 While in Australia, Colby Donaldson (qv) removed corals from the  Great Barrier Reef, a crime resulting in a fine of AU$110,000.  Technically, he should have been disqualified from the show due to  breaking the local law. The helicopter involved with the reward also  flew around sea bird rookeries. When this episode aired in  Australia, the commercial breaks featured advertisements that stated  removing coral from the Great Barrier Reef is illegal and results in  a fine.
