Josh twists Anne’s mantra around so that he can live by his own

Entering the study for the first part of the task, Josh surveys the room and immediately says he has a good feeling that he is going to win the task.

Having read the task brief, Josh shares that he likes to say “Oink oink bitches!” to his friends (thus coining the episode title), meaning “We’re in now. Have a mojito!”. Deciding that this is his mantra, he leaves the room to look for a pig, and finds one immediately. He stands the pig in front of his poster, on which he has written “Oink oink bitches” in pink, square bubble writing.

For the second part of the task, Josh is presented with Anne’s mantra of “You are the field by which you can choose to plough”, and decides that this means that instead of looking outwards for help, you should look inwards. He decides that by following his own mantra of “Oink oink bitches!”, he would therefore be following Anne’s mantra in the most authentic way possible.

Josh says he’s going to eat a lot of candy and drink some beers. He also asks if he can do ketamine, and Tom indicates that’s not happening.

Josh asks Tom to get him a plate of kimchi and cheese toasties and three beers, before increasing his order to four beers.

Josh and Tom then go to the balcony, where Josh notes that his mantra is all about having fun and doing what you want to do, and that he’s always wanted to go out on the boat.

Josh and Tom are then seen sitting in the rowing boat in the middle of the lake, eating together. Josh feeds Tom some pickles, while Josh says he thinks he’s really nailed it.

In the studio, Tom Gleeson notes that Josh had managed to weasel the task back to his own mantra. Tom Cashman reveals that it’s not the last time that Josh’s creative brainstorming process had led to him drinking beer, leading Josh to reply “Oink oink bitches!”

Josh earns 4 points.
