Tonight, on The Amazing Race, teams continue on in India, leaving the city of Kolkata for Varanasi via plane. Zev's not too happy about this, because it's too crowded for his taste. Kent and Vyxsin are praying for better luck this time around in India, given that it was the country that they were eliminated in during season 12.

Everyone boards the same flight, with the exception of Jet and Cord who accidentally booked a later flight. What in the world were they thinking?

In Varanasi, Kent and Vyxsin arrive first at the clue box, where they find a Road Block. One team member has to search through crowded streets to find six sadhus, which are wandering monks, and gather clues to figure out the meaning of life. Some choose to work together, since there's no sense in wandering around alone when you can wander around with someone else!

Jen makes quick work of the Road Block and finishes first, followed by Big Easy and Justin, who teamed up. Finally, Jet and Cord arrive and find themselves back in the race, thankfully! Ron is just aimlessly walking around, nowhere near where he's supposed to be. At what point do you figure out that you need to go somewhere else? Kent, who had been working with Gary, ditched him at the end to move on in the leg. Classy.

Teams head next to the Swaminath Akhara, a local wrestling club, for a Detour. They'll chose between feed the fire or feed the buffalo. No wrestling? Boo. In feed the fire, teams head to the home of a milkman and make patties out of cow manure, put them on a wall to dry, load them into a stove, and light them on fire to boil milk. That is way too much work! In feed the buffalo, teams have to go back and forth across the Ganges River to get hay and well... you get the rest of this task based on its name.

Zev and Justin and The Globetrotters chose the buffalo, finish first, and head to Ramnagar Fort, the pit stop. They proved that working together on this leg (and choosing feed the buffalo) only had positives to it. The Globetrotters arrive first, after finishing last in the previous leg, and win a trip to Hawaii.

Teams finish in the following order: Zev and Justin, Jen and Kisha, Gary and Mallory, Jet and Cord, and Kent and Vyxsin.

I was torn about who I thought should go home - Kent and Vyxsin or Ron and Christina.  After watching Kent and Vyxsin rudely kick a man out of his cab so they could take it, though, I wish this leg had gone the other way.
