Previously on TAR, 12 teams continued their race on foot in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Kishori & Karishma and Michelle & Sean faced a huge mistake. Beach Boys got stumped at the Detour. The heat took its toll on the teams. Ricky & Cesar and Rod & Leticia battled for the lead ending in victory for the married. Meanwhile, Chris & Mary were eliminated. Remaining 11 teams headed out Guatape, Colombia. Leaving in 15 minute increments of 3 groups.

We return to Group 1 still climbing. Ricky & Cesar talk about maintaining the advantage will lead to getting first. They say they are resourceful. Rod motivates Leticia to keep going. They are turtle-paced. Shelisa is already winded. "Almost there, almost there." - Derek

Ricky & Cesar grab the clue. DETOUR!
In Bandeja Paisa, teams must cook the dish and be judged by a trio of local abuelas. In Yipao, teams must properly pack a Willys Jeep with an arrangement of household items to receive their next clue. Both Detours require teams to ride a boat to their destinations.

Group 2 of Juan & Shane, Amber & Vinny, and Angie & Danny leave.

Angie & Danny recognize the physical challenges are going to be their weakness. Yvonne & Melissa also are shown going up.

(Ricky & Cesar and Rod & Leticia cook. All of Group 2 choose to cook too.)

Ricky & Cesar, Rod & Leti, and Derek & Shelisa all get into the long-span boats.

Last group of Sunny & Bizzy, Michelle & Sean, Anthony & Bailey, and Kishori & Karishma depart and go up El Penon. Sunny got an emergency call that her grandmother past away the day before this leg. "This leg's for grandma!" - Sunny

 :'(

Michelle & Sean are saying comebacks are the best. Their fire is there. Sean is petrified of heights. Anthony & Bailey want to think a little more this time.

Sunny & Bizzy and Anthony & Bailey do the yipao loading. Michelle & Sean and Kishori & Karishma do the cooking task. Kishori & Karishma said the yipaos looked like too much.

Ricky & Cesar said to put it to the metal for their boat driver. Rod & Leticia enjoying some time together on the boat. Rod is the baker while Leticia is the chef. Derek & Shelisa can't imagine that they climbed that mountain.

Derek said Shelisa wanted to come onto the race because she had a cancer scare. She wants to represent retirees/cancer survivors. Meanwhile, Derek & Shelisa want to pass Rod & Leticia! "We do not come in second!"- Rod.

Juan & Shane are in the boat. Juan was born in Colombia and talks about his childhood and recognizing his old country and sharing his roots. He is appreciative of sharing the experience with Shane and later with his wife and kid. Amber didn't know what Colombia was going to offer. She does not want to be last again. Vinny reiterates that they want to bring justice to their name.

Ricky & Cesar disembark in Guatape. They must find a station with a matching Zocalo. They start working on the sausages and rice.

Angie & Danny's boat is stuck in the water with an error. Meanwhile, Rod & Leticia and Derek & Shelisa arrive on the pier. Amber & Vinny catch up from just behind. Juan & Shane run past on the path to the cooks. Juan & Shane see more stairs. All four teams eventually find their station with their respective Zocalo.

Michelle & Sean switch to the yipao Detour on the way down the mountain. Angie & Danny STILL stalled out on the water. Sunny & Bizzy getting on the boat. Kishori & Karishma going down to the coast in a little bit of distress. Angie is getting nervous.

"Mas rapido! Mas rapido! Mas rapido!" - Bizzy

"Must be hard when other teams are passing." - Angie

We come back to Angie & Danny's boat still drinking the bottom of a glass. It's a Suzuki motor, of course. Kishori & Karishma passing them as Kishori blows them a kiss. The motor begins to work again. "Never doubted you for a minute. /side eye/" - Angie.

Kishori & Karishma learned to trust their gut and it's working. They feel they have a good time ahead of Beach Boys and Double Dutch. Sunny & Bizzy aware of their placement awkwardly. Michelle & Sean in the boat.

  • BIG MISTAKE
Shocked the twins didn't make it to the boats faster; their only real advantage is their comparative physicality but somehow they got lost in such a short distance.

Ricky & Cesar only need the chicharron element of the dish. Vinny is the chef of the group while Amber is letting him do all the harder work. Juan has his hands full while Shane burnt the arepas. Leticia's idea of cooking is throwing stuff in a pan. Derek & Shelisa arguing at their station.

Yvonne & Melissa arrive on the dock. They run to their bandejas paisa station. Shelisa uses eye measurement to cook at home as everyone should be doing. Amber is shocked by how much they have to make. Ricky & Cesar and Leticia know grandmas don't play about food.

Ricky & Cesar present their plates to the judges.

Beach Boys see they are dead last, but they're living it up on the boat. Michelle & Sean know they are losing excitedly.

Ricky & Cesar ask if their auto rickshaw can go to their desired destination. Sunny & Bizzy arrive on the pier followed by Angie & Danny and Kishori & Karishma. Angie and Danny argue about helping the cousins. Danny tunes Angie out. They end up working together to find the cooking stations. Sunny & Bizzy right behind.

Kishori is vegan and Karishma is vegetarian, therefore never cooked meat. They are chickens with their heads cut off in this situation. Kishori lets out a huge sigh.

We arrive back into Kishori & Karishma's cooking show where they see multiple meat items in shock. Kishori asks Derek & Shelisa want the different meats are. Derek & Shelisa say the cousins remind them of their kids. "Martha Stewart 3x" - Kishori in hopes she would appear.

Rod & Leticia still cooking in dysfunction. Shane too. Danny can't cook and can't fry an egg. Shelisa didn't make enough rice.

Michelle & Sean are going to the Willys. Beach Boys' legs are noodles now. They see the Jeeps and start doing the impossible task as Michelle describes. Michelle & Sean looked at it and it looked more difficult. :funny: "We shoulda cooked! What did we get ourselves into?" - Sean.

Teams still cooking. Bizzy says this is like firehouse cooking. Rod & Leticia going for it. Derek & Shelisa are doing alright now. Kishori & Karishma excited about cooking meat. Yvonne & Melissa say it's starting to rain.

Rod & Leticia are Gordon Ramsay'd out of here. They must fix their plate.

Derek & Shelisa are approved! They move up to 2nd, walking to the auto rickshaws. Juan wants to go with his gut. Rod & Leticia says presentation matters. Meanwhile, Anthony & Bailey say there was more strategy to the yipao than they thought. Their heads are hurting and want to switch. Michelle & Sean also contemplating about switching. The Beach Boys' brains are mush at this point.

"Maybe if we get into the kitchen, we can whip it out really quick." Famous last words, but they're switching. :funny: Michelle & Sean follow along as well.

Kishori & Karishma become a little neurotic with the meat.

Anthony & Bailey says the cooking seems worse than the yipao. Oh no. :funny:

Rod & Leticia are approved and are off in 3rd. Anthony & Bailey's heads are spinning!

Sunny & Bizzy are almost finished up while Angie only wants to focus on herself and Danny.

Juan & Shane get grandmas' approval and are off in 4th. Beach Boys read ingredients they didn't even understand are switch back to the yipaos. Yikes.

Juan & Shane are on Rod & Leticia's heels. Beach Boys back at it with the trucks while Sunny & Bizzy pass at the cooking!

Kishori & Karishma arguing that they will drop their plates on the way to the judges. Teams in the background still cooking. They are disapproved with raw plantains. Amber & Vinny try and are approved in 6th.

Sunny & Bizzy get a little crazy in the tuk-tuk. Angie & Danny pass the cooking in 7th.

"I don't want to mess up Jesus either."- Anthony. They can't even tie a knot. :funny:

"Will we be the first team to switch Detours like four times?" Jeeps honking and psychedelically in the background.

We come back to the twins making the worst decision they ever made. They go back to the cooking. Bailey is smiling through the pain.

Kishori & Karishma are back and are approved in 8th.

Cesar going to the husker. Ricky is proud of him. He only has half a kilo.

Kishori & Karishma want to win while Amber & Vinny's tuk tuk is stuck. They give it a good push up the hill.

Juan & Shane arrive at Casa Loma. Shane does the RB. "That coffee's gonna taste good, baby!" - Juan. Shane tunes him out. "Let your haters be your motivators!" - Juan. Why wasn't this the title quote? :funny:

Ricky & Cesar arrive at the Pit Stop in 1ST! They win OneKey Cash to Cape Town, South Africa!

He's gone unnoticed as far as race skills go, but I have a feeling Cesar is gonna end up being one of those historically strong racers that pulls his team far. He led their team through this leg and built a sizeable lead.

Amber & Vinny arrive at the plantation. Vinny does the RB. Leticia and Shelisa are still needing another half of a kilo. Sunny knows there are untouched ones at the top of the hill as well as Vinny.

Yvonne & Melissa arrive in 7th at the RB.

"I'm the height of Danny DeVito. Kishori needs to do this." - the cousins in 8th.

Sunny doing a random accent while picking cherries.

Kishori says there is so much effort that goes into putting food on a plate and is feeling a bit of a perspective moment.

Michelle & Sean finish the cooking in 10th. Anthony & Bailey have to pick up the slack.

Angie & Danny arrive in 9th at the RB. Angie does the RB.

Vinny says he has an all-hands on deck strategy and knows what 2 pounds feels like. Vinny gets it all on his first try! They move up fast! Amber runs off to meet him.

Kishori, Angie, and Yvonne (invisibly) still working on it. Leticia meets the 1 kilo goal!

"Pick those cherries Kishori! Your butt looks great from here!" - Karishma.

Angie must keep picking while Danny wishes she went up the mountain a little more.

Kishori & Karishma leave in 8th with 1 kilo. Danny reminds his mom that teams are leaving while Angie tells him to be quiet.

"That's alright. Take a nap."- Angie. Danny is visibly frustrated.

We come back to Angie & Danny in the weeds as she needs to take a sip of water. "You got this mom." Danny says a little threateningly.

Juan & Shane and Rod & Leticia climbing. Yvonne & Melissa go the wrong way. Shelisa yells at Derek for wasting time. All teams a little lost as Sunny & Bizzy are looking too. Kishori & Karishma are pushing!

Derek & Shelisa end up finding the mat as TEAM NUMBER THREE!

Juan & Shane scoping it out and Shane slides down the hill on his bum! :funny: Epic foot race music!

Juan & Shane are TEAM NUMBER FOUR and Rod & Leticia are TEAM NUMBER FIVE.

Angie & Danny still picking and climbing. Anthony & Bailey are pumped just to be moving. Michelle & Sean arrive at Casa Loma. Michelle does the RB. They see the steep hill. Michelle slips and Sean is in "Hell no" mode. Step by step.

Sean is having a meltdown over the coffee plantation hill.


Commercials and Phil asking for applicants.

We come back to Mika & Canaan Michelle & Sean vs. Water Slide Casa Loma's terrain. "You're not going to slip on steps!"

"I can't!"- Sean

Sean feels like he could slide right off. He nearly pulls a Mika right there in the moment.

Beach Boys are hoping it's not something hard, but something really cool at the coffee plantation. Sean catches up with Danny saying there is still one team behind.

Michelle gives motivational advice while picking coffee cherries. Angie passes the RB in 9th! They see the Beach Boys on the way out. It's now Michelle & Sean vs. Anthony & Bailey. Sean wishes to help Michelle, but can't do anything because of the RB rules. Anthony starts picking.

Angie & Danny are TEAM NUMBER NINE!

Anthony gets distracted by a blue-backed bird. Someone identify it. :funny:

Michelle gloops down the side of the mountain and delivers the kilo of coffee cherries right behind Anthony & Bailey.

It's a foot race! Michelle's legs are aching. Level 5! On the treadmill! It's pouring rain!

Michelle & Sean make quite an entrance on the mat with Phil as Sean wipes out on the mat and Michelle tumbles in (almost). They are TEAM NUMBER TEN!

Anthony & Bailey arrive and have been eliminated from the race. Bailey says this is all about the adventure. Phil says they have a very unique connection. They enjoyed time with each other that they probably wouldn't otherwise.

End credits! Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode!

I love Anthony and Bailey

I hate Expedia product placement (but I’m convinced the gliding had to be moved to next leg due to weather which is why the Expedia Experiences task is… picking coffee fruits  :groan:)

I wouldn't be surprised if the coffee task was meant for Expedia; Colombia actually does have a healthy amount of coffee tourism.

Amber mentioned the word 'Filipino' when it comes to cooking Colombian food, she meant this because she knows her partner is Vinny, who happens to be Filipino and our first-ever contestant who is originally from the Philippines.
