Come Hell or High
Water: Stage 9 Ike shows his will power as he battled injury. Kari shows her iron fortitude as she battled illness. The Gypsies are just battling the rest of the pack to keep their lead. The California Girls were defeated by their own overthinking as they are evacuated in sixth place, leaving five teams. Avoid elimination in this stage... and you reach the final stage. First, though, you have No Limits & Gypsies vs. the Fab 3 & the Football Players. The Cops... they're on their own. Today's stage is one day long. Make your way to the river's edge. Choose a guide and a raft to carry you down the Ahansal River to the first checkpoint at the Mile Bridge. The Gypsies headstart will apply for three minutes. Remember... Be strong, work together, and never give up. Following them... Football Players & Fab 3. The rest of the teams follow suit. And the Football Players are tired of surf-and-turf. "Cancel Christmas." No Limits gets in the water first, but they're quickly making up time, arriving in third. The Cops get washed up by a rock and start taking in water... and getting passed by the Football player. The Cops are now 20 minutes behind the rest of the pack. Gypsies are in first when they find.... CHECKPOINT #1 - AHANSAL RIVER The riddle.. "Sometimes you pass by them and sometimes you go inside them. However, lately you have been spending a lot of them between them." Canyons? Cliffs? Banks? ... BANKS. Who'll find it first? The Gypsies... In with the provisions... the next instructions to the river banks and the next checkpoint. Second: the Fab 3... they help out the Football Players. The Gypsies... help out No Limits. The Gypsies pull ahead of Fab 3 again... and the camp is truly divided. The Football Players fall to last when the Cops pass them and land into second. Now the teams head into a part of the river that is locally known as... the Soup. Gypsies end up first with... CHECKPOINT #2 - THE SOUP They'll have to go up and over a mountain to the lakeshore, where you will get in a traditional Moroccan tin boat and paddle two miles to Rocky Beach, your next checkpoint. Ike's ankle continues to throb. Jeff and Erik may have to tell him not to push as much. Meanwhile, there's a life raft that's missing a hiker, if you follow. The Footballers pick it up, thinking that it belongs to the Fab 3... but it belongs to the Cops. This... is not good. For the Cops, as the Ballers throw the PFD back on the course. Classy. Gypsies are first to the boat, followed by Fab 3, the Football Players, No Limits, and the Cops in the back. Gypsies are the first to arrive at... CHECKPOINT #3 - ROCKY BEACH The Football Players hit a stride and pass the Cops and No Limits. After eight hours on the course, No Limits is forced to last. The Gypsies are still in first when they get... CHECKPOINT #4 - WIDOW'S LEDGE You're looking for a flower. All you have to do is get there... because you have to go through a bunch of narrow causeways to get there. And sure enough, the Gypsies find the instructions... "Find the Wheat Field, Find the finish." First, a swim. Then a climb... It's the Gypsies vs. the Fab 3 for the lead at this point. Back at the caves... it's a really tight points, and not just between the teams, but also between the caves. The Cops grab the pottery without thinking that they need to pull the instructions out of it beforehand. That may give No Limits the break they need. Meanwhile, the Cops are following the Footballers..... until they lose them. Back at the front... it's another foot race... FINISH LINE 9 Taking the three-spot... Football Players. One spot remains.... The Cops are flying blind, while No Limits are hindered by Ike's injury. No Limits head up a hill... just as the Cops are heading down. They lock on their position... and it's a race. It's a race that... NO LIMITS wins by a HAIR. The Cops did their best, but again, it comes down to one challenge. They hustled to the finish, but the extraction chopper awaits. You couldn't have scripted a better ending: two warring factions in the middle of Morocco fighting it out on the final stage for $150,000 and three Ford Explorers. But only one team can win it. The Expedition reaches its harrowing conclusion next time!
