The Challengers head into the second Challenge, where their endurance and memory are put to the test and the first alliances are formed.
Challenge[]
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Challenge: Peeking Blinders
Teams race 500 meters down a path to a pattern covered by blinds. There, one team member must balance one-footed on a narrow pole to open the blinds and reveal the pattern for their partner to memorize. After the team member balancing falls off, teams must return to their board at the start and attempt to replicate their pattern, repeating this process until they correctly recreate the entire pattern. The first team to finish wins while the last team to finish is automatically sent to the Arena.
