Chris finally finds the edible sandal and are off.

LEO & JAMAL ARE FIRST TO ARRIVE AT THE PIT STOP! They win a seven-day cruise sponsored by Travelocity to Tahiti with a gorgeous estate room where they will visit 7 islands with a beautiful feast.

Colin & Christie, tired, arrive 2nd. Janelle & Britney realize their mistake and make their way to Park instead of Shiba Station after reading a transit map.

YouTubers, Victor & Nicole, and Rachel & Elissa are in the middle of the pack doing their best at the slide task.

The remaining Survivor teams arrive 9th and 10th (Hippies and Team Stick/Vocal Chords) at the Roadblock and are at it with the sandals. Laura quickly finds the sandal and are Lady & Tramping the edible sandal. Gross. Corinne & Eliza are pissed and believe they are the last team and are anticipating their elimination at this point.

We come back to Eliza saying this is horrendous.

Rachel & Elissa and Team Fun get their Mt Fuji clue after military crawling to the top.

Corinne is feeling the pressure and is disappointed as Eliza gets the edible sandal. They talk about working as a cohesive unit is hard.

Team Fun are 5th place! Nicole & Victor are 6th place and they are blown out of the water with the expectations and rigor.
Art & JJ are at the sandals completely sucking at it. Brett vs. Brit at the climbing respectively getting the clues in 7th and 8th.
Rupert & Laura... are playing with an old bell at a random temple, hahaha.
Chris & Bret and Britney & Janelle arrive 7th place and 8th place.
Corinne does the 2nd Roadblock and succeeds! Headed for a ninth place finish.

JJ is doing the 2nd Roadblock and is inherently having flashbacks to the Hawaiian sledding fiasco. Meanwhile, Corinne & Eliza are tricked with a Philimination quote thinking they were last (9TH PLACE!) :funny:

JJ is getting a giant leg cramp and Art is embarrassed for him. In the meantime, Rupert & Laura are doing some more "standup" comedy.

The cramp is unsettling as we fade into a -COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Art injures his foot and Rupert & Laura have been in the park for 2 hours!  :funny:

I have to say this... this leg is a bit more intense than what I had expected initially, but the tasks deserve nothing but disrespect from me. :lol: Laughable to say the least.

We return to the final 10 minutes of the show with JJ and his story of the calf cramp. The medics are cold gassing and lifting his left leg for quicker recovery. Rupert & Laura have elapsed 2 hours just searching for the park. What happened to novices turning to masters?
:carryon: They eventually find the 2nd roadblock.

Hippies realize the border patrol agents have taken the penalty on the first leg. Embarrassing. It all depends on Rupert at this point on.

We're back!

Ohhhhh that looks like a strained calf (I've done this before, IT HURTS!)

Art & JJ take the 4-hour penalty! :(

Rupert & Laura are still looking for the 2nd RoadBlock!  :funny:

Interesting, Art & JJ are serving the penalty at the RoadBlock location, not the Pit Stop? ???
