The teams wait in the town square for a Chasqui (mounted postman) to show up, and play with a stray dog while they do. Art/JJ express their distaste with Brendon/Rachel, who they feel are coattail riders. When the Chasqui shows up, Brendon rips a clue out of JJ's hands, fueling the rivalry further.
The teams can choose between making a solar kitchen or making a fire. The fire involves transporting supplies for a mile via a donkey, so most teams choose to assemble the kitchen. Only Art/JJ opt for the fire task, and on their way there, they pass all the other teams working on their solar kitchens, realizing they're behind. But they're optimistic of being able to catch up, as the sun isn't even fully out yet.
Joey/Danny struggle with their kitchen, and one of the guidos cuts himself. They ask for help from Kerri/Stacy, who are very accommodating. Dave/Cherie are also seeking help from Rachel/Dave, and then realize what they were doing wrong - they hadn't realized the instructions were on the box!
Most of the teams are now waiting for their pots to boil, and Bopper/Mark get it first. Art/JJ slog through the donkey work and sure enough, manage to finish 2nd. Just because a task is easier, doesn't mean it's faster.
Rachel/Dave and Brendon/Rachel get it next and end up on the first bus to Buenos Aires with the top two teams. Nary/Jamie and Kerri/Stacy are left behind on the last bus to depart. "Were just gonna hope their bus breaks down" laughs Nary.
Funnily enough, Nary gets her wish as a window on the second bus breaks, giving them a major delay. The four teams on board (Vanessa/Ralph, Elliot/Andrew, Joey/Danny and the clowns) are now at the back of the pack..although the four girls on the other bus don't realize this yet.
The next task is counting cows. Rachel ends up doing it for the Big Brother team, and quickly realizes she's going to struggle. The other Rachel ends up working with JJ and leaving first. Mark helps Rachel, and despite initially forgetting to round a number, they get it fairly quickly. Brendon/Rachel however have lost their taxi and Rachel starts crying when Brendon lashes out at her.
It's a tight race to the pit stop for 1st and Rachel/Dave manage to come out on top once again. Kerri/Stacy and Nary/Jamie arrive at the roadblock with no other team there. Kerri/Stacy finish narrowly ahead of Nary/Jamie, but both teams get a shock when Phil tells them they're much higher than they thought they were.
Vanessa wins the battle between the first four teams and happily declares "I don't suck at math". Joey and Andrew team up because they know the clown is struggling. The teams check in and Elliot/Andrew joyfully have a kickabout with the Maradona impersonator. Dave/Cherie are the last team to arrive and remain in good spirits despite being eliminated, doing cartwheels on the way out.
