The teams have to figure out their next clue is pointing them to a giant anchor, where they will find their next flight. Kisha/Jen team up with Zev/Justin and use a computer to google it. The race takes its toll on Mel/Mike, with the elderly father left exhausted, but vowing to continue.
Zev/Justin and Kisha/Jen reach the anchor and get themselves on the top of the flight list. Margie/Luke make it there alongside the Cheerleaders after a little googling of their own. Mallory and Christina find eachother and agree to work together, as they both haven't had much luck.
Soon, the Cowboys are the only team that are still dragging. After their woeful attempts at deciphering the compass they don't seem to be doing much better at finding the anchor either, but they do eventually get there - still in dead last. "We're just thankful to still be in the race" they say. And they're right, they got very lucky.
The flight carrying the first six contestants lands, and Kisha/Jen lead the way. Mike gets annoyed with their slow driving, but they get to the detour and must choose between spirit world or natural world. All the teams choose spirit world which involves creating a mosaic out of stones and then dancing on top of it.
With all the teams at the site, it stands to get crowded. Zev/Justin finish first. Kent/Vyxsin are done, but because they dance around the mosaic instead of on it, it takes them a while to get the all-clear. Only when they see Kisha/Jen do it do they get it right.
Ron/Christina start to fall behind, as more and more teams finish the task. Amanda/Kris finish ahead of them and get started on their second detour, making stencils by spitting out paint. This doesn't take them long at all and they've given themselves a great shot of staying in the race.
The teams find their next clue at a stadium, the home of the Magpies, which is to find a street corner using only a highlighted periodic table. Kent's love of chemistry means he's able to figure it out, and they team up with the Cheerleaders to look. To make it worse, the teams have to wear a kangaroo suit to do it...though Jaime/Cara still rock the outfit. Margie has a brief scare when she loses part of the costume and has to go back, but Zev/Justin find it and they're now part of the main pack.
Once they took off their ridiculous shoes, the teams drive themselves to the pit stop - and Zev/Justin claim first place. Flight Time/Big Easy are second, and in third come Jet/Cord, just ahead of Kisha/Jen. A huge improvement from the Cowboys! Margie/Luke come 5th, Mel/Mike come 6th, and Kent/Vyxsin are 7th. Jaime/Cara, the "good-looking kangaroos", finish next in 8th.
Mallory and Christina once again agree to team up, knowing they only have to beat one team and that Amanda/Kris are hot on their heels. Ron starts nagging his daughter and the two decide to break away from Gary/Mallory, after they're not convince she knows where she's going. They're wrong though, as Gary/Mallory beat them to the pit stop. Both teams survive however and it's Amanda/Kris that are eliminated. Terrible team, or unlucky team? Hard to argue with an early exit twice.
