And the winner is....

Spoiler!

Well first, the teams have to fly from Peru to Dallas. All four teams make the same flight and race to the first task at AT&T stadium. A team member must get a clue, catch a touchdown pass, and then kick an extra point. All the guys choose to do it. MIke is first to go and second last to finish. Blair and Tyler finish it in short order. Jelani can't kick an extra point and they leave last. All are off to some ranch.

Oh how the stress gets to people. Tyler and Laura's cab driver has no idea where the ranch is so instead of trying to find out where it is they decide they'll just follow Blair and Hayley. Blair and HAyley notice this and decide to wait for some unknown reason! All the waiting allows the other two teams to catch up. Jenny and Jelani get in their cab but the bad cab driver mojo strikes Mike and Rochelle. He didn't wait and they are cabless and lose valuable time. They finally get a cab and a couple miles from the ranch the cabbie decides he needs gas and turns around to get it. So needless to say the ranch was the elimination point and Mike and Rochelle go home.

Back to the ranch...they had to wrangle some cattle. Blair and Hayley leave with a substantial lead and are off to rappel down reunion tower. The other two teams leave together though not before Jenny gets bucked off her horse. Hayley rappels down the tower looking for some markers on where to go. Little miss "you need to listen to me because I'm always right" misses the gargantuan amazing race flags flying in a field and spots some red pole atop a parking garage. I'll cut to the chase. Blair and Hayley are done as they go on a wild goose chase and get passed in a big way by the other teams.

The other two teams spot the flags and track down where the flags are once on the ground. The lawyers make a wrong turn in the cab and they lose some precious time. Tyler and Laura reach the field and get to drive a Monster truck through a mud pit to a shed. The shed is locked with a 4 digit padlock that opens by the teams determining which leg # the four cities written on the door were from. Tyler and LAura struggle allowing Jenny and Jelani to pass them.

Once the shed is opened there is a collection of selfies that they must put on map in chronilogical order from right to left. Tyler and Laura breeze through the task and are back in the Monster truck. The lawyers struggle and the short lived lead is lost. As Tyler and LAura leave they see Blair and Hayley who as I mentioned are toast. Tyler and Laura now know they are not second but actually heading to the new continental bridge in Dallas for the finish and a million dollars.

they did try some drama editing but it was clear Tyler and Laura were going to cross first. And they do. They're happy. The lawyers are proud and happy. Blair and Hayley are even happy with Blair being very supportive...it is clear at this time the two have become somewhat friends. We get an update that Jeff and Jackie a blind date couple are still dating.

So congrats to Cheese and ClubFlames who won a piece of the internets last night.
