In the recap, we see Kym & Alli and Misti & Jim continue their rivalry, Tim & Tee Jay suffer for art, the Wrestlers attempt to enjoy the opera, Misti & Jim come in first again (damn!) & Tim & Tee Jay get spared by an NEL.

Misti & Jim depart at 6:37 AM.

Teams must now make their way to Malta and upon arriving, they'll have to pick up a tray of drinks and deliver them up Swiss stairs to the knights of Malta!

They are ready for more wins.

Kym & Alli depart at 6:42 AM.

Amy & Maya depart at 7:10 AM.

They have no idea where Malta is :lol:

Amy's leg is painful apparently. Brooke & Robbie laugh at their jog.

Tim & Te Jay depart last at 7:44 AM.

Brooke & Robbie want to get rid of the Cyclists.

They make a deal with Misti/Jim to U-Turn the Cyclists. Everyone is against the Cyclists.

An alliance is born.

Robbie changes his name to "Sniper". :lol:

Teams arrive in Malta!

I sympathize with Amy & Maya.  That would be a nerve-racking task for me!

Brooke & Robbie finally find a taxi. Kym & Alli see a sign for tickets to blue grotto. They find necklaces. There are 3 7:30s and 3 7:45s. Tim & TeJay wanted their speedbump to be there. :lol:

Amy & Maya cleaning up the dropped glass.

Kym & Alli, Tim & TeJay and Misti & Jim get 7:30.

Amy & Maya finish the task in last on their 6th attempt.

Surfers and wrestlers picked up the 7:45 necklace. Amy & Maya last to the necklace.

Tim & TeJay and Kym & Alli talking about where to sleep... They don't want the rats and nasty bugs. All teams camping out for the night. :lol:

Group 1 gets the roadblock clue. Teams will have to rappel 20 stories down a cliff into the blue grotto where they'll meet their partner. They'll search the cave for their next clue. Teams are getting on boats to the cliff.

Group 2 gets the RB clue. Weird out of order placements here. :lol: Teams boating to the cliff too.

Tim, Alli and Misti are doing the RB. All the other team members in boats watching. Misti is quickest at the start. I can sense the competition between dentists and cyclists. Jim and Kym keep updating their partners about where the other one is. Tim is slowest lol.

Misti first in water I think. Alli right behind. Alli jumps into the water. Misti jumps in, followed by Tim. They're searching for the clue. Alli saw a blue light at a boat and she just followed it. She got to the clue first. Tim: "I have too much clothes on me." :lol: Misti and Tim got the clue and are swimming back.

Brooke says that as always, cyclists get the clue first... Brooke says she hopes their plan to U-Turn them works.

Proceed to Church of St. Scholastica and search for the next clue. Cyclists first, dentists second, T&T third.

Bethany is going down really quickly. Brooke says of course she's quickest lol. Amy is slowest. Phil does a live standup! Kym: "Have fun Phil!"

Bethany first to get the clue. Brooke said her feet look like a propeller on a boat. Brooke: "How is that possible?"

Adam & Bethany in 4th. Bethany was so quick! Amy in 5th. Brooke: "Amy beat you swimming. How is that possible?" Robbie finishes in last lol.

Cyclists get the detour clue. Flag or Shine. Teams will blindly select which side they will pick... Arrows going to both detours. THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! :o Speedbump is there. Cyclists are going to go to flag...

Flag requires people to grab a flag at the end of a greasy pole. One team member must grab a yellow flag and the other must grab a red.They'll receive their next clue.

Alli got a yellow flag on her first try! She went super slowly, but she made it. Kym falls. Kym: "I hate you for getting the yellow one." :lol: Kym went on her 3rd attempt.

Omg. Tim & Te Jay didn't even find the detour decision point but they're putting on equipment for flag... They decide to look for the detour clue and they find the speedbump. Paint the Maltese cross on a shield. When a knight approves it, they can continue racing. Misti & Jim doing flag as well... BUT THEY DIDN'T GET THE DETOUR CLUE EITHER? :groan:

Commercial.

Misti & Jim realize they didn't even make it to the detour decision point. They take off their equipment to go find the cluebox. Misti says at least they know they don't want to do flags.

Kym's upset that Alli got the yellow flag because she's the one afraid of heights. They're switching. Alli apologizes.

Adam & Bethany and Misti & Jim looking for detour cluebox. Amy & Maya find it in 2nd. Dentists and surfers find it. Amy & Maya pick shine.

Brooke: So sick of being in last. They're doing shine.

Shine requires teams to polish each other off. When the knight feels like they're knights in shining armour, they can get their next clue. All 4 teams at shine.

Adam & Bethany hand in their EP at flag. Pit stop! Fort Manoel! :hearts:

Tim & TeJay think there are 2 teams behind them.

Tim & TeJay complete their speedbump. They think 1 team is behind them.

Amy & Maya are at flag now...? Tim & Te Jay at flag too. Tim falls. Te Jay gets the yellow flag.

Amy couldn't sprint... She said she can't run... She has a leg injury? They're going back to shine? ??? Did they go to shine first or am I just crazy? :lol:

Brooke: "My mom made me polish her silverware when I was younger." lol what.

Wrestlers not sure if they should switch or not. Robbie says they shouldn't. Amy & Maya arrive.

Tim can't get the red flag.
