And we're back...

Plug for Gloria Jean's coffee in South Africa.

Richard and Joey are Stuck Matt almost wets himself laughing.

Alana and Mel worry it will happen to them, but aren't going to help.

Richard and Joey are stuck up to the axle.

Chris is bogged, not as badly as Richard and Joey.

Dave, Tyler and Nathan and Matt and Jom are ecstatic.

Tyler and Nathan are sick of waiting and move the trees to push forward... And get bogged, stuck in a mini lake, wheels spinning. They manage to push out with no worries. Everyone is following their path. Chris & Anastasia back up and take the new way. Everyone getting through now bar Richard and Joey.

Richard and Joey appear screwed, having to resort to digging the car out.

Surfers are at the smash task, throwing sticks and enjoying the singing around them. Jeff and Luke, Matt and Tom  Mo and Mos and Bikers arrive.

Chris and Ana building, not really sure what a giraffe feeder is, but they have a civil engineer, what could go wrong.

Sisters are building. Ana is doing gymnastics to keep the logs up.

Matt and Tom and Surfers land a hit, Mo and Mos switching to giraffe feeders. Jeff and Luke switch. Matt and Tom finish the smashing.

Roadblock immediately- Who wants to take the plunge?

Bungee jumping, and...

CAUTION! U-Turn ahead

Tyler and Nathan finished

Nathan- "U-Turn? Oh no..."

Matt and Tom choose not to U-Turn. Surfers are stressing out, but didn't need to.

Tyler and Nathan make a beeline for Richard and Joey's picture, the focus believe achievers are still bogged.

Ad break.

Could this be a wasted U-Turn in light of Richard and Joey still being bogged?

And we're back. Weekly $5000 winner announced.

FBA are bogged still, but have a confessionall about how they didn't give up. A ranger comes and tows them out.

Joey puts on a bad accent again while she thanks him. The two are screaming like they've just won the whole thing while they drive through.

Chris and Ana are making solid progress, liked how "We made it a solid 2 person job"

Jeff and Luke have years of carpentry experience, yet for some reason they didn't choose the carpentry job first.

Chris and Ana and Jeff and Luke finish detour.

Dave takes a lot of throws before getting it.

Dave- "Who wants to take the plunge, this is going to be something I'll hate for life I'll do it."

Mo and Mos struggling to build- "We're nowhere near what a chippy should be"

The girl models doing well, claim they're alright around tools- tools with inflection.

Richard hammers his thumb, he's bleeding.

Dave: "We choose not to U-Turn anyone because its been done for us.

Alana and Mel floundering: "Sorry dad. Our dad is a builder, and my husband is a designer."

Richard and Joey arguing about how good the job has to be, however, the FBA's have left the building ahead of the sisters and the muslims.

Richard: "I think its fine, everyone is doing their own race, who would U-Turn us?"

Shock horror, they are U-Turned.

Joey: "Maybe its a compliment, we feel so threatened by them that we have to U-Turn them when we're first and their ninth."

Richard and Joey have the gall to complain about other teams using the U-Turn.

Cop is going lights and sirens, Nathan and Tyler worried about being pulled over, but its Matt and Tom instead. The surfers shoot to first place.

Back from commercial. Matt isn't sure of the speed limit. Nathan: "That's heavy, so heavy bro" :res:

Apparently, the police have had complaints about the vehicle with their plates driving too fast.

Cop: "Please slow down a bit, ok?"

Alana and Mel finish the giraffe feeder. Richard and Joey have 1 hit at smash and Mo and Mos still building.

Nathan and Tyler are at the bungee in number one, Chris and Ana are number 2.

Nathan getting kitted up, Tyler pumping him up and threatening to push him if he doesn't go. Nathan jumps, doesn't scream but has a terrified look frozen on his face. Apparently Tyler wondered if Nathan had passed out.

Teams must now drive to Nomathamsanka and take a goat to the local witch doctor for their next clue.

Richard and Joey have 1 target left to hit, Mo and Mos have finished building.

Chris jumps, screams like a little girl. Anastasia gets the giggles.

Tom jumps, does the dolphin on the way down, gives the camera a big thumbs up. Matt thinks it looked good.

Chris and Ana getting directions, Matt and Tom drive off, thinking they have seen/will see a sign.

Chris is asking why Anastasia feels the need to constantly argue with him. Richard and Joey back at the Detour, struggling but are sent into hysterics when they finally get the last one.

Nathan: "We went to a town that was about 15-20 letters long, and had to grab a goat to take to a Sangoma."

Matt and Tom are running their goat with no troubles, Tyler and Nathan struggling a bit.

Jeff and Luke at bungee, Jeff jumps with no trouble. Luke calls him his superman, and hopes he can set the same example for his son. Jeff says its the best thing he's ever done.

On the road, Mos and Mo are in front of the sisters again, Mel claims responsibility for the stuff up.

Dave "was scared, I (he) don't care who knows." Dave jumps, despite thinking about not doing it. He screams in a rich tenor, he's proud to have not soiled anything or expelled any bodily fluids. Kelly has a huge grin on.

Anastasia is scared of the goats, so Chris is doing it pretty much solo.

Nathan have dragged their goat to the witch doctor in first, and are now heading for the Pit Stop: the Addo Elephant National park.

Matt and Tom are back right behind again, Ana does not want to touch the goat, but she grabs a horn to help pull it.

Sam is afraid, but comments "I've always said if I was gonna bungee jump or something, it was gonna be the highest of the highest." Sam jumps with no hesitation, feels like she wants to cry.

Mel and Mo are up. Mel screams a "long scream" she was happy she did it, but will never do it again.

Matt and Tom are first to the park, first through the gate, Nathan and Tyler right behind.

FOOTRACE!

Both teams out of the cars and grabbing their packs. Matt and Tom have slightly better car position, but Tyler is right next to them as they start running.

Ad break.

And we're back

Footrace again, both teams are out and going, grabbing packs. Matt and Tom in front of Nathan, but Tyler is right with them. Very close call.

Grant gives it to Matt and Tom, Nathan thinks that if the sprint was 100 meters instead of that tiny little dash, they'd have got em.

Mos jumps, "Woo"s a lot and loves it. He thanks Mo for being scared of bungee jumping and letting him do it.

Jeff and Luke doing the goats, seem to be doing well.

Chris is 10 meters from the end and exhausted, Anastasia doesn't have a hair out of place.

They stop for a dance break before running off.

Richard is screaming before he's even jumped. Joey says she couldn't have done it. They're trying to stay positive.

And she says they're going to Focus, Believe, Achieve. Take a shot, everybody.

Jeff and Luke's goat is pregnant, so they refuse to drag it. They pick it up and carry it instead. Sam and Renae's goat is giving them grief, and Dave and Kelly's goat is performing the classic childhood tantrum move: The Slump.

Dave: "And with about 300 meters to go, the goat decided to start walking. In a zig zag fashion, but in a fashion where I didn't have to drag it, so it was a good fashion."

Richard and Joey are right behind Mo and Mos. Chris and Ana & Jeff and Luke are enjoying seeing the animals on the way to the Pit Stop.

Sam and Renae are done with their goat.  Can't help but feel that if Mos and Mo can't pull away at the goats, they'll lose in a footrace for sure.

Alana and Mel are at the goats, and we cue the clueless music. Not good signs for them.

FBA and the muslims are level at the goats, Mo and Mos wrangle one first.

Their goat isn't very keen, and Richard decides to change goats.

Alana has had the pleasure of putting her finger inside a goat. She was holding it by the tail to get it to move, and slipped. It still smells, apparently.

Richard and Joey arguing again, the pressure of being bottom feeders is getting to them. (Do they remind anyone else of Ray and Deana???)

Ad break.

Edit:

And we're back.

Richard and Joey still struggling with goat, Richard shoved it and now its running. Alana and Mel have reached the Pit Stop unscathed in 7th place.

Mo and Mos have handed in their goat, Richard and Joey 5 seconds behind, according to Mo and Mos.

Driving battle to the Pit Stop, and Richard and Joey are not far behind, angling to become the first team to survive being U-Turned on their own.

Mo and Mos are first to the park, checked in at number 8.

Richard and Joey have gone from first to last, jogging to the mat and looking generally displeased.

They turn away as Grant tells them they're eliminated.

Joey hoped it was an NEL so they could thank the surfers for their gift.

So it looks like no more Focus, Believe, Achieving.

Next time on The Amazing Race:

Skydive, tensions between ana and christ (wine task)

Quad bikes, shooting and Mo "Can't do it" at the skydiving.

I was thinking of Ray and Deana before, because they were eliminated after winning the previous stage on the back of a Fast Forward. I hope that Richard and Joey meet the same fate.
