KARMA BITES BEAUTY QUEENS
As Teams traveled to the stunning desert landscape of Ouarzazate, Morocco, single moms Lyn & Karlyn appeared doomed after being yielded by the beauty queens, but a fortuitous car breakdown for Rob & Kimberly and bad navigating by the beauty queens vaulted them into second place, their highest finish yet. Meanwhile, last place Dustin & Kandice received a reprieve, but are now marked for elimination.

THE ROAD TO MOROCCO
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 7:33am, models Tyler & James opened their clue that instructed them to fly nearly 3000 miles to Ouarzazate, Morocco, an oasis wedged between the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. Once they landed, they had to drive four miles to the Kasbah district and find a local antique shop known as Antiquities du Sud where they had to choose one of four unique good luck charms, one of which would bring good fortune at the Pit Stop.

Although they left the Pit Stop in first place, the models stumbled in finding the airport allowing their rivals, the beauty queens, to arrive there first. Using a local for information, Dustin & Kandice discovered that the fastest flight to Casablanca, Morocco, a city they needed to connect through, was via Milan, Italy, landing at 3:00pm. However, they also received a warning about the incredibly tight connection for the flight from Milan to Casablanca. To complete the itinerary, they also booked the final leg from Casablanca to Ouarzazate departing at 10:55pm.

Arriving at the airport second, models Tyler & James received the bad news that the Milan flight was sold out. Instead, they met up with dating couple Rob & Kimberly to book an Air France flight through Paris landing in Casablanca at 4:35pm. Like the beauty queens though, the two Teams booked the 10:55pm flight from Casablanca to Ouarzazate.

Last place single moms Lyn & Karlyn arrived last at the airport and booked the same flight from Kiev to Paris as Rob & Kimberly and Tyler & James. However, they had to take a later flight from Paris to Casablanca, landing at 10:00pm, just in time to connect from Casablanca with the other Teams. The single moms, now with no alliance at all, used their time wisely in Paris by buying a map of Ouarzazate and figuring out where they needed to drive when they landed.

SKIN OF THEIR TEETH
Meanwhile, in Milan, potential disaster struck for the beauty queens as they missed their connection from Milan to Casablanca. While the beauty queens frantically searched for another flight that would get them into Casablanca by 10:55pm for the connection to Ouarzazate, Rob & Kimberly and Tyler & James nearly burst with anticipation when they saw no blonde hair in the Casablanca airport. Rob joked, "They seeped something into my blood system." James added, "The blondes man, they have too much power over us."

Landing in Casablanca just in time to make the connection, the beauty queens sat on the plane to Ouarzazate as the other Teams boarded with shocked and disappointed looks. Rob later commented, "I was literally crushed when I saw them. They took an unnecessary risk to gain time to get to an airport where we were all connecting from. I was hoping the way they played the game would be their fatal mistake."

MOMS TAKE CHARGE
Landing in Ouarzazate, beauty queens Dustin & Kandice emerged from the airport in first place, hoping to hire a taxi to take them to the antique shop before the other Teams would spot them. However, just as they exited the airport parking lot, Tyler & James and Rob & Kimberly saw Dustin & Kandice and decided to try and catch up to them. Just as the two Teams caught up to the beauty queens, the taxi they paid for came to a stop as the driver needed to ask for directions.

Meanwhile, having consulted maps during their layover in Paris, single moms Lyn & Karlyn drove directly to the antique shop where they selected a good luck charm and received their next clue. Opening it, they discovered they needed to drive six miles to Atlas Studios, a famous Moroccan backlot used to shoot such epic films as Cleopatra and Gladiator. The moms also learned that a Yield, which Teams can use to stop a Team behind them from racing, would also be waiting there.

As Lyn & Karlyn drove away, they passed the three Teams still on the side of the road where Tyler mistakenly laughed, "They don't know what they're doing." With the Yield on their mind, the single moms had their target in mind: Dustin & Kandice, who fell to last place after enlisting the help of a local boy who led them to the wrong location. Karlyn remarked, "This is gonna be fun. They usually get everywhere before we do." Karlyn's glee was short lived however, because when the single moms pulled up at the closed gated, a sign informed them it wouldn't open until 8:00am. A disappointed Karlyn said, "So frustrating, the one time we get here first." Believing the blondes beat them, Tyler & James and Rob & Kimberly arrived at the studio shocked to see Lyn & Karlyn sleeping in their car. Tyler commented, "That's a curveball." Arriving at the studio in last place, a relived Dustin noted, "We're hoping to wake up tomorrow to no mistakes."

MOMS WAIT IT OUT
The next morning at 8:00am, the studio gates opened as the four Teams sprinted to the Yield mat waiting inside. Tyler & James and Rob & Kimberly arrived on the mat first and second respectively and chose not to exercise their Yield power. The beauty queens arrived in third place and Yielded Lyn & Karlyn, saying, "They're going to hate us, but if we didn't do this right now, we wouldn't be playing our best game." Beginning the long wait for the sandglass to empty, a bitter Karlyn sniped, "I already hated them. They've shown no character at all in this game. That's on them to live with."

The three Teams ahead of the Yielded single moms opened their next clue to find a Roadblock. In this Roadblock, one team member had to join a professional charioteer in a high-speed race around the stadium. During the hair-raising ride, they had to pull down two flags matching the plumes worn by their horse.

As Dustin, Rob, and James all took to the chariots dressed in traditional Roman attire, James quickly fell behind the other Teams when he horses got spooked and ran off of the track. Dustin took an early lead, later commenting, "I felt like a legitimate gladiator. The crowds were screaming and I was victorious in battle." After grabbing her two flags, with Rob close behind, Dustin rode her chariot past Lyn & Karlyn who still waited on the Yield mat. A fuming Karlyn took the opportunity to flip Dustin off before being chastised by her partner for being "ugly."

Opening their clues, Rob & Kimberly and Dustin & Kandice decided to work together to find their next location 22 miles away at the Café La Pirgola in the town of Idelssan. The two Teams had difficulties finding someone to lead them to Idelssan allowing third place Tyler & James to surge ahead with the help of a taxi they enlisted as everyone headed to Idelssan together.

STRANDED AGAIN
On the way to Idelssan, Dustin & Kandice noticed that Rob & Kimberly's tire was flat, but chose not to tell them until a few minutes later as Kandice joked, "We're not evil blondes. We're just competitive blondes." Faced with another car breakdown, the dating couple couldn't find a jack to fix their tire. Meanwhile, having breezed through the Roadblock with nobody else there, Lyn & Karlyn passed by the stranded dating couple as Karlyn quipped, "If you have trouble every time you get in a car, then maybe it's you, not the car."

Arriving at the Café Pirgola, Tyler & James and Dustin & Kandice opened their clue to find a Detour having to choose between Throw It and Grind It. In Throw It, Teams traveled four miles to the town of Guedara and throw two properly made pots on a wheel at a local pottery shop. In Grind It, Teams traveled four miles back towards the town of Ouarzazate to the North Africa Horse and Olive Farm where they had to grind 77 pounds of olives and fill pressing sleeves with the paste. In both Detour options, only three work stations were available, first come first serve.

Initially, Tyler & James opted to throw pots, but changed their mind for the same reason as Dustin & Kandice: traveling back to the familiar city of Ouarzazate. While the beauty queens proceeded to blow past the still stranded Rob & Kimberly and enraging Rob in the process, Tyler & James stopped long enough to tell them where the next clue would be waiting for them. With Lyn & Karlyn passing them also on the way to grind olives, Rob & Kimberly finally got their tire fixed after a local stopped to help them.

REVERSAL OF FORTUNE
With Rob & Kimberly deciding to choose olives as well, the race to the North Africa Horse and Olive Farm became crucial as only three workstations would be available for use. Last place Rob & Kimberly appeared to be the odd Team out until Dustin & Kandice completely missed the sign and drove right past it. After the models and single moms began turning the heavy stone wheel to crush black olives, the dating couple and beauty queens remained on the road to the farm.

The beauty queens didn't appear very concerned while driving, but that changed when they pulled into the parking lot to see all three trucks there. An incredulous Dustin asked, "How did they all get here so fricking fast? We Yielded them and now they're ahead of us." As Dustin & Kandice waited for a workstation to open, Tyler & James battled Lyn & Karlyn for first place. As she scooped olive paste, Karlyn noted, "That's what they get. We really feel vindicated now that the Barbies are here and they have to wait." The models edged out the single moms by moments to complete the task first and rip open their clue instructing them to drive 25 miles on the road to Marrakech to the Pit Stop at a nomadic Berber camp. Right on the models' tail, an ecstatic Lyn & Karlyn drove off, exclaiming, "The Yield must have been good luck for us and it sucks for the Barbies. Karma is a B. Their evilness has finally bitten them back."

ON TOP AGAIN
As Rob & Kimberly completed grinding olives with Dustin & Kandice still behind, Tyler & James pulled into the Berber camp in first place. As they prematurely celebrated another victory during their run to the mat, James realized that they forgot the good luck charm. As the models ran back to the car, Lyn & Karlyn pulled into the camp and a footrace ensued. While the single moms put up a good fight, models Tyler & James sealed another victory and, when their charm matched the charm of the greeter, they received the good news from Phil they both won a Sprint Treo 700P and a year's worth of service.

BLONDE AMBITION
Although the beauty queens had an opportunity to catch up when Rob & Kimberly couldn't find Phil in the barren desert, the dating couple eventually stepped onto the mat in third place. Arriving in last place, the beauty queens made the dreaded run to the mat as Dustin said, "I feel so numb. I don't even feel like crying."

On the mat, Phil informed the relieved and thrilled Dustin & Kandice that this was a non-elimination leg, so, while they were spared, they now faced a thirty-minute penalty on the next leg if they didn't finish first. Kandice remarked, "We're not playing nice Kandice and Dustin. We Yielded someone today. We didn't stop when someone's tire went flat. We're just playing hardcore." Dustin added, "We want to do it better. We want to do it faster and we want to win.
