Road Trip: Chilean Adventure is the second season of the travel reality competition show devised by SJ productions. The show follows a group of individuals travelling around in a select number of recreational vehicles (RVs) from a starting point to a finishing point across a predetermined route. At each city/town pit-stop, the group compete in either an individual or team-based immunity challenge to win the role of 'tour leader'. The worst performing individual in each challenge is put up for 'repatriation', along with another individual of the tour leader's choosing. Everyone other than the three stated cast a vote in the deliberation for who they wish to repatriate, with the individual receiving the most votes kicked-off the road trip. When only two road trippers remain, a jury consisting of the last seven eliminated players vote for who they wish to win the £50,000 prize. The series is hosted by Big Brother UK alumni Lincoln Mackenzie (Season 1 & All-Stars) and Sinead McGrath (Season 2 & All-Stars).
This season began in Lauca National Park, Chile and ended in Tierra del Fuego, Chile. It was the first season to solely visit one country, encompassing a total of 11 cities. The winner of the season was CJ Jackson, defeating Bao Huang in a 4-3 vote to become Champion of the Road Trip.

==Episodes==
===Episode #1 - Long Road South===
Thirteen brand new road trippers arrive in Lauca National Park, Chile, where they find joint hosts Lincoln and Sinead already waiting by their custom built RVs in the open plains. After brief introductions are made, Lincoln informs the road trippers that they will immediately be participating in their first daily challenge. Sinead confirms that once again, the winner of the first challenge will earn immunity from the first elimination, whilst the loser will be the first of two nominees for repatriation. The road trippers are quickly made aware of the array of wild llamas that inhabit the area, spending their days grazing and bathing in the boggy marshland. To honour and emulate these native animals, all thirteen road trippers will don fitted llama costumes and must race back and forth across the marsh, transporting three coloured balls from one side to the other. As the challenge begins, it quickly becomes apparent that the less physically active and older contestants are struggling. CJ, Bao, Ivan, Carys, Monty and Erich appear to take the early lead, although Erich's weight eventually slows him down as he sinks into the wet ground, and Carys' shorter legs don't enable her to move fast enough. In the end, keen runner Bao is able to narrowly beat CJ and is declared the winner of the first challenge. Cornelius' age and slower pace put him in a difficult position, but he strategically works out a drier path, giving him an opportunity to move ahead of others. Jade and Max become the last two to finish, with Jade getting easily out of breath, and Max misplacing one of his balls (which becomes caked in mud and virtually invisible to the eye). Max is ultimately able to find his ball and outpace an exhausted Jade, leaving her as the first of two nominees for elimination.
As the sun starts to set, all thirteen contestants sit around a camp fire to tuck into their first meal as a group, which they must cook and prepare themselves. The road trippers are supplied with beef to cook with, although several members of the trip are hesitant to eat what they view as a "mystery meat". Ivan decides to wind up those complaining by telling them that it could be 'guinea pig', saying that he knows it is a delicacy in several South American countries. Throughout the meal, Ivan continues purposely winding people up for his own amusement, even going as far to joke that Jade shouldn't bother unpacking her bag. Lucy comforts Jade, who is feeling down due to having lost the first challenge. The girls are then joined by oldest road tripper Cornetto, who tells both girls that they should ignore "the punk" (Ivan), with the three proceeding to declare Ivan as nothing but immature. Lucy and Jade continue to bond, seemingly becoming close throughout the first evening. CJ joins the girls to check up on Jade, sitting with them and suggesting that Jade will have people who want to save her regardless of who loses next. After Jade heads to sleep, CJ and Lucy take their conversation outside to join Max, who jokingly declares that they'd make "a beautiful couple", causing both to blush.
The group begin to head to bed inside their RVs, knowing that they have a long drive scheduled for the day ahead. During the night, Bao and Bryony both awaken needing to use the bathroom, but instead find Max blocking the door. Rather than to wake him, the women decide to go outside, but struggle to find their way in the pitch dark. Whilst walking together, Bryony stumbles and rolls down a small mound, causing both her and Bao to cry out in laughter. Both women continue cackling as they make their way back to the RV, ultimately being hushed by Max, who ironically was the reason for their outside venture to begin with. The next morning, Max decides to lecture the group on sleep disturbances, pointing out the noise made by both Bao and Bryony. Bao speaks up against this, informing Max that he positioned himself on the floor of the RV and blocked off their toilet. Despite this, Max refuses to bare any responsibility, and declares Bao as being "selfish" due to her win. CJ interjects, defending Bao and telling Max that he's overreacting. Monty also speaks up, but in Max's favour, saying that his sleep too was disturbed and that everyone should be more considerate.
Both RVs then set off from Lauca National Park to the coastal city of Antofagasta, which will ultimately be a thirteen hour journey. The first RV consists of CJ, Carys, Thomas, Bryony, Max and Monty, whilst the second consists of Bao, Lucy, Jade, Cornetto, Erich, Zasha and Ivan. Thomas begins driving the first RV, but several mistakes almost cause both RVs to collide when leaving the park, forcing CJ to take over. Carys jokingly calls CJ "a control freak" for quickly ousting Thomas of his position, to which CJ bluntly asks her if she wants to reach Antofagasta or not. In a confessional, Carys calls CJ "the kind of guy (she'd) never be friends with". After being ousted from his position, Thomas sits by the table with Bryony and plays a game of 'go fish', allowing them to bond and make light of the situation. The RVs continue their journey south, knowing that they have embarked on a 2,500+ mile journey southwards through Chile.
===Episode #2 - Helping Hand===
On the ride to Antofagasta, Carys, CJ, Max and Thomas play card games together. During their conversation, Carys jokes that she isn't helping any lesbian stereotypes by only hanging with the boys. She also opens up about being autistic, something which the others admit they hadn't even suspected. Bryony; who had been driving during the latter half of the journey, opts to take a break and join CJ and Monty who are talking about their thoughts on being a part of the show. CJ says the chance to travel is what spurred him to apply, whilst Bryony jokes that it's nice to have time away from her kids. Monty is honest about his own reasons for playing, suggesting that the chance to take part in a strategic game was too exciting an opportunity to pass up.
Upon arriving in Antofagasta, all thirteen road trippers are given some time to freshen up and then head to the beach. Bao, CJ and Thomas swim together in the ocean, bonding over their mutual sporty lifestyles. Bao confesses in a confessional that she finds both men attractive, suggesting that their accents make them even more appealing. Bryony, Erich and Lucy sunbathe together on the beach, with Erich joking that he needs to lather up with sun cream due to his ginger hair and fair skin. Bryony and Lucy both help rub the cream onto his back, with the intimate experience bonding them as a trio. Bryony talks openly about body image issues; something which Erich says he can relate to. Lucy too admits that on the other end of the spectrum, her slim frame often left her desiring curves, causing Bryony to joke that she will "pass her some of her own". Erich heads down to join the others in the water once the sun cream has dried, leaving the two women together. Bryony asks Lucy about her thoughts on the others, admitting that she's unsure how somebody like Cornetto could 'survive' such a journey. Lucy laughs, saying he's certainly pushing himself at his age, before retelling the interaction she had with him the previous day, calling him "an absolute sweetheart". After Lucy joins the others in the water, Bryony is left alone on the beach until Thomas comes back to join her. He states that he wants to make sure she doesn't feel left out, which she claims is "extremely kind" of him.
Elsewhere, the other road trippers have spent their day looking around the city in pairs/trios. Max and Zasha have spent their afternoon going around clothes shops, bonding over their mutual adoration for fashion and luxury (although both note they have yet to see either in Chile). All thirteen road trippers are then told to get together for a short journey outside the city to the Mano del Desierto (hand of the desert). The group arrive to find the large emerging sculpture of a hand, and are told that it will be the basis of their next daily challenge. Lincoln explains that each player (other than previous daily winner Bao, and first daily loser Jade) will hold a soccer-sized medicine ball above their heads. The first person to drop their ball will be automatically nominated for repatriation against Jade, whilst the last person standing will win immunity alongside Bao (and an extra unknown reward). The eleven competitors begin, with the Chilean heat quickly causing individuals to struggle. Max announces that he doesn't like sweating, dropping his ball saying he would rather accept being up for repatriation, much to everyone's confusion. Bryony drops her ball just seconds later, admitting that she was close to losing and had been waiting for someone else to lose before her. Cornelius, Zasha, Carys and Monty quickly follow over the next few minutes, taking their seats in the shade next to the others. CJ and Thomas both suddenly drop their balls, admitting later in a joint confessional that they had intentionally done this to ensure they weren't regarded as threats, and retained their votes for the first elimination. Lucy finishes in third place, receiving a round of applause from those who underestimated her for her small size. In the end, the heat proves too much for biggest male competitor Erich, who loses to wind up merchant Ivan, much to the groups horror. Sinead announces that for winning, Bao and Ivan will additionally be gifted a 7-day European getaway for themselves and two guests at a five star spa resort.
The road trippers head back to the campsite as the sunsets, preparing to gather around the fire-pit for the first elimination of the season. Prior to casting votes, Lucy begins campaigning for friend Jade, pointing out that Max seemed unbothered in his attitude to staying on the tour. Cornetto agrees to help in the campaigning, having taken a shine to both girls during the first few days. Alternatively, Max finds himself seeking support from shopping-buddy Zasha and Carys, who he bonded with during the long journey to Antofagasta. CJ and Erich both join Lucy and Cornetto in voting for Max, whilst Thomas and Monty vote for Jade, feeling as though for losing the first challenge she doesn't deserve to stay. Bryony's key-fob is the last to be drawn, with her anonymous vote having been cast against Max, who she felt she hadn't seen much care from during his time, repatriating him in a close 5-4 vote. Max seems to have little to no care at the result, laughing and saying that he cannot wait to get to a hotel as he removes his luggage from the RV. Max is driven off in a taxi after saying his goodbyes, leaving Lincoln and Sinead to inform the remaining twelve to get some sleep, as tomorrow they will once again be undergoing a long drive south to their next destination.
===Episode #3 - Volleyball and Vanquish===
After surviving the first repatriation vote of the season, Jade joins Lucy quietly outside the RV to talk through the closeness of the result. Lucy asks her who she thinks cast votes against her, to which Jade isn't completely sure, but speculates one of them was Erich. Jade calls Erich annoying, telling Lucy that she gets a vibe off him that suggests they won't get along during the journey. The next morning, both RVs set off on a ten hour journey down the Western coast of Chile to the city of La Serena. During the drive, black sheep of the tour Ivan spends some time getting to know Lucy, being the first proper conversation he's had during the tour that didn't involve purposely annoying others. He compliments Lucy for her performance in the previous daily challenge, to which she in turn congratulates him again on his win. The conversation between the two turns somewhat flirty, with Lucy admitting in a confessional that underneath his 'wall' that Ivan is a likeable individual.
The RVs eventually arrive at La Serena in time for the afternoon, giving the group time to freshen up before heading out to dinner together. During the meal, several road trippers decide to let loose on the cheap local beers, ultimately causing conversation to flow. Keen gameplayer Monty opts to speak to Bryony, telling her that he's keeping an eye on certain people on the tour; namely Thomas. He tells Bryony that he can tell Thomas is "a schemer", and somebody they should be weary of moving forward. Bryony laughs at this, suggesting privately that due to her role as "tour mother", others don't regard her as a threat and instead gravitate towards her. Jade and Cornetto begin dancing after a few drinks to some local music, flirting jokingly together after Cornetto admits he thinks Jade has a stunning body. Jade insists it's all in good spirit, saying that nothing will come from "harmless flirting".
The next morning, Lincoln and Sinead gather the contestants to La Serena's beach, with everybody already in their swimming gear. However, rather than to swim, the group will be participating in a game of volleyball. A random draw along gender-lines takes place in order to determine the teams. After one game, the victory goes to the team consisting of Bao, Cornetto, Erich, Ivan, Monty and Lucy. The winning team then breaks into two new teams, with the trio of Bao, Ivan and Monty winning that match-up. The winning trio then play one-on-one matchups against local players, with Monty scoring the most and therefore being declared the daily winner. The losing team of Bryony, Carys, CJ, Jade, Thomas and Zasha break off into two teams, with Bryony, Carys and Zasha losing the matchup. The three bottom placing players then participate in the same one-on-one matchups as the top three, with Zasha ultimately finishing in last place just behind Carys. For winning, Monty is told that he must immediately select somebody to face repatriation against Zasha. After taking a moment to consider, Monty decides to nominate Jade, claiming that he feels it is "the fairest" thing to do.
Upon knowing who will face repatriation, the twelve road trippers make the journey back to the RVs and fire-pit, with tensions somewhat rising after Monty's decision. Jade openly calls Monty's decision "bullshit" and "cowardly", claiming that he's told everyone he is here to play hard and that he shouldn't be trusted. Jade declares that if she's able to survive the vote, she will target Monty for his decision. Monty argues back, claiming that Jade has a negative personality and that he isn't the only person on the tour to feel this way. Erich quietly starts campaigning to get Jade voted out of the game, approaching CJ, Cornetto, Ivan and Thomas, hoping that a potential "guys alliance" could control the votes. Erich also approaches Bryony, who tells him that they should pull in Bao if they want to vote against Jade. However, Erich confesses that he isn't sure he trusts Bao, noting that she spends a lot of time sitting by herself. Despite Erich's efforts, Cornetto rats the plan to Jade and Lucy, forcing them to socialise harder to turn the votes on quieter member Zasha. Lucy tries to use her charm to sway CJ and Ivan, whilst both girls approach Carys, Bryony and Bao about the risks of an all-male alliance. At the voting, Bao, Erich, Ivan and Thomas stick to Erich's plan to oust Jade from the game. However, the girls' campaigning flips Bryony, Carys and CJ to join Cornetto and Lucy in voting against Zasha, repatriating her from the tour in a 5-4 vote. Zasha's belongings are removed from the RV as she says her goodbyes, with the final eleven going on to their next destination, with tensions at an all-time high after the plan to oust Jade failed once again.
===Episode #4 - Colourful Characters===
On the drive to Valparaíso, the tension between Monty and Jade intensifies, with neither willing to speak to the other. Monty attempts damage control with several other road trippers, whilst also trying to determine who stuck to his and Erich's plan. In the other RV, Lucy and Jade seem in high spirits after the vote, knowing that they switched the vote and ultimately saved Jade from elimination. The group arrives in Valparaíso after five hours, parking up and all heading to sleep for the night. The next morning, the group are brought out into the centre of Valparaíso, where Lincoln and Sinead say they'll be undergoing their next challenge. Each road tripper is supplied with a book of Spanish words (namely directions, household items and colours). They are informed that an iconic part of Valparaíso are the colourful houses built on the incline of the city, and that these houses will play a role in their next challenge. The group must race from the starting point to the first house, with the clue to this house being read aloud by Sinead. Each clue leads to a new house, ultimately being in a specific order and leading contestants to the finishing line. The first individual to finish will win immunity and the right to nominate somebody for repatriation, whilst the last place finisher will be automatically nominated.
Sinead reads the clue aloud to the group, forcing all eleven to quickly scatter forward, despite not all understanding what was said. Several individuals search for locals who speak English to repeat the phrase to, whilst others simply run and begin searching the exterior of houses, but soon find the vast amount and uphill climb is depleting their energy. Throughout the task, athletic runners CJ and Bao seem to excel, whilst Bryony's friendly approach and grasp on Spanish enables her to keep ahead of the others. Alternatively, Lucy and Monty both become completely lost and frazzled, unable to find the first house whilst others remain way ahead. In the end, CJ is able to cross the finish line minutes ahead of Bryony, giving him the daily win much to her disappointment. As the others begin to finish, it remains apparent that Lucy and Monty are way behind the rest of the competition, finishing hours after the ninth place finisher. Lucy is able to get ahead of Monty after some local boys come to her aid, leaving production to fetch Monty and inform him that he has already lost and there is no need to finish, causing him to break down in tears. After a manic Monty is brought to the group, CJ is told that he must nominate one of his fellow players immediately to face Monty in repatriation. CJ jokes that thanks to Monty he's had a long time to think it through, and opts to select Ivan, saying that he knows he won't take it to heart given his attitude towards things.
After the challenge, all eleven road trippers head out together to get their evening meal. Monty remains dejected throughout the dinner, spending much of his time privately tearing up and sulking (although he claims this is half due to strategy). Jade rolls her eyes to close friend Lucy during this, telling others that he has blown up his own game. At the dinner, Ivan slips back into his old ways and makes digs at some others, causing Carys to call him out. Ivan laughs this off, and instead turns his attention solely onto Carys, causing a minor argument between the pair. Lucy and Jade both tell a frustrated Ivan to reign it in, knowing that this jepordises their intention of getting Monty repatriated. Monty also pulls Carys and Thomas to one side, where Carys admits that she had voted to keep Jade, but this time intends to vote with Monty's side against Ivan, calling him "a bully". Thomas agrees that it would continue the trend of sending home the "apathetic" players, giving Monty hope that he can stay in the game. Monty then speaks to Erich about this, but Erich tells him frankly that he isn't sure they have the numbers to pull it off, causing Monty to have another public breakdown. Erich tries to calm Monty down, who scolds Erich for being pessimistic. Erich states in a confessional that he finds working with Monty exhausting, but knows it is best for his game to keep him around. Once the meal is over, all eleven begin heading back to the RV fire-pit for the vote. On the way, several individuals begin discussing the need to potential make a move soon against 'the threats', naming CJ as someone who is too much of a 'golden boy' to be left in the game.
At the fire-pit, the contestants have just one hour remaining to make their decisions, knowing that a line has been drawn in the sand and that most of them must now determine where they fall. Bryony and Carys take a moment to talk about the pros and cons of keeping Monty over Ivan, with Carys very much in favour of sending her enemy home. Bryony admits to being conflicted, suggesting that she hasn't had any issues with Ivan, and that she doesn't trust Monty based on his behaviour over the past few days. Lucy speaks to CJ, knowing that his closeness with Bao may be a needed influence in getting numbers on their side. She flirts with CJ (ironically to keep her other flirtmance; Ivan), hoping that he can convince Bao that sending Monty home is best for group morale. At the voting, Jade and Lucy predictably vote to send Jade's rival Monty home, whilst Carys and Bryony vote to eliminate Ivan. Surprisingly, Cornetto joins the vote to send Ivan home, noting his reasoning as being that Ivan's attitude turned him off him in the first few days. Bao is ultimately convinced by CJ to vote against Monty, leaving it tied 3-3. In a blindside, both Erich and Thomas end up betraying Monty due to his over the top outbursts, feeling that with him by their side they will be working with 'a ticking time bomb'. Monty is left speechless as it is revealed he has been repatriated in a 5-3 vote over Ivan, leaving him to question who turned on him. Erich's honest nature forces him to confess, resulting in Monty blowing up at his former ally in his final few moments whilst the others help take his belongings out the RV. Jade is unable to hide her laughter during this, clapping her hands and waving goodbye to Monty from the window, feeling no sympathy towards him in his exit. After Monty departs in a taxi, questions begin to arise as to why Thomas also changed his vote, to which he replies "I thought it would be funny to see Monty mad again".
===Episode #5 - Snow, Skiing, Sex & Sprains===
The group wake up early the following day to begin the short journey to Portillo Ski Resort. On the journey, Thomas continues to mock Monty's tears and breakdown that took place the previous day, going as far to say that he "shamed himself and all the gay guys watching". Carys breathes heavily throughout the journey, clearly having a mild anxiety attack over finding herself on the wrong side of the numbers, with Thomas' mocking of the situation only making her feel worse. CJ notices Carys struggling, telling her she should "chill out" and that it's "no big deal". However, rather than make Carys feel better, his comments cause her to lash out, labelling him arrogant and not knowing what it feels like to be at the bottom of a big group. CJ defends himself, unsure as to why Carys didn't see that (in his mind) he was trying to help her. The two end up once again not on speaking terms, clearly finding that their personalities aren't gelling. After two hours, the RVs arrive at the base of Ojos de Agua; part of the Andes Mountain Range.
All the road trippers pack small luggage bags to take with them up the mountain, staying in the Ski Resort lodge over the next few days. Lincoln and Sinead wait atop the mountain for the group, letting them know that they will have some time to acclimatise and settle in, with their next daily challenge and repatriation vote taking place the following day. The road trippers spread around the resort, taking time to sleep, eat and dip in the heated pools. Bryony and Bao spend time talking in the pool, agreeing that it would be in their best interest to put their minds together rather than to allow Jade and Lucy to control too many of the votes. Elsewhere, CJ and Lucy take some private time together in a sauna, getting closer and ultimately sharing their first kiss. At the group dinner, CJ formally apologises to Carys, saying that he believes there was a misunderstanding between them, and that he hopes they can continue on speaking terms without awkwardness. Carys accepts the apology, hugging CJ and seeming to be in a better place mentally than she had been earlier on in the day. That night, CJ and Lucy end up sneaking off together into a private room, where they end up sleeping together and spending the night. Word quickly gets around the group that this has occurred, causing several individuals to second guess allowing them to both remain in the process.
The next morning, Lincoln and Sinead meet the group outside the resort dressed in snow gear. They inform the group that their daily challenge will entail skiing down a 'beginners' path, completing one of two puzzles, racing back up the path (on foot and then skii lift), then returning once again down the beginners path to complete a second puzzle. Upon completion, each puzzle will release one half of a key jigsaw, with the first road tripper to return to the starting point with the completed key jigsaw being declared the winner. As usual, the person with the slowest time will be automatically nominated for repatriation. During the course, male competitors CJ, Erich and Ivan appear to be doing the best, with Erich and Ivan pulling ahead due to their prowess on the puzzles. In the end, Erich shocks several others by finishing just ahead of Ivan and being declared the winner. Despite several people struggling with the task, Thomas shockingly takes a bad fall during the second downhill ski, resulting in the medical team rushing to his aid. He is declared to have severely sprained his leg, forcing him to receive a DNF (did not finish), and automatically be nominated for repatriation. Whilst Thomas is given medical attention inside the resort, Erich is informed he must select who will be facing repatriation against him. Erich unsurprisingly nominates mutual enemy Jade, causing her to openly laugh and shout "surprise, surprise".
As the group walk back into the lodge, Jade's attitude at being nominated again rubs Erich the wrong way, with the pair arguing openly and throwing insults at one another. Jade calls Erich out for continuously targeting her, whilst he refers to her reaction at being nominated as proof he "made the right decision". The pair are separated as the shouting between them continues to get heated, with lodge security ultimately intervening due to the disruption they're causing. Erich is joined by Carys, Bryony and Bao, who do their best to calm him down following the fight. Bryony openly declares that the three girls need to vote to eliminate Jade, removing power from her side of the trip. Both Carys and Bao agree, saying that CJ and Ivan will be their best bet as a final needed fourth vote. Bao speaks one on one to Ivan, bringing up CJ and Lucy's relationship (and by default, Jade's friendship with Lucy) as a big enough threat to need one of them to go home. On the other side of the lodge, Lucy and Jade once again begin campaigning to save the latter, having been promised Cornetto's vote, leaving them no option but to campaign to CJ and Ivan as well. Lucy speaks to previous flirtmance Ivan, who seems colder after hearing about her new found relationship with CJ. Lucy continues to flirt with Ivan, hoping that it could sway his vote, reminding him that initially she was the only person who had his back in the game. Ivan ultimately confesses that Bao had campaigned already to him, ratting out that she brought up Lucy's night with CJ as strategy. Annoyed; Lucy confronts Bao in the middle of the lodge, accusing Bao of being jealous due to her "blatant crush on CJ", believing that she wants to target Lucy and Jade due to having missed her chance with him. Bao argues back, claiming that Lucy is arrogant and blind to the fact they are playing a numbers game, with both girls parting ways greatly disliking one another. After the argument, both Bao and Lucy take time appealing to CJ. Bao argues that their friendship means he should side with her, rather than to work with Lucy who she calls "dishonest" and a "gameplayer". Alternatively, Lucy plays on the relationship she has with CJ, claiming that it would hurt her to have him betray her for a side who is largely made up of individuals that he doesn't spend time with (namely Carys and Bryony).
The ten road trippers take their seats outside around a small fire in the snow, with Thomas being aided by crutches after his injury. Lincoln and Sinead begin revealing the votes one by one, with everybody knowing that it will likely come down to CJ and Ivan. Ivan is revealed to have sided with Lucy, leaving the results 3-3 tied, and CJ's vote being the decider. Ultimately, CJ picked his relationship with Lucy over his friendship with Bao, sparing Lucy's ally Jade by voting Thomas out in a 4-3 result. Thomas nods, with some of those that voted him lying that his injury meant they felt it was best he returned home. Thomas admits to being upset, but claims his injury does make it an easier result to swallow, saying his goodbyes to the group before being escorted down the mountain. Lincoln congratulates the remaining ten on at least having made the jury stage of the game, before Sinead informs them that they have an extra night to spend at the resort to get some rest before continuing on their journey.
===Episode #6 - Santia-Go-Home!===
All remaining road trippers are given an early wake-up call by Lincoln and Sinead, who are amused upon discovering that once again CJ and Lucy have shared a bedroom. The group travel down and return to the RVs for the first time in a few days, beginning a two hour journey to the capital city of Chile; Santiago. On the journey, Bryony and CJ have a somewhat heated discussion around alliances in the game, with both talking openly about finding themselves on different sides despite having reasonably got along up until this point. Bryony accuses CJ of playing with 'gang mentality', and declares that she, Erich and Carys seem to be easy targets from here on out. Jade comes to CJ's defence, accusing Bryony of playing the victim, noting that she herself has played strategically and is just trying to rework things now that she finds herself on the bottom. In the other RV, Lucy quietly talks to Ivan and thanks him for siding with her during the last vote. She holds Ivan's hand during the conversation, seemingly continuing to be flirty despite having spent a second night with CJ. Ivan asks Lucy if she would date him on the outside, to which she says she "hasn't made up her mind". In a confessional, Ivan notes that he is aware that half of what Lucy says is gameplay, but jokes that he enjoys the idea of putting pressure on 'golden boy' CJ.
Arriving in Santiago, the group is immediately escorted to the Gran Torre Santiago; a 62-story tall skyscraper that is the second tallest building in Latin America. At the entrance to the tower, Lincoln and Sinead inform the road trippers that they'll be immediately taking part in their next daily challenge without any time to prepare. Each contestant must repel from a specially opened window on the fiftieth floor whilst collecting coloured flags. The individual to collect all their flags in the fastest time will be declared the winner, and the slowest will automatically face repatriation. The usual suspects Bao, CJ and Ivan excel during the challenge, proving to have no fear with the height. Carys also finds herself placing in the top four, clearly spurred on by her desire to take control for herself and her allies. Despite being underestimated, both Bryony and Cornetto place comfortably in the middle of the pack, knowing they have done enough to be safe. Meanwhile, both Jade and Erich struggle immensely (Jade due to dropping a flag and incurring time penalties, and Erich for panicking and his size ultimately forcing him to dramatically slow down). Lincoln informs everybody that Bao has once again won a daily challenge, giving her power to nominate somebody for repatriation. Sinead then confirms that Erich was the slowest and has been nominated, evoking an audible "ha-ha" off his rival Jade. Carys then tells Jade to "shut up", causing Lucy to bark back at Carys and defend her friend, resulting in an argument between the two girls. Carys calls Lucy "a stuck up bitch", clearly amusing Ivan who hides his laugher off to one side. Sinead manages to break up the fight, asking Bao who she'll be nominating against Erich. Bao waits for a moment before announcing that Jade will be nominated again. In a confessional, Bao admits that for personal reasons she wanted to nominate Lucy, but that she felt Jade would be an easier person to eliminate due to having less friends outside her core alliance.
After the nomination ceremony, the contestants are given free time to spend around Santiago until the evening. Bao, Bryony and Carys go off briefly together, having all already agreed that they will once again be trying to vote out Jade. Bryony suggests that the three of them solidify a core three, suggesting that they go to the endgame together. Both Bao and Carys enthusiastically agree, knowing that they are each others best hope of making it through. Carys decides after a few hours that she's going to head back to the RV-site, joking that like Cornetto she needs an afternoon nap. Bryony and Bao later bump into CJ and Lucy in the city-centre, agreeing as a foursome to go and try some Chilean street food. The four of them end up sampling empanadas and churros, putting the game aside for a few hours whilst they bond as individuals. It becomes apparent that Bryony and Lucy get along despite being on opposite sides, whilst Bao still clearly has a friendship and feelings for CJ. During the meal, CJ and Lucy blush after Bryony questions whether they consider themselves to be "dating". Bao and Lucy also somewhat make-up after their fight during the previous elimination. Back at the RV-site, Cornetto and Carys nap whilst Jade and Erich both individually pitch their cases to Ivan who once again finds himself pegged a 'swing-vote'. Erich again tells Ivan that he's being used by Lucy and her allies, whilst Jade points out that both Bryony and Carys tried to vote him out during their time in Valparaíso, and that they now only want his vote because they need it.
Once the sun sets, those eligible to vote put their respective key fobs into the board, leaving Lincoln and Sinead to reveal them one-by-one. Erich knows the best he can hope for is a 3-3 tie, with Bao breaking the tie in favour of him. However, Ivan is revealed to having once again sided with Lucy by saving Jade and voting to repatriate Erich in a 4-2 result. Erich sighs, calmly telling the group that he feels a select few of them will regret their decision in the coming days. He chooses to only say goodbye to a select few people, wishing Bryony luck and whispering to her that she has his vote if she can reach the end. He also pays respects to Lucy, declaring that she has played "an amazing game". Lincoln and Sinead tell Erich that he is officially the first member of the jury, and will be sequestered until the it comes time to determine who of the final two will be declared 'Champion of the Road Trip'.
===Episode #7 - Whining Every Step===
The final eight road trippers depart from the Chilean capital to return to the Valparaíso region; but this time will be visiting the wine valley located in Casablanca. After arriving, Lincoln and Sinead greet the contestants each with a large glass of locally grown and bottled Sauvignon blanc. Sinead jokes that the group will now race to down their glass and place the empty glass on the table, with the first two to finish winning "special privileges". She further jokes that in the interest of fairness, she will not be partaking in the race. Lincoln blows a whistle to signal the start of the 'race', which Lucy quickly wins, followed closely by friend Jade. Jade and Lucy both scream and celebrate in an overly excited manner, with Jade exclaiming "I finally won something!". The girls are then informed that for winning, they will become team captains for a team based challenge, with the winning team retaining immunity and the right to vote out somebody from the losing team; who will all be nominated. Jade and Lucy both look nervously at one another, not liking that they'll be on separate teams. For finishing first, Lucy is given the starting pick, opting to bring showmance CJ onto her team. Jade then selects friend Cornetto, whilst Lucy brings in Ivan, and Jade takes Bao. Lucy selects Bryony as her final choice, leaving undesired Carys to join Jade's team in an awkward silence.
Lincoln and Sinead explain to the group that in keeping with the theme of the Chilean wine valley, both teams will race to collect several baskets of grapes in order to fill a large filtering tub. They then as a team must use their bare feet to crush juice from the grapes and fill a large bucket to a line marker. The first team to do this will be declared the daily winners. Lincoln once again blows his new signature whistle (much to Sinead's annoyance), setting the group off on their task. Initially, both teams seem neck and neck, with CJ and Ivan's strength keeping them at a strong pace, whilst Bao and Carys' determination enables their team to hold strong. Once both teams are almost done, Jade seems to purposely be bringing in lighter loads of grapes, ultimately slowing her team down despite Carys putting in extra effort to get them back in the race. In the end, Jade's 'mistakes' cause her team to lose, giving Lucy, CJ, Ivan and Bryony victory. Lincoln tells the foursome that they will be voting for who to eliminate out of Jade, Cornetto, Bao and Carys, and that they have the entire day to socialise before votes are due.
With the whole day to strategize, the entire group enjoy a short tour around the wine valleys before sitting down to sample some of its produce (this time not as a race). Carys privately goes off to cry, having become overwhelmed emotionally at the result of the challenge. Cornetto follows her, giving her a hug and reminding her that she was perhaps the strongest individual in the challenge, and that she has no reason to feel upset. Carys appreciates the sentiment, but knows that unlike Cornetto she seems (at first glance) in trouble at the upcoming elimination. Cornetto returns to the group, causing Bryony to ask if Carys is doing okay. The two get talking, and Cornetto asks her up front if he needs to worry about leaving the trip, to which she tells him he is safe. Bryony goes on to tell Cornetto that he can't rely on his friendship with Jade and Lucy to carry him to the end, further expanding on this by saying that Lucy has "lots of friends, lots of deals", which Cornetto says he is aware of. CJ, Ivan and Lucy then summon Bryony for a private 'winners chat', wanting to come to an agreement as a four as to who will be sent home. Almost immediately, CJ and Ivan agree that Cornetto has (out of those nominated) the least chance of winning, and in the interest of fairness may be the best person to send home as he often struggles to compete in challenges. Lucy shuts this down, pointing out that Cornetto has yet to come last in any challenge. After several minutes of discussion, it becomes apparent that CJ is refusing to vote Bao, Bryony is refusing to vote Bao or Carys, Lucy is refusing to vote Cornetto or Jade, and Ivan doesn't particularly care who goes home. Lucy says that on the basis of their 'wants and needs', that Carys would be the best person to vote off. This upsets Bryony, who begins targeting her plea towards the boys by saying that Jade has had more chances than anyone and that her time is deservedly up.
Back in the wine tasting room, Bao and Jade manage to bond during the day, admitting that they wished they had spent more time together during the earlier portion of the road trip. Ivan returns and joins the pair in tasting the wine, jokingly telling them that the winners determined one of the two of them should go home. Bao and Jade find his teasing amusing, ultimately having grown to like him throughout the journey. Once the sun sets, the group meet together beside the rows of grapes, awaiting the fobs of the winners' votes to be revealed. Predictably, Lucy and Bryony's votes go to Carys and Jade respectively. CJ joins showmance Lucy in voting against Carys, having little to no positive relationship built with her. Rather than to cause an unnecessary tie, Ivan third wheels the showmance in voting Carys, sending her to the jury in a 3-1 vote. Carys composes herself as she removes her bags from the RV, wishing Bao, Bryony and Cornetto luck. After getting in her taxi, Carys flips off CJ, Ivan and Lucy, calling them "pretty people jerks". CJ and Lucy appear confused by the insult, whilst Ivan bursts into laughter, enjoying the last minute conflict off of Carys. Lincoln and Sinead inform the final seven that they will be camping at the wine valleys for the evening, and will need their rest for the upcoming daily; referring to it as "the toughest challenge yet".
===Episode #8 - Ain't No Mountain High===
Early in the morning, the group travel to Villarica, a city in southern Chile. After arriving, the group are given brief access to a motel where they're able to freshen up and shower. A note left for the group informs them that for the next twenty-four hours they'll have free-time, and that the next day they will be 'scaling for victory'. The group decide to hit a local bar later that evening, leading them to all get together to plan their outfits for the evening. Cornetto's signature colourful shirts and suits make an appearance, with the oldest road tripper offering style tips to CJ. CJ agrees to let Cornetto dress him in one of his shirts, teaching him dance moves and how to "woo ladies", jokingly telling CJ that if he picks up Cornetto's dance moves that he can "attract women of all colours".
The group get together later that evening for their night of partying, with nobody taking into account the warning that Lincoln and Sinead had given them the previous evening. Both Bao and Lucy have one on one dances with Cornetto, who they admit impresses them to be moving around with ease despite almost being 60 years old. Throughout the evening, Lucy tells Cornetto that he is good with her and their alliance, and that Bao should be the next to go home. Minutes later, Bao tells Cornetto that he needs to consider working with herself and Bryony, believing that Lucy and Jade have too many ties with the others in the game. Bao then goes to friend and ally Bryony, telling her that Cornetto isn't giving an answer on whether or not he wants to work with them. Bryony (who has been drinking) mocks Cornetto to Bao, saying that he's too much of an old fool to know how to play the game. She then goes a step further and says they might get lucky and he has to go home for medical reasons. CJ, Cornetto and Ivan hang together in the club as the only remaining men, dancing with local girls and enjoying their time. Cornetto tells CJ and Ivan that they are both upstanding young men, and proceeds to give them advice for how to live their lives. Ivan admits in a confessional that he feels he's grown closer to the boys, and no longer feels so much of an outsider in the group.
The next morning, the hungover group are driven an hour outside the city to the base of Villarica Volcano. Sinead is waiting for the group at the bottom, telling them that this is the site of their next daily challenge. Each contestant must follow the marked path up the volcano to the main slope, which typically would be a 60-80 minute journey. However, there are three equally spaced out puzzles placed along the path, which contestants must complete before moving on. The first individual to reach the end (where Lincoln is waiting) will be the daily winner, whilst the last up will be nominated for repatriation. The group begin the race, with Bao, CJ, Ivan and Lucy taking the lead with a steady pace. Bryony, Cornetto and Jade struggle initially, but hope the puzzles will give them a chance to catch up. However, an exhausted Bryony and Jade find that doing the puzzles is difficult when low on energy, placing them way behind the other competitors. Cornetto jokes that all he has to do is keep ahead of the girls and he's safe, noting it as his strategy for the season. Up ahead, Bao, CJ and Lucy pull ahead of Ivan after he struggles on the second puzzle, essentially making it a three-way race. However, the third puzzle proves difficult for CJ, leaving the girls in a head-to-head. Lucy's one minute head start for finishing the puzzle first ultimately pays off, giving her her first individual daily win. Bao places second, congratulating Lucy, but knowing deep down that this is a disaster for her. She quietly tells third place CJ that if Bryony loses, it will be "game-ending". Ivan finishes twelve minutes after CJ, with the four waiting some time for Cornetto to arrive in fifth place. Cornetto collapses down, receiving a personal congratulations off Lincoln, who calls him "an inspiration". Bryony and Jade end up walking together up the mountain, bonding in conversation as they do so, having agreed to let the final puzzle determine which of them will take the lead rather than racing through their exhaustion. Bryony admits in a confessional that this was strategic, having known that Jade would likely beat her in a footrace. Bryony's strategy pays off, and she finishes the puzzle way before Jade, who once again finds herself nominated for repatriation. Lucy is told to select the nominee to face Jade, which she names as Bao to no one's surprise.
The final seven remain on their slope peak, being told that they have just one hour and will be making their votes there. Sinead arrives up the mountain, receiving a round of applause from the group as she does. The group and hosts sit down to eat a picnic buffet together, with an awkward tension between Bao and Jade who immediately want to get campaigning. After the meal ends, Bao tells CJ that she needs both his and Cornetto/Ivan's votes to stay, knowing that a tie will result in Lucy sending her home. CJ worries that voting out Jade will ultimately betray his showmance Lucy, but admits that his friendship with Bao is much greater than any attachment he has to Jade. Jade tells Lucy that she is confident they have enough votes to at least tie, with Lucy pulling CJ and Ivan individually to charm them into voting their way. Ivan privately talks to CJ and Cornetto, asking if they would both vote for Bao. All three men seem unsure, agreeing that they adore at least one of Jade/Lucy, but that as a pair they have a lot of power moving forward, and that removing Jade frees up space for them. However, they also agree that Bao is major competition physically, and somebody who could easily win the game if she reached the end. Furthermore, none of the three men feel particularly close to Bryony, and aren't sure if strengthening her will be good for their individual games. Lincoln begins revealing the votes, with it currently 1-1 after Bryony stuck with Bao, and Cornetto stuck with friend Jade. The group are stunned to see a second vote for Jade, having belonged to CJ, who decided that his friendship with Bao meant more to him than a connection to Jade through his relationship with Lucy. Jade and Lucy hold hands as the final vote is revealed, hoping that a tie occurs as the worst case scenario. Despite their wishes, Ivan's vote also goes against Jade, eliminating a stunned Jade in a 3-1 vote. Lucy and Jade remain speechless, with Cornetto admitting that he hadn't voted against her, leaving both girls to ignore 'traitors' CJ and Ivan. Bao enthusiastically hugs both men, assuring them that she'll have their backs moving forward to make it up to them. The remaining six begin their descent down the mountain, leaving Jade sat on the top to take a different path to jury sequester.
===Episode #9 - Betrayals On Demand===
The final six return to the RVs after just blindsiding Jade from the game, leaving Lucy unsure as to whether or not she can trust CJ or Ivan anymore. The group pile into one RV, with the other having already been removed due to the fewer numbers. Bao continues to be in a celebratory mood, which quickly irritates already annoyed Lucy. Lucy snaps at Bao, telling her to "wind (her) neck in". Bao laughs off Lucy's comment, saying that her true colours have exposed herself now she's no longer enjoying control. The girls are momentarily separated by the others, who tell them not to let the game get personal. Ivan and Cornetto opt to go outside the RV and take a walk together, smoking two of Cornetto's cigars that he purchased in Santiago. The two men laugh and bond over the evenings events, high fiving at the result, which they reveal in conversation that Cornetto had known about, but that he chose to remain loyal to Jade purely out of respect rather than in order to directly save her. Cornetto proposes that they team up with CJ and go for an all-male final three, which Ivan says he is "completely down for". In their conversation, the pair agree that getting out Bao and Lucy would be the ideal next moves, believing Bryony not to be a physical threat. However, they acknowledge that CJ's closeness to both makes it difficult. Ivan proposes they oust Bao first, using Lucy's vote to severe the Bryony-Bao duo, before then using Bryony to oust Lucy. Both men agree that they'll relay the information to CJ, but that they feel together they can call the shots and go to the final two.
The next morning, the group undergo a ten hour drive to the Patagonian city of Coyhaique; the next destination on the road trip. During the journey, Lucy spends much of her time sleeping and ignoring the others, not ready to forgive CJ or Ivan for their betrayal. In a confessional, she claims to know that she has to win the next daily or else her exit is "a certainty". The road trippers arrive in Patagonia, and meet Lincoln and Sinead who are waiting in the Reserva Nacional Coyhaique; a national park located in the Aysén Region of southern Chile. Sinead explains that once again the group will be tested on their endurance; running around a 10 mile racecourse. Unlike the previous challenge, there will be no puzzles along the way and fewer guides to mark the path, with the daily win simply going to whoever has the strength to finish first. The race begins, and all six remaining contestants begin running at a gentle pace in order to preserve their energy. CJ and Ivan pick up their pace, forcing Bao to up her own, wanting to pull away from the other three. However, during a downhill portion of the run, Bao loses her footing and takes a tumble, cutting her legs and spraining her ankle. Cornetto and Lucy both run past a limping Bao, but her friend and ally momentarily stops to check she's doing okay (with Bao ushering Bryony to keep running). CJ and Ivan's eagerness also comes back to bite them, as CJ takes a wrong turn and is followed unknowingly by Ivan. Ironically, Lucy and Cornetto begin to take the lead, with Lucy entering a faster pace and taking a decent lead. Ivan and CJ are able to turn around and pass Cornetto, but are ultimately unable to catch Lucy who once again dominates the endurance competition and wins her second daily in a row. CJ and Ivan finish second and third respectively, with Cornetto and Bryony finishing ahead of an injured Bao, who is automatically nominated for repatriation. After getting Bao medical attention and the all-clear, Lucy is asked to select somebody else to face repatriation. Lucy quickly names Ivan as her choice, telling him that she and Jade had campaigned to help him and carried him this far, and that for his betrayal she hopes that his game will end "like it could have a long time ago". Ivan laughs off the fighting talk, whilst the rest of the group avoid eye contact due to the uncomfortable atmosphere.
The group are driven back to the RV-site in order to accommodate for Bao's injury, setting her up on one of the RV beds so she can rest. Bryony checks on her friend and assures her that she'll be voting for Ivan, and that they just need CJ to join them to save her once again. CJ, Cornetto and Ivan go off for a talk together, with Ivan bringing up the final three deal that he had spoken about with Cornetto the previous evening. CJ agrees to the deal, shaking both men's hands before returning to the RV. In a confessional, CJ admits that he's going to say yes to everyone, and not make his final decision until it comes time to cast a vote. Back in the RV, Lucy speaks to Bryony whilst Bao sleeps nearby. Lucy mentions that she worries the men are making a boys alliance, and that the three women need to align and convince CJ or Cornetto to flip in order to take control. Bryony gets excited by the idea of a girls alliance, saying it is all she's wanted to do the past few days. Before the vote, CJ sits with Bao to hear her pitch, knowing that their friendship means she expects him to save her once again. He explains to her that it's difficult due to his recent friendship with Ivan. Bao explains that due to her injury she isn't a threat to CJ, and that with Ivan gone he will be more likely to win dailies, and ultimately have enough power to propel himself to the final two. CJ asks Bao if she'd be willing to keep him over Bryony, which she hesitantly says she would. Once again, CJ finds himself as the swing-vote, worried that his position means the jury will be made up of people bitter towards him.
Lincoln and Sinead gather the group around the campfire, ready to reveal who will be finishing in sixth place. Predictably, both Cornetto and Bryony stay loyal to their allies, leaving the vote at 1-1 and just CJ's left to be revealed. CJ blindsides Cornetto and Ivan by voting the latter out of the game, explaining after that he had given his word to Bao early on and couldn't go back on that. Ivan seemingly takes the blindside well, offering everyone (including Lucy) a hug goodbye. Cornetto appears more hurt, feeling extremely betrayed by CJ, knowing that he is now at the bottom of the final five. Ivan packs his things into the taxi and departs the RV-site, leaving an awkward atmosphere behind him.
===Episode #10 - Too Lake For Apologies===
The morning after Ivan's blindside from the game, Cornetto remains in a bad mood with his fellow road trippers. The group begin a treacherous 5 hour journey south through mountains towards Carrera Lake. During the journey, Cornetto takes the opportunity to speak quietly with Bryony and Lucy whilst CJ and Bao sit up front. He tells the girls that Bao and CJ's friendship is currently the strongest force in the game, and that they need to eliminate one of them in the next 24 others otherwise they will find themselves placing 5th, 4th and 3rd. Lucy seems responsive to what Cornetto has to say, admitting that removing Bao is still her priority moving forward. Bryony admits that she'd struggle to vote Bao, but will not hesitate if they agree to vote CJ instead. At the wheel, CJ and Bao seem deep in conversation and laughter, oblivious to the scheming going on at the back of the RV. The conversation between the pair seems borderline flirty, with CJ seeming more at ease with the idea that Bao may have a crush on him (something Bao admits in a confessional). In his own confessional, CJ claims that having a good relationship with Bao has been key for his game, and he's certain that maintaining it will be more useful than the others can imagine.
Later on in the journey, Bryony takes over driving with both girls sitting up front with her. At the back of the RV sitting around the table, CJ and Cornetto have their first proper conversation after CJ betrayed both Cornetto and Ivan at the last vote. Cornetto tells CJ that honesty and integrity mean a lot to him, and that at this stage he wouldn't vote CJ to win the game if he were to make the end, claiming not to respect his lies. CJ attempts to undergo damage control, telling Cornetto that his deal with him is still very much alive, and that Bryony should be the next to leave due to her final two deal with Bao. Cornetto says he would still be open to this, shaking CJ's hand and telling him this is his final chance to "do right by (him)". After an exhausting drive, the group arrive at General Carrera Lake; a Patagonian Lake that is shared by both Chile and neighbouring Argentina. The glacial waters at this time of year remain chilly, with each road tripper fitted with a wet-suit and insulation. Lincoln explains that the group will be swimming around a large section of the lake as part of their challenge, collecting keys from buoys that are stationed along the route. Once an individual has collected all their keys, they will return to the starting point and unlock a chest. The first individual to unlock a chest will be the winner of the daily, and as usual have the power to decide who is nominated alongside the last place finisher. Sinead confirms that the four who survive this round will move onto the final episode of the season, and will be in store for a change of transport over the next few days.
Before beginning, Cornetto tells CJ that he's confident he may lose the challenge, knowing that swimming isn't his strong suit. CJ assures him that he just needs to beat Bryony, who they suspect may also struggle. Cornetto tells CJ that it may be beneficial to allow somebody else to win, ensuring they both retain their votes and influence who leaves. Bao is checked by medical, who declare her sprain to have healed, with Bao herself confident in her ability to take part. Lincoln blows his whistle to begin the challenge, with the final five all letting out cries of shock as they hit the cold water. Fifteen minutes into the race, Cornetto and Lucy seem to be falling behind of the others, with Lucy later claiming that the cold water messed with her swimming ability. Bryony continues to surprise the group as she keeps up with current leader CJ, having not disclosed that she had spent time working as a lifeguard on the Irish coast in her 20's. Despite Bryony's swimming prowess, she is unable to catch-up to athletic CJ, who finishes in first place to snatch his second individual daily win. Bao stumbles onto shore in third place, receiving a hug off both Bryony and CJ as they huddle under blankets for warmth. Lucy finishes a distant forth, with a lifeboat going out to fetch Cornetto, who pulled himself out of the challenge after becoming panicked in the water. The group go to hug Cornetto as he pulls up on his boat, but immediately he begins cussing out CJ, who he feels has betrayed him yet again by winning the daily (not feeling confident that any of the women will save him). CJ tries to quietly explain that for his own protection he had to win, but Cornetto doesn't seem interested, instead telling Lincoln and Sinead that he's happy to get to the vote immediately so he can "get to a warm hotel". During the argument, Lucy seems supportive of Cornetto, commenting that she knows all too well that CJ betrays people, whilst Bao comes to CJ's defence, believing the others to be "politicking" rather than genuinely believing what they say. Sinead asks CJ to make his nomination to face Cornetto in repatriation. CJ stands and openly calls out Bryony for having "two paths to the final two" with Bao and Lucy, believing her to be in the best position out of everyone, claiming it would be in the girls best interest to send her home rather than to fight one another at the end whilst Bryony sits back. Bryony questions CJ's energy towards her, but in the end says she is confident her "friends will have (her) back".
Cornetto dresses is one of his signature colourful tailored suits and hats, enjoying a cigar whilst watching the sunset over Carrera Lake. He speaks on his experience as if it is over, calling it one of the greatest adventures of his life. Bryony avoids CJ over the next few hours, not liking the way he publicly targeted her for having social ties. Instead, she speaks to Bao and Lucy individually, assuring both that she isn't expecting either to carry her to the end, and instead thinks weakening CJ by ousting Cornetto would be their best bet. CJ also speaks to both girls, reiterating his view that Bryony is a major threat, whilst Cornetto is unable to win challenges and not somebody a jury would vote for. Despite both Bao and Lucy agreeing with CJ, they decide that their loyalty to Bryony at this time is more important, eliminating Cornetto in a unanimous 2-0 vote. Cornetto seems at peace with the decision, having expected to leave after placing last in the daily. He remains courteous by hugging everyone (including Lincoln and Sinead) goodbye, before privately reminding CJ that "a mans word is all he has". After his ominous final message, he packs himself into a taxi, eager to get to his 'warm hotel'. Before letting the final four get some sleep, Sinead tells them that tomorrow they will be abandoning the RV, and instead will travel by air to their next destination.
===Episode #11 - The End of the Earth===
After only getting a few hours of sleep, the final four remove their luggage from the RV and make their way by taxi to Leones Airport, where they catch a short flight to Punta Arenas, before travelling by bus three hours to Puerto Natales. During the journey, CJ and Lucy sit next to one another, seemingly rekindling their showmance for the sake of killing time. After arriving, the four are given a private tour briefly around Torres del Paine National Park, giving them a moment to take in their surroundings a new location, appreciating the natural beauty that Chile has to offer.
Once the tour is over, the four are brought to the Momumento al Viento; a pair of statues displaying flying figures overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Lincoln and Sinead explain to the final four that their next daily challenge will mimic these statues, with each road tripper taking positions on custom built stands that will force their arms to be stretched either side, and their feet placed behind them on a narrow post. The pose is designed to be uncomfortable, with the sea 8 metres below to soften the fall for those unable to hang on any longer. The last individual left standing as usual will select who faces the first to fall. After just three minutes, Bryony's pain becomes too much, and her weight forces her to fall into the water below, automatically placing her up for repatriation. Lucy lasts only a few minutes longer, feeling annoyed to know that her chances of survival are slim if Bao is the sole voter of the day. CJ and Bao begin debating whether or not one of them should drop for the other, with CJ once again making his intentions of voting out Bryony clear. However, Bao tells him that she is not comfortable with this, instead pitching that Lucy be the one to go home. Bryony and Lucy sit quietly on the side-lines, knowing that their fates are currently up in the air. After a few more minutes, Bao drops, leaving CJ to claim another daily win. In a confessional, Bao claims this to have been strategy, as she ultimately believed it to be best for her game to lose and control the vote to save her ally Bryony. Both Lucy and CJ somewhat catch onto this plan, leading Lucy to openly plead that he needs to accept that Bryony will not go home, and that it would be better to lose Bao than her and severe the "duo". However, CJ decides that Bao would have more reason to be loyal to him in a final two due to their strong friendship than Lucy, who he has already betrayed once in the game. Therefore, CJ tells Lincoln and Sinead that Lucy will be the second nominee, leaving Bao to be the sole vote in deciding which of the ladies go home.
Lucy appears furious with CJ, believing that he has played her over the past few weeks, claiming that he has lost the game thanks to his poor decisions. He argues back by claiming that either way he is in a poor position, and that he feels Bao would be more loyal to him than her if given the final daily win. Lucy laughs off this notion, instead going to Bryony and congratulating her, demanding she win the final challenge so somebody other than Bao and CJ can win the game. At nightfall, the four meet on the docks under the statues to hear the result of Bao's decision. Predictably, Bao opts to eliminate Lucy from the game, citing their conflict and her own loyalty to Bryony as the reason. Lucy nods, only giving Bryony a hug before departing the area. Sinead tells the final three that only one challenge stands between them and the final two, but before this they will make one final journey to "the end of the Earth". A private bus arrives to take the trio on an eleven hour journey south to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost point in Chile, with the only land south to it the icey continent of Antarctica.
After another exhausting journey, the group arrive late morning in Tierra del Fuego, shocked at how barren and quiet the local towns seem. They are instructed that they will be moving through the archipelago to reach Cape Horn, a small island south of their current location, which will be the final point of the journey. Once finished with lunch, the trio board a small boat and make sail for the island. CJ privately admits that he believes his only shot to the final two is if he wins, knowing that Bryony would oust him if given the chance. He claims that despite having put in a lot of effort with Bao, that her loyalty to Bryony may blind her to the fact "Bryony would beat either of (them)". A lit torch path leads the group up to a small clearing on the island, where they find Lincoln and Sinead waiting around a campfire. Lincoln and Sinead alternate asking questions about the road trip as a whole, with questions ranging from locations, activities and other road trippers. The final three are to write their answers on boards secretly before revealing, with every correct answer earning one point. After ten questions, the individual with the most points will win a spot in the final two and determine who will be joining them. Ironically, strong social player Bryony proves to struggle with her memory, scoring just three out of ten correctly and finishing in last place. Both CJ and Bao do well, with Bao just edging victory with eight correct answers to seven. Both Bryony and CJ are given an opportunity to plead their cases to Bao as to why they should be taken to the final two to face the jury. Bryony leans on her social bond with Bao, saying that they have been close allies throughout, and that unlike CJ she hasn't won a single individual daily. CJ also relies on his social bond with Bao, but goes on to call Bryony a shoe-in to win the game if she's allowed to reach the final two, naming Erich, Carys, Jade, Cornetto and Lucy as individuals who would surely vote her to win. Bao takes a moment, clearly becoming flustered at having to pick between her two closest friends, and two people who have very different play-styles. However, she ultimately opts to oust the individual that she thinks would beat her, picking Bryony to become the seventh and final member of the jury. Both Bryony and CJ seem surprised by the result, but remain quiet as Bryony briefly says her goodbyes, heading off down a darkened path.
Bao and CJ are given a brief meal before being put before the jury for questioning, with CJ spending their last moments thanking Bao for saving him, promising her that it was the best decision for her game regardless of what happens. The two sit wrapped up in coats as they are joined by the seven jurors who will decide their fate (Erich, Carys, Jade, Ivan, Cornetto, Lucy and Bryony). The jury as a collective body is allowed to question or make statements to CJ and Bao whilst they pitch their case as to why they should be crowned winner of the road trip. Bao is praised for her dominance in challenges as well as her clean game style, with many regarding her to have played heroically up until the final moment. Despite there being some criticism that she 'betrayed' Bryony, several jurors admit that it was the strongest game move, as Erich, Carys, Jade and Lucy all claim to have been set on voting her had she made it to the end. CJ is praised equally for his dominance in challenges, with many regarding it as strong gameplay that he was able to get so far without ever being nominated by a loss or a daily winner. Criticism for Bao's game centres around a perceived 'reliance' on others (namely Bryony and CJ), with many feeling as though her game lacked any clear moments of leadership or control, whilst CJ held a lot of influence by placing himself as the swing-vote and determining the eliminations of Jade and Ivan in particular. Criticism for CJ understandably comes heavily towards the claims that he played a traitorous game, sliding between factions and alternating his loyalty several times through the course of the game. Despite his attempts at trying to call this strategy and part of the game, Cornetto reiterates his warning that a man's word is all he truly possesses. Each juror is then instructed to place a key-fob with either 'Bao' or 'CJ' into the holder, corresponding to who they want to win the game. Lincoln and Sinead alternate in drawing fobs, with the vote being tied up 2-2 after the first four. Carys and Jade opt to vote for Bao due to the bonds they formed, and ultimately both feeling sour towards CJ for his gameplay. Alternatively, Erich and Ivan vote for CJ, believing that he played the best game all-round. The fifth and sixth vote tie it up once again at 3-3, after both Bryony and Cornetto opt to forgive and vote for Bao and CJ respectively (believing their vote to be more deserving individual). Lucy's vote is the last to be drawn, and it is CJ who is revealed to have been voted the second winner of the road trip. Lucy explains briefly that despite feeling betrayed by CJ, she cannot deny that he played "a great game", and couldn't justify being bitter towards him when he was ultimately proven right to have kept Bao over her. Bao hugs her friend CJ, having no ill feelings over losing the game, with everybody taking their moment to congratulate him on winning the £50,000 prize. Whilst the cast debrief with one another in the background, Lincoln and Sinead fight over a fold-out map, trying to determine where they'll be visiting next.
