Oh, — the infinity pool. — This is where I feel like um — Come on, Daryl. — Get your coconut. — [cheering] — Challenge two location is on the edge of a waterfall. — We were told this challenge demanded trust. — All right, you guys. Today's challenge is all about trust. — I'm the first one picked for red — and I'm the first one to repel down. — So, let's find you. — And to make matters worse, — we'll be completely blind the entire time.

We had enough — big rock right here. Can you hold down boulders coming up? — Hey, barrier. There's a big push in front. You can take those. — Oh my god. After being blindfolded for hours, it felt good to finally see again. — But we couldn't stop to take in all the beauty surrounding us. We had to catch up. — There's a blue flag right here. — My adrenaline kept me going, pushing through. For a second, I forgot about the pain in my leg. — Shoot. — Are you okay? [panting] Oh. Oh. — Is it like pain or just blood? — Let's just say it's just blood. — All things him. — God is on your side. You got it. The pain.

You've done harder things, Heather. You got this. — Oh, thanks for strength, too, Heather. Hold it. You should be very proud of yourself, but I do need you to head back up to the hotel. — For the rest of you, you're going to head back to base camp. You have a good recovery day tomorrow. — Thank God. — We lost our captain. We gave it our all. And now I'm heading to the hospital as a result.
