Amazing Race 3 - Episode 5

The Amazing Race 3
"What Happens If I Slip? Am I Just Hanging Off A Cliff?"

Screen Capture of Amazing Race 3 Episode 5 - Michael & Kathy are eliminated from the race
Teams leave the Torre de Belem, looking for "the western most point of continental Europe" - Cabo da Roca, just 22 miles away. The Detour at Cabo - Ropes or Slopes. In Ropes, teams take a shuttle bus to the top of the Ursa Cliffs and repel 300 feet down to the shoreline below. Slopes is hiking down, a longer and more demanding walk than the quick repelling. Aaron & Arianne get there first. When Flo & Zach get there, Flo starts to seriously freak out over the repelling, crying hysterically as she goes over the edge. She gives up, and they go on their hike. After successfully completing the task, the next segment is to drive 250 miles to Algeciras, Spain, to take a ferry to Tangier, Morocco. The big screwup actually come on the drive to Algeciras, when teams had to fuel-up at a gas station. The problem was that the trucks they were driving were diesel trucks. Aaron & Arianne (who are in the lead), Teri & Ian, Michael & Kathy, and Flo & Zach all fill-up with unleaded gasoline. All break down on the side of the road, everybody handles the situation differently (F&Z get a tow truck and get it fixed quickly, T&I pull the fuel line and drain the tank, A&A get help by the police.) Michael & Kathy, however, check into a 4-star hotel and spend the night, have the car towed to a Mitsubishi dealer, and just wait for the verdict. When finally in Tangier, the teams have to find the Viajes Flandria Travel Agency and book a ride on charter buses to Fez, to the Old City. Next: Roadblock. A team member runs through a marketplace known for its leather. Find a tannery that has 25 vats of "foul smelling dye". The clues are hidden in only three vats. The clues (when finally found), have to take a marked vehicle and drive across town to this leg's Pit Stop - Borj Nord Fortress. Team #1 was The Brothers Ken & Gerard. They also each won a Kodak EasyShare digital camera "that can be enjoyed after the race". They were followed by Andre & Damon and Derek & Drew, and then John Vito & Jill and Flo & Zach step on the mat together (something we haven't seen this year). Because of their delays, Michael & Kathy arrive last and are eliminated from the race. Next show: Road to Marrakesh. (Country Music Awards next week.)
