Day 18
The group has to divide in a resourceful group, a smart group and a stupid group. Kate and Charlie volunteer to be stupid. Steven and Kathryn are the resourceful team and finally Jim and Jennifer are the smart team. The teams have to find the hotel they will spend the night at. If they find it before 8.00 pm, they win $40,000. At least 2 of the groups have to get there on time. If a team doesn't make it on time, they'll have to find somewhere else to sleep. The stupid team is taken to the hotel immediately. The have a luxurious hotel and spend a great day.
Jim and Jennifer get a smart car with a tape and a cell phone. Kathryn and Steve have a broken down van with lots of stuff wrong with it. They also have a series of pictures that leads to the hotel. Steve seems to be stalling for time. He wants to wait for a mechanic to arrive there. Kathryn finds this highly suspiciopus. After a while they get on their way.
The smart team has to find the village idiot, who gives them a multiple choice question. Each answer leads to a different location. If they're correct they will see a village idiot with another question.
Meanwhile the stupid team is offered the opportunity to double the amount they can win in this challenge. they have to make sure the smart team doesn't arrive. But to double the money from $40,000 to $80,000, the resourceful team has to arrive on time. Kate and Charlie decide to go for it. They get a book to look up the answers for the smart team. If both teams eventually do show up on time, the stupid team has to sleep outside. Kate calls Jim and tells him she's there to help them. She looks up the answer, but gives the wrong answer to the smart team. The smart team goes to the wrong destination.
Meanwhile with the resourceful team, Steve asks Kathryn:"So if you were the Mole, how would you sabotage this? Hypothetically, of course." Kathryn:"I wouldn't know where to begin." Steve:"Me either." Kathryn sarcastically replies with a "Yeah right!". Their van breaks down and they continue on bicycle (Steve) and motor scooter (Kathryn).
The smart team realizes that they're in the wrong village.Jim calls KAte and tells her they're trying Utrera. This also is the wrong direction, but of course Kate doesn't tell him that. When the smart team arrives there, they find out too. An hour and 45 minutes left and Jim tells Kate they're going to the last option. Jim asks about the whereabouts of the hotel and Charlie says the only thing he sees are rolling hills. But there's lots of brochures in the room with the name of the hotel and the location.
Meanwhile Kathryn's motor scooter has run out of gas and they try to get some from the locals.A bit later they run out of gas again. But they decide to leave the motor scooter behind. Kathryn takes the bike and Steve runs next to her.
The smart team is still further away than the resourceful team and they're wondering whether they can trust the stupid team. The Stupid team in their turn is concerned that the resourceful team won't make it on time, so that they won't have any money at all. They decide to help Jim and Jennifer so they'll have at least $40,000. If the resourceful team eventually does arrive on time, Kate and Charlie'll have to spend the night outside. The smaart team arrives with 25 seconds to spare. The resourceful team is 3 minutes and 53 seconds late. They have to sleep in the smart car.
