The Amazing Race – Episode 35.06 – Driving Head-On Into Scooters

In the latest episode of The Amazing Race, the stakes were higher than ever as the teams found themselves in the bustling streets of Jaipur, India. The episode saw the teams navigating through the city’s chaotic traffic on rickshaws, transporting building materials and bundling up flowers for one of the detours. The episode also marked a first in the history of the show, with the introduction of mandatory U-turn voting. This twist meant that the team with the most votes had to complete both detours, adding an extra layer of challenge and strategy to the race.

The episode was not without its dramatic moments. Steve and Anna Leigh, a father-daughter team, found themselves in a predicament when they realized they had failed to deliver their flower receipts from the previous task. Despite this setback, they managed to bounce back and secure the first-place finish, proving that even in the face of adversity, perseverance pays off.

However, not all teams were as fortunate. The engaged couple, Joe and Ian, found themselves struggling with a challenge that required them to recreate a painting in portrait mode. This struggle led to a nail-biting rickshaw race against another team, Morgan and Lena. Unfortunately, Joe and Ian lost by just a few seconds, leading to their elimination from the race. Their journey throughout the race was filled with ups and downs, but their elimination serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of The Amazing Race.
