The Challengers have to traverse a rope course over a river that may or may not be infested with jungle diseases. One Challenger dangles dangerously by her foot and barely survives. Also gas station food.

High drama as this episode starts with a Challenger threatening others with a machete. An early departure leads to a returning contestant. They play a weird game of checkers this time around. And drama rocks the women's team as they discover they may have a traitor in their team.

This Challenge requires contestants to sit with their butts and their feet on blocks of ice while also holding their arms above their head. A silly competition, but it does lead one Challenger to nearly get hypothermia. The men stick to their voting off approach, but the women make waves with their choice.

With the wedding out of the way, the Challengers resume the competition. This time is the super dangerous, no-one-try-this-at-home Challenge of climbing over some Saturn SUVs to collect some rings. There's some injuries, some DQs, and much drama from the girl's team as usual.

In beautiful Jamaica, our Challengers take some time off from competing and watch Puck and Betty get married. The women are not all thrilled about the festivities and decide to sit this one out, but everyone else seems to have a good time. A nice break from the typical competitions, just a celebration of love. Or something.

The teams take a deep breath before this challenge and stay underwater as long as possible. The men's strategy of eliminating players continues its success streak, and the women continue to struggle with the choice of who to eliminate.
