Jason and Amy of The Amazing Race 23

Remember that satchel of coins that teams on The Amazing Race picked up in Norway? Me neither, but apparently they need them! The coins form a code that teams need to unlock a Ford Explorer and continue the race this week in Abu Dhabi.

 

Their first task is to drive over the sand dunes of Abu Dhabi to grab their next clue. The bunnies get stuck, revving the engine and sinking deeper and deeper into the sand, while most other teams finish without an issue. At Al Ain Oasis, teams face a Detour with the choices being Wedding Guests or Beauty Contest. In Wedding Guests, a traditional dish must be prepared and delivered to... you guessed it, wedding guests! In Beauty Contest, teams must pick a prize winning camel based on a list of beauty criteria.

 

A Double U-Turn this week forces teams to make some cutthroat decisions, starting with Travis and Nicole. After using the Express Pass, the doctors decide to U-Turn Leo and Jamal, because they lied about U-Turning Brandon and Adam. Who are we kidding? They're a threat, and Travis and Nicole know it. Tim and Marie decide the send Nicky and Kim back, who are already struggling to climb out of last place.

 

The Road Block asks one team member to complete an intense white water rafting course, while grabbing flags throughout the wild ride. After that, it was off to Jebel Hafeet, which is often touted as the best driving road in the world, and teams arrived at the Pit Stop there in the following order:

 

1. Nicole and Travis (both win any Ford they want)
2. Jason and Amy
3. Tim and Marie
4. Leo and Jamal
5. Ally and Ashley
6. Nicki and Kim

 

Nicole and Travis win one of the best prizes of the season, and we finally say goodbye to the Bunnies. Nicky and Kim had a good run, and escaped elimination twice, but the third time wasn't the charm for the baseball wives.

 


The Amazing Race airs Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
