In the preceding episode, contestants encountered a formidable obstacle course that pushed their physical and mental fortitude to the utmost. The task necessitated collaboration among teams, with Mixed Berries (Karl Kugelmann and Stacy Gossayn) paired with Mango Peach (Roxy Burger and Buntu Matshaya), and Team Orange (Hungani Ndlovu and Dimakatso Calisa) paired with former Miss SA (Ndavi Nokeri and Tristen Naidoo who form team Zanzibar Sunrise. However, tensions escalated, and contestants engaged in heated conflicts, culminating in a dramatic and unexpected conclusion.

In a strategic and sneaky move, Ndavi and Tristen used their smoooth charm to take away 2 points from Tazmin & Bobby in order to keep themselves in the game and top of the leader board, shattering alliances in their wake, resulting in what could have been an explosive confrontation between Bobby and Tristan. This heated moment was diffused by Hungani from Team Orange.
