Leo & Jamal return to the tea shop, put their costumes back on, and recommence their original Detour choice after that little scouting mission. But they still think they have a good shot at completing the Detour before all the other teams do. "Their makeup looked horrible," Jamal says, not inaccurately. He reminds Leo to look for something with two handles, as an Amazing Cameraman zooms in on a pair to remind us at home just what that might look like. Jamal starts hunting through the bushes with his hands, criticizing Leo's hunting technique. Leo doesn't think the handles would be sticking out the top because they'd fall down, but the Amazing Cameraman shows us that's exactly how they are. It's amazing how often this team screws itself with overthinking, given that their strongest suit isn't even regular thinking.
Nicole continues to struggle with keeping Travis' face-decals in place, while Tim quietly remarks to Marie that Travis looks like Dennis Rodman. Watching from across the room as Nicole & Travis ask the beautician to check their work, Tim & Marie don't think that's going to cut it. "If it is, I'm going to kill myself," Marie says. She'd better hope the beautician didn't hear that and hasn't been watching her all season. Lucky for her, the beautician regretfully gives the ER docs a no, even as one of Travis's stickers peels off right in front of him. Nicole & Travis go back to work (mostly Nicole), and when Tim & Marie ask for a check, they aren't up to snuff either. "Now what? What's on my nose?" Marie demands. "Clean it." The ER docs get another check, and are still not good enough. Neither are the exes, again, and Tim realizes that some of Marie's face-jewels are missing. So she has to get on the floor to crawl around looking for them. Surprisingly, this does not turn into a Bridezilla moment.
Still made up and bewigged, Jason & Amy arrive in their cab at the waterfall's parking lot, and start making their way down the steps. Amy is hoping aloud for their first number-one finish. They present themselves at the mat in front of Phil and a party of five tea-cutters who welcome them to Bandung. Phil looks at them and says, "I don't know what to say." Jason just grins at him through his painted-on mask. Phil tells them he's glad they dressed up, because they've finally won a leg of the race and have won a trip to Cancun. Amy interviews that this proves they're the strongest team here. They're definitely one of the top three.
