One exceptional gay man. Fifteen extraordinary suitors vying for his attention. But appearances aren't always what they seem: what neither the gay suitors nor the leading man knows is that some of suitors are straight men pretending to be gay in hopes of winning a cash prize. In a world where gay is the norm and straight men must stay in the closet, will boundaries be crossed? Can stereotypes be shattered? Will romance prevail?

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.

Episode 4 ended with the shocking revelation that one of the three remaining Mates -- Brian, Franklin or Wes -- is secretly straight. If James' "gaydar" is accurate and he picks one of the gay Mates, he will not only win that romantic trip to New Zealand but also pocket $25,000. Should he do otherwise, the money will instead go to the straight guy.

The final elimination ceremony is still fourteen hours away. That's a lot of time for three anxious Mates to wait. Nothing helps kill time like a little vodka, and soon the edgy threesome turn into a trio of merry pranksters. Left unattended, they make off with a Boy Meets Boy camera and stage a little show of their own.
