Notes: 1: By the time Alana & Niko found the Roadblock location, it was closed for the day and all the other teams had checked in. They were told to go directly to the Pit Stop, where they were eliminated. However, Alana elected to perform the Roadblock, and this is reflected in the total count. 2: During the last task, Chris fell from his camel and suffered several broken ribs. After all the other teams had checked in, Beau came out to the location where he was being medically treated to eliminate them. 3: Femi & Nick and Hayley & Mikayla received a 2-hour penalty for not completing the sand dune digging Route Marker task in the allotted 4 hours. Femi & Nick initially arrived in 5th. Viv & Joey checked in during their penalty time, dropping Femi & Nick to 6th. Hayley & Mikayla arrived in last and were eliminated without the penalty being assessed. 4: Sid & Ash initially arrived 2nd, but received a 1-hour penalty for speeding. 4 teams checked in during that time, dropping them to last place and resulting in their elimination. 5: All teams received a penalty of 1-minute corresponding to each question they collectively answered wrong on the pub quiz. The initial order of arrival and respective penalties are as follows: 1st: Viv & Joey (13 minutes), 2nd: Tom & Tyler (8 minutes), 3rd: Jasmin & Jerome (6 minutes), 4th: Tim & Rod (9 minutes), 5th: Femi & Nick (2 minutes). Femi & Nick were eliminated without their penalty being assessed. 6: Due to an unfavorable turn in wind conditions, Viv & Joey could not safely perform the tandem skydive. Their plane was landed and they received their next clue without penalty.
