This opens the door for both Tim & Te Jay and Amy & Maya to stay out of last place. Not exactly close but both get to the pottery stand and each chose different tasks: guys go with Camp and girls go with Cream.

The dentists are making much better set-up progress than they did in Denmark’s similar task with the parking lot living room. And Misti adds, while Jim is sewing the tarp, “Jim went to med school before dental school and he was an all-star suture.” Consider me unshocked that someone on this team thinks they are collectively or individually the best at something.

The new Camp-ers of Kym & Alli are not quite as happy or confident. First, they don’t quite have the height need to set up the tarp. Secondly, Kym is very quickly determining they should’ve stuck out the Cream task. It doesn’t take much for Alli to be back onboard and off they go…again…to the goats.

This switcheroo and re-switcheroo was enough to let Adam & Bethany get the edge on them. It also has the cyclists just starting to churn while Tag Team is now there and milking the goats.

That means that Tim & Te Jay have also arrived at the Detour and begin to assemble their camp, which one of them eloquently describes as smelling like “camel fart.” Quite a way with words. Speaking of words, I think the editors intentionally left the double entendre-filled conversation between Tim & Te Jay into the final edit just to see if Standards & Practices would allow it. Trust me…everything they said could be taken the wrong way, if you mind was so inclined.

Team DDS doesn’t have time for innuendo. They are too busy reclaiming first place and heading to the next clue on the edge of the Atlas Mountains, where they must drive themselves.

Speaking of driving, let’s check in with Shelley & Nici. Yup, they are still driving…and it’s still in the wrong direction. They finally decide that before they circumnavigate the Earth in their Ford Fiesta, maybe they should stop and ask for help. A local gives them their lightbulb moment and turns them around. This episode should be called “Foregone Conclusion” and not “I feel like I just kissed a goat” because I think we all know the outcome at this point.

As the Detour churns, the teams try to replicate the musical stylings of the local farmer that was giving them their demonstration. Kym is scatting along and improvising like this is a Moroccan rap battle and Robbie is extolling the virtues of the butter churning workout - specifically, the bicep and back exercise he’s getting. Again, these two teams seem to just know how to have fun anywhere.

What else is fun is being the first ones done at your task and that would be Adam & Bethany at this one. They head out, and Amy & Maya stroll up. The girls inform us that butter is Maya’s area of specialty at school. I can’t help but wonder what kind of legitimate university allows people to major in candy and butter, and why haven’t I ever heard of that school before.
