Meghan & Cheyne were the first to depart and headed toward the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club for their next clue. The clue instructed them to row an inflatable dinghy to a yacht to meet a sheikh who would give them a watch, per traditional Arab custom. The time on the watch would be the combination to open the briefcase they chose before departing for the Yacht Club. Inside the briefcase was their next clue.
Meghan & Cheyne rowed to the yacht and back before any of the other teams caught up with them. And they were smart enough to realize that the time on the watch was the combination, so they lost no time finding their next clue in the briefcase, instructing them to head to Abra Station, a water taxi station.
The next eam to arrive was Brian & Ericka and they should maintain a pretty good lead over the other teams, especially since the Globetrotters arrived at the wrong Yacht Club! So, father-son team Gary & Matt were able to move ahead a bit with the absense of the Globetrotters. And when they got their, Big Easy couldn't figure out how to row the boat!! Instead of using the oars, he decideed just to use his oversized arms! Too bad he couldn't figure out the combination and I felt so bad for him! In fact, all of the teams made it out before them.
Upon arriving at Abra station, the teams faced their first detour: Gold or Glass. In Gold, the teams would need to weigh out exactly $500,000 worth of gold by paying attention to the exchange rate, which is constantly changing every few seconds. In Glass, the teams would need to assemble 12 hookahs from a crate. Meghan & Cheyne chose the Glass challenge. While Meghan was struggling with the Hookah's, Brian & Erika headed to the Gold station and realized that the challenge seemed harder than it looked. This detour seemed to get all of the teams in a panic, causing Brian & Erika to change their plan and go with Glass.
At the Gold station, the math skills of Maria & Tiffany combined with Dan & Sam's calculator caused them to easily pass through the round and head to the Atlantis Palm Resort for their next challenge. They had to go down the large waterslide at nearly a 90˚ angle and travel through a tube that went through a shark tank. After making it down the slide, the teams had to race to Dolphin Bay Beach for the Pit Stop.
After nearly 3 different attempts, Brian & Erika finally completed the Hookah challenge and made it the Pit Stop behind Meghan & Cheyne (who made it first), Maria & Tiffay, and Sam & Dan. Arriving 6th a the water slide, Mika & Canaan met their worst challenge yet. Mika is afraid of both water and heights so this was literally this worst challenge for her. Now, I do think that she was being a little childish and she had to wear some water floaties, Canaan was acting very rude to her. He actually tried to throw her down the slide! It was horrible and I bet her parents and fmaily and not going to be too hard to see that little skirmish on TV!
Once the Globetrotters arrived at the slide, Mika & Canaan had 2 minutes to complete the challenge and the time passed. So, the Globetrotters, who didn't help matters by making Mika more afraid, made it down first. Mika decided not to complete the challenge and they were the last team to arrive, thus being eliminated. Hmm, not sure how that relationship is going to pan out after the show!
