When the Green Team finally finishes (and takes several shovels, thankfully), the Gold Team is already working on the fourth station. The clue is in Spanish, which is muy caliente! At least it is for Heat, who is the only person on this entire show who can speak Spanish. I thought he was fluent but it seems he knows a fifth-grade level of Español, since it takes him a superlong time to read the clue. He concludes their next key is underneath the clue box, so they collect it and read the next set of instructions. It tells them to return to the starting line and dig up their treasure chest. On they go! They're allowed to untie themselves once they reach the starting line, but they don't because...that would make things easy.

Back in the jungle, the Green Team reaches the fourth station and weeps like little babies. No one can speak a word of Spanish, but they conclude something about going to the bathroom, which is brilliant. The clue totally says to pop a squat and take a pee. Thanks, guys. The team neglects to use the dictionary they're holding, natch, but Saaphyri decides to kick the clue box over just for the hell of it. She once killed a man for similar reasons, it's what ya do! Her stupidity works well on this one occasion, so the team collects the key and dashes for the start. By "dashes," I mean trots along to sad clown music since Cali thinks they need to walk backwards to the start. Her team beats some sense into her and they plunder on, so we never get to see if they would've walked in the wrong direction for the rest of the show.

The Green Team chooses to untie themselves when they arrive at the dig site, but it seems like a lost cause since the Gold Team has already found the location of their treasure chest. It's buried deep though, so 20 Pack decides to use his brain - shocking but true! The group unties themselves and then hooks their rope onto the chest. They manage to heave it out in just a few seconds, so the Gold Team wins! Treasure for everyone! Heat weeps and prays like they just retrieved Baby Jesus himself.

As team captain, Prancer will decide who goes home. Hoorah! She celebrates, though not by rolling around on her Heelys, and that's Cali's cue to say she'll go in the box for the Green Team. Of course it's just because Prancer's her BFF, but whatever, it looks selfless. Arguing overshadows her moment of greatness however, because of course it does. Myammee and Saaphyri continue to bicker about the wording of that clue, which might as well have been in Mandarin for all the trouble they had interpreting it. Myammee insists she'll go back and retrieve it to prove her point, which would've saved a lot of trouble to begin with, really. It would've been nicer if Saaphyri did it though, since then she'd have an excuse for looking so rough.

It's a shame she probably customized her shirt to look like that. I can't wait for her inevitable fashion line! Anyway, Myammee goes back to fetch the clue and then is promptly punched in the face for being so wrong. That makes for a fun ride home!

At the house, Saaphyri parades around with the clue for no real reason. You'd think it would be to further stick it to Myammee, but then Saaphyri rushes to talk shit with her, so...never mind. They decide that Cali must've thrown the challenge since she's friends with Prancer, which is actually a plausible theory, incorrect as it is. Myammee is wise to go along with it, so she does so while loudly eating chips with Saaphyri. Hot.

Saaphyri takes this theory to be gospel, which is adorably egotistical. Also: ridiculous. Her plan is to tell everyone and get Cali eliminated for it, but if Prancer is captain, doesn't that seem futile? Like, for real? Saaphyri doesn't care, so she runs to tell the news to the whole damn house. She uses the word "cahoots" a lot though, so that's pretty happy-making.

The news disturbs the house, especially the members of the former Gold Team. They felt like they still had an alliance, but now Prancer is breaking it apart! Woe! Also woeful: Tailor Made seems to be ganking 20 Pack's injury, which is both sweet and queer.
