The contestants experince a western movie challenge, including lassoing other campers and landing on horses from a diving board. Trent continues to throw challenges for Gwen.
Tropes:
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: In response to Chris's list of Wild West movie clichés, Beth excitedly asks about the pretty dames. Chris shouts back at her that it's none of her beeswax, then laughs and strokes her over the head as he answers that they're usually at the saloon.
- Bait-and-Switch Comparison: Duncan is asked why he picks on Harold so badly and gives his answer in the confessional. Rather than outright say it, he opens with the hint that "she's about ye tall, has beautiful brown hair, and could tear you limb from limb." A shot later, he specifies that he's not talking about a bear, but about his girlfriend Courtney, whom Harold got eliminated the previous season.
- Bully Magnet: Harold gets bullied by Duncan throughout the episode considering that the latter is trying to get back at him for getting Courtney eliminated in Basic Straining.
- Call-Back: In the confessional, Duncan explains why he's really been taking it out on Harold lately. He found out about how Harold got Courtney eliminated last season, so he wants payback.
- Cowboy Episode: The challenge originally invoked a classic western, only for it to change to one team serving as the cowboys who have to wrangle the other team, playing the cows. The cows win.
- Curse Cut Short: During a confessional, Duncan reveals that the reason he's intensified his bullying of Harold is because Harold got Courtney booted the previous season. He ends the reveal with the words "Payback's a-," prompting a cut to another scene before Duncan can finish on "bitch".
- Eye Am Watching You: After already mocking Chef's dress once and getting tied down for it, Chris does it again during the award ceremony. This time, Chef curtly answers by pointing two fingers at his own eyes and then to Chris. Chris takes the hint and backs off.
- Fan Disservice: Owen's cowboy garb is this, since he isn't wearing a shirt and the trousers he's wearing show a lot of skin, as well as his underwear.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: Owen sneaks a glance at Lindsay's cleavage while the latter reels from the news of Gwen and Trent's breakup.
- Freudian Excuse: Downplayed. Duncan's reason for bullying Harold was to get back at him for rigging the votes on Courtney but the reason why he did it was to get back at Duncan for his constant bullying/pranking.
- Funny Afro: Leshawna's hair puffs into an afro due to the humidity. When she falls from a weather vane, her hair bounces her like a trampoline
- Groin Attack: Trent suffers a nasty one when he misses the horse and lands crotch-first on a fencepost.
- Halfway Plot Switch: The second part of the challenge was going to be a classic western duel with water pistols, but Owen drank all the water in them, so they had to change to wrangling the other team as cattle instead.
- Heat Wave: The episode is set during one of these. This is Truth in Television, as Toronto can get extremely hot during late summer.
- Impact Silhouette: For the first challenge, the contestants have to jump from way up high and land on the back of a horse. When it's Owen's turn, the horse wisely decides to get out of the corpulent boy's way. Owen subsequently slams an Owen-shaped hole in the ground.
- Jerkass: Duncan spends most of the episode bullying Harold as revenge for the latter rigging the votes on Courtney during Island.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After throwing one too many challenges for Gwen (despite her telling him to stop) Trent ends up getting voted off by his teammates when Gwen confesses to his teammates that he's been throwing challenges for her when Justin confronts her and makes her confess to Trent's teammates.
- Late to the Punchline: Beth, who adores horses, enthusiastically talks about how Justin even said she looks like one until she realizes that wasn't a compliment.
- Male Gaze:When Leshawna and Heather are caught hanging from the weather vein by their pants, we can clearly see Heather's butt uncensored. Leshawna's pants then rip causing her to fall, though she managed to land safely and briefly mocks Heather until Chris laughs at her exposed backside, albeit censored. Neither one of the girls seemingly wore underwear in this episode.
- Misplaced Retribution: Justin, having interpreted the conversation between Trent and Gwen incorrectly, blames the whole "Trent throwing the challenges" plot on Gwen.
- Oh, Crap!: The horse has this when it's Owen's turn to jump on it, running away so that Owen doesn't get on. Owen wins.
- Overly Long Gag: The past-its-prime horse farts for a long while in its introduction.
- Over-the-Shoulder Carry: Trent is shocked to be voted off and refuses to leave without saying goodbye to Gwen, who is not present at the elimination ceremony because she's on the other team and because the two of them recently and awkwardly broke up. Not one to tolerate campers that make their elimination a chore, Chef picks him up, throws him over his shoulder, and carries him off to throw him into the Lame-o-sine.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title is a play on the film 3:10 to Yuma (2007).
- Running Gag: After Trent embarrasses himself in front of Gwen, he shows up in the confessional several times, slapping himself and repeating the word stupid over and over again.
- Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Owen fails to land on the horse (mostly due to the horse running away), but manages to catch up to it after it runs away and wrestle it into submission. Chris decides to count it over the protests of the Gaffers.
- Ship Sinking: Trent and Gwen break up this episode.
- Shout-Out: The horse challenge is based on a scene in the movie The Mask of Zorro, where he jumps on a horse from a tall building (and misses).
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: When everyone has to wait for Harold to vacate the barrel so they can clean themselves, people tell him to hurry up and Owen notes that he really has to pee. It doesn't draw nearly as much ire as when he hastily insists he'd never pee in the barrel. Eventually he admits he would.
- Tempting Fate: As Trent attempts to jump onto the horse, he notes that things couldn't get any worse. He promptly lands crotch first on a nearby fence post.
- Trent: (In obvious pain) Or maybe they can.
- The Western: Though oddly not invoking any of the tropes of the genre.
- Wham Episode: Trent and Gwen break up, Gwen is blamed for what Trent did, Justin proves himself to be some sort of threat, and Trent is voted out.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Chris forces Gwen to watch Trent's elimination, for the sole purpose of making her feel bad.
