Previously on The Amazing Race,
5 teams raced from Lisbon to northern Tanzania. At the Roadblock, some teams struggled to figure out some facts about Lake Victoria. At the Detour, some teams became human Expedias, but for others, they chose to be more like marine biologists. After a big flat tire in the 3rd leg, Violet and Garrett finally caught up to place 3rd! For Dylan and Nels, however, they are the luckiest unluckiest team so far, because the teams are still racing!
5 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
"Dylan and Nels, I am sorry to tell you that you guys are last. However, you guys are still racing because your next leg is right now."
Make your way by plane to Amman, the capital city of Jordan.
