Welcome MoJo, you are team number three. They give a happy little hop.

Fran and Barry arrive at the waterfall, followed by Lake and Michelle. Fran starts up on the ascender, but she immediately has trouble operating it. I still don't understand how those things work, really (don't email me!), but the only person I've ever seen look entirely comfortable on one was Colin, which doesn't make me think they do a good job of measuring any skill that would mean anything to me. Fran complains that she isn't getting anywhere and isn't picking up how to do it, as Barry looks at the ground.

Commercials. I really don't think toothbrushes form societies this complex.

Back at the climb, Lake and Barry encourage their respective wives. Fran seems to at least get enough of the hang of it to move somewhat. Michelle finishes, and Lake starts up. Fran does get there before Lake, so it doesn't look like they lost all that much time by taking this Detour, although I still think it's the wrong one for them, and their logic in choosing it was sort of ridiculous. Lake and Michelle get their clue and head for the pit stop.

Dave and Lori are approaching the pit stop. Welcome, Dave and Lori, you are team number four. Welcome, Ray and Yolanda, you are team number five. Ray and Yolanda are not all that happy about this, but they recognize it as better than how they did last time. Wanda and Desiree arrive next, and they're very worried about their position, on account of having gotten lost. As soon as she jumps onto the mat, Wanda looks at Phil, points with both hands, and says, "Smile to us." He tells them they are team number six, and this is very, very good news to them. Desiree first covers her mouth, and then she sort of demurely puts her hand over her heart and says, "Phil." Adorable. There's a way to love Phil without molesting Phil, and that's the way it should be done.

Danielle and Dani arrive at the waterfall as Barry is on his way up. Danielle immediately passes Barry, but he does finish not long after she does. Fran and Barry get their pit stop clue and leave.
