CHAMPIONSHIP STAGE:
OC (4:15 PM): Travel to the Twin Towers in Honolulu.
Clue #2: Ascend & rappel down said 45-story towers.
Art & J.J. GET LOST & fall to third place at the time; they had led quite a bit of the previous stage. Thus, Team "Big Brother" is in second.
ROADBLOCK #11: At the Sand Island State Recreation Area, at least 14 quarts of ice have to be shaved & put in a container so that it reaches that red line. Bald-headed Taylor Wiley's standing by to give them their next clue upon completion.
Doing It: Brendon, Dave & J.J.
Clue #4: Take a helicopter to a beach. Then, half of each team has to drive a WaveRunner through a turbulent surf & the other half will be towed on a sled. As soon as they rescue a distressed swimmer & they all make it back to shore, they can continue racing.
Clue #5: Take all belongings & release the taxi at the Coral Kingdom Gate within Hakipu'u Valley.
Next Task: Ride a stand-up paddleboard across the fishpond to the designated deck.
LAST ROADBLOCK: First, they need to ride down a 150-foot hill on a halua (60-mph sled) across the designated line. Finally, they have to pick up a ulamika (a disc-shaped lava rock warriors used to break their opponents' ankles) & roll it 50 ft. into a goal in order to receive their final clue.
By this time, Art & J.J. are back in front of the pack.
$1M CLUE: Arrive at a Secret Island.
The Browns arrive at the finish mat WAY TOO EARLY- THAT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT'S HAPPENED IN A $1M STAGE. In fact, they didn't even see their final Roadblock location prior to realizing their mistake. On the other hand, Art has the WORST time w/ that halua. When the dust has settled, has their final mistake ultimately caused The Browns to make "Race" history the wrong way?...
...NO- THEY'RE THE NEW ALL-TIME "RACE" CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Art & J.J., who looked like they were going to be in that prestigious role early on instead of Dave & Rachel, are the official runners-up.
