LIVE RECAP:
The 10 remaining teams start the second leg of the race with Rachel and Dave as the first couple to leave. Rachel R. and Brendon Villegas are next, followed by Art & JJ. The teams have to go to Cafayate Town Square after a considerable delay–they have to wait till daylight to leave– so the first set of couples lose their lead. Rachel and Dave have now lost their lead.
Every team decides to build the solar oven, except for Art & JJ who decide to head to the donkey challenge. Unfortunately for Art & JJ, they get lost.
Art & JJ have packed their donkey and are on their way while the other teams are still building their ovens. Bopper and Mark are the first team to finish boiling water. Their next destination? An 18 hour bus ride to Buenos Aires.
Art & JJ are the next team to finish and head to the bus. Rachel and Dave finish next as do Rachel R. and Brendon. All other teams finish next too with Nary and Jamie as the last team to finish the detour.
Bopper and Mark, Rachel and Dave, Rachel R. and Brendon, and Art and JJ are on the first bus. The rest of the teams make it to the second bus except for Kerri and Stacy, and Nary and Jamie who get on third.
The second bus has a broken window and gets stopped.
The first bus arrives. Rachel and Dave are the first team to get their next clue which is a Roadblock, “Where’s The Beef.” During this challenge, the teams have to use their math skills and no calculators at the world’s largest cattle market. The third bus arrives next and the second bus had a two hour delay because of the broken window.
Rachel and Dave are the first team to finish and head to the next pit stop, El Gomero, a two thousand year old rubber tree.
Rachel R. starts to panic because she is terrible at math. Mark helps her out and wants to work together. Their plan works and both teams head to the pit stop. BUT Rachel R. makes a mistake with the taxi after Mark and Bopper leave. Brenchel is left without a taxi and Rachel R. has a meltdown. They finally make it to the pit stop.
Rachel and Dave arrive as team number one again and win a trip to Grenada. Three teams have arrived at the pit stop and bus number two has just arrived at the Roadblock.
ELIMINATION: David and Cherie are the last team to arrive and are both eliminated from the race.
