Caroline & Jennifer finished last in The Amazing Race 24 Episode 9 but were again saved by non-elimination.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.
First: Dave & Connor – 2:35PM
Second: Jet & Cord – 2:36PM
Third: Leo & Jamal – 2:38PM
Fourth: Brendon & Rachel – 2:42PM
Fifth: Caroline & Jennifer – 2:58PM
Dave & Connor continue to whine about the U-turn from two legs ago, but they make a valid point. With the U-turn coming up, Brendon & Rachel not only can no longer use it but are also the main targets to have it used on them.
Teams will now fly to Seville, Spain.
First flight: Leo & Jamal, Dave & Connor
Second flight: Brendon & Rachel, Jet & Cord, Caroline & Jennifer
Despite the teams only being separated by minutes, somehow they end up on different flights. The hours of operation puts them closer together but does not fully equalize them. This is enough to virtually guarantee that the lead teams will U-turn Brendon & Rachel.
The road block requires them to shave a balloon in 60 seconds without popping it.
Road block (in order of arrival): Connor, Jamal, Jennifer, Jet, Rachel
There does not seem to be a lot to this road block. Even having to try multiple times just takes a few minutes.
Prior to the detour, Caroline & Jennifer must complete their speed bump, which requires them to deliver ham to a cafe, a task as simple as every other speed bump always is.
The detour is a choice between Spanish steps or run with the ballz. Spanish steps requires teams to learn a flamenco dance routine. Run with the ballz requires them to wear ball suits while avoiding the other bulls.
Run with the ballz: Dave & Connor, Leo & Jamal, Brendon & Rachel, Jet & Cord
Spanish steps: Caroline & Jennifer
Most teams choose to run with the ballz, which is simple enough, but dangerous. The guys who are knocking them around are not playing. During the task, Jamal injures his leg. Rachel does not suffer a similar fate, though she does insist they go easy on her because she’s a girl, a request that falls on deaf ears.
Next up is a double U-turn. This is bad news for the two best teams, Brendon & Rachel and Jet & Cord. Dave & Connor are not going to use the U-turn because they already did, but they wish they could. Though they promised their alliance otherwise, Leo & Jamal decide instead to U-turn the biggest threats, Jet & Cord. Their hope is that the cowboys will do their dirty work for them, not knowing that Brendon & Rachel have completed the detour quicker. A shocked Caroline & Jennifer U-turn Brendon & Rachel, but it’s way too late.
Plaza de Espana is the pit stop for this leg of the race.
First: Dave & Connor (win a trip to St. Croix)
Second: Brendon & Rachel
Third: Leo & Jamal
Fourth: Caroline & Jennifer
Eliminated: Jet & Cord
Their alliance probably won’t like it, but Leo & Jamal did take out the strongest team.
