Back at the empanada contest, the increasingly crabby Art and JJ finally finish the task and make it to the mat in fourth place. Nary and Jamie are the fourth team to finish the leg, Vanessa and Ralph are team number five, and Elliot and Andrew are team number six. That'll do it for the first flight to Salta.

Bopper and Mark arrive at the Patios in seventh place and watch the demonstration carefully. Dave and Cherie arrive in eighth, pulling their rolling backpacks along. Team Jersey shows up in ninth place, and Kerri and Stacy in tenth. Inside, Team Kentucky is already at work, and Bopper informs us this is "the first time I have ever made a piñata." Mark tries to correct him, but when he can't come up with the word empanada, he concedes, "Call it whatever you want to. I don't know neither." Team Jersey is struggling, as Danny says he always eats out and never cooks. Full of surprises, these guys! The golfing sisters are the last to arrive at the front gate, and for some reason they decide to leave their bags in the car. A sound effect foreshadows that they will live to regret this. Clown Dave confesses that he doesn't usually have a lot of time to cook. "He's a good microwaver," Cherie points out supportively. Stacy remarks that of the five teams currently there, only four of them will go on. Misa compares the empanadas to the Japanese wontons she and her sister often make. In Hawaii, according to Bopper. Fitness remarks on the tough day Danny's having: "From stick to cooking." And that's enough to trigger the last dramatic ad break of the night.
