First aired on August 16, 2009

Antonio swims ashore to the rapturous delight of his beautiful love prospects on the Big Island beach. After immediately dismissing one of the women because he didn't like her hands and feet, the remaining ladies must make the arduous climb up Mount Pu' U' in a show of determination for Antonio.[14][15]

Autumn and Christi emerge victorious and Antonio and the two girls will later have a romantic boatride date. Meanwhile, the girls attend a disco with Antonio, where tension rises between the girls as Christi and Tania clash after Tania accuses her of being two-faced. After the date, Tully tells Jessica that she's too young for Antonio, and she lashes back and points out that Tully still lives in her parents and does not have a job. Miranda has not spent time with Antonio due to a allergic reaction to a spider bite, and the girls ponder why she's so confident that she's staying since she never spends time with Antonio. At elimination, Antonio says so long to Jessica, telling her that she's too young.
