Episodes 7 and 8: "There aren't any starving kids in Armenia, do y'all even research the country?" -Patrick
The Final 5 Teams raced from Rabat, Morocco, to their next destination, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Before leaving, teams had to claim spots on one of two flights by completing a word search with the names of various countries around the world hidden. All teams found the puzzle surprisingly easy, however, the time differences from the previous leg proved too difficult to make up for most teams.
Flight #1 departed at 1:20 PM and arrived at 3:20 AM with a connection via Cairo
Allie/Patrick
Anthony/Alex
Flight #2 departed at 6:20 PM and arrived at 8:20 PM with a connection via Lagos
Joey/Mike
Nolan/Max
Will/Brad
Once teams landed in Addis Ababa, they had to travel over 100 kilometers to the Menagesha National Park. Although their flight landed 5 hours before the second flight, most the lead that Allie/Patrick and Anthony/Alex had was lost due to the park not opening until 9 AM.
In the National Park, teams spent the day getting familiar with nature. Teams first encountered a Roadblock, which had one member from each team run a series of trials looking for the trial that has their clue at the end. All racers found the trail easy, however the average team spent about 45 minutes lost in the jungle.
Teams continued in the Menagesha National Park where they encountered the Detour which had teams being precise in their submission through a shopping task or a timing task. With all teams choosing the shopping task and sailing through it, making teams wonder if there was more that met the eye for this leg of the race...
However, it was on top of a cliff-side overlooking the Menagesha National Park that teams hiked to their next Pit Stop. The last team to arrive here MAY be eliminated...
