TAR 20 Episode 6: Going For Broke

The teams travel to Azerbaijan, and find themselves dancing at a fiery temple as they wait for sunrise. When they get their clue, the teams have the choice between a roadblock and a Fast Forward. Most of the teams play it safe, but Rachel/Dave and Joey/Danny decide to go for the Fast Forward.

The task is a drowning simulation. It looks terrifying, but it's simple enough for the teams to complete. Though Mark faces a challenge of his own, in battling his travel sickness. Mark lets Nary know that Bopper has a crush on her teammate.

Rachel/Dave go head-to-head with Joey/Danny in a race to stack hay bales. It's a tense match with a lot at stake. Once Rachel/Dave get the hang of it, they end up narrowly coming out on top in a close matchup. Joey/Danny race to the roadblock knowing they're miles behind now, whereas Rachel/Dave get to the pit stop in 1st.

Their next clue is in a carpet shop, and a trailing Vanessa/Ralph waste even more time when they fail to find the clue in first place. One of the tasks is to scrape oil of a man's body, which Art/JJ are very weirded out by. The border patrol guys complete it first, which Brendon/Rachel right behind them. Bopper/Mark complete a great comeback to finish 3rd, their highest spot so far.

Nary/Jamie and Vanessa/Ralph decide to do the other task, which is to hunt for the special apple in the car. It turns out to be a true needle in a haystack contest. Both of them finish before Joey/Danny arrive, but Vanessa/Ralph stall when they can't find their taxi driver.

Vanessa/Ralph cut it close one again and check in 6th. Joey/Danny arrive last and are eliminated. The boys are disappointed because they feel they were just finally hitting their stride in the race. But that's what you get when you take a gamble and lose.

3. Bopper/Mark
