Miniature beauty queen Mallory accepts the challenge, as do Kisha and Amanda. Kisha & Jen remind us of their inability to dive on their previous season and they cannot swim still. If I knew swimming was a huge issue for me previously, as soon as I accepted doing the race again, I would’ve been signed up at the Y for lessons immediately.

Despite a few brushes with smaller sharks, Mallory and Amanda find the compass relatively easy but Kisha is still searching. The second ferry with Goths, Globetrotters, Zev & Justin, Jaime & Cara and Luke & Margie is nearly at Oceanworld. The trailers are finally to the ferry but Jet & Cord make a huge mistake and overshoot the ticket booth. They are officially in last and have to wait for the next ferry as Mel & Mike and Ron & Christina leave minutes earlier.

On shore, the second group of racers facing the Roadblock includes Flight, Cara, Justin, Vyxsin and Margie. Before they get in the tank, Kisha has located her compass and is off to join Amanda and Mallory sitting on the dock of Manly Bay. Not far behind them, Christina and Mel get chosen for the Roadblock. Surprisingly, none of the team members has exhibited anything close to freaking out in a tank with sharks and none of the teams seem particularly stumped by locating the compass, except maybe Vyxsin, who is now the only person from the second group still in the tank. I guess this Roadblock was more intimidating in description than execution.

Mallory deciphers the code first is heading to the Manly Skiff Club to deliver a message for the next clue. Securely in last place, Jet & Cord finally get to Oceanworld and have much ground to make up or their business will remained unfinished. Jet dives in but notes that there isn’t a whole lot of diving experience you can gain from living in Oklahoma and he jokes (I hope) of an aversion to baths.

Gary & Mallory get their next clue, which directs them to help sail a 16 foot skiff into bay and find a clue attached to a buoy. Kisha and Amanda decide to work together while languishing out on the dock. This move was clearly motivated by the arrival of Justin, Margie, Flight and Cara at the decoder portion of the Roadblock. But it works for them and they are off to the skiff club. As expected, Jaime and Margie have rekindled their alliance and started working together again.

Kisha & Jen and Amanda & Kris gear up for their skiff rides as Gary snags the clue for their team. The skiff task is quick and painless as all three teams are neck-and-neck on the way to Phil on a beach. Back in the tank, the remaining four teams have found the compass but Vyxsin is still floundering (yes bad pun intended) and can’t navigate her way out of the tank.
