We return with teams facing the ROADBLOCK: "Who wants to go medieval?"
As a site of a bloody battle in the medieval age, one team member must build a trebuchet - never mind, can't beat TAR17 nor 6 - using the given materials. No firing of the catapult? This isn't fun....

And with no surprise, Lucas & Brittany are shown with experience of constructing a pergola for a friend's wedding! Cody wants to start a construction business so he has an edge up. And Kristi is determined to finish this catapult in front of all the guys taking on this task! Trevor & Chris decides to make fun of the other teams motivating their teammates as Trevor does it himself afterward.... Meanwhile, Conor is struggling with the cube hammer. Joey & Tim are also struggling. "I didn't know you invested in the stock market"- Eric. Henry & Evan are shown dealing with this tradeoff.

Lucas is disapproved with his pieces, with the base not lining up correctly. And Cody's is also unapproved with two specific parts.

Lucas makes an incredible comeback as he finishes the catapult!!!! He receives his clue in 1st place, but no catapult firing? Booo.

Make your way to Cafe de la Fontaine and find a capped man where they are offered a glass of red wine to receive their next clue. Cody & jessica get 2nd place following behind the lifeguards. Jen is uncomfortable in the blockade, and Kristi finishes right on time in 3rd before Jen loses it.

Alex & Conor and Trevor & Chris are struggling hard with tight screws and everything in between. Eric & Daniel move on in 4th to the cafe.

Henry & Evan leave 5th from the chateau while Trevor flirts with Chris. Joey describes this blockade as a nightmare.

DETOUR: Full of Bulls or Colorfu
In Full of Bulls, teams must search among replicas of bulls to find a red, white, and blue tag to trade for their next clue. In Colorful, teams must grab a clue from behind a painting of Picasso's replica of the bridge nearby - if they can figure out how.

Trevor & Chris move on from the Roadblock while Joey & Tim and Alex & Conor are far behind from the pack. "Can I get a check?" And Conor is rejected from the judge. Tim is also unapproved with him unknowing what to do.

Both teams are struggling not understanding what is wrong with their trebuchets...

The boys at the Roadblock are struggling as we return. Joey and Tim reveal their 12 year friendship as more than simply competitive eaters. Tim realizes his mistake and quickly makes up the time! He and Joey move on in 7th place while the Indy drivers are in last. Conor figures out he needed wheel nuts and is quickly approved. They depart from the RB in last place.

Meanwhile, Daniel compliments the Roadblock of the day. Cody & Jessica can't believe the lifeguards beat them getting their clue with two other teams getting their clue after them. Kristi & Jen and Lucas & Brittany are neck-and-neck at the bulls Detour. They are welcomed with a trumpeter as teams run bleachers. Both of them grab a red tag! They separate from the pack and both grab a white tag at nearly the same time. A horse hinneys as Lucas & Brittany struggle to focus on their blue tag.

 Trevor & Chris and Alex & Conor get to the Detour in 6th and 7th. Joey & Tim choose Colorful.

Cody & Jessica talk about basing thoughts on conscience rather than logic which Cody struggles with. They have a sweet, slightly uneventful chatter. Henry & Evan comment on their Detour choice - yawns.

We are back with the ribbon hunters as Lucas & Brittany find their blue tag! Kristi & Jen get theirs in a hustle and run back down. Lucas & Britt get their next clue in 1st and reveal a Pit Stop clue.

Teams must travel to the Hotel Benvengudo, the Pit Stop of this leg. Last team to check in MAY BE ELIMINATED! Kristi & Jen quickly trail behind them while Eric & Daniel enter the ring in a battle with themselves for first.

Joey & Tim decide against the bulls believing running will be super tiring. Eric & Daniel quickly get three tags and are up on it in 3rd place!
Trevor & Chris are driving around with Joey & Tim are deciding a Picasso painting puzzle is better than finding small pouches. Alex & Conor and Henry & Evan arrive one after each other in another competition for the pouches! Now this is what I call a head-to-head, lol.

Cody & Jessica have magically showed up too and in this battle too. Teams are frantically running and are nearly out of breath! Let's go!!! And Henry & Evan get their next clue in 4th! They leave in joy with Alex & Conor finding their third ribbon followed by Cody & Jessica. 5th and 6th place clues are given.

Lucas & Brittany and Kristi & Jen in a race for FIRST!!! Classic race music come back on! Wooohooo! Lucas asks for headphones, for some reason. Huh. And our first place winner is.... Lucas & Brittany! A beautiful comeback from that previous leg.

They win a trip for two to Bali, Indonesia at the Laguna Resort & Spa!

And here's a surprise! Kristi & Jen arrive next in 2ND PLACE. They are proud of the lifeguards winning their first place and crying with joy. And SURPRISE #2 coming up, are we continuing this sacred tradition again....

We return: Lucas announces he has something to say. Kristi & Jen freak out for a second. Lucas gives a long winded speech about Brittany while Eric & Daniel interrupt coming in 3rd place.

"Will you marry me?" - Lucas.  :999: :999: :999: Lucas & Brittany are now ENGAGED!

Brittany says this moment was so surreal. She says her dad will be eating his words after watching today's. Henry & Evan arrive 4TH and are taken aback with wonder as Lucas & Brittany show them their ring.

Alex & Conor arrive 5TH PLACE and are shared the news of Lucas & Brittany's engagment. Heartwarming moment, yada yada, now let's get moving with the other teams.

Joey & Tim finally arrive at the bridge and the painter where they believe they are in 1st - not necessarily, just no one decided to show up. They can't open the painting.

Cody & Jessica are 6TH PLACE, unhappy with today's leg. Trevor & Chris run into some traffic and are so pissed. Joey & Tim figure out some moving counterparts and figure out they have a certain combination to follow. Still, they are unable to open as the top of the canvas is also a sliding combo "lock". This is such an interesting puzzle.... can't believe I'm saying this...

Trevor & Chris are distraught in navigation, lost in translation, and are bitter with the roads in France. "Oh my God, are we out of this race?!" - Chris. Double scene: "We're in trouble." - Joey.

And at Pit Stop mat..... Trevor & Chris arrive in 7TH PLACE, and you're still in The Amazing Race!

Joey & Tim are the last team to arrive and unfortunately have been eliminated from the race. A flow of disappointment and speechlessness show on both of their faces. Joey and Tim were honored to do the race and with each other. This is an awkward elimination speech...

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode!
