Rob and Amber launch their raft. Uchenna and Joyce, too. Rob and Amber get to the other side first, and it turns out that the teams have to climb up quite a steep hill to the clue box, using a rope. Rob hits the clue box, scrambling monkey that he's always been, and immediately starts to scoot back down. "Don't fall on me," Amber says. Uchenna gets the clue, too, and then he starts back. Amber and Rob jump for their boat, and Amber takes a tumble onto her butt. "You all right?" Rob asks, showing the kind of reflexive reaction that proves he is no Jonathan, and she says she is. Rob and Amber and Uchenna and Joyce are in the water again, rafting away from the clue box, while Ron and Kelly are still trying to get their raft reformed so they can put it in the water to begin with. Ron asks Kelly to help, and she tries, but she can't, really, so he gets frustrated and tells her to stop, and she rather reasonably gets frustrated with his inability to decide whether he wants her to do anything or not. They're like a picture of What Not To Do, relationship-wise. As Rob and Amber land back on shore, he says, "My sneak-ah!" It turns out that Rob has lost a shoe, and has to get in the water and fish it out. As he stands in the water, Uchenna is coming in behind him, and yells a warning. "Watch out, Rob, watch out, buddy!" Somewhere, Lynn and Alex wonder why Uchenna didn't just run him over. Rob gets his shoe and hops out of the way, running up the beach with the sneaker in his hand. He and Amber open the clue that will lead them to the next pit stop. The clue lays out an 80-mile trip to Montego Bay, where they'll find a villa at Round Hill. Last team in may be out. But realistically? Probably not. Rob and Amber take off with Uchenna and Joyce not far behind.

Ron and Kelly raft for their clue at last. Maybe Ron will make a break for it.

Rob and Amber and Uchenna and Joyce both hop into taxis for the trip to the pit stop. Joyce urges their driver not to let Rob and Amber, now very slightly behind, pass him. He promises to do his best. Rob, for his part, just wants to stay right behind Uchenna and Joyce, hoping to sneak ahead of them at the last minute.

Ron runs up the hill for the pit stop clue, then comes back down. They cross the river and get their taxi to the pit stop. "We're in last," Ron laments from the back seat, but Kelly notes that their driver is flying, and she's hopeful that they can catch up. Up ahead, Rob and Amber's driver, Tyson, promises to take good care of them. He shouts ahead to Uchenna and Joyce's driver to pull in for gas. Both teams' drivers fill their taxis, but Uchenna and Joyce again get on the road first. Rob and Amber urge Tyson to get back in the cab and get going. Not only that, but Ron and Kelly now show up at the gas station, so Amber taps Rob on the leg urgently to tell him to tell Tyson that now, it's really time to get going. Tyson scoots, followed closely by Ron and Kelly. And it is a close race to the pit stop, at least so far. But remember, this trip was 80 miles. Probably at least an hour and a half, if not two hours.
