It's another leg in the UAE, and it starts by making the racers use their Viking coins from Norway to puzzle out the entry codes to the product-placed SUVs they'll be driving for the day. Leo & Jamal hold onto their lead as the teams have to take a dune buggy ride, and Nicky & Kim expand their lag as they get stuck and burn out their vehicle's clutch, forcing them to switch buggies. Travis & Nicole beat Leo & Jamal to the location of the clue, which is sending them to the Detour. There, the ER docs use both their Express Pass and the U-Turn, burning the Afghanimals for their pointless and obvious lying. With a commanding lead, Nicole completes a river-rafting Roadblock that requires her to leap for overhanging flags from a moving raft, and the ER docs chalk up another win.
The race goes less smoothly for the other teams, however. At the Detour, they have to either dress up a fancy show-camel for display, or prep a bunch of ingredients for what looks like a traditional chicken soup. Most teams start with the former, though most teams also have to take a second crack at it. Leo & Jamal, after seeing that Tim & Marie have finished the camel task, switch Detours, not yet realizing that they're going to have to do both anyway. The exes wander half a mile or more out of their way looking for a clue that's actually on site, allowing Jason & Amy to recover from some early navigational challenges and come in second again. When Tim & Marie do find the U-Turn, they use it on Nicky & Kim, because of how Marie is still butt-hurt over getting outplayed by them way back at the Sao Paolo airport. And then they come in third. The Afghanimals recover nicely from being U-Turned, probably because they got a head start on the cooking task before switching, and end up in fourth. Ally & Ashley have little trouble with the tasks themselves, but have navigational issues that make Jason & Amy look like Lewis & Clark, leading them to a fifth-place finish.
And finally, the Rasputins of this season, Nicky & Kim. After doing both Detours, a Speed Bump in which they have to swim across a wave pool (and trust me, Kim doesn't make that look easy), and the Roadblock, they are finally, and deservedly, Philiminated. Man, they couldn't even lose quickly.
