Previously on The Amazing Race,
9 teams made their way from Barranquilla, Colombia to Johannesburg and Soweto, South Africa. At the roadblock, some teams had their lucky charm with them, but for others, it was hard luck reserved just for them. At the detour in Soweto, teams learned just how difficult history can be. Ultimately, Barry, along with his new partner, Gamo, won their 2nd leg of race. As for Tomas and his new partner, Skittle, they strongly struggled with the leg and became the first team not eliminated at the pitstop.
8 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

This is Soweto, a city that is about a half hour away from the big city of Johannesburg. This city seems rather small, but it is one of the most populous in the country of South Africa. In this city is one of the best known landmarks in the country, the Orlando Towers.
These two towers were cooling towers from 1942-1998 at the Orlando Power Station. Today, they are home to the biggest mural in Africa, and one of the biggest in the world. These two tallest buildings in the city are where teams will start the 4th leg in a race around the world.
During the pitstop, 4 players were sent home due to injuries while bungee jumping. These 4 were then replaced by new players who have similar relationships to their partners.
