[08:50 - 08:56]Choke points on the highway where teams are forced to be on the same road


[00:00 - 08:56]Two teams race through New Zealand's highway system, completing challenges and earning coins to spend on power-ups to sabotage their opponents. The first challenge is sandboarding down a 50-foot dune. Teams strategize on how to use their coins for power-ups and navigate choke points on the highway.


[08:57 - 09:04]Map diverges in many places, but comes back together at choke points


[09:04 - 09:11]Roads may have roadblocks


[09:11 - 09:16]Leaning towards saving money


[09:32 - 09:39]Decision at intersection is crucial


[09:40 - 09:46]East route is luck-based with three challenges and a shortcut

[08:57 - 17:56]Teams must make strategic decisions at various intersections, with one team taking the luck-based route and the other taking the longer but more reliable route. The first challenge involves constructing a sandwich from different stores/restaurants, while the second challenge involves digging a hole at Cooper's beach based on a roll of the die. Both teams face difficulties with their tasks, but ultimately must try to catch up to their opponents in order to win the game.
