[RachelLeVega]

Darius is making a bigger error than Fran & Barry running pass the clue box in reaching distance.

[Platrium]

I like the detour, but it was imbalanced. Culture-wise, it's good; leg-design-wise, it's not.

Our spoilers have been inaccurate this time around. I'm also surprised the first 2 teams finished really early this episode.

I like the bags and the roadblock. It's not as challenging as I expected, but I think it's okay to have easy tasks once in a while.

Scott & Blair and Zach & Rachel are being fun and funny at the bus detour. I also like how I finally saw a shade of the models (or at least 1 of them). It's nice to see her help Cole. Matt & Dana's edit though: Why?

This night time part of the leg is great! The intensity of a 4-way race to last at the roadblock is also amazing!

[RachelLeVega]

And the winner of the "Duh" award this season goes to Darius!

[gamerfan09]

Next Week on The Amazing Race...

Love is in the air

Blair and Brodie

Teams do some benchwork!

[Platrium]

I was gonna say the episode was not bad, but weak. The first 30 minutes of the leg seem linear, with the Top 4 teams being almost consistent from last leg. The first half of the episode was bland.

I think what saved the episode from being weak are the mistakes committed by Darius & Cameron and Zach & Rachel. It was intense! Also, the imbalanced detour saved it. We wouldn't have a dramatic finish had the detours been balanced.

[gamerfan09]

Yeah um, this was an amazing episode the minute the top four teams were out of screentime and we got the superior bottom half <3

[RachelLeVega]

Overall, a pretty solid leg. I thought the Detour was unbalanced (quick tosses vs. persuasion to pay for a bus ride) so I'm not too impressed. Pit Stop editing is still inconsistent-ing me to death. Roadblock ended up being really good especially the challenge of searching for the correct mochillas in the dark. Editing and route has improved bits and pieces over the course of this and the second half of last season though.

Blair is driving me crazy from her screaming and freaking out.

Sheri and Cole got a thirty minute penalty!

 ❤ Sheri LaBrant  ❤ ‏@SheriLaBrant  · 1m1 minute ago 

PENALTY : @Thesupercole grabbed a second bag to match.  He was to only grab 1. He ended up with 4 bags, 2 matching pairs

Remarkable discovery!

scott and blair are moving up quickly on my list of favorite teams ever.

the fact that blair sometimes is more competent than scott is just <333

blair keeps blurting out awesome quotes <333

really enjoyed the second half of the show.

[Platrium]

  for successful North & South American legs!!!

I'm glad we have different leg winners so far. However, I am still disappointed with the absence of the Express Pass.

I like how there's progress of teams shown at the bottom left screen for most tasks, but they should've stayed consistent and did the same for the exploding detour.

Zach & Rachel's mistake almost cost them the race. It was really close, especially when Phil said, "The last team to check in is right behind you." Darius' big mistake could've gotten them an 8th. I thought they were eliminated due to the linearity of the leg when I checked the spoilers, but I'm glad that didn't happen! The way they ended was more dramatic. I wonder what was written in the clue, or I wonder if he misread or didn't read the clue. They were such a good team, but their mistakes have cost them to land at the back of the pack. They were likable, but their mistakes have been more outstanding.

Scott & Blair are being at the back the whole time. I'm almost pretty sure they would probably have gone home if they hadn't beaten Marty & Hagan to the 2nd flight last leg.

Overall, this is a half-bland half-intense episode! I didn't like the first half of the show, but then I understand why they showed the 1st 2 teams checking in so early. The last half was worth seeing, and it was at night!

[Bookworm]

The leg design itself was decent, but the episode itself was amazing. Such a great last 15 minutes!

[Platrium]

Yeah um, this was an amazing episode the minute the top four teams were out of screentime and we got the superior bottom half <3

It was something like last season's Leg 5, where the Top 4 teams were linear and meh, but the Bottom 4 teams creating the drama and intensity because 3 of them made devastating mistakes.

[Platrium]

I'm liking Zach & Rachel more from this episode. Their mistake almost cost them, but they made such a comeback!

[RaceUntilWeDie]

According to Joslyn, Korey, and Amazing Race producer on Twitter, there was an unaired U-Turn??

Honestly I expect zero U-Turn drama on this season. Just like how they abandoned the Express Pass for some reason.

[Platrium]

According to Joslyn, Korey, and Amazing Race producer on Twitter, there was an unaired U-Turn??

What!?

If it was unused, it was probably because the teams know each other due to the theme of the season, and some of them are friends to even U-turn one another.

Maybe the U-turn would've been interesting if it was with the Top 2 teams.

[Platrium]

I think it's a good thing that these social media racers provide information of the unaired.

Also, when Cameron saw where Zach got the clue, he didn't say anything to Darius. I'm thinking he couldn't say it because it's counted as a helping-the-teammate-at-the-roadblock penalty.

Anyone else catch Zach and Rachel looking for Phil at Plaza de Bolivar (again)

[gamerfan09]

I'll have to rewatch the episode but according to Zach they did go there!
