On the third leg of the All-Stars race around the world, teams made their way from Guangzhou, China, to Sabah, Malaysian Borneo in the town of Kota Kinabalu.Only two flights were available from China--the first six teams to get there would get on a flight that arrived three hours earlier than the back three teams. The first flight had Dave & Connor, Margie & Luke, Jet & Cord, Flight Time & Big Easy, Jen & Caroline and Leo & Jamal, with Rachel & Brendon, Joey & Megan and Jessica & John bringing up the rear on the second flight.
Once in Malaysia, teams encountered a roadblock at Kionsom Waterfall, where they would have to pick up a Travelocity gnome and rappel 10 stories down the waterfall.
After the roadblock, teams made their way to Kampung Tpompinhatan, and looked for the river. Once there, they encountered a Detour. Teams had to first construct a raft and brave some dangerous rapids to find their detour locations.
In “River Delivery” teams had to transport goods to a village. Dave & Connor, Margie & Luke, Jet & Cord and Leo & Jamal all chose this one. Dave and Connor went past the drop-off location and wound up at the other option, but chose to walk from there to make their delivery.
In “Jungle Run” teams had t jin a hunting safari and use a blow dart to take down a fake target bird. Caroline & Jennifer, Flight Time & Big Easy, Jessica & John, Rachel & Brendon and Joey & Megan chose this one.
During the detours, several of the teams encountered problems with their rafts as the rapids got stronger--either getting stuck on rocks, or their rafts falling apart.
After completing the detour, teams headed to the Tanjun Aru Water Village for the pit stop. Despite messing up during the detour, Dave and Connor came in first, winning a trip for two to Budapest, Hungary.
Following behind them were Jet and Cord in secnd, Leo and Jamal in third, Margie and Luke in fourth, Fight Time and Big Easy in fifth, and Caroline and Jennifer in sixth. John and Jessica placed in seventh.
Rachel and Brendon’s raft problems set them back, but they managed to place eighth, eliminating Megan and Joey, who encountered both raft problems and taxi issues after the Roadblock.
