After taking a week off last week for the Survivor finale, TAR came back with a double-header.
The first episode saw the teams head to Dubai. Rachel & Elissa had a bad cab driver and made a mistake in deciding to switch Detour challenges. This would have cost them the race, but they were saved by the non-elimination leg.
In the second episode, the teams made their way to Uganda. Janelle failed to read the clue at the Roadblock and wasted a lot of time looking for a watch vendor for her "Rolex". In the end, they still had a chance because of the Head-to-Head competition, but as usually happens in those, the team with experience won every one, and Rachel & Elissa survived to annoy us for another week.
Halfway through the race, and so far, every leg has been won by a former Amazing Race team.
