Brendon & Rachel go for the fast forward. When they arrive, just before 09:00, there they find the priests and a sign:QuoteIt is a custom in India toThis fast forward is a switchback from an earlier season. The last team to complete this, Uchenna & Joyce, ultimately won their season.
express gratitude for good

willing to express their

To win the fast forward
each of you must have your
head shaved.
Choice quotes:
"For me, no doubt I'd shave my head", Brendon has no problem with the task
"I don't wanna shave my head", Rachel gets emotional
"Baby, this is your decision", Brendon let's Rachel decide
So Brendon & Rachel give up the fast forward and go to the coir mat factory instead.
Teams reach the coir mat factory, and find their next clue on a roll of rope, in the following order:
1(+2) Vanessa & Ralph
2(-1) Rachel & Dave
3(+1) Art & JJ
4(-2) Brendon & RachelQuoteROAD BLOCK
Who's at the end of their
rope?
NOTE: Brendon and
Bopper must perform the
Roadblock.
Team members must now use coconut fibers to spin 40 feet of rope. They must then spool four large bundles of rope onto one spindle. The making of the rope is fairly tricky and the second part is tedious and hard on the hands.
Choice quotes:
"It seems easy to get this going", Ralph has not hit the hard part yet
"Dave looks pretty sexy in a skirt", Dave's wife teases
"Ralph, why the hell are we doing this?", Dave finds the rope making hard
"Why didn't you go to the fast forward?", JJ asks BB Rachel
"I just don't want to talk about it", and that is a sensitive issue for Rachel
"I need hair to be pretty", BB Rachel gets the title
"Does anybody play the game strategically? Does anybody have a clue what is going on?", JJ is upset
"Man, this is killing my back", Art is spooling rope
"Babe, I don't need positive reinforcement. Please, I appreciate silence", Dave to his wife
"Art and I are leaving, you're the last one. The hammer's gonna fall on you. This is perfect for Mark & Bopper", JJ sows doubt and fear in Rachel
Dave is the first to complete the rope spinning part at 09:30.
Teams complete the roadblock in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock)

Detour: "Pachyderm" or
"Pack-A-Box"
Pachyderm: Decorate an
elephant for a local
festival, then clean up
after her.
Pack-A-Box: Pack &
Crate ten boxes full of
ginger. Then label the

In pachyderm teams must properly decorate an elephant with a golden head dress and decorative bells and ornaments. Then they have to shovel and transport 15 wheelbarrows of elephant manure to a nearby truck.
In pack-a-box teams teams must pack ginger. Teams must pick up 10 empty boxes, fill them with ginger, seal and stencil each box and finally deliver them to a nearby depot.
Choice quotes:
"We've been waiting on manual labor", JJ selects detour
"This is so cool", Army Rachel likes working with the elephant
"I love elephants more than anything", Vanessa also likes this detour
"So we thought we were playing with people who have half a brain, but no. They are the laziest group of people I have ever met", JJ is still upset about the fast forward
"Holy manure', Vanessa as she is shoveling elephant dung
"My dad is a bricklayer, so I grew up wheelbarrowing lots of bricks", Brendon on why he knew how to handle a wheelbarrow
"Dear lord, can we do any more slower than this?", JJ is frustrated
"Ah, I cut my hand wide open", JJ cuts himself loading boxes
The ginger packing turns out to be tedious, hot, labor intensive and slow while the elephant dressing looks very fun and is a lot faster. Art & JJ pass the time by pretending to be Dave & Rachel shouting at each other.
At this point in the telecast we get to see Bopper & Mark receive the clue at the first temple. They decide to go for the fast forward. Once they arrive they are unfazed by the head-shaving so they go ahead with it. This is a particularly easy decision for Mark since he is already bald.
Choice quotes:
"This fast forward could be a life-line for us", Mark
"You don't look as good as me, but you look good bro", Mark to a bald BopperQuoteCongratulations!
You have won the Fast Forward!

"There go Rachel & Dave", BB Rachel arrives just as the ferry leaves
As usual the episode is cut to make it look like there was a close race between the last two teams. In interviews later we learn that there was probably at least 30 minutes between them.

5(+0) Bopper & Mark, are eliminated
We learn that Rachel & Dave, who now have 6 wins, want to beat the record of 7 wins.
At the Pit Stop Phil nudges Vanessa a little and gets her to say that she think Brendon & Rachel did not transport enough elephant dung. But apparently the producers kept count and they did. But he gets a nice argument going between the girls. The boys however look uncomfortable and try to get the girls to stop. In the end both girls say they are sorry and shake hands.
