The seven remaining teams race to Las Vegas, where they have the choice of either collecting flags while riding dune buggies or performing magic tricks to impress a stage magician. Geoff and Brody have a little too much fun on the buggies, Kitty's competitive side reveals itself, and Devin finally realises that he's in love with Carrie.
Tropes
- Bland-Name Product: Kitty owns a Game Station.
- Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: Josee seems to think that a wooden stake and garlic will scare the Goths, ignoring the fact that vampires aren't real.
- Competition Freak: According to Emma, Kitty was a brutal gamer years ago. Once, she got so angry she threw her Game Station against the wall. This side of her resurfaces when she's pitted against the similarly competitive MacArthur.
- Grew a Spine: Devin insists on doing things his way, and Carrie just goes along with it. While fending off lions, though, she realizes she's spent so many years putting someone else's feelings ahead of her own. She resolves to move on and be more assertive.
- Here We Go Again!: For the next couple of episodes, instead of Carrie loving Devin without the latter knowing, it will be Devin loving Carrie, without the latter knowing. Hooray.
- Love Epiphany: Devin finally realises his feelings for Carrie after accidentally dropping her into the lion pit. Unfortunately, Carrie decides to stop pursuing Devin after figuring he's not going to feel the same way.
- Moment Killer:
- After finishing, the Daters are about to share a moment, but then Don tells them to get off his rug.
- Thinking they've been eliminated, Devin is about to confess his newfound feelings to Carrie, but then Don tells them this was a non-elimination challenge. Devin then accidentally gets knocked out by an excited Carrie.
- Nice Guy: As Carrie openly struggles with the controls, Brody tells her she's holding it upside down.
- Only Sane Man: Jacques objects to Josee's plan to keep the Goths away with garlic and a Wooden Stake, since the Goths aren't vampires. He's then seen holding Josee back from attempting to attack the Goths a moment later.
- Plot Hole: The teams that chose to perform the magic trick didn't perform it per the challenge's instructions, but none of them get penalized for this.
- Pun-Based Title: The title is a play on "dune buggies".
- Running Gag: Jacques getting attacked by the lion.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The Ice Dancers are eventually forced to give up on the magic trick and attempt to compete the dune buggy challenge instead. The Best Friends later switch from the dune buggy to the magic trick the same way.
- Series Continuity Error: Geoff says that he and Brody had trouble with the Komodo dragons last week referring to "Got Venom?". But at the start of the episode, Don refers to the Goths as "Yesterday's winners".
- Shout-Out: MacArthur name drops her babysitter as Jennifer Masterson.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: The Goths to the point that Don wants to put bells on them.
- Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Devin realises his feelings for Carrie around the same time she loses her feelings for him.
