What happened on Day 39 · Marion, Illinois

Day 39 opens with a prop prank in the bus bathroom. In Marion, the Thrill House hands the boys go-karts, axe throwing, archery and an eight-pound tater tot challenge nobody has finished, plus a best-of-seven arcade series for a mulligan. Owner Shad shows off his 400,000-square-foot powersports store, trap doors included, and breakfast is served in a 1914 bank vault above old Prohibition tunnels. Then Mason takes on the crew one at a time in a gauntlet at Kokopelli Golf.
