As the sun rises on Day 2, James and Andra have a quiet poolside breakfast and plan for the day. Meanwhile, not too far away at the Mates' House, a dozen men -- gay or pretending to be -- share the joys of communal living: sun bathing, swimming, flirting…and waiting in line for the bathroom. The first activity of the day has a western theme. James and six of the mates are decked out in cowboy hats and flashy boots for an afternoon of line dancing in the hot desert sun. There they meet Jorge, their dance instructor. Once they've got a grasp of the basic steps, the guys partner up and attempt a few more intimate variations. Once again, decision time. Three men have to be eliminated, but now there's a catch: the twelve mates are divided into groups of four, and James must eliminate one guy from each group. James bids a reluctant goodbye to Jim and Paul who, unbeknownst to James, were both secretly straight, as well as Marc who, although gay, never felt much chemistry with our Leading Man.
