Meghan and Cheyne finally figure out the extra parts must be used and get the next clue. They are off to Leap of Faith, a giant water slide at nearly a 90 degree angle that goes under a shark tank. But we knew that was coming because of the mental breakdown by Mika that was teased last week.

Brian and Ericka show up at Glass as Meghan and Cheyne are leaving. Sam and Dan pick Gold, as do their partners in crime, Tiffany and Maria.

Brian and Ericka rip through building the hookahs but thanks to Ericka's comment about the hoses, "I don't think that the color matters," they don't get their next clue. Between Meghan and Cheyne and now these guys, I would have made a huge mistake selecting Glass.

The world's most worthwhile impulse is up next. Sam and Dan comment that before leaving on the race that saw a calculator at Wal-Mart for $2. Yes, they name-checked the retailer and we have had product/company shoutouts that run the full spectrum from Rolex to Wal-Mart. Well played, CBS. This is ideal for the Gold task. So, Wal-Mart basically got paid $2 (plus tax) for a mention on a prime-time show. That had to one of the clauses in the company's pact with the devil.

Alas, Sam and Dan are dumbfounded about the math equation. Luckily, the girls show up and use the calculator to get the ounces but have to tell them the number they need. Both teams finish quickly.

Mika and Canaan arrive at Glass and Mika basically sits back and lets Canaan do the work as usual. Flight Time and Big Easy also select the Glass route.

As they get to the Leap of Faith water slide, Cheyne and Meghan admit they are both afraid of heights but they power through it. In the wading pool at the base of the slide, they clue tells them to find the pit stop on the beach of the resort. For the second leg in a row, Meg and Cheyne are team number one.

Brian and Ericka are still trying to fix their hookahs but they are stuck with all the last teams. After yet another failed attempt and a well-timed commercial break, Brian sees that the striped hose must match the striped base. At the same time, Matt and Gary lose a pair of tongs and are faced with a proverbial ‘needle and the haystack.'

Flight Time and Big Easy note that Brian and Ericka were two hours ahead of them and if it took them that long to do the Glass task, then they should bail and head to the Gold task.

The girls and brothers finish Leap of Faith without issue and are teams number two and number three, respectively. Tiffany lovingly says that when Sam and Dan were running down the beach, "They definitely had a Baywatch moment. They were looking fine out there on that beach." Poor oblivious Tiffany and your lack of gaydar.
