Road Trip: The Caribbean

Road Trip: The Caribbean is the fourth 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 Kingston, Jamaica and ended on Paradise Island, The Bahamas. Much of the season removed the traditional 'RV' format of travel typical in Road Trip, and instead featured a lot of air and sea-travel across a total of 10 countries (including overseas territories) and 12 cities/towns. The winner of the season was Dixie Williams, defeating Sanaa Powell in a 5-2 vote to become Champion of the Road Trip.

Episode #1 - Road Trippers of the Caribbean
Thirteen brand new road trippers arrive in Kingston, Jamaica, where they find joint hosts Lincoln and Sinead standing within Emancipation Park; a public park that commemorates the abolition of slavery in Jamaica. After everyone is given a moment to briefly introduce themselves, Sinead informs the group that they'll be spending time touring around Jamaica's capital city before taking part in their first daily challenge. The thirteen road trippers meet their local guide, who takes the group on a guided tour of the city to explain its historical and cultural heritage. Jamari and Kiyana quickly bond during the tour after identifying that they are both of Jamaican heritage (despite hailing from the USA and the UK respectively). However, both discuss a mutual respect for their heritage, with Jamari particularly interested in Kiyana being a practising Rastafari. In a confessional, Kiyana discusses the importance of cultural representation given that this season is 'The Caribbean', but goes on to note that ultimately she'll put the game before her emotions as best she can. Similarly, girls Dixie and Sanaa bond in Sanaa's native Dutch-tongue (having been raised in Belgium to Guyanese parents). Dixie explains to Sanaa that whilst her Dutch isn't strong, that her grandmother taught her as much as she could, joking that she's about as exotic as it comes in Fort Worth, Texas. As the tour comes to an end, oldest contestant Daneil gets to know self-described "modern-day nomad" Adam, with Daneil telling Adam that he hasn't returned 'home' to the Caribbean for over ten years. He explains that whilst he was born and raised in Leeds, he has always identified his home being the Caribbean (specifically Barbados, where his father is from). Adam resonates with this sentiment, describing his last few years as been "living out of a tent" and "constantly on the move", preferring a life in new places rather than his home in Wales.

After the tour, the guide explains to the group that they'll now regather in a local art studio where they'll have two hours to put together a piece of art representing Kingston that they've been inspired by throughout the day. Erin openly voices her concerns during the task, admitting that she doesn't have an artistic bone in her body; a sentiment shared by Errol and Garrett. Daneil, Dixie and Jamari spend time bonding as they put together their individual artwork, opening up about their thoughts and lives back home. Jamari privately confesses to the pair that he is bisexual, a fact that surprises both as neither had 'gotten a vibe'. Jamari continues to be an open book after he goes on to admit to spending time as a youth in a correctional facility due to "mixing with the wrong crowds". His openness impresses Dixie, who says she can sense his "positive aura" through his energy. However, all of his opening up causes Jamari to somewhat get sloppy with his artwork, leaving him little time to finish up his initial designs. All thirteen road trippers anonymously present their artwork to the two local judges, who identify Brodie and Ross' pieces as the best in the group. Additionally, Erin, Garrett and Jamari have their artwork called-out as the worst of the group. In the end, semi-professional artist Brodie is declared the first daily challenge winner; receiving immunity from the first repatriation vote, whilst also winning an all expenses getaway to the Grand Palladium, Jamaica (to be enjoyed after the road trip). The judges then both agree that Garrett's sloppy attempt at a coastline painting is the worst in the group, automatically nominating him for elimination.

Immediately following the results of the challenge, Erin makes an offhand joke as the group pack up their art supplies, citing the judges decision to award Brodie the win as "stupid", pointing out that in her mind that Ross had the better piece. Brodie overhears this joke and quickly calls out Erin, citing her comments as "jealous"; instead offering her sarcastic advice on how to improve her artwork which is "the same level as a four-year old". The pair bicker for some time before eventually being told to reel it in by Sinead, reminding the girls that they're going into the next hour of the booked art studio space. Following the argument, the group are escorted to a local car park which has been cleared to house the groups two RVs. Lincoln and Sinead explain that given the unique nature of this seasons locations; the group may occasionally travel by ferry, collecting new vehicles to travel in when applicable. The road trippers are given an hour to unpack their belongings into their RVs and get ready for their first evening out in Kingston. Whilst getting ready and still feeling raw after her earlier fight, Brodie rants to Brandon and Garrett about Erin. The trio agree that Erin's humour was poorly timed and that it certainly paints an easy target on her back. Brodie goes on to say that Erin is lucky this round didn't give her the right to nominate, otherwise she'd "be the first one out of here". Garrett jokes that he's hopeful Erin will lose the next daily to give him a better chance to stick around.

Lincoln and Sinead lead the group to a local bar where they're able to sample Jamaican food and drink. During the drinks, Adam sits with Kiyana and spends much of the evening learning about her Rastafarian beliefs, which he has great respect for. Kiyana is somewhat hesitant to share, not wanting to give too much away so that it can be used against her, but ultimately regards Adam as somebody who isn't strategically savvy. Elsewhere at the table, Erin and Sanaa are talking about 'showmances' on the trip, identifying which men they find attractive. Daneil joins the girls, and ultimately outs Jamari as being bisexual after Erin calls him her perfect type. Both women are surprised to hear this, with Daneil clarifying that there's "nothing wrong" with him being bisexual, but that he needs to "be careful" who he says that to around these islands. He says after a talk with Jamari he's certain that he's got the perfect story to win this game and is smarter than people will give him credit for, planting the seed in both girls' minds that Jamari is a threat moving forward. Daneil continues his social play throughout the evening, joining first nominated player Garrett alongside Dixie. The trio talk about how Garrett has the advantage of knowing he needs votes prior to the second day, whereas the next nominee has less time to secure votes they'll need to stick around. Garrett is pleased to hear this, joking that he hopes it means he has both Dixie and Daneil's votes at this stage. As the entire group continue socialising, Lincoln and Sinead make an announcement that it is up to them how long they choose to stay out; but that they may wish to get an early night as within twenty-four hours another challenge will take place, immediately followed by the first repatriation of the season.

Episode #2 - Your Time is Dunn
As the hours of the night continue to tick away, several of the road trippers remain out in the bar despite the advice from Lincoln and Sinead to consider getting an early night. Sanaa talks with Ocean, who over the course of the evening has opened up to the group about being a transgender woman. Ocean describes herself as 'unapologetic' about any aspect of her trans identity, frankly telling everyone that if they've got any issues with her they "better be ready to take a shot (at her)". Sanaa finds Ocean's humour and confidence endearing, leading to the pair to privately talk game. Both girls voice their wishes for a woman to win this season, particularly after the all-male alliance of last season. Additionally, Ocean tells Sanaa that she's hopeful a "black woman will take the money home" this season, and that the two of them plus Kiyana could make it a reality. Sanaa continues being socially popular throughout the night, spending time with oldest contestant Daneil, sitting on his lap as they share drinks and engage in flirty behaviour. Daneil confesses that he's always been someone who appeals to younger women, joking that this will benefit him throughout the trip. Those who remain at the bar continue drinking for several hours longer, with Dixie seemingly going harder than anyone; spending much of her time dancing on table tops and being drunkenly escorted to the RV site by Ocean and Sanaa.

The next morning, the road trippers are gifted 'Johnny cakes'; a corn flatbread that is commonly consumed in Jamaica. Several road trippers pass on the food, still suffering from the quantities drank the night before. Dixie in particular appears dishevelled, with her signature orange eyeshadow smeared across her forehead and her hair appearing matted and unkempt. Over breakfast, Ross and Jamari talk about being two of three LGBT men on the tour (Brandon being the third). Ross seems to be getting flirty with Jamari, mentioning in a confessional that Jamari is "a whole snack". Despite Jamari reciprocating the flirtatious behaviour, he describes this as "game" in his confessional, knowing that he's got to use his looks and any sex appeal to his advantage. The group receive texts off Lincoln and Sinead, informing them that they need to travel to the town of Ocho Rios, where they'll be escorted to the famous Dunn's River Falls; a waterfall that empties into the Caribbean Sea. Whilst everyone begins packing their belongings away to get ready for the two-hour journey; Brodie begins lecturing everyone and giving advice on how to win a daily challenge. Although initially getting laughs off those who falsely assume she is being ironic, Brodie's bizarre arrogance after a single daily win begins to annoy the group, who opt to block her out and let her ramble on as they get ready for the drive. Sanaa remarks in Dutch to Dixie that "She (Brodie) and her poor attempt at dreads need to go back to Oz", causing a hungover Dixie to giggle as she piles into the RV.

On the journey to Dunn's River Falls, Ocean and Jamari spend time bonding over their shared black LGBT social identities, highlighting the importance for themselves and Ross to be seen by younger black LGBT individuals. Jamari goes on to joke that he'd rather avoid too much pressure on that, reiterating that ultimately everyone represents themselves before anything else. As the pair continue to talk, Adam shouts back from the front of the RV to check how "everyone (at the back) is doing", interrupting the flow of conversation and grating on Ocean. Ocean calls Adam "a bit annoying", laughing with Jamari at how socially unaware some people are. She says that his life "sleeping in a field" has left him awkward, which Jamari agrees with. However, Ocean and Adam eventually swap places in the RV, giving Jamari time to bond with Adam over their mutual love for adventure and travelling and an interest in spiritualism. Jamari privately confesses that he may have misjudged Adam, and that he "(doesn't) want to be too quick to write anyone off, especially in a social game". After arriving in Ocho Rios, the thirteen road trippers are escorted to Dunn's River Falls where Lincoln and Sinead are waiting for them in custom made safety wetsuits. Sinead explains that for this daily challenge, contestants must walk up a laid out path on the rocky slopes of the falls that is 80 metres in length. The goal of the challenge is to get up the path in the quickest time possible, whilst balancing a chickens egg on a spoon. Lincoln tells the group that whoever gets furthest without losing their egg (or finishing in the fastest time) will be declared the winner, earning themselves immunity from the first repatriation and an all expenses getaway in Jamaica (identical to Brodie's). As usual, the daily loser will find themselves nominated for the first repatriation, facing off against Garrett in the vote taking place later on.

After receiving a brief training session and getting into their safety wetsuits and helmets, the contestants take turns on the road trip's take on an egg and spoon race. The group are drawn to determine the running order, with Brandon going first and slipping just ten seconds into his time, losing his egg and putting him in danger. Hungover Dixie also struggles in the challenge, screaming at the force of the water and confessing that she's scared if she falls she'd 'die'. Jamari impresses the group after his run is successful, making it to the end without dropping his egg and giving the others an idea as to what speed and precision they should move with. In the end, only Erin is able to match his success and reach the end, with everybody else dropping their eggs or slipping during their run. Post-challenge, Lincoln reveals that Erin has beat out Jamari's time and earnt herself the daily win, joining enemy Brodie in safety for this week. Sinead then reveals that it was Dixie who made the least distance before dropping her entire spoon, automatically placing her up for repatriation against Garrett. Sinead goes on to explain that the group have just one hour at sundown to converse and determine who between Garrett and Dixie will be getting their vote to leave the road trip, and that they'll convene at the foot of the falls around a campfire to find out who that'll be. Daneil joins Jamari and Brandon to discuss the vote, feeling as though he's got a positive bond with both nominees, and wanting to know where the other men's heads are at. Jamari claims to be voting for Garrett, as he's been unable to bond with him and instead gets a "warmer" vibe off Dixie. Brandon says he'll be voting for Dixie, as he sympathises with Garrett losing a task so trivial. Daneil remains unsure, mentioning in a confessional that he had felt both nominees were potential allies for him, and that this puts him in a difficult position. Garrett himself tries some campaigning, approaching Adam and giving his case as to why he should stay. Easily convinced, Adam tells Garrett that he'll help him try and get enough votes to stay, which Garrett is grateful for. At the vote, those eligible begin casting their key fobs for who they want to leave the road trip, with both nominees unsure of their fate after getting very little time to campaign. In the end, although Dixie's partying may have hindered her chances of performing well in the challenge, they prove to have been enough to socially get her support, saving her in a 6-3 vote after only Adam, Brandon and Kiyana vote to keep Garrett. Garrett seems upset by the news, having not expected to be the first one off the tour. Nevertheless, his luggage is removed from the RVs, which quickly head back to the centre of Ocho Rios after the group say their goodbyes, leaving the seasons first victim alone at the foot of the falls.

Episode #3 - Love-Haiti Relationship
Following Garrett's elimination, the group spend the night in Ocho Rios so that they can rest before a long day of travel ahead. The next morning, the twelve road trippers head to Ian Fleming International Airport, boarding a one hour flight to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Whilst on the flight, Ocean speaks with Kiyana about her desire for a female winner this season, a sentiment that Kiyana admits to having spoken to others about. The women agree that working together will be paramount for their success, especially as after Garrett's boot they're still 6-6 with the men. Upon arrival in Haiti, the group are informed by Lincoln that they'll be granted new RVs for this portion of the trip. The group then head to the Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien; a museum dedicated to Haitian culture, history and those who fought for its independence. A one-hour tour is given to the road trippers, in which they're shown the horrors of slavery and its monumental impact on Haitian history. Jamari opts to make a joke concerning Henri Christophe (a key figure in the Haitian revolution), calling him "a baddie", leading to confusion with the tour guide who assumes Jamari is trying to vilify Christophe, leading to an awkward encounter. Sinead reminds the group after the incident to be respectful, with many of those on the tour feeling irritated with Jamari for his comment. Kiyana and Ocean both become teary upon seeing the chains used to hold slaves, admitting that it's difficult to see what 'her people' went through. Despite the sensitivity of the matter, Brodie rolls her eyes at the girls crying; stating in a confessional that she felt it was done to make the situation about them and gain sympathy.

Once the tour has finished, the group are given some free time to explore Port-au-Prince and grab themselves lunch before heading to their next daily challenge. Over lunch, Adam and Kiyana both join Dixie in conversation where they speak openly about having cast their votes against her at the first repatriation vote. Dixie takes no offence to this, understanding their reasons after such little time was given to deliberate, knowing that to take offence would do her no social favours in the game moving forward. Still feeling somewhat emotional, Ocean speaks to Ross about their experience at the museum. However, she is horrified after Ross seems somewhat numb to what he saw, confessing that he doesn't see why she and Kiyana got so upset. Ocean is infuriated by this, telling Ross that as a black man he should be more receptive to these things. Ross scolds Ocean for 'policing' his blackness, and that he joined the road trip to enjoy himself rather than to be made depressed by history he cannot change. The two bicker over this, with Ocean stating that the cultural journey of the road trip is the most pivotal factor, and that Ross is ignorant for not seeing this. Ross gets up and leaves the conversation, referring to Ocean as controlling and crazy as he does so. Ross is pulled over by Jamari and Dixie (who have once again spent time bonding), the pair hear Ross out as he rants about Ocean, to which Jamari and Dixie try to calm him down and explain that it was likely a misunderstanding. Jamari reminds Ross that it's not good to fight others publicly on the tour, especially with a daily challenge ahead in which the winner will nominate somebody for repatriation. Ross tells the pair he'll remain calm, but promises that if he wins he'll be "throwing Ocean out" of the game.

Lincoln and Sinead meet the road trippers at a local Haitian marketplace where they inform everybody that today they'll be undertaking another daily challenge, and that for the first time this season the winner of the challenge will have the power to nominate somebody for repatriation. As usual, the individual who places last will be automatically nominated and eligible to be the second person to leave the road trip. Sinead tells the group that for this challenge they will be introduced to the world of Haitian Vodou; a syncretic religion that developed from West and Central African religions over 500 years. Lincoln explains that the group will be shown a series of vèvè (a religious symbol), and must memorise the order they were shown in before revealing this order back. If an individual is correct on the vèvè - then they will move on, if incorrect - they are eliminated. In Round 1, all twelve are able to memorise the three vèvè shown, securing everyone's safety for the second round. However, in Round 2; Brandon, Errol and Kiyana all get the third vèvè incorrect, eliminating them from the challenge in joint last place. By the fourth round, only Brodie, Daneil, Erin and Jamari remain in the competition, with Daneil being eliminated in fourth place. Both women hope to win to continue their winning streak, whilst Jamari hopes to snag victory after coming so close in the second daily. In the end, Brodie proves to have the best memory, beating out the others to secure her second daily win of the season. A tiebreaker takes place between those eliminated in last place, with Kiyana being eliminated first and therefore automatically being nominated for repatriation. Brodie is told that she must now select somebody to face Kiyana in the vote, not hesitating to name Erin as this individual despite her coming joint second in the challenge. Erin is unsurprised at this, having planned to nominate Brodie herself after their argument in the art class on the first day of the road trip. Lincoln wishes both Erin and Kiyana luck, letting them and the group know that they have the afternoon to explore Port-au-Prince before meeting back at the RVs at sundown where they'll cast their votes to repatriate the second member of the trip.

Having just avoided coming last in the daily for the second straight time, Brandon begins to worry that the reality of him facing a repatriation vote is very likely. He decides to use his free afternoon socialising with as many people on the tour as possible, hoping that if his bonds are good enough that he'll remain safe regardless. This proves to work in his favour, with almost the entire group feeling positive on Brandon by the end of the day. Other almost last-place finisher Errol is joined by Jamari as they walk around the market. Jamari tries to get quieter Errol to open up more, noting that he's not been as social as others the past few days. Errol claims to be a naturally shy person, but that after today he realises he needs to get more involved or else his time could be cut short; something he wants to avoid before reaching his families native Dominican Republic. In a confessional, Errol claims that his strategy had initially been to lay low and let the loud individuals take one another out, but that after almost losing and being called "quiet" by Jamari, he knows he's got to emerge and start finding allies or else he could be an easy target for those that win dailies. Both Erin and Kiyana work hard trying to rally votes in their favour, not wanting to have their time cut short after just three days on the tour. Kiyana works on the angle of both 'female votes' and 'black votes', knowing both would be more than enough to keep her around. She is also pleased to receive support off Adam, who she suspects may have a slight crush on her after bonding with him the first few days. Alternatively, Erin works on those she's bonded with (namely Daneil and Sanaa), as well as making a plea that she has the capability to win dailies and will only target Brodie from here on out. At sunset, the group gather at the RVs and begin casting their votes, having considered both girls' arguments before making their decisions. Ultimately, Kiyana's social-identity angles appear to pay off, as she is saved in a unanimous 9-0 vote against Erin. Erin takes the news well albeit disappointedly, hugging everyone but Brodie goodbye. Daneil tells her that he and others had wanted to save her, but that as it "wouldn't have been enough" they stuck with the majority, which Erin understands. After removing her things from the RV, Erin happily exclaims that the group should send Brodie home, laughing as both vehicles drive off into the night.

Episode #4 - Baseball Bigotry
Throughout the night, the RVs drive the group several hours across the boarder into the Dominican Republic; a nation that shares its home on the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. In the first RV, Adam drives and sits with Errol up front, whilst Brandon, Ocean and Dixie chat and rest in the back. Ocean takes the time to socially integrate herself with both the individuals, bonding with Dixie over their love for 'alternative' fashion and makeup, hoping that by doing this her wishes of an all-female type alliance will be all the more likely. Additionally, Ocean begins building a bond with Brandon, who she feels of the men is more likely to be open to working with the women. After a positive conversation, Brandon decides to take a nap next to the two women, leading Ocean to grab a piece of paper to communicate with Dixie. She begins writing notes where she proposes the two of them align with Sanaa, Kiyana, Brandon and Jamari. Dixie writes back that she is happy to join this alliance, with Ocean then proposing that Dixie work on socialising with Brandon to strengthen their bonds with the men (despite the 'core' of their alliance being the women).

In the early hours of the morning, the group arrive in Santiago de los Caballeros; the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic. After being given a few hours to nap and rest, the group are taken through the city to a local restaurant where they're treated to a Dominican lunch nicknamed 'La Bandera' (meaning 'The Flag'). The breakfast itself being made up of meat, rice and salad in colours which represent the red, white, green and blue of the Dominican Republic's flag. Errol is eager to share his knowledge and excitement of the food and culture, as his family moved to Miami from the Dominican Republic in the 80's, calling the country his "other home". Errol begins conversing in Spanish with the restaurant workers, getting special dishes brought out to the group for everybody to try. Seeing the abundance of food, Ross jokes that "it's no wonder he's so big"; a jibe at Errol's weight. This joke doesn't go over well with those that hear it, finding Ross' humour both unnecessary and rude. Heeding Ocean's advice, Dixie begins having flirty-banter with Brandon over lunch, which he is more than happy to reciprocate. Both are shown in confessionals to call the flirting 'fun but strategic' on their part, somewhat aware that the other is likely up to the same scheme. After lunch, Lincoln and Sinead tell the group that they'll be heading for a sightseeing tour of Santiago; giving them the opportunity to see the history and culture of the Dominican Republic.

After a short walk, the group arrive at the Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración; a monument dedicated to the independence of the Dominican Republic. The group are able to take group photos by the monument, with Daneil taking a close photo next to Sanaa and Dixie. Jamari jokes that Daneil is 'resident pervert' in his confessional, pointing out that he gets creepy older man vibes off him and his closeness to the younger girls on the tour. Despite this, he claims to like Daneil, although he is happy to make this joke to others, not aware of the likelihood that such a comment will get back to and insult Daneil himself. Ocean gets Dixie, Sanaa, Kiyana, Brandon and Jamari with her to take a photo, jokingly getting them to whisper 'final six' after their plans of an alliance have begun taking shape throughout the day. After two hours of walking around the monument, Lincoln ushers the group towards the Estadio Cibao; a stadium that houses the Águilas Cibaeñas baseball team. Upon arrival, a stadium representative explains to the group that baseball is the national sport of the Dominican Republic, and that today they'll be taking part in two-trials. Firstly, the group will be split into male and female heats, where they'll be pitched a baseball that they have just three attempts to hit; the goal being to hit the ball the furthest feet. Based on how far the furthest ball is hit, players will be ranked (by sex) and given points based on this tier (i.e. furthest receives 6 points). Based on this ranking, the top male and female will go head-to-head as will the bottom male and female, which will ultimately determine the daily winner and loser, with the latter being automatically nominated for repatriation. For the men; Ross surprises everyone by getting two good swings, earning himself the top position over Jamari and Errol. Daneil misses all three of his pitched balls, earning himself last place for the men. For the women; only Ocean is able to hit all three balls and in doing so gets hers the furthest, whilst both Brodie and Kiyana tie for last place after missing all three, placing them against Daneil in the next round.

Sinead explains that for the next round, the two top performers and the bottom three will face-off against themselves as an automatic pitching machine fires balls at them, with the simple goal being to connect their bat to the ball. The individuals who connect the most will be safe, whilst the person with the least (from the bottom three) will automatically face repatriation. However, it is then explained by Lincoln that the catch of today will be that all five will compete in this challenge whilst dressed as El Aguilita; the eagle mascot of the Águilas Cibaeñas baseball team. The bottom three players go first, with Daneil managing to connect with three of the ten balls during his turn. His score is ultimately surpassed by both Brodie and Kiyana, who manage to get five and four respectively. For the top two, a close battle takes place between rivals Ocean and Ross, but in the end girl-power wins out as Ocean beats him with eight balls to seven. Despite losing fairly, Ross begins immediately ranting and raging at the challenge, calling it "stupid and unfair", as well as pointing out that almost all his balls went further than Ocean's. Lincoln reminds Ross that the challenge was to connect with the balls rather than to hit them far, leading Ross to continue his tirade against Ocean, calling it stupid that she had an advantage by being in "the women's section". This comment receives an immediate harsh response off the entire tour, who openly scold Ross for his bigoted insinuation. Ocean laughs off the comment, telling everyone that it's fine and that he knows he'll be nominated against Daneil. Sinead asks if this is to be confirmed, to which Ocean states that it is, resulting in Ross continuing his slanderous remarks against both Ocean and the production of the challenge. Members of the tour once again start speaking up, calling Ross' bigotry out and telling Lincoln and Sinead that "they're ready to vote and send him home". After a few minutes, it becomes apparent that Ross has dug himself into a hole too deep to escape, with Sinead happy to ask the entire group if anybody needs time to deliberate or if they "should just get to it". Despite Jamari somewhat hesitating (due to his friendship with Ross), the pressure of the entire tour giving verbal confirmation that they'd be voting Ross off leads him to follow suit, eliminating Ross in a verbal unanimous 8-0 vote. Ross seems to lack care for the result, walking off without wishing anyone well. Sinead reminds the group that even though everyone will have their own beliefs and feelings, that Road Trip has always been about exploring diversity and culture in an appropriate and respectful manner; thanking the group for speeding up the process and removing bigotry from her trip. With no further need for game-related events, Lincoln tells the group they'll all have a free afternoon around Santiago, and that they'll be moving on to a new city in the morning.

Episode #5 - Mall Brawl
Several hours after Ross' unconventional elimination; the road trippers find themselves back at the RVs where they're spending a quiet night socialising after having some food delivered from a local restaurant. Conversation between the group seems to centre around 'modern nomad' Adam, who is irritating quite a few individuals with his views on the environment, which include opposition to deodorant and most hygiene products. The group discuss how Adam has a 'body odour' issue, and that it's uncomfortable spending long travelling hours with somebody who 'doesn't wash properly'. Adam further annoys the group after he claims that washing more than twice a week is "wasting water", to which Brandon suggests they need to encourage him to spend time swimming each day. Later on, Brandon and ally Ocean sit together privately to discuss the day's events; in particular the fight between herself and Ross. Brandon tells Ocean that whilst he sympathises with her anger towards Ross, that they need to keep headstrong in public and not draw attention to themselves, as it could give others a reason to regard them as threats and ultimately cause the alliance harm. However, Ocean doesn't take this well, scolding Brandon for "punching above (his) weight" by commenting on the issue, saying that as a 'cis-male' he has no right to give his opinion. The pair continue to bicker, with Brandon feeling that Ocean is too reactionary for her own good, whereas Ocean feels Brandon may not be as useful of an ally as she had originally hoped.

The next day, the group travel via RV to the Dominican Republic's Capital city; Santo Domingo. Upon arrival, Lincoln and Sinead tell the group that they'll immediately be heading to their next daily challenge. The group are escorted to the Ágora Mall, a large shopping centre located in the capital. Each contestant is given a list of eight items, all of which can be purchased from multiple retailers inside the mall. Sinead explains that the group will have ninety-minutes to purchase these items (with spending money provided), and that after ninety minutes the individual with the most items will be declared the winner. However, the catch is that to afford all items, contestants must barter and find the item as cheaply as possible, otherwise the task may likely be impossible. Lincoln tells the group in the case of a tie with number of items, whoever spends the least amount of money of those individuals will be declared the winner. Alternatively, the individual to retrieve the least items (or spend the most of those tied with the least) will automatically face repatriation. Some contestants immediately begin working together to locate items, whilst others such as Adam, Brodie and Jamari head off completely alone. Kiyana and Sanaa both stick close to fluent Spanish speaker Errol, hoping that following him will give them the best possible chance of safety. Kiyana and Sanaa negotiate with Errol that they will always pay somewhat more on their items if he can help them through the task, giving them safety but ultimately handing him the win. Errol accepts this offer, joking that having two ladies in a negotiation will help their cause. Kiyana however makes a grave error during the task, leaving two of her items unattended as she runs for a bathroom break and ultimately finds them gone upon her return, leading to her pleading with mall security to no avail. Jamari appears to have luck on his own in the task, managing to use charm and minimal Spanish to usher help off local men and women in locating the items. Alternatively, Adam's laissez faire approach and Brodie's attempts at shouting in English both go down poorly with the locals, who are less willing to engage with them.

After ninety minutes of bargain hunting chaos come to an end, the group hand in their items and money to be counted, sitting outside a small fast-food restaurant as they await their results. Lincoln announces to Kiyana that both her missing items were eventually handed into lost property, but ultimately will not count towards her total. However, she is revealed to be safe with four items (tied with Dixie and Ocean) being more than Adam and Brodie's joint-last score of three. Lincoln then announces that Brodie spent more on three items than Adam, thus automatically placing her up for repatriation. Sinead reveals that Errol, Jamari and Sanaa all correctly found seven of the eight items and have placed at the top, with Errol's advantage paying off as he is declared the winner of the daily challenge. Lincoln tells Errol that he must immediately decide who will be facing-off against Brodie in the repatriation vote, and ultimately become the last person to leave before the jury phase of the game. Errol quickly calls Jamari to one side, wanting to speak with him in private. Errol whispers to Jamari that he'll be placing him up for repatriation 'as a decoy' to ensure Brodie's elimination, citing her attitude as being too annoying to want to keep around. Jamari is immediately angered by this, pleading with Errol to pick somebody else, feeling as though a pawn is not a wise move to make in this game. However, Errol assures him that he'll be safe due to his popularity and the fact that nobody on the trip likes Brodie. Minutes later, Errol confirms his decision in front of everyone, leaving Jamari silently fuming as Lincoln and Sinead tell the group they'll be heading to the Three Eyes National Park for the remainder of the day and the evening's vote. In a confessional, Errol admits that his plan is both the truth and a bluff, citing no care if Jamari is to leave the game as he perceives him as a threat, but also isn't bothered if Brodie leaves either as it "keeps the peace" on the tour. As the group head to the RVs for the journey, Jamari speaks to closest-ally Brandon, quietly ranting to him that "something is up", clueing into Errol somewhat lying about his intentions. Brandon suggests that they speak with Dixie to assure that their alliance will be voting Brodie. However, Jamari snaps at this idea in paranoia, no longer having trust in the group, telling Brandon that Dixie is 'playing hard' with multiple allies and that she probably cannot be trusted either.

On the journey to the caves, Brodie begins campaigning for her place in the game by speaking to Daneil and Brandon in the back of their RV. She tells the pair that she's an honest player and that ultimately would never put either of them up for repatriation if she were to win, instead citing Adam and Ocean as her two targets. Daneil agrees with her beliefs of targeting Ocean, feeling as though she has an untrustworthy vibe and "talks strategy too much". Brandon admits to the pair that he argued with Ocean the previous evening after telling her to tone down her strategic-aggressiveness, believing that she will be her own undoing now others are clued into it. Arriving at the caves, the group change into their bathing suits and enjoy time swimming and relaxing in lagoon waters, which Lincoln tells them were featured in 'Jurassic Park III'; although Sinead claims this is hardly impressive as "it was the worst film in the series". At the water, Sanaa receives attention off Adam, who compliments her figure and proceeds to flirt with her for up to an hour. Despite the 'hygiene issues', Sanaa admits to enjoy the attention off Adam, feeling he's actually attractive and could be a fun tool for her in the game. Whilst swimming, Kiyana observes what she perceives to be paranoia from Jamari, feeling as though he is questioning the alliance and could pose a bigger threat to it than Brodie. Kiyana pulls Sanaa, Dixie and Ocean to one side, privately telling them that she believes it would be a good time to blindside Jamari from the game, and instead pull in Brodie to make their group five women. Sanaa tells the group that she is aware Daneil is voting for Brodie to stay, but that she knows Adam and Brandon are locked in saving Jamari. Ocean scolds both girls for this idea, telling them that it's too soon to be turning on their own members, and that she doesn't like the idea of voting out another black player (although Kiyana then points out that Ocean had caused Ross' elimination). After several minutes, it becomes clear that the girls are not agreeing on the vote, with Kiyana telling Sanaa and Dixie that she's "going for it" in blindsiding Jamari. Sanaa admits she too will do the same out of fear in handing numbers to the men, leaving Dixie conflicted on sticking with the girls or keeping closer-ally Jamari. At sunset, the group gather in their bathing suits next to the lagoon to cast their votes, which when revealed come to a 3-3 split, with Dixie's final vote determining who will leave the game. In the end, Dixie chooses her own personal loyalties over the girls' numbers, removing Brodie from the game. Daneil, Errol, Kiyana and Sanaa all look nervous upon the result, feeling as though the repurcussions of this failed move on Jamari may come back to bite them very quickly. Brodie seems in good spirits in saying her goodbyes, doing a cannonball into the lagoon and strangely refusing to surface until the group depart. The final nine head back to the RVs to dry off and camp up for the night, knowing that with the jury now beginning the game is to sure become more cutthroat.

Episode #6 - Drown and Out
Following Brodie's elimination, the group find themselves back at the RV campsite where several contestants have already managed to get to sleep. Daneil and Brandon both remain awake, with the latter listening to Daneil explain why he had voted Jamari out of the game and had wanted to keep Brodie around in order to "go after Ocean". In his confessional, Brandon claims to see Daneil's side of this argument, but ultimately worries that he is part of another alliance or group targeting his closest ally Jamari. His paranoia grows stronger after he realises that his own supposed allies Kiyana and Sanaa were apart of the failed move, causing him to reach the assumption that the final six alliance is finished. The next morning, the group drive to Santo Domingo's ferry port where they board the Ferries Del Caribe, which will be a thirteen hour ferry journey to the city of San Juan on the United States' overseas island territory Puerto Rico. Aboard the ferry, some contestants continue to sleep and get as much rest as possible, whilst others spend time socialising in the communal areas. Adam and Daneil sit with one another and discuss their lives back in the United Kingdom, with Daneil privately confessing that several years prior he underwent lifesaving surgery and chemotherapy after having been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He tearfully laments being told by the doctors that his chances of survival were "around fifty percent", but hails the NHS and a positive mindset with being what ultimately saved him, and that the road trip is his first time being abroad since his recovery, having seen the initial seasons during treatment and promising himself that he would recover, apply and win the show.

Towards the end of the ferry ride, a still annoyed Ocean confronts Sanaa, who she still has yet to properly debrief with after she tried to blindside Jamari at the last vote. Sanaa apologises to Ocean, claiming that she had wanted to keep the men from gaining numbers, as their original plan had been women-strong rather than protecting 'two men' (Brandon and Jamari). Ocean angrily tells Sanaa that by protecting Brandon and Jamari the core-four would have an easy ride to the end, but that now 'thanks to (her) and Kiyana' this is jeopardized. Sanaa panics under the pressure from Ocean, and decides to pass her attention elsewhere by outing that she had earlier been told by Daneil (who had trusted Sanaa) that he wanted to keep Brodie in order to get Ocean out of the game. She goes on to claim to be pleased that Brodie left as a result, as she now realises Brodie and Daneil were hatching a plan to try and get Ocean eliminated. Ocean is angered by this information, telling Sanaa that the girls need to try and regroup somehow and get the men to turn on each other, starting with Daneil. Sanaa continues to panic that her vote against Jamari may have damaged her standing in the game, and continues on her path of 'damage control' by speaking to everyone on the tour, throwing different individuals under the bus to each one. However, a lot of people realise what she is up to, and quickly begin to find her scatty gameplay irritating and untrustworthy. In the evening, the ferry arrives at San Juan and the group and their RVs are brought to a local area where they're staying for the night. Lincoln messages the group to let them know that they have an evening to themselves, and that their next daily challenge will not be until the following morning. The group head out to a local restaurant and do their best to enjoy their meals, but the tension between everyone following the last 24 hours remains apparent.

In the early morning sun, Lincoln and Sinead have the group meet them on San Juan Playa beach, where they'll all changed into their swimsuits and lifejackets for the daily challenge. Lincoln explains that each player will head into a small squared off area of water in kayaks, and that the goal of the challenge is to simply avoid falling out of their kayaks. Each contestant is armed with a paddle and a plastic jug for bailing/throwing water. Sinead explains that this will be a contact sport in the sense that pushing and grabbing is allowed, but that no contestant may use violence or their paddles as a weapon. Sinead randomly draws everyone into groups of three (with the first out of each group going into the bottom-set tiebreaker, and the winners of each group going into the top-set tiebreaker). Group 1 consists of Adam, Brandon and Kiyana. Kiyana quickly distances herself from the boys, letting them instead fight it out, with muscular Adam easily overpowering slim-built Brandon and tipping him out of his kayak. Adam claims victory over Kiyana soon after, putting him into the final round. Group 2 consists of Dixie, Errol and Jamari, with Dixie easily being tipped out by the boys within a minute of the round beginning. The round goes on for some time, with neither Errol or Jamari appearing to weaken. In the end, Errol uses his weight to his advantage and manages to push the front of Jamari's kayak down so that water comes flooding in, putting him into the final with Adam. Group 3 consists of Daneil, Ocean and Sanaa, with Daneil comedically losing a brief struggle with Ocean, putting him at risk. Despite Sanaa looking panicked, Ocean's forceful movements end up ironically tipping her out of her own kayak, giving Sanaa the win by default. In the winners matchup, Sanaa tries to stay back to let Adam and Errol go head to head, but in doing so her kayak leaves the challenge area and she is disqualified by Sinead. A brief struggle takes place between Adam and Errol, with Adam flicking water in Errol's face, angering Errol and giving him the strength to tip Adam out of his kayak and claim his second straight daily win. In the losers matchup, Daneil, Dixie and Brandon all seem cautious, with none of them wanting to slip up and be the first eliminated. Due to the solid relationship between all three, they agree to instead do their own competition, declaring that they should all stand and see who falls first. In doing so, Dixie is unable to stand and falls from her kayak, automatically placing her up for repatriation. Lincoln and Sinead gather the wet contestants on the beach, asking Errol to once again select who will be facing repatriation. After the drama around Jamari's nomination, Errol decides to play it safe and nominate less socially connected player Adam, hoping that it'll burn the fewest bridges in the game.

After Errol's decision, Lincoln tells the group that he and Sinead will join up with a local chef to prepare a beach barbecue of 'Pinchos de Pollo'; Puerto Rican-style chicken skewers. Sinead informs everyone that once their beach dinner is complete in a matter of hours, that they'll be casting their votes for either Adam or Dixie to leave the game. Adam immediately looks to those he feels closest to on the tour for support, before going around to speak to those he's less connected to, knowing he needs a total of four votes to stay in the game. During the campaigning, Errol and Brandon talk about the decision to put Adam up. Brandon agrees that it was definitely a clean choice, as nobody would be too fussed about seeing him leave. Errol admits that he is hoping to reconcile with Jamari, and that in nominating Adam it will show him that he truly intended Brodie to leave at the previous vote. Nervous at the prospect of leaving, Dixie approaches Brandon, Jamari, Sanaa and Ocean for their votes, feeling confident that she has the four of them on her side moving forward. However, she begins to worry after realising that Adam has a decent relationship with both Daneil and Kiyana, who Dixie also feels should be on her side. Dixie pulls the pair to one side and decides to begin cultivating a lie to turn them on Adam, telling them that she's heard Adam telling others he has both their votes locked, further lying that Adam has told people the three of them are "an alliance". Kiyana and Daneil are both annoyed by this statement, calling Adam delusional and confirming that neither of them have ever entered an official alliance with him. Dixie continues this scheming gameplay throughout the afternoon, stating in a confessional that she doesn't enjoy lying about Adam, but that in this scenario it's "kill or be killed". After the skewers have been consumed, the group cast their votes one by one and are revealed to have once again come to a unanimous decision, eliminating Adam in a 6-0 vote. Adam seems upset to have failed to get a single vote on his side, but remains positive as he wishes the entire group well. Dixie breathes a sigh of relief, glad to have had the support of her six person 'alliance' and friend Daneil, affirming in her mind that her social game is going well. Adam removes his luggage from the RV, heading off in a taxi to be sequestered as the first juror. The final eight remain with Lincoln and Sinead on the beach, enjoying the remainder of their Puerto Rican barbecue alongside local music as the sun sets over San Juan.

Episode #7 - Banged Up Abroad
After a night of partying on the beach, the final eight contestants are risen early to make the complex trip from San Juan, Puerto Rico to the island nation of Saint Kitt's and Nevis, having to go by shuttle, flight and ferry to reach the countries capital; Basseterre. Whilst on the flight, Ocean annoys the group after she complains about a supposed lack of leg room, leading to her criticising the airline staff and causing a scene. Her attitude both annoys and embarrasses the rest of the tour, who sit and listen as the staff try to explain that the flight is full and that she cannot be moved. Ocean refuses to back down from her plight, ultimately leading much larger and taller member Errol to offer to swap seats, insisting that he doesn't mind somewhat cramped leg room for a 'pretty short' flight. The entire group is grateful to Errol for this selflessness, bringing an end to the awkwardness on the plane. Errol later admits privately that whilst this may appear to have been strategic on his part, he truly did it just so ""Ocean would shut the hell up". Arriving in Basseterre, Lincoln and Sinead supply each tour member with a sponsored tourist camera, telling them that their daily task will be based around photography. Each member of the tour can take just three photos throughout the day of sites they'll be shown, submitting one at the end of the day to be judged by their local guides. The individual with the best photograph will be awarded the win, whilst the photograph deemed the worst will secure that individual automatic nomination for repatriation.

The group are driven to Romney Manor, a former plantation house with botanical gardens which will act as their home for their duration on the island. Ocean begins fussing that she isn't happy with the nature of staying in a plantation house, lamenting that the history of the location is 'distasteful' and that she would rather not partake. However, with no other accommodation arranged she eventually agrees to share a room with Dixie. In their room, Daneil and Errol talk through Ocean's recent attitude and behaviour, both agreeing that they've had enough of her. Errol admits that other being a dangerous player, he thinks that it's clear she has no intention of working with either of them, and that to get her out would be beneficial for both their games. Both men shake on the agreement that if they're able to win this challenge that Ocean will be their nomination, feeling that this would be the ideal time to strike against her. Knowing that they need the other men on side, Daneil approaches Jamari privately as they walk around the botanical gardens, asking for his view on trying to vote off Ocean after her behaviour on the flight. Jamari agrees that Ocean has been irritating him the last few days, but isn't totally convinced that Ocean should leave after she was one of the key votes that kept him in the game. However, after several more minutes of discussion, Daneil warns Jamari that the four women are likely working closely together, and that to remove one of them now gives the two of them (plus Brandon and Errol) control over who remains in the game.

After unpacking their belongings, the final eight are brought to a tourist 'safari' company, where they'll be driven around the island in a tour of former plantations and Saint Kitt's natural beauty. On the tour, the group remain divided in groups by gender, with the men sitting up front and whispering about ensuring that a girl is the next to go. Brandon and Jamari choose not to leak information that the four girls are working together (along with the pair of them in a final six), but Jamari is adament that if a girl is to go it should be Sanaa. Brandon agrees with this, highlighting Sanaa's attempts at lying after the failed move against Jamari. Both Errol and Daneil claim that they'd rather get Ocean out, having found her personality too grating over the last few days. The men agree that they need to unite on their decision once the challenge is over, as this would be their last opportunity to prevent the four girls taking complete control. At the back of the safari jeep, the four girls equally talk about getting rid of one of the men next. Despite initial plans being that Errol or Daneil should go next, Sanaa and Ocean both discuss feeling that Brandon is the biggest strategic threat, and that it may be best to take him out first. Dixie agrees with this, stating that whilst she gets along with Brandon, she doesn't see the men functioning without him. At the end of the tour, the eight road trippers submit their photographs to the local judges. After deliberating, the results of the task are passed onto Lincoln and Sinead. Daneil, Errol, Kiyana and Sanaa are declared to be the top four photographers, leaving Brandon, Dixie, Jamari and Ocean as the bottom four. Sinead reveals that the judges determined Jamari to have the worst photo, automatically placing him up for repatriation. Lincoln then announces that Sanaa was the judges favourite, giving her the right to decide who will face Jamari in the vote. At this moment, Jamari hopes that the girls will follow their alliance and place Daneil or Errol up against him, certain that he will be able to survive over either men. However, Sanaa blindsides Jamari as she declares 'ally' Brandon to be the next nomination, completely severing the two men from the 'final six' alliance. Both Brandon and Jamari immediately react to the nomination, calling out Sanaa and the other women for betraying the alliance, exposing to Daneil and Errol that the six of them had made a pact to go to the end together. Kiyana argues back with the men, asking if they had tried to align with Daneil and Errol against them. Brandon responds by claiming that Kiyana and Sanaa had broken the alliance by trying to get Jamari out days prior, with the argument continuing to escalate as both sides blame the other for breaking their word first. Lincoln and Sinead eventually intervene as situations remain tense, telling the group that they'll be given some free time before reconvening at sundown; when either Brandon or Jamari will become the second member of the jury.

The group walk as one towards a local bar and restaurant, still arguing between themselves over broken alliances. Errol and Daneil remain silent throughout, realising that in this moment they've both had a lucky escape from what should've been one of their eliminations. Jamari and Brandon privately talk about their predicament, acknowledging that they were duped and outplayed by the girls. Jamari remains angry, calling both Sanaa and Kiyana "bitches", affirming that he'd never let either win the money after their "duplicitous" gameplay. In a confessional, Brandon claims to be unsure as to how the vote will go, knowing that the girls hold all the power in determining who will depart the game tonight. Jamari begins drinking throughout the afternoon, claiming to no longer care about social pretenses for the game. Whilst drunk, he confesses to Brandon that he finds him "cute", getting flirty throughout their final moments together. Despite being flattered, Brandon politely rejects Jamari, who he also finds attractive but doesn't want to take advantage of in this moment. Some local men note Jamari being touchy-feely with Brandon, causing homophobic jibes to be aimed at the pair. Feeling nervous, Brandon exits the bar and opts to wait outside with Dixie and Errol. A rowdy Jamari throws insults back at the men, causing Kiyana to walk over and tell Jamari to stop drinking, berating him for drawing more negativity towards himself. Jamari becomes infuritated with Kiyana in this moment, yelling in her face and releasing all his pent up anger out in a matter of sentences. One man who previously threw insults at Jamari rushes over in this moment to Kiyana's defence, shoving Jamari backwards before Jamari throws a punch and engages in a full-blown physical alteraction with the man. Screams echo around the bar before the cameras cut, with filming immediately ceasing when the fight escalates. An hour later, everyone apart from Jamari are gathered back at the RVs with Sinead. The group remain nervous and shaken after the events, both angry and worried for Jamari in the moment. Sinead explains that the police were called during the fight, and that both Jamari and the other individual involved were arrested as a result of their confrontation. Sinead goes on to explain that Lincoln and other members of production are currently with Jamari at the station doing all they can to support him, noting the homophobic abuse and tense nature of the show causing the situation. Nevertheless, Sinead explains that they will not condone physical violence as a response, and due to the nights events they have no choice but to eject Jamari from the process, as regardless of a vote he will not be able to continue travelling for 'several days' whilst he remains in custody. Brandon begins tearing up, relieved to know he is saved but also heartbroken for his closest friends unprecidented exit from the game. Other members of the tour voice their concerns for Jamari, admitting that even though some of them (notably Kiyana) didn't like Jamari, that they would not wish this situation on anybody. Sinead advises everybody to immediately get some sleep, and that they'll be leaving the island first thing in the morning, pleading with the group that there are no more run-ins with the police for the remainder of the road trip.

Episode #8 - Barge on Through
The final seven competitors are escorted to the airport, where they'll be flown to St. Johns on the island of Antigua. Given the circumstances of the previous day, Lincoln and Sinead both accompany the group on their travel, talking them through a reminder of how to behave on the road trip, as well as giving an update on Jamari. Lincoln informs the group that Jamari is doing well, and that despite his unprecedented exit he will remain a member of the jury and will soon join Adam at the finishing point of the road trip. Knowing that his position in the game is less than secure, Brandon begins conversing with his competitors in order to restablish alliances. He begins by speaking with Errol, coming clean about the six person alliance and their plans to initially vote both him and Daneil out in eighth and seventh place. He assures Errol that both he and Jamari were honest about wanting to get the womens numbers down, not trusting the four of them to take any men with them to the endgame. Errol laments about the men's bad situation, believing that unless two women are nominated next that they'll be picked off one by one. Both men agree that getting Ocean out would be easiest, given that she is the least connected of the four women left. Brandon then joins Daneil, similarly giving him the same story that he just told to Errol. Daneil tells Brandon that although he feels both he and Jamari withheld information, he understands the lack of trust may have come from several rounds prior when Jamari was almost blindsided. Daneil tells Brandon that irregardless of anyones irritation, they have no choice but to work together or "join the jury".

Hours later, the group arrive in St. John's where they're taken to Galley Bay Beach. Lincoln and Sinead have the group change into their swimsuits, before standing them in front of a cordened off area of beach with a large circle drawn in the sand. Each competitor is measured and weighed, before being paired up with a local 'beach brawler' who matches them in both categories. Lincoln explains that the competitors will go head-to-head with their local matchup, and will have three rounds in order to score points. If they are able to get their competitor out of the ring first, they will score 10 points. Additionally, every 10 seconds a road tripper remains in their circle will add a point to their talley. After three rounds, the individual with the most cumulative points will be declared the daily winner, whilst the person with the least will automatically face repatriation. Sanaa and Kiyana go first, shocking everybody by losing all three of their matchups, but hoping the time taken to lose each one will gain enough points to keep them safe. Ocean goes next, winning just one of her matchups, but lasting long enough to convince her that she'll be 'safe' from the bottom. Dixie is the last of the girls to compete, suddenly stopping mid matchup and screaming for help, calling out that her opponent was performing illegal moves in 'strangling' her. Dixie then claims to be dizzy, seeking help off the medical team who wait on standby. The entire group watch on, feeling that she's being dramatic; becoming annoyed when tapes are reviewed and finding that no illegal moves were made. Dixie returns to complete her matchups, losing all three but lasting longer than Kiyana and Sanaa. For the men, Brandon is humorously overpowered by his competitor, causing him to scream for help as he's thrown out of the circle with ease (somewhat mocking Dixie's reaction). Both Errol and Daneil are able to win two out of their three matchups, with the group speculating that the win is likely to come down to the two of them. Sinead gathers the results, announcing that Brandon has placed last and faces repatriation, just losing out to Sanaa. Lincoln then declares Daneil to have accumulated the most points, giving him the right to nominate somebody to face Brandon. Brandon openly tells Daneil to "just do damage control", suggesting that no matter who he puts up that he (Brandon) will be sent home. Daneil calls Ocean out as his nomination, noting their lack of a bond and his belief that she is 'the biggest threat' of those left in the game.

The group are escorted to a nearby port where they board a 'party barge', a barge that will take them 5km off the coast to Sandy Island, with the barge adorned with alcohol and karaoke. On the barge, Brandon sits with fellow nominee Ocean as they bond in what will be one of their final hours in the game. The pair make ammends after straying from their alliance during the last round, with Brandon telling Ocean that whilst she has poor social connections, that he would consider voting her to win if she's able to make it to the final. Ocean appreciates this, hugging Brandon and saying that she'll 'do it for the (LGBT) community'. Knowing that he just needs one girl to flip on Ocean to tie the vote (and that Daneil would save him in the tiebreaker), Brandon approaches Kiyana, telling her that he believes she is in the worst position of the four women. He discusses Dixie and Sanaa's closeness, as well as Dixie and Ocean being annoyed with her after her failed move against Jamari. Kiyana asks Brandon what use it would do to her game if she were to turn on Ocean, to which Brandon says it's better "you strike before she does". Brandon goes on to tell Kiyana that he would promise to take her to the final two if she's able to save him, going further to state that he would happily turn on Daneil if he won a future daily challenge. Kiyana is surprised by this, not certain if the promise makes Brandon more or less trustworthy. Despite his efforts to socialise rather than party, Brandon admits in a confessional as they reach Sandy Island that he "isn't at all confident".

Lincoln and Sinead gather the half-sober group below the lighthouse on Sandy Island, which has already been lit-up as night falls over Antigua. One-by-one, each eligble contestant casts their vote for either Brandon or Ocean to be repatriated. As predicted, Errol casts his vote against Ocean, whilst Dixie and Sanaa cast their votes against Brandon. Kiyana's vote is the last to be revealed, with her vote eliminating Brandon in a 3-1 result. A tearful Brandon nods in acknowledgement of his exit, remaining initially unbitter and hugging everyone goodbye. However, he offers parting advice to the four ladies who were his former allies, telling them "two of you haven't got a shot in hell... unless you're sat together. I'll let you work out who those two are." In a confessional, Kiyana confesses that selfishly she had almost voted to keep Brandon in the game, but in the end prioritised the girls alliance. The final six reboard the party barge, departing Sandy Island as Brandon waves from the shoreline, whilst Lincoln and Sinead duet Vera Lynn's wartime classic 'We'll Meet Again' as they disappear into the night.

Episode #9 - Trouble in Paradise
The morning after Brandon's elimination, a somewhat hungover final six begin the journey to their next island location; Dominica. During the trip, Lincoln informs the group that Dominica is nicknamed 'Nature Island' due to its extensive and protected natural environment. After arriving in Dominica's capital Roseau, the final six are treated to a light Creole-inspired breakfast. As breakfast draws to a close, Sinead and Lincoln inform the group that today they'll be participating in a team-based challenge, with the entire losing team facing repatriation at the hands of the winning team. Each of the final six is given a pint of 'sea-moss', a Dominican drink consisting of seaweed, milk and sweetners. Lincoln warns the group that the drink has quite a strong 'minty' taste, and that the first two to successfully drink the entire pint and show an empty glass/mouth will be declared team captains. Errol is the first to finish his drink with ease, shortly followed by Dixie. Daneil is left heaving as he confesses to 'hating' milk, wiping tears from his face as he struggles to compose himself after two meager sips of sea-moss.

As Errol finished his sea-moss first, he is given first pick to join his team, unsurprisingly selecting closest-ally and other last man standing Daneil. Dixie chooses Ocean for her team, feeling close to her due to their strategic unity, as well as secretly knowing that should they lose - Ocean would certainly be repatriated over her. Errol takes Sanaa as his last choice, believing her to be a better competitor than Kiyana in challenges. Lincoln and Sinead explain that the team challenge will be a race, in which groups must move as a three across a marked path, requiring them to run across sand, jungle, shallow water, abseil down a waterfall before finally emerging on a new beach where they'll release a flare, signalling their victory. Prior to beginning, Team 2 (Dixie's team) worry that being three women could put them at a disadvantage, although Ocean claims to be skilled in cross-country running, noting that Daneil, Sanaa and Errol together doesn't scream "athleticism". As the race begins, both teams remain neck-and-neck up until the jungle portion, where Errol's size and Daneil's age begin to slow them down. As the race continues, Team 2 remain ahead thanks to Ocean's leadership and the other girls keeping up despite tiring. As Group 1 reaches the shallow water, Errol begins hyperventilating, collapsing on the side of the water and seeking medical intervention. Both Daneil and Sanaa appear exhausted, feeling dehydrated in the midday heat. Medical checks over Errol, finding his blood pressure is extremely high and require him to rest for at least five minutes before assessing if he can continue the race. In this time, Team 1 continues to pull ahead, successfully abseiling down the waterfall and reaching the end-point beach. Dixie and Kiyana let Ocean set off the flare, thanking her for leading them to a clear victory.

The losing Team 1 are escorted to the finishing point where Lincoln, Sinead and the three girls are waiting for them. Daneil admits that the three of them failed to get past the shallow water, but informs the group that Errol had a 'medical emergency' and has been cleared by the team. The entire group wish Errol well, accepting his claims that he's going to 'take it easy' for the rest of the day. Dixie, Ocean and Kiyana get cleaned up after their victory, being rewarded with cocktails on the beach as they ponder how to vote. All three girls quickly declare that Sanaa isn't at risk, keeping their loyalties to the women's alliance, leaving it between Daneil and Errol to be repatriated. Kiyana declares her intentions to save Errol (who she prefers), whilst Dixie says the same for Daneil. Ocean is frank about not liking either men, wanting to oust whoever poses a bigger threat to win the next daily challenge. Dixie points out that Errol was able to win two consecutive dailies, but is shut down by Ocean who instead feels as though he poses little threat given his recent health-scare. The conversation quickly turns sour, with both Kiyana and Ocean siding against Dixie, accusing her of trying to save Daneil out of 'selfishness'. Dixie leaves the conversation teary, claiming in a confessional that she feels railroaded by both women, noting that they (in her view) rarely consider her input. Daneil approaches an upset Dixie, offering her a hug and letting her know that he understands the difficult situation, claiming to not hold anything against her should she vote against him.

With the day drawing to a close, Errol approaches Dixie to try and secure her vote, utilising a flirtatious tactic despite her not finding him attractive. Errol tells Dixie that if she can ensure his remaining in the game, he will continue to target Ocean if he's to win again. Lincoln and Sinead gather the final six around a beach campfire, giving the three nominees an opportunity to speak their peace before votes are cast. Errol uses his turn to declare himself a non-threat, pointing out that he may very well end up the next daily loser if he's kept in due to his health. For Daneil, he decides to use his speech to call out Kiyana and Sanaa, telling the latter not to bother giving a speech when "there's no chance of her leaving". Daneil accuses Kiyana of being 'the most self-interested' player, voicing a perception that she is 'running the show'. After a fiery speech, Sanaa laughs her way through a plea of safety, knowing full-well that no one will be voting against her tonight. Ocean and Kiyana confidently cast their votes, whilst a still tearful Dixie hesitates as she places a fob into the box. Lincoln begins revealling the votes, finding that despite Dixie following her heart and voting against Errol, that Ocean and Kiyana's votes have repatriated Daneil in a 2-1 vote. Daneil, having been aware of the result, wishes everyone well, but echos Brandon's words that some of the women are playing a 'losing game'. He hugs ally Errol before departing in his taxi, telling him to fight until the very end, knowing the uphill battle that awaits him as the lone man against a female alliance of four.

Episode #10 - Inflatable Courses, Inflatable Egos
After being given the night to rest in their RV, the final five are woken by a call informing them to drive to the local port and board a ferry. Driving abroad, the five return to their slumber without the knowledge of where they're headed next. Four and a half hours later, the ferry arrives at the island nation of Saint Lucia. Ocean drives the RV off the ferry, following the directions to a nearby clearing where Lincoln and Sinead wait for them. Lincoln and Sinead explain to the group that by the end of the day, they will be down to just four players, with another one of them leaving the road trip and joining the jury. Sinead confirms that everybody will be given three hours of free time, before being required to head to a nearby beach for "a wet daily challenge". Lincoln advises Errol to spend his day resting, reminding him that whilst the medical team cleared him to continue that his blood pressure had been dangerously high during the last daily challenge. Errol opts to take rest inside the RV, leaving the four girls to head out for a light lunch. Errol mentions whilst alone that he doesn't care to socialise, knowing that he's already at the bottom. Therefore, he aims to prioritise resting in order to give him the best odds of winning, which he sees as his only means of survival.

The four girls head to a local restaurant and order snacks and drinks, celebrating that they are just one round away from fulfilling their dream of an all-female final four, and therefore guaranteeing the shows first female winner. In a confessional, Dixie claims to still feel somewhat irritated with the girls for disregarding her opinions, believing that she is at risk of being the first of the four to leave should she not win that daily. Dixie spends lunch securing her already close-friendship with Sanaa, conversing in Dutch to ensure that neither Kiyana or Ocean can intervene in their conversation. After Kiyana and Sanaa head on a bathroom break, Ocean talks to Dixie about noting the 2-2 split between the girls that stemmed from the failed vote-off against Jamari. Ocean warns Dixie that either of the two girls winning over the next few rounds isn't ideal for them, preferring to keep the power instead between themselves. Dixie agrees, admitting that she feels least confident about Kiyana winning. In the bathroom, Kiyana asks Sanaa if she would still want to go to the final two with her, which Sanaa agrees to, feeling it would tick both boxes of a female winner and a black winner. Kiyana hesitantly tells her that she isn't certain what she'd do if she wins, believing that Errol poses little to no threat and that instead it may be the right time to oust Ocean or Dixie. Sanaa is unsure, not wanting to derail their final four plans, but understands that a numbers game may require them to make a move sooner. In a confessional, Sanaa confidently declares herself as being in the best position of the women, believing that all three want to bring her to the end over each other.

An hour later, the four girls reunite with Errol and escort themselves to a local beach, already kitted in their swimsuits. Lincoln and Sinead welcome the final five to Splash Island Water Park, an inflatable obstacle course situated around twenty-metres out into the sea. Lincoln explains that one-by-one, each contestant will run the obstacle course, passing checkpoints along the way. If an individual falls from the course, they must restart from the last checkpoint they passed prior to falling. The individual to complete the course in the fastest time will be given the win, whilst the slowest competitor will automatically face repatriation. Kiyana and Sanaa both struggle on the course initially, unsure of their times after they both fell several times throughout. Alternatively, both Ocean and Dixie feel confident with their times, feeling their slender builds and long legs gave them an edge in getting through the course. Finally, Errol tentatively takes on the course, clearly struggling due to his weight and exhaustion from the last few days. After continuously falling off, an exhausted Errol claims to be certain that his time is the slowest, asking production to tap-out rather than exert himself for a last place already guaranteed. Production oblige to let Errol end his time, confirming that he was already in last place and therefore will automatically face repatriation. Sinead reveals that Dixie managed to beat Ocean's time by fifteen seconds, giving Dixie her first individual daily win. After celebrating, Dixie is told to name which of the other three women she'll be nominating to face Errol in the vote, unsurprisingly deciding on Kiyana. Rather than to admit it is due to feeling mistrust between them, Dixie declares that she simply picked the girl she perceived to have had the slowest time.

Lincoln tells the final five that they'll have just one hour to discuss the vote prior to repatriating either Errol or Kiyana. Errol wastes no time in approaching Sanaa and Ocean, warning both that he is confident Kiyana is beating both should they let her make the end. He singles out Ocean as playing a losing game, pointing out that several jurors feel personally against the idea of her winning, and that this is her last opportunity to change things around. Ocean becomes enraged with Errol for this, telling him that 'threats' wont do him any favours, and instead points out that she has been the only player left to vote correctly every single time, proving that anyone "against (her) winning is simply bitter". Errol laughs at this notion, standing up and telling Ocean she's delusional before walking away, hearing Ocean shout out that she 'hopes he enjoys the jury restbite'. In a confessional, Ocean calls Errol a sore loser, pointing out that men have ruled Road Trip every season, and that their 'fragile egos' need checking every once in a while. After speaking to Kiyana and assuring her of safety, Sanaa approaches Ocean, happy to hear that they're both in agreement to send home Errol. The group reconvene around their beach campfire, where Errol takes a final moment to accuse the girls of wasting opportunities, believing that they are handing the win to Kiyana tonight. He accuses Ocean of flip-flopping, promises to ensure she'll never be crowned champion of the road trip. Both women predictably vote to repatriate Errol, leading to his departure via taxi without saying any further words. Lincoln and Sinead congratulate the four women on making it this far, with Sinead pointing out that for the first time in history they have ensure a female will be declared the winner. Jokingly, Sinead then offers to buy the four women drinks to celebrate, sending Lincoln off to fetch them before the beach-bar closes.

Episode #11 - Paradise Win
Heading into their final days of the road trip, the four remaining girls pack their belongings and head to a small runway where they board a sea-plane headed for Bridgetown, Barbados. The girls remain silent on the flight, instead spending their time looking out the window and taking in the blue waters below. Each of the ladies ponder what lays ahead of them, contemplating by what means it will take for them to become the first female winner of Road Trip. In Bridgetown, the ladies join Lincoln and Sinead on a private bus ride to Carlise Bay, where the six board a private boat tour of 100-year old shipwrecks situated around the bay. The group are also able to view Barbados' vast array of sealife, ranging from turtles to stingrays.

When the tour comes to an end, the boat takes the group to shallower waters where a large underwater shipwreck-puzzle has been scattered. One-by-one, the girls must dive into the water and rebuild the shipwreck-puzzle to mirror that of the real shipwreck they had just been shown. The individual with the fastest time will be awarded the power to nominate somebody for repatriation, facing the individual who finishes in the slowest time. Each girl takes her turn diving in and assembling the underwater puzzle, noting that stopping to catch their breath will only slow them down further. Sanaa visually struggles more than any other girl, unable to catch her breath on multiple occasions, forcing her to swim back to the boat to take a five minute break mid-challenge. The other three girls all appear strong, completing their puzzles within an exhausting twenty-minute period each. All four girls sit together in their towels as they're brought refreshments and a light-lunch aboard the boat, waiting on Lincoln and Sinead to provide the results of the challenge. Both hosts reappear with the final results of the challenge, beginning with the announcement as to which of them has finished last and will automatically face repatriation. Unsurprisingly, Sanaa finishes last with a total time of thirty-three minutes, something which all four girls had expected after her poor performance. Dixie finishes in third place with a time of nineteen minutes, leaving either Kiyana or Ocean to claim the win. Kiyana is revealed to have beaten Ocean with a time of fourteen minutes to fifteen, with less than sixty seconds granting Kiyana her first daily win. In what'll turn into an awkward lunch setting, Kiyana is asked to immediately name who between Dixie and Ocean will face-off against her closest ally Sanaa in the penultimate repatriation. Despite feeling least close to Dixie (particularly after being nominated by her the previous round), Kiyana worries that nominating her will guarantee Sanaa leaves, whereas nominating Ocean could save Sanaa due to her friendship with Dixie. After taking a few moments to consider, Kiyana names Ocean as her nomination, leaving Dixie as the sole vote to determine which of the girls will leave the game.

Ocean is taken aback by Kiyana's decision, openly asking Kiyana "what happened to a black winner?", outing the girls' earlier discussion that they could achieve both the first female and first black winner by giving Dixie fourth place. Kiyana tells Ocean that the move is purely strategic, trying to compliment her with claims that she views her as the biggest competition, all of which falls on deaf ears for Ocean. Ocean and Sanaa are both given an opportunity to plead their cases to Dixie, with Ocean now promising Dixie a final two deal, whereas Sanaa plays on the pairs early friendship and the fact she believes she is 'more honest' than Ocean. Ocean tells Dixie that Sanaa and Kiyana certainly have a final two deal, but is quickly shut down by Dixie questioning if Ocean had been involved in their plans for a 'black winner', evidently something Dixie wouldn't be apart of. As the boat returns to Bridgetown, the girls stand on the dock to await Dixie's decision. Dixie announces that after "things were brought to light", that she is choosing to keep the individual she perceives to be a more genuine friend; voting to eliminate Ocean from the game. A furious Ocean tells Dixie she's made a grave mistake, only wishing Sanaa luck before heading off down the dock, clearly having not expected to be the first of the female alliance to fall. The final three girls are told by Lincoln and Sinead that they'll head to a local hotel for the night, before moving to their final location in the morning, where one of them will become champion of the road trip.

On the final day of the tour, the three girls catch an early morning flight to their final destination; Paradise Island, The Bahamas. The girls are all ecstatic upon realising that on arrival they are being driven to Atlantis Paradise Island; a luxury ocean-themed resort that features multiple lagoons, pools and aquatic rides. The girls are given a few hours to relax and recuperate in Atlantis' pleasure pools, relaxing whilst remaining conscious that a final competition will take place by the end of the day. In a confessional, Dixie admits to being cautious in reviewing her choice to oust Ocean over Sanaa, uncertain whether Sanaa would take her to the end over Kiyana, who according to Dixie 'would definitely' vote her out if she won. Similarly, Kiyana also seems concerned at the prospect of Dixie winning, only feeling confident if the power is kept between her and Sanaa. Of the three, Sanaa remains the most nervous about winning, believing that both Kiyana and Dixie are more loyal to her than one another, believing that it may not be in her best interest to win the final challenge; believing this highlights a superior social game. At sundown, the girls follow a lit torch path down the beach to where Lincoln and Sinead wait for them. 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. Kiyana is revealed to have finished in last place, scoring just five out of ten questions correctly. A 7-7 tie occurs between Dixie and Sanaa, leading to a tiebreaker question. In the end, Dixie wins the tiebreaker and the final daily challenge, giving her sole control over who will become the final juror. Kiyana and Sanaa opt not to campaign against one another in this final moment, instead telling Dixie to do whatever feels right by her. Dixie explains to Lincoln and Sinead that the decision is far from easy, as Kiyana represents a stronger strategic game, whilst Sanaa represents a superior social game, either of which could be the winning formula in the eyes of the jury. However, Dixie says her decision is going to be tilted by what she sees as 'the right thing' in her heart, keeping her Day 1 loyalties to Sanaa by eliminating Kiyana with her vote. Having expected to leave, Kiyana nods, hiding her disappointment as she wishes both girls luck, hugging Sanaa tightly before heading off down the beach.

Final two Dixie and Sanaa sit by the beach-bar as they enjoy a final meal, celebrating their achievement of being both the final two and the first all-female final two in Road Trip history. Moving to a nearby beach-campfire, they are joined by the seven jurors who will now decide their fate (Adam, Brandon, Daneil, Errol, Ocean, Kiyana and a much-welcomed Jamari). Feelings towards the two girls appears mixed on the jury, with there being no clear consensus on who played the better game. Ocean and Kiyana both speak openly in favour of Sanaa, who they credit with playing a strong social game, noting that the two of them plus Dixie all had Sanaa as their choice to go to the final two with. Both girls further go on to criticise Dixie, who they believe lacked control within the female alliance. Alternatively, Brandon and Jamari slam Sanaa's game as being 'poor' and 'dysfunctional', feeling as though she was taken to the end due to being an easy-win, whereas Dixie was able to stay true to herself and beat out three other girls who had plotted to give her fourth place. Further praise is given to Dixie for her ability to survive early losses, growing in confidence and ultimately winning three of the final four daily challenges. However, some jurors feel Dixie lacked self-interested moves, and instead followed through with the girls to her own detriment, as she otherwise would have gotten fourth if Kiyana nominated her, with Ocean confirming that Sanaa would not have left if she was the sole vote. Dixie claims to have played for herself, using examples of her refusal to vote Jamari in round five, and similarly refusing to vote Daneil out after the team challenge. Despite these examples, Ocean calls them 'hollow and meaningless', and further proof that Dixie didn't really impact the game. Dixie responds to this by pointing directly at Ocean and Kiyana on the jury, stating that they need look no further than their positions to "see (her) impact". Sanaa campaigns for herself by reiterating her strong social ties, believing that she was never on anybody's radar and that she was always at the forefront of an alliance that ultimately ran the season. Errol asks Sanaa to clarify who of the girls she'd have taken to the end, to which she replies 'Ocean', going on to note she would have taken Dixie over Kiyana as she saw Kiyana as her 'biggest competition'. Each juror is then instructed to place a key-fob with either 'Dixie' or 'Sanaa' 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 are drawn. Kiyana and Ocean opt to vote Sanaa, believing her game was stronger and supporting their wishes for a black woman to win the game. Betrayed players Brandon and Jamari vote for Dixie, feeling unconvinced by Sanaa's game in comparison to Dixie, who they believe won an uphill battle. Daneil joins the boys in voting for Dixie, having formed a close friendship with her throughout their time in the game. Undecided jurors Adam and Errol end up holding the balance of power, joining the other men in awarding Dixie the win in a 5-2 result, making her the first female winner of the road trip. The group celebrate Dixie's win, with only Ocean and Kiyana showing some signs of bitterness at her claiming the £50,000 prize. As the male jurors pick Dixie up and parade her around the beach, Lincoln and Sinead are seen flicking through the pages of an African travel guide.
