African Lying Safari

'''The final five arrive in Tanzania for their next challenge. One person's obsession with another peaks, and two competitors continue to doubt their attraction towards one another. In the end, one person wins the challenge, and another is sent home after a close vote.'''

Recap
The episode starts with Duncan revels in Courtney's departure, then comments on Alejandro and Heather's mutual crush stated by Blaineley in China. Both try to deny it, but end up speaking in unison, making them seem like a couple all the more. Sierra has started feeding Cody her love-me tea, causing him to go into a weakened state.

Outside, Chris welcomes them to Tanzania, home to the Serengeti. Sierra arrives late, carrying Cody in her backpack. She declares that she will be playing for herself and her "husband." Chris introduces the first challenge, which he named "Soc-it To Me." He also points out Chef's punishment: wearing a parka and pants in balmy African heat. Contestants have to run to a pile of plums and return while avoiding the soccer balls kicked by the competitors. Only Alejandro makes it through unharmed. The plums are then used to smash gourds, which Heather wins. As a reward, she gets six tranquilizer balls for the hunt. Alejandro, smashing his gourd after Heather, gets three balls. Duncan only gets two balls, since he uses the bat instead of the plums. Sierra and Cody, failing to smash their gourds, only get one ball each and no slingshot to hurl them with.

The balls are used to knock out Ezekiel, who was found in the hold after Blaineley ratted him out. The person who hunts him down wins invincibility. Sierra manages to build her own slingshot from a stray stick and Cody's spare underpants. Duncan suggests to Alejandro and Heather they team up to hunt, but Heather decides to go alone. This is a mistake as Alejandro steals all her ammo. This is a problem, as she soon comes across a lion.

Alejandro and Duncan walk into a quicksand bog, slowly sinking into it. They manage to get out with Ezekiel's help, but he runs away before either could get a clear shot with their slingshot. Sierra shoots some rocks to lure Zeke out, but angers a rhino and flees. She trips, launching Cody into a tree. Heather bumps into Sierra, offering to team up and help Cody down from the tree. However, a baboon grabs him and runs off.

The girls and boys start charging at each other, accidentally knocking each other out. Chris chooses this time to make the contestants sing, but they are still a bit stunned. This doesn't stop them from singing "Wake Up". At the end, Chris warns that they have just one hour to catch Ezekiel, or the plane is leaving without them.

Duncan tries to make an alliance with Sierra, but she only wants to ally with Cody. Meanwhile, Heather and Alejandro plan on how to get rid of Duncan and win the competition at the same time. Sierra runs off on her own, finding Cody held by four baboons. Cody has recovered from the drugging, warning Sierra that the primate really likes him. Sierra beats up the baboons and rescues Cody.

Heather and Alejandro put their plan into action. Heather asks Duncan about Gwen, which distracts him enough for Alejandro to trip him. Duncan smashes into Serengeti Blood Berries, and goes to a watering hole to wash up. Ezekiel leaps out of the water and beats on Duncan. Alejandro, being the only one left with ammo, easily knocks out both Ezekiel and Duncan, winning the challenge. Chris tries to leave Ezekiel behind, but he manages to break his way back into the plane before the plane leaves.

At the voting ceremony, Duncan gets voted off, which he saw as expected. He gets tossed out without much of a good-bye. Alejandro, considering who to bring up to first class with him, chooses Cody, surprising everyone. This angers Heather, which she tells in her confessional. Chris then barges in on Heather's confession and signs off.

Cast
