While the exes scramble to find their error, Jason & Amy then pass them up with their next clue in hand and also provide no assistance to a pleading/yelling Marie. But the dating duo do explain to an approaching Travis & Nicole to be sure to put their fish on a marked pole. This makes me like the Boston couple even more because Amy intentionally withheld that info from Marie even though she knew that was their mistake. She’s a keeper, Jason.

We haven’t seen how the Hammer of the Cods is going in a bit. All draped in dead dried cod, OK-Tim ambles up the hill to the warehouse with Danny carrying their bags and a couple fish of his own. The amount of effort this task requires has me questioning the baseball wives' ability to complete it. But that’s getting ahead of myself because the ladies are still trying to trying to retrieve their fish with Kim climbing and Nicky carrying most of it.

While the doctors follow the advice of their Boston partners, Marie just follows them period. As Travis is hanging the fish, the lightbulb shines atop Marie's head that they were in the wrong spot. This unleashes yet another yelling fit in the direction of Tim to help her take them down and move them. Both these teams are now on their way to the boat ride.

As they leave, Marie takes the opportunity to mock the fact that the Ice girls and Afghanimals are together at the back of the pack. It's funny coming from a team that fell from first to fourth because of her own slip-up.

The cod jerky making is finally moving along with the Okies and there is no danger of them being passed on this task by the baseball wives. Poor Nicky is struggling in a fierce way with carrying the cod but keeps on going. I am impressed with how well they can handle the physical task but the mental ones usually result in tears, it seems.

Ally & Ashley and Leo & Jamal finish up their Detour without issue. That makes the exes the only ones that flubbed the task.

With Nicky & Kim finally delivering their cod and starting the hammer portion of the task, OK-Tim & Danny finish and honestly tell the ladies that it is very hard and they wish they had done the other option.

Cruising up to the next clue, Team Beardo is in first and gets to the Roadblock, which asks "Who's a real swinger?" Wait...what kind of challenge will this be during the family hour of television?

Oh, the person has to swing from a bungee cord off a bridge and then release themselves into the water below. They must then swim to a buoy for their clue and join their teammate on a boat. Don't forget...they are in the Arctic Circle.

Brandon dons the requisite wetsuit and takes the plunge with fervor. Like a fish or "seal shark" as Adam calls him, Brandon completes the Roadblock, has the clue and they are still securely in first place, heading out to the next clue. This is one very fast and furious leg.
