Are we ready? Yep! Let's get this show ON!
Teams are heading to Zimbabwe. They are at a Wildlife and Rhino Conservatory. Each team must build their own tent. Cody gets his tent done first. Jessica wasn't really any help.
Phil wakes them all up before dawn. He tells them they will partner swap and we get a commercial. Since Cody's tent was first, he chooses to swap with the Ski Gals because they're the strongest. Ocean goes with IndyCar. Yale gets the twins. They split up within that.
Must take a raft out looking for canteens containing their next clue. From there they go to a ranger tower.
Detour: Rhino Track or Bushwhack. The rhinos horns have been removed already by the staff so poachers leave them alone. They must retrieve poaching clues or gather water. Neither Jess nor Kristi can drive a stick shift, so they can't do Bushwhack.
Cody and Jen are through the Detour first and are on their way to the Pit Stop.
They get to the Pit Stop first but Phil tells them they need to wait for their teammates. Alex and Brittany arrive next. Lucas and Conor arrive. The partner swap is over and the race is still on. They get their next clue.
The teams are heading to the capital of Zimbabwe.
Double U-Turn -- Indy U-Turned Yale, Ocean U-Turned Jody.
Delivering mail or delivering tires.
From there, it's onto: Must learn a song and perform a local dance. Kristi and Jen are in the lead. Because singing the song is so hard, both U-Turned teams caught up and all are trying the song. Ocean gets through it first.
Pit Stop:
1. Lucas and Brittany - won trip to St. Lucia
2. Kristi and Jen
3. Alex and Conor
4. Henry and Evan
5. Jessica and Cody
6. Eric and Daniel -- Philiminated
