Meghan is the next one to find the flag and pulls a fast one on Cheyne with a decent acting job of her acting like she was quitting and then running past him waving the flag. They are team number two.

Despite being the last team to start this leg, Brian and Ericka make up some ground as he finds the next flag and they are checked in as team number three.

Now is the time for more and more footage of unrolling hay over and over. Finally, Sam finds a flag. They dart to the pit stop and Dan breaks down about being an obnoxious, loud idiot to Sam during the challenge.

Cut back to the field and Gary is still going at it. He explains that he wasn't going to quit the task because that would be quitting on the race. My assumption at this point is that this will be a non-elimination round because I don't imagine the producers letting this continue to go on if Gary and Matt were going to be eliminated anyway. I mean, Phil is right there and could have easily walked over to tell them the bad news.

Gary finds a flag after more than two hours and 45 minutes and they are checked in as team number five, which means they are not eliminated and have a special Speed Bump they have to perform in the next leg. I hope it's as simple as the "make soup" one Tiffany and Maria had early in the race.

So we started the episode with five teams and even though we end with the same number of teams, Sam and Dan have fallen from first to fourth. Next week, it appears that the competition between the brothers and the Globetrotters reaches a pinnacle with a possible physical tussle as they race through a challenge.
