Episode 5 Recap by AP N Tenn
July 18, 2006

First just a quick note to thank Vikingbear for doing a totally awesome job of recapping Treasure Hunters last week. His recap was filled with helpful maps and links to the clues. Kudos to you.
NBC decided to toss a curve ball to fans that are used to watching last week's episode in the hour before the new episode. An episode of Project Runway was shown, I suppose it was for people that have heard of the phenomenal show, but don't have access to Bravo. I loved, loved, loved the premiere of Season 3. I especially found the dress made of coffee filters to be most appealing, I kept wondering if he sewed them on fabric, or just glued them together. It looked so wearable. But I digress.
On Treasures Hunters, the teams are in SC, The Brown family is slowed by one member of their team that has a torn hamstring, and probably didn't pass the initial physical to get on the show anyway, so now it is all catching up with him. The other 2 thinner brothers just sit and watch him leave in the ambulance. Last week the teams have the option of leaving one team member to forge ahead. Team Geniuses are just reaching the point where they can leave their team member, which happens to be the asthma-ridden member of there team. Ex CIA has reached the $30,000 pot of gold first, with all 3 members still on board, so they are the first to arrive at the safe house to begin looking for there next clue. They read the clue about the Quilts that were made famous during the Underground Railroad period. I hope they are replicas since the group just goes ripping the quilts in all types of directions.
Team Southie Boys and Team Fogal all stick together, as Katie of Team Fogal has a total fit while struggling just to walk through the forest, what show did she think she was signing up for? I am sure when NBC explained the concept, they said, much harder than the Amazing Race with no concept on how to solve the clues. We are shown numerous clips of Katie's struggle that started from day one. The father, Pastor Fogal tells the camera that they are used to it, and her issues are probably not as bad as she makes it out to be. Team Air Force comes up behind them, following Katie's screams and surge past teams Southie Boys and Fogal.
Team Miss USA makes it through the swamp, while the lone team member of Genius- Sam, just sits and waits finally his team members have arrived; they have opted not to kick him to the curb. They make it sound like there was not any doubt about leaving them. Team EX CIA continue to search for the clue at the Safe House or 38 minutes, still hunting for the clue, Team Ex CIA mentions that team Air Force is there only real threat, finally they find it, and head to their destination of Charleston South Carolina.
At the theater in South Carolina, team EX CIA is still lost, and just looking around with no idea as to how to find the clue, at the 2 hour and 13 minute mark, Team Air Force arrives, and Ex CIA steps back frustrated that they have been looking so long, so they suggest that team Air Force look around to see what they can come up with. Team Air Force begins blowing on the mirrors, and imagine that, the clue appears. They write down the clue of Pulaski GA, and head off, just as Team Fogal arrives, they say nothing to them, as they begin their search, immediately over looking the mirrors.
Team USA arrive at the Safe house and spend only 49 minutes looking for the clue. Team Genius struggles to make it through the dense forest, as the Browns get a message and ask them if they want to end the hunt, or continue on with a penalty time. One of the brothers call up the injured brother to tell him they are going to continue on with the race, as he was only slowing them down anyway.
In Fort Pulaski GA.....
