More fun than almost every other team.

While they head back to the bakery, the other teams have started to land and the dentists have opted for Parking Space. The two set-ups to pick from are an outdoor/park-esque setting and a faux living room. Each appears to have several dozens pieces that need to be correctly placed.

Both the husband and wife proclaim that attention to detail is crucial to their jobs, so they should get this one right quickly. As they plug away, the cyclists have their next clue and a couple of free cookies for the road. Next stop is a restaurant called Ida Davidsen's.

The fuel efficient driving isn't quite as easy as the smart car is probably supposed to make it. Now Tag Team Brooke & Robbie, surfers Adam & Bethany, Candy Crush Amy & Maya and Tim & Te Jay all have to answer the additional question. Locals are their salvation, except for TNT, who rattle off the answers like geography savants.

In this batch, Survivor's Keith & Whitney get their fuel in check and gain a little ground as the lead team heading back to Denmark.

The time on Team DDS' first attempt is about to expire and they can't pinpoint the problem area. The producers show the home audience exactly the issue: the flower pot in their park bench setting is turned the wrong way with a seven-pedaled daisy showing instead of the correct eight pedals.

Time's up and they get evicted from their spot by the parking meter monitor. The frustration mounts for the dentists as Candy Crush shows up.

Over at Wedding Cake, the surfers, survivors and suplex-ors all get their cake together and try to master their bike. Keith appears to be trying to get run over. None of these teams had the same idea to take the icing with them, so we get a lot of footage of cakes toppling over like Jenga.

Bringing up the rear in placement but taking the lead in overall frustration are the Super Fannies Shelley & Nici. It's mainly Nici on the angry front, as she insists the marked car for them is located in the garage, which it isn't. Finally, checking the upper deck, they find it and Shelley is putting up a wall until the daughter apologizes for her outburst. Awkward family drama, party of two.

It doesn't take long for Keith & Whitney and Adam & Bethany to bail on the Cake and head to Space. As soon as they saw the bikes, the surfers should've known this challenge would be an issue, since Bethany would be unable to balance the cake with only one arm and steering the bike could be quite difficult.

Back at Space, the scientists plow through the task and TNT is now there much to the chagrin (get it, grin...smile...dentists...never mind) of Misti & Jim, who are still stumped. Jim begins to wonder if the oversight is based on something they can't even see in the photo example. Yeah, that's the problem, Jim. Surely it's not just you overlooking something. Oh wait, it is.
