Mediterranean Homesick Blues

'''The teams travel to the south of France where they must fight sharks and build sandcastles before racing to their next stop in Iceland. Someone tries hard to prove himself to another and succeeds, even though they end up penalized from taking total victory giving it to another team. While a duo with tiny brains go through much to fight to survive, a duo with the biggest brains overcalculate their means and end up stranded in defeat.'''

Plot
The episode starts with the Ice Dancers, arriving at the start of the leg in first position, even though it is actually the Police Cadets' turn to start. MacArthur vows to keep a closer eye on the Ice Dancers as she does not trust them. Don explains that the teams will go to the fine beaches of Calanque de Maubois. In order to get there, teams must take a train to Calanque de Maubois.

As the first small group of teams leave, the Best Friend's tip are stolen by a mime. As Devin tries to take it back, Junior develops a love interest on Carrie, but his efforts to talk to her are ruined by Dwayne who embarrasses him.

Teams try many ways to reach to the train station. The Police Cadets assaults a taxi driver in order to arrive to the train stations. Geoff and Brody reveals their plan to follow anyone that is smarter than them, which happens to be everyone.

The first set of teams that manage to arrive discover that the next "Botch or Watch" is to snag their next tip from the fins of sharks. Brody claims to be a great swimmer and joins other team individuals to snag the clue.

Meanwhile, the Fashion Bloggers arrive by a yacht from the Prince of Monaco. As some teams manage to complete the Botch or Watch, they would now have to build a sandcastle. For those still trying to snag the tip from the sharks, Mary uses a magnet to scare away the sharks. During the sandcastle building challenge, Junior confesses that he was worried before he saw Dwayne giving his best shot at the challenges.

The Geniuses attempt to write down their plans for building a great sandcastle. Dwayne and Junior are soon later the first team to finish building the sandcastle and head to the jet boats to ride to Iceland where the Carpet of Completion is. The two are later the first to arrive to the Carpet but face a penalty after Dwayne read the tip before heading to Junior.

Meanwhile, with most of the teams now heading to the Chill Zone, the Geniuses finally finish writing their data plans but it is completely wiped away from the ocean water. Jacques and Josee receive first place.
