The sexual tension between James Hough and Elizabeth Frankini is pretty much palpable. Right from the word go, one could see that they would end up being together. Although it's not known if they have continued their romance off the yacht as well, things have started to look pretty intense lately. 

In this week's episode, the couple will go out on a dinner date while the rest of the crew members stay at the yacht to play a drinking game. As they sift through the menu, James orders a pizza and a B-52. 

What's a B-52?

It's a layered cocktail shot which when served neatly forms three layers comprising of coffee liqueur, Irish cream and a Grand Marnier. Usually, it is served in a shot glass with a stirrer, undiluted and without ice. 



 

As he sipped his drink, James cheekily said: "You know I can drink. Don't try and keep up with me." Even though Elizabeth hinted that she won't follow in his footsteps, the results were going to be obvious. 

What happened the last time they got drunk?

James and Elizabeth were out having dinner and drinks with the team when she started to openly flirt with him. It put him on a spot but made up for it when they got into a hot tub post-meal. The two kissed and spend a good time together.

However, what happened next was unexpected. The development in their relationship had quickly become a hot topic of conversation among their teammates, especially between Ashling Lorger and Francesca Rubi. The two couldn't stop gossiping about James and Elizabeth dating. The chief stewardess thought Elizabeth was being completely unprofessional by being intimate with a teammate.

In other news, we'll also see how the drunk-woman-jumps-into-water narrative plays out. Dolores, one of the guests, got sloshed and decided to make a splash, so much so that it pushed Captain Lee Rosbach to cancel the charter. He informed the guests that the yacht will be docked soon.
