Maori or Less

'''The nine remaining teams partake in a New Zealand challenge involving either an intimidating jump or an intimidating Maori dance. One racer takes bad advice from someone to relate to another, while someone's emotions lead to major problems for their partner during the challenge. Two contestants' infatuation with one another ends up distracting them from their cause; leading someone to intervene and make them concentrate on the contest. This causes the heartbreak, but thankfully non-elimination, of an experienced team.'''

Plot
The teams must now visit the lush mountains of New Zealand and take a train to a junction to find their next clue. Despite being among the first four teams, father and son are unable to catch the first train due to Dwayne tiring down. While on the way to the train station, Emma and Noah have a moment and try to kiss, but get interrupted by the Surfer Dudes. Getting close to Noah causes Emma to lose her focus from the game again. As the first train arrives at the junction, the racers must now take part in an Either/Or which involves either bungee jumping off a cliff and catching a fish, or performing a traditional Maori dance.

While on the way to the junction, Junior gets along with the Surfers, making his father feel lonely, and leads him to try and get advice from Brody. Meanwhile, Emma gets carried away with thinking about Noah, forcing Kitty to snap her attention back into the game. Meanwhile, Carrie still has to deal with Devin going through the Stages of Grief from being dumped with Shelley, having reached the anger stage. She tries to calm him down, only to have their romantic moment get interrupted by the train picking up speed. Reaching the challenge area, the Ice Dancers are able to complete the dance with ease, due to their familiarity with dancing and are the first to arrive at the Chill Zone. They arrive so early that Don is still in make-up. Meanwhile, Stephanie manages to trick Ryan into bungee jumping off the cliff, only for him to use reverse psychology and trick her himself.

The second train arrives at the junction where the sisters and Reality TV Pros argue over which challenge to pick, with Kitty quickly agreeing to bungee jump after seeing that the third train had arrived. As more teams complete the challenge, Devin's anger helps him perform the Maori dance, giving himself and Carrie second place while the cadets get third, which angers them after learning that the ice dancers came in before them. Dwayne tries to follow Brody's advice and act cool but this makes him and his son fall behind the other teams, leading to his son yelling at him, helping them complete the challenge.

Kitty gives Emma a pep talk about her obsession with Noah, making her realize her mistake and promises to keep her focus on the game from now on. The Reality TV Pros are the last to arrive and to make matters worse, Emma puts her relationship with Noah on hold for the game, which puts him into a heartbroken-cataonic state, leading to Owen having to cheer him up. Don reveals that it was a non-elimination round. In an attempt to impress his son, Dwayne gets a tattoo, only for Junior to reveal that it was a women's tattoo much to his embarrassment.
