Fred turned "jasmine shimmer" red, and Josh received 1 point.
Roisin Conaty: Roisin asked Fred if he had ever seen someone with three breasts, and then asked him if four was too many.

Fred turned "ballet slipper/sangria" red, and Roisin received 5 points.

Tim Key: Tim got Fred to say various flirtatious phrases in Swedish such as: "This is my pond", "Make yourself comfortable", "I'm gonna pour us both a bit of sherry", "I like to parade around in my little denim shorts" and "When I get half a chance, I like to parade around in my little denim jeans waving". He also asked if he had been handcuffed, whipped, smothered in chocolate, kicked or kissed. Fred turned "cherry blossom" red, and Tim received 2 points.
