We come back to a replay of the last moments before the jump. They land in the water with no incident. Jeff calls out to Erik in the water so they can reunite and probably give each other some loving. It's beautiful really. Jeff hoots and hollers as they exit the water. Somewhat Limited remains in third after the jump. The remaining teams all choose to jump without hesitation. The competition is too tight today on a single-day course for any of them to take chances. Of note here: AJ doesn't give his team a say at all in the matter once they find out they have an option between jumping or wading, and Gus of Finding Nino holds up his team briefly because he's afraid to jump. They end up making the jump anyway, but still find themselves in last place.
Akbar's Players reach the next set of instructions. Teams must zip-line over the river. There's really not much to zip-lining. Kind of a controlled fall, really. Robert goes first for the football players. As Akbar prepares to go next, The Moustaches catches up to them. It's, "Here we go again," Akbar says in TH. After the zip-line, teams have to choose a set of locked paddles with a symbol of an animal next to each set. They'll have to have one team member memorize the symbol before swimming to a nearby cave which houses keys for the paddle sets with matching animal symbols. Robert sets off for the Players without really knowing what to look for. Akbar calls after him to look for the monkey symbol and does his best impression of a monkey in case Robert didn't hear him. The Moustaches' Eric sets off after the snake symbol key.
Back at the zip-line, Somewhat Limited is slowed a bit because Erik has to do it with his pole outstretched in front of him so he won't run into a rock. It stops his momentum early and he has to go hand-over-hand to make the final few feet of the line. Eric arrives at the cave first for The Moustaches, looking for the snake symbol. To his surprise, the instructions left out the fact there would be four different versions of each animal symbol, each facing a different way. Thinking quickly, Eric leaves the cave to see if his teammates can still hear him if he calls out from where he is. He verifies the direction the snake needs to be facing. Football Player Robert has to do the same. The S.W.A.T. has now arrived at this challenge and Rob volunteers to make the swim to the cave. Behind them, it's Somewhat Limited, Rednecks and Valley Girls. Moutaches unlock their paddles first, closely followed by Akbar's Players.
