Double episode this week which meant the first leg was non-elimination.

Racers flew from Monaco to Namibia for an african adventure. Hayley is almost nice for a few minutes and then turns back to Hayley (once the "hot" bush pilot is gone). Aly and Steve fall behind on the road block as the strategy of just alternating them costs them dearly. Aly spends more time complaining that it should be Steve building the hut than actually building the hut and fall behind a few teams.

At the detour they get forced into tracking elephants (numbers game) instead of the clearly quicker task of feeding wild dogs. The same happens to Hayley and Blair. Blair does all the work in the tracking presumably because if it gets done wrong he'll get blamed anyways. The upshot of all of this is that Aly and Steve are last out of the detour. Mike/Rochell somehow get lost and fall behind but then Steve decides to not heed the shrill nagging/warnings from Aly and drives off the side of the track and gets a flat, allowing Mike/Rochelle to pass them. Steve and Aly finish last and have a speed bump next leg.

Next leg remains in Africa. Steve and Aly trail the pack essentially from start to finish (made worse by being u-turned) and get eliminated. Read an interview after with Steve and Aly and it sounds like they trailed second last (Mike/Rochelle) by over 2 hours.

Mike nearly gets castrated by a zebra kick. Rochelle says he can meet her kid.

And with that we have the final 5 teams:
Tyler and Laura (blind date)
Matt and Ashley (engaged)
Blair and Hayley (blind date from hell)
Jelani and Jenny (blind date)
Mike and ROchelle (dating).

I finally have company and Brocoli is eliminated. getback takes a first hit. Cheese and ClubFlames are smugly sitting with both selections still in the race.

Brocoli - Aly & Steve / Bergen & Kurt

D to the iddy - Blair & Hayley / Jackie & Jeffrey

killer_carlson - Jelani & Jenny / Harley & Jonathon

Cheese - Rochelle & Mike / Tyler & Laura

Regulator75 - Jackie & Jeffrey / Jelani & Jenny

Superflyer - Harley & Johnathan / Matt & Ashley

ernie - CJ & Lebya / Jeff & Lyda

getbak - Matt & Ashley / Aly & Steve

ClubFlames - Tyler & Laura / Blair & Hayley
