The teams race through Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the teams are off in search of the “Chasqui”. Rachel and Dave are first to leave since they were the first team to arrive at the pit stop. Rachel R. and Brendon are next, followed by Art & JJ. Joey and Danny are the last team to leave, but everyone meets at the Square and they all have to wait until daylight leaving none of the teams with an edge.
The teams receive their clue for a Detour, “Boil My Water” where they build a solar oven and have to boil a pot of water or “Light My Fire” where they have to pack a donkey. All of the teams decide to build the solar oven, except for Art & JJ who decide to head to the donkey challenge, but first get lost trying to find it. It takes ages for some of the water to boil but not long for others. Bopper and Mark are the first team and Art and AJ are 2nd to hear the sound of the whistle of boiling water. The last team to hear the whistle are Nary and Jamie.
An 18 hour bus ride to the city of Buenos Aires is next. The teams head to the Salta bus terminal. Half of the teams make it on the first bus. A few teams make it on the 2nd bus and the two lady teams are on the final bus to leave. The 2nd bus has to stop and pull over due to a shattered window – which causes a two hour delay for the teams on this bus.
Rachel and Dave are the first team to get their next clue. It’s a Roadblock called “Where’s The Beef?”. Teams have to use their math skills without calculators at the world’s largest cattle market. Rachel and Dave are the first team to finish and head to the next pit stop, El Gomero, a two thousand year old rubber tree.
Rachel and Dave are team 1 for the 2nd time in a row and win a trip to Grenada as an added bonus. Art and JJ are team number two and aren’t happy as they wanted to be first. The 2nd bus is still heading to El Gomero. Bopper and Mark are 3rd. Brendon and Rachel are team number four to arrive. Kerri and Stacy are the 5th team to arrive and do a cheer. Nary and Jamie are 6th, Vanessa and Ralph are 7th, Joe and Danny are 8th and Elliot and Andrew are team number 9 meaning that Dave and Cherie are eliminated from the race. Dave says they are still the luckiest couple on earth because they have each other.
