In one of those sequences you know you wouldn't be seeing if it weren't about to be important, Gerard asks the boat pilot whether they can leave their bags on the boat. "Ya, ya," he says indifferently. Meanwhile, Jill and John Vito unhappily peer out from the shore to see the other teams in the boat, making their way to the rock. On the boat, there is more luggage talk. Derek opines that the boat pilot will clearly wait for them until they're ready to get back on the boat, while Zach supposes that there's no way they're going to need their bags anyway, so there doesn't seem to be any reason to take your bag with you. Gorgeous falls footage goes by as we contemplate this obviously bad decision.

Back at the dock, Jill and John Vito board Little Boat Two. Just as they take off, Little Boat One lands at the rock, and the four lead teams hop out, leaving their bags on the boat. They start the steep climb to the top, with Ian griping that he doesn't understand why people have to run. After all, it's not like it's some kind of a race.

Back at the dock, mournful music plays as Little Boat One -- which has at least one camera guy on it, evidently -- backs away, carrying everyone's bags. Up at the top of the stairs, Zach approaches the flag, unaware of the bad news below. Over on Little Boat Two, which is on its way across the water, Jill is noticing that Little Boat One has left without the teams it brought. I'm not sure she knows yet that they all left their bags; she just seems to be reacting to the fact that the boat doesn't stay and wait for you as a matter of routine. Back up at the route marker, Ken and Gerard grab their clue, while on Little Boat Two, Jill asks the boat guy if he'll wait while John Vito runs up and gets the clue, provided Jill stays on the boat with him. He agrees. There have been a lot of questions, incidentally, about whether it was a rules violation for them not to both climb up to the top, but Team Guido told us on the forums that the rules don't require you to both go all the way to the clue. They require you to read the clue together, but not necessarily fetch it together. (Thanks, Team Guido!)
