Border Patrol is suited up but dealing with JJ’s extreme fear of heights. Whereas Brendon loses his footing and gets twisted in his descent, while Bad Rachel is near petrified as she is lowered down the building. But they are all able to spot the flags, including Art & JJ, who I would recommend ditching their crappy driver for someone a little more navigationally gifted.

Rachel & Dave are the first ones to get to the Roadblock and it requires them to use a samurai sword to make shaved ice. They have to get a container filled to a certain line to get the clue from an actor from Hawaii Five-0 (Hello, CBS crossover). Dave opts to do the Roadblock.

Art is all gung-ho and ecstatic about the rappelling but JJ “just wants to live.” At the Roadblock, Brendon is doing the shaved ice task. Dave gets the thumbs up and is handed the clue, which makes me think that any quibbling over an incomplete Roadblock might be a result of the judge not being as strict as they should be. They are instructed to go on foot to nearby helicopters that will take them to their next clue. Maybe it’s the “on foot” that causes the issue. Rachel & Dave run over to the helicopters and Dave feels in his element but isn’t used to being a passenger.

JJ puts on the gloves for the Roadblock and gets to work. There’s no time to engage in the chitchat that Bad Rachel tries to start up. Brendon finishes but glosses over the clue all together it seems as they run to their cab and for some reason point him to the Oahu Stadium. It must be the “outfield” part of the clue.

Art & JJ are also done with the Roadblock and run to board their helicopter. Well, at the stadium the lack of helicopters shines a light on their huge mistake. They are now heading back to the Roadblock because they have finally actually read their clue.

Rachel & Dave’s helicopter lands and they are about to play lifeguard. To rescue the swimmer, one person drives a wave runner and the other is on the sled behind it. The one on the sled has to bring the swimmer on board and then they can return to the shore for their clue. Blonde Rachel assures Dave that she can drive the wave runner because Dave’s strength will be necessary to pull the “victim” out of the water.

They do it pretty quickly, which raises my fear that Rachel & Dave will be the penalized team. They get their next clue, which points them to Coral Kingdom Gate and a marked path for their next clue. Unfortunately, they don’t have a ton of confidence in their cabbie.

Big Brother is now near the helicopters and Bad Rachel is throwing all kinds of fits about how Brendon is blaming her for the mistake (even though we don’t see him do that), how she hates him and throws the bag at him. Please…oh…please…don’t let this train wreck of a team win the race. At least I correctly predicted that this outburst did not stem from the finish line error that the ads tried to convince us of.
