The Amazing Race season 26, episode 3, “#MurphysLaw.” just finished airing! Read our recap to find out which team got eliminated.
The teams start the day by flying to Thailand, where they must go to Patong Beach for their first clue. As winners of the last leg, Jenny and Jelani get to leave first. But with all the counters closed for the night, everyone else has time to catch up.
The teams split up into three flights with the earliest arriving at 4:50 p.m. and the latest at 9:30 a.m. the next day. When the teams get to Patong Beach, they find that their clues tell them what time they will start the next morning, with the earliest being 8:30 a.m.
The clue in the morning tells the teams to go to the upside house for their next clue. Aly and Steve arrive there first and find the clue for the Detour. Mike and Rochelle and Matt and Ashley are right behind them, though. Harley and Jonathan arrive at Patong Beach while the other teams are on their way to the house.
Detour
The teams must choose to ski around a waterpark or tree and deliver a plate of food on a zip line. Aly and Steve decide to try the ski but quickly realize how hard it’s going to be. Matt and Ashley head to the tree challenge with Jenny and Jelani and Hayley and Blair.
When Jenny and Jelani do their plates wrong, Blair assumes it’s right and ignores Hayley’s concerns. So naturally she gets very upset when they learn that it’s the wrong way. But Matt and Ashley, who have full plates, end up spilling and have to go again anyway.
Mike and Rochelle finish the Detour first and get the clue to go to My Way Cabaret. Hayley and Blair finish second despite their early troubles, but still continue to fight. Laura and Tyler finish third as the teams at the ski challenge decide to switch to the zip line.
Harley and Jonathan arrive at the zip line after everyone else has left but finish quickly.
Route Info
At My Way Cabaret the teams must dress up to preform with the drag queens for their next clue. Although Mike and Rochelle arrive first and quickly get ready, they’re stressed to have to learn another dance routine. But most of the guys are more worried about having to wear makeup and dance in heels.
After a couple of tries Mike and Rochelle finish for first place and get the clue for the Pit Stop. Hayley and Blair get it right on their first try and are in second place, but can they catch up with Mike and Rochelle?
Matt and Ashley have a crisis when they realize they left behind a fanny pack at the Cabaret, but luckily they easily find it. Harley and Jonathan remain in last place but still have high spirits while trying drag for the first time.
Pit Stop
Teams must head to Baba Nest Rooftop Bar for the third pit stop on The Amazing Race season 26.
Mike and Rochelle win first place and a trip to the Czech Republic.
The remaining teams arrive in the following place:
2nd place: Hayley and Blair
3rd place: Jelani and Jenny
4th place: Laura and Tyler
5th place: Aly and Steve
6th place: Matt and Ashley
7th place: Bergen and Kurt
8th place: Jeff and Jackie
Matt surprised Ashley by getting down on one knee and proposing to her in front of Phil and the other teams.
In Last place are Harley and Jonathan, but it’s a non-elimination leg and they get to continue the race!
