                  3 detailed Expedition spoilers/ speculation | 
               
              
                    The
                  new episode brings with it exciting new developments: a boat
                  race to shore, a race across the land, one crew slowing the
                  other down by sabotage early on, and then coasting
                  to victory as they retrieve a soggy treasure chest. If this
                  sounds familiar, well, tough. (The sabotage idea was cute once,
                  and certainly fits the concept of piracy, but doesn't lend
                  much to dramatic pursuits).  
                   
                     This week, in a seven-on-seven matchup, the
                  crews seem to mix it up a bit on the way to shore. That about
                  covers the excitement on that leg.

                      From there, the race begins across
                  land to the treasure site. The red crew must have a lead, because
                  we see the black crew getting the brunt of the sabotage. Although
                  it looks like the two crews are relatively evenly matched up
                  to that point.

                        The bulk of the rest of the challenge
                    appears to be a race along a river. Further clues (naturally,
                    in more fake skulls) are retrieved along the way. By the
                    time of the shot of Christa and Azmyth, it appears the two
                    crews may be on different sides of the river from each other.

                     With a now-insurmountable
                    lead, the red crew apparently saunters over to the treasure,
                    and retrieves it. Apparently from a waterfall area? In the
                    shot of the treasure being dumped back aboard ship, Azmyth,
                    Nessa and Jay are visible in the background, confirming the
                    (already obvious) red victory.

                        Who
                    wins? Um, looks like the red crew does. Assuming that's actually
                    the end of this specific challenge, and not some other one.
                    Luckily, if we're wrong, nobody's watching the show anyway. So
                    none shall be the wiser.
