The 6th first legs are finish, here is a small recap.

Three teams are eliminated, Patrice and Benjamin (at leg 2), Fabienne and Jade (at leg 3) and Steve and Martine (due to ankle injury of Martine, health forfeit of the team).

For the moment, a team win 3 legs, Fabrice and Briac. They don't finish worst than 3rd. They are the favorites. The other good team is Kleofina and Julia, ex-miss. The others teams, Laetitia/Aurélie and Mounir/Lydia got some problem of communication and Thomas/Mathieu don't know how to speak spanish at the begining. They are better but are saved last leg because they finish last and it was a non elimination leg.

Next thursday, 4 legs remaining, the 1st in Colombia, at Cartagenas de los Indios.

Another news, there is an all star edition actually in Russia.
