A Clue Beneath the Surface
The Expedition begins and both longboats row towards the Western tip of the island in search of the floating marker. The Black Crew sees the marker first and Ben immediately dives underwater to retrieve the bottle containing their first clue. Joe Don swims underwater for the Red Crew as the Black Crew breaks their bottle and examines the map inside.
Now armed with a map of the island, the crews must row to Skull's Point, where they must search the island for a cannon where two hidden ropes await them. Both longboats row to shore, with the Black Crew in the lead. As both crews run uphill on the island, Louie comments, "We're pretty hungry and we're pretty tired…I just felt like I was gonna pass out."
Both crews find the old cannon where two ropes hang over the side of a cliff. Everyone works together as they start to pull the line, which is tied to a barrel hanging at the end. As everyone pulls the barrel up the side of the cliff, Louie hopes the Red Crew can triumph. "This win means everything to me and I wanna take out the biggest threat to me," he explains. "And that's gonna be Az."
Neck and Neck
The Black Crew is the first to pull up their barrel. They learn they must solve a riddle by locating an X where the keys to the treasure are buried. Shortly after the Red Crew retrieves their barrel, Christa notices an X on the beach. When the Black Crew sees the Red Crew running toward the beach, they give up and decide to follow the Red Crew.
Both crews converge on the X at the same time and immediately start digging at its base, unearthing a pair of dials. They learn that they must locate a bunker on the island and use the dials to figure out the correct combination to unlock the bunker and uncover the treasure. The Red and Black Crews run up the beach, locating the bunker at the same time.
