The Amazing Race Recap for Our Alliance Strikes Again
It is mega leg week on CBS’s The Amazing Race! The teams must complete two detours and two roadblocks in Cordoba, Argentina, starting at Plaza del Bicentenario.
Detour 1! They can either do Bicicleta, which has them crush plastic bottles while riding a stationary bike, or Boleadora, which has them throw and wrap a bola around a moving target. They only have ten attempts on the latter detour before they must start over.
Ricky/Cesar, Juan/Shane, Angie/Danny, Amber/Vinny and Rod/Leticia all choose the second detour.
Sunny/Bizzy and Derek/Shelisa get lost, while Yvonne/Melissa choose to join the others at the same detour.
Danny/Angie choose to change detours, as do Amber/Vinny and Rod/Leticia, while Ricky and Cesar struggle.
Juan/Shane finish and head to Circuito Lobo Race.
Derek/Shelisa and Sunny/Bizzy finally arrive, with the latter choosing the Bicicleta detour and the former choosing to join the Boleadora detour.
Ricky/Cesar finally finish and head to the next destination. One by one, other teams finish their detours and follow. However, Melissa/Yvonne and Derek/Shelisa struggle, with the former finally finishing and the latter choosing to switch detours.
Ricky/Cesar pull ahead and become the first team to complete the roadblock. One team member must memorize a racecar course and ride with a professional driver. Ricky decides to complete it.

Ricky struggles with the roadblock.

After four tries, Ricky completes the roadblock and heads to the next part of the leg.

Melissa and Sunny also complete the roadblock for their respective teams.
Derek/Shelisa finally arrive at the roadblock, with Derek taking one for the team.
Roadblock 2! One team member must score a goal in a bubble soccer match. Shane completes it quickly and heads to Mirador del Coniferal, followed quickly by Ricky/Cesar.
