For everyone asking where the rest of the season is, it is in the Season 4 listing. This is not season 4, it is "south america" which is basically a 4 episode late summer run to show the off season events, and 2 recap/crew episodes. Thats why this is under $10 vs the 30 for season 4 which has the new episodes. Google/Discovery should have clarified this in the details, (but then few would have purchased this knowing the difference).
