Teams must take a marked boat back to Kota Kinabalu Boat Jetty, then take a taxi to the Poring Hot Springs, where they must follow a marked path along a series of tree bridges to their next clue.

Teams must drive themselves to the Trushidup Palm Oil Plantation, where they would find their next clue.

The Fast Forward instructions were given to teams at the Poring Hot Springs. Teams must drive themselves to the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, where they must hike into the jungle and each feed two pieces of fruit to orangutans to claim the Fast Forward pass. Reichen & Chip won the Fast Forward.

Choice A: Chop
Teams must use provided tools to knock down palm nut bunches from a tree, each with an envelope attached, to retrieve their next clue. For every one envelope with a clue inside, there are three that are empty.

Only Kelly & Jon chose this task.

Choice B: Haul
Teams must pick up 25 palm nut bunches from a pile, then use a provided wheelbarrow to transport them to a marked truck. Once they have loaded the truck 25 palm nut bunches, it will drive away, revealing their next clue.

David & Jeff, Jon & Al, and Millie & Chuck chose this task.

Teams must drive themselves to the Gomantong Caves, where they would find their next clue.

"It's time for the 'ladder' part of the Race."

The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must put on a harness, then climb up a rattan ladder 50 feet inside of the cave. At the top, they must balance atop a shaky wooden platform to retrieve their next clue from inside of a basket hanging underneath, then climb back down. Only two stations are available at a time.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

• David & Jeff
• Jon & Al
• Kelly & Jon
• Millie & Chuck

Teams must drive themselves to Sepilok Nature Resort to check in. For coming in first place, Reichen & Chip won a vacation to Latin America, provided by American Airlines Vacations.
