MTV aired episode 5 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 6, titled Get Your Sack in the Hole, on Thursday, February 23 at 8 pm ET.

In the episode, Michael Sorrentino (Mike) tried to qualify for the semi-finals of the Cornhole tournament by competing against another team, Ben and Jimmy, in front of hundreds of people. Mike's friends were also at the stadium to cheer for him.

The two teams, comprising of two players each, had to throw sandbags into a board hole. Initially, it looked like Mike had a chance, but by round seven, he started to get into his own head and lost the quarter-finals by three points.

Mike felt that he let victory slip through his fingers but was glad that he did not get eliminated before Jay Cutler, a competitor who was trash-talking him in Angelina's DM.

Mike's friends praised his game and said that he could return to the competition next year. Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans had seen how hard Mike trained for the tournament and praised him for his gameplay.

Pauly D also called them a good couple, saying that they were Yin and Yang. Vinny was still apprehensive about dating someone he worked with but said that there might be a chance.
