Brazilian Pain Forest

'''Traveling to Brazil, the teams must traverse the jungles and show themselves off in order to make the next leg of the race. Two competitors end up in an unlikely alliance with two others that doesn't last while two racers go through the torture of immense pain. One tries to face down their own grief for a previous incident, leading to their partner to take full charge, but this ultimately leads to a penalty and a karma filled defeat.'''

Plot
The episode opens with the Goths departing from the Chill Zone as the teams must now travel to Brazil via airplane. The first eight teams take a direct flight, while the last seven are forced to fly with a two hour delay. Fortunately for the latter group, Dwayne accidentally leaves the remains of his broken fossil on the runway, bursting the plane's tire and causing a delay for the first flight. Meanwhile on the second flight, the plane is occupied by animals. Taylor is disgusted at having to travel with animals, threatening to quit the competition and kicking a goat. Her mother bribes her to stay by offering to buy her a new car. As the second flight lands in Brazil, the Adversity Twins experience lactose intolerance, due to being in close proximity to cows. The teams must now compete in a "Botch or Watch " in which they have to retrieve their next Travel Tip inside a mitten full of bullet ants.

The Vegans are the first to take on the Botch or Watch, however, Mickey accidentally pushes Laurie to which she lands face first into the mitt and gets bitten by the bullet ants. Her face swells up to hideous proportions and remains that way for the rest of the challenge. The teams must then find a way across a gorge, and search amongst the piles of coconuts to find their next travel tip. Back at the Botch or Watch challenge, Mickey gets intimidated by Taylor before Kitty steps in and defends him by telling her Mickey was there first. The Adversity Twins are grateful for this and give Kitty an extra travel tip. Emma disapproves of Kitty's friendly advances towards the twins and reminds her of their "no alliance" rule, but Kitty retaliates that Emma only acts this way due to being hung up from her boyfriend, Jake, breaking up with her. The Vegans face trouble after they are unable to get across the cliff and lose their lead, while some of the other teams are successful. The Rockers face no difficulty getting through the first challenge, because of Spud's delayed pain reaction.

The first plane finally arrives in Brazil and the Ice Dancers gain an early lead. The Police Cadets are unable to find the clue because of MacArthur refusing to let Sanders help in the challenge, despite her bloated hand. Sanders uses a mallet and manages to find the clue, despite MacArthur's wishes. As the teams from the first flight compete in the "Botch or Watch," Kelly takes charge for her team rather aggressively which helps strengthen her relationship with her daughter, but this doesn't last for long. Although the Vegans are finally able to climb back up the cliff, Laurie's hideousness provokes Taylor to throw a coconut at her, which sends her flying off the cliff again. While doing this, the coconut cracks, giving The Vegans' their next clue. A clumsy move from Spud helps The Rockers and Best Friends get across the cliff. The Daters, however, don't have the same luck.

The teams get started on the "All-In" crafting challenge. Kitty gets her sister to form an alliance with the Adversity Twins, albeit a trial one. The Surfer Dudes are the first team to complete their Brazilian costume and must now make their way to Copacabana beach, which will be the Chill Zone for this leg of the race. As the final teams begin wrapping up their coconut search for the clue, Father and Son compete against the Ice Dancers for a clue. Luckily for them, both manage to get one in the fight. With Miles taking control of the Vegan's team, they manage to make it to the Chill Zone. However, they find out they get a thirty minute penalty, because Miles sewed both parts of the costume. This leads the Ice Dancers to get first place. Josee is about to mock The Vegans for losing, but both she and Jacques get scared when they see Laurie's face.

As more teams glide across the finish line, The Sisters and Adversity Twins crash into one another and tie for seventh and eighth, with the Sisters terminating their temporary alliance. All seems well for The Vegans, before Spud's pain reaction begins to act up, which helps him and Rock cross the finish line at a quicker pace. This makes Laurie and Miles the last team to arrive, and they are cut from the competition. This leaves them visibly disappointed about not fulfilling their promise to help their causes.
