Keith & Whitney fell apart at the detour in The Amazing Race 25 Episode 5 and were eliminated, but not before being U-turned by Shelley & Nici, who wasted the U-turn to prove a point about “karma”.
First: Kym & Alli – 8:15AM
Second: Adam & Bethany – 8:16AM
Third: Tim & Te Jay – 8:30AM
Fourth: Shelley & Nici – 8:34AM
Fifth: Brooke & Robbie – 8:39AM
Sixth: Misti & Jim – 8:41AM
Seventh: Amy & Maya – 8:42AM
They start off by going to work with the “famous” horse-drawn carriages, which will take them to their Ford cars. Some of the teams have more difficulty than others finding the bags of hay required to complete the task.
Following their struggles finding the hay, Shelley & Nici now get lost on their way to the detour, though unlike before they seem to be walking on egg shells trying to avoid blowing up at anyone.
The detour is a choice between camp or cream. In camp, teams must set up a traditional tent to the specifications of the nomadic people. In cream, teams must milk a goat and then make goat butter.
Cream: Adam & Bethany, Brooke & Robbie, Kym & Alli (switched to camp and back to cream), Amy & Maya, Shelley & Nici
Camp: Misti & Jim, Tim & Te Jay
I’m not sure how much the task choice really matters. There’s a patience task that you’ll finish eventually and one that is about attention to detail, neither seeming to be particularly more compelling than the other. Ultimately it seems like it will come down down to the people who had the most difficulty with directions earlier.
After finding out that it will take 45 minutes to churn the butter, Kym & Alli switch to the other detour. Then they have too much trouble and switch back.
The road block requires them to walk across a wobbly bridge with missing planks, hop on a zipline, and complete a puzzle.
Road block (in order for arrival): Misti, Bethany, Te Jay, Alli, Brooke, Maya, Shelley
The pit stop for this leg of the race is Casbah Dif, a fortress-like structure.
First: Misti & Jim (win a trip to Brazil)
Second: Adam & Bethany
Third: Kym & Alli
Fourth: Tim & Te Jay
Fifth: Brooke & Robbie
Sixth: Amy & Maya
Eliminated: Shelley & Nici
They are not even going to pretend that there is a battle for last here. Shelley & Nici have been eliminated, though they still finish on a relative high note.
