Chinese Fake-Out

'''The final seven go to China for a visit to the Great Wall. Tension continues between four contestants, and a different contestant plans to establish the connection between themselves and another. One new contestant allies with a staff member, but in the end, she is voted off along with another due to the show's budget problems.'''

Recap
The episode starts with Duncan greeting Courtney in first class and trying to make peace with her, only to find that she's giving him the silent treatment. In the confessional, Duncan says that he doesn't mind the silence but really needs Courtney as an extra ally. Courtney, in response to Duncan's smooth-talking, shoves him head-first into the wedding cake and walks away triumphantly munching a slice of cake. Over the plane's PA system, Blaineley advertises the opportunity for the contestants to make an alliance with her and remembering Chef helping DJ last season, suggests a TV deal to Chef if he helps her. Cody mopes about the fact that Sierra thinks the two of them are married now due to what happened last episode. Alejandro sides with Sierra, but Heather, needing Cody for an alliance, tries to help Cody out by telling him that being forthright with Sierra will get her to back off for good.

The contestants are lined up in front of the Great Wall of China. Chris gets as far as saying the contestants must race along the wall before he is interrupted by a cell-phone call. The contestants race off after they misinterpret a signal, missing out on vital information about the challenge. Chris lets them go figuring this will just make things more interesting. Each contestant grabs a different mode of transportation to help them on their journey: Blaineley sits in the rickshaw and relaxes, Duncan rides the bicycle thinking he has an advantage, Alejandro uses the skateboard and proclaims in the confessional how he was in the South American skate olympics, Courtney pedals the tricycle running over Heather's foot in the process, Cody mounts the donkey with the aid of pogo-sticking Sierra, and Heather is stuck with traditional Chinese wooden sandals. Duncan and Alejandro race neck and neck down the wall, until Duncan hits a boobytrap mine. Cody finds his donkey stubbornly not moving, while Sierra hops behind and around him. He tries to "break up" with her, but she focuses on the fact that he said he liked her. Sighing, he spurs on the donkey, who accidentally kicks Sierra off the Great Wall of China and through the roof of a Chinese tea store. After telling her sad story to the shop owner, Sierra is given a bag of Love-Me Tea; the more of it she drinks, the more Cody will love her.

Courtney gets the tricycle's wheel stuck in a crack of the wall, and Alejandro suggests to Duncan that they should stop and help her. Duncan, however, thinks it'd be fun to watch her struggle for a while, but Alejandro is thinking she might help him in return, so he helps her. Once she is free, she does offer to return the favor later. The three of them race off for the finish line, but Courtney hits another boobytrap and goes flying backwards past Chris in a helicopter. Alejandro and Duncan cross the finish line at almost the same time, only to learn there is no prize for first place. Cody and Heather finish shortly afterwards, and Blaineley "somehow" got to the finish line before all of them. Chris is about to ring the gong, signaling the race is over, when Sierra just makes it across the finish line making Courtney ineligible to compete in the next half of the challenge.

In the Chinese restaurant, the contestants learn that they will be served local dishes - the grossest Chris can find. Alejandro, having a weak stomach, turns to already-eliminated Courtney for help in the challenge. Blaineley, being allied with Chef, is served slightly different food than the other contestants. Throughout the challenge, the contestants have to sing a song. Cody is eliminated when he thinks that the donkey meat served first is his new friend Ace the donkey. Heather is then eliminated when she finishes the next food item last. Then Duncan is eliminated when Sierra beats him in finishing a starfish. Blaineley, Alejandro, and Sierra are the only contestants left in the challenge. At this point, Heather raises a protest that both Blaineley and Alejandro are cheating and that Blaineley has been served normal food, while Alejandro kept bending down during each meal, prompting Duncan to point out Courtney chewing after every round. To mollify her, Chris has Sierra and Blaineley switch bowls of food and makes Courtney wear a large mask to prove that she can keep her mouth shut. Both cheaters can't stomach the thought of eating the gross dish and vomit before they even taste the dish, while Sierra finishes her bowl, winning invincibility and the opportunity to take Cody with her to first class.

The result of the votes are in, and they are split evenly between Courtney and Blaineley (with Cody voting for Sierra, despite her immunity). Courtney is confident she can take Blaineley in a tie-breaker, since she is an expert in tie-breakers, but since he'd been getting calls from the producers, hounding him about the budget, he just gets rid of both of them instead. Courtney once again promises to sue the show, adding a lawsuit against Duncan for defamation. Blaineley, meanwhile, spills information about all the remaining contestants: Ezekiel is still hiding on the plane, Cody votes for Sierra every time they are at a Barf Bag Ceremony, Heather and Alejandro have an obvious crush on each other, and that she was first pick over Chris to host the show. She might have said more, but Chris pushes both contestants off the plane at this point.

Up in first class, Sierra splashes the tea over herself, which makes Cody light-headed. Sierra diagnoses it as an allergic reaction and jabs him with an epipen. Up in the cockpit, Chris discusses with Chef the serious ramifications of Blaineley's actions, though it was not her alliance with Chef, but that Chris was second-pick that annoyed Chris the most. Chef, looking nervous, quickly assures Chris it was false and Chris was a better host. With this thought weighing on his mind, he signs off the episode, to Chef's approval.

Cast

 * A Chinese woman had lines, however, it is unknown who voiced her.
 * Ezekiel also makes another cameo, trying to steal some of Courtney's wedding cake, but has no lines.
