As Kris & Jon headed to the bus station, Hayden confronted and ultimately conquered her fear of heights. On her triumph, a teary Hayden said, "You gotta get over your fears. The only way to do it is by doing them." The dating actors, as well Lori & Bolo, completed the task and took the first bus with Kris & Jon to Kandy.
Meanwhile, Freddy & Kendra, relying on the speed of elephants to complete their task, now fell to fourth place. However, they weren't concerned with the time spent playing polo because they wanted the once-in-a-lifetime adventure this option offered. Their enjoyment of the elephants came with a price, because they had to settle for the second bus to Kandy.
A NEW LEASE
Adam & Rebecca, behind by over an hour, finally arrived in Galle and traveled to the plantation to climb coconut trees. While the pair completed the task in short order, Rebecca summed up her thoughts while boarding the third bus to Kandy: "Today's been a rough day, and I'm assuming we're done with the game." However, her assumption proved false when she and Adam discovered all the Teams waiting for the Kandyan Art Association to open the following morning at 8:30. On their good fortune, Rebecca commented, "We're still in it, and tomorrow's a new day. I'm feeling strong."
The following morning at 8:30, the Teams hurried into the art association to purchase rice for the temple. While some Teams hesitated in finding the Temple of the Tooth, Lori & Bolo led the way once again, first to receive their clue and a blessing from the monk after making their offering. Opening it, the pair discovered they had to travel by bus almost 50 miles to the city of Dambulla. Once there, Teams needed to take a tuk tuk to the ancient city of Sigiriya and locate the dominating granite peak known as Lion's Rock to find their next clue.
ROADBLOCK: REACHING NEW HEIGHTS
With all five Teams arriving together in Dambulla on two separate buses, Kris & Jon took an early lead in their tuk tuk en route to Lion's Rock while Adam & Rebecca fell to last place when their driver stopped for gas. Arriving at Lion's Gate in first place, Kris & Jon opened their clue to discover a Roadblock. In this Roadblock, one Team member must climb over 1,000 steps to the top of Lion's Rock. Next, using binoculars to scan the jungle from the vantage point 600 feet above the ground, they must spot a flag, descend Lion's Rock an with their partner, find the flag, swim the length of the pool next to it, and check in at the Pit Stop.
