The Amazing Race season 26, episode 6, “Smells Like a Million Bucks,” just finished airing! Read our recap to find out which team got eliminated.
The teams head to Monaco where they must find the hotel Westminster to get properly dressed for their first challenge. Aly and Steve are the only ones to get on the first flight, about an hour ahead of everyone else. Rochelle and Mike arrive last but end up getting standby tickets to the first flight.
At the hotel, Aly, Steve, Mike, and Rochelle pick out some fancy threads. They’re told to pick up their clothes the next morning. When the rest of the teams arrive, the girls have lots of fun trying on the dresses. Jeff and Jackie have so much fun trying on clothes that it inspires them to kiss.
Road Block
The next morning, the teams get dressed up and board helicopters. At the Road Block they must spoil their partners by picking up two romantic gifts inspired by Grace Kelly.
Steve and Mike are the first two to take on the Road Block while their partners wait at a yacht. Jenny and Laura decide to team together while Hayley goes it on her own. Jackie and Matt are the last two to start the Road Block for their teams.
Steve finishes first and brings his gifts for Aly which awards them the next clue for the Casino de Monte Carlo. Meanwhile, Mike has a hard time trying to decide where to go look at the yachts and makes the wrong decision. Despite this, Mike still comes in second place.
Jenny and Laura come in third and fourth, it seems working together paid off. Hayley comes in fifth, Jackie in sixth, and Matt comes last in seventh.
Detour
At the Casino de Monte Carlo Aly and Steve find out that they will have to gamble to pick a Detour. If roulette table lands red they will head to “Don’t Slack Off” and if it lands on black they will go to “Win By a Nose.”
Aly and Steve land on “Win By a Nose” where they have to drive to a church. Also heading to “Win By a Nose” is Mike and Rochelle, Laura and Tyler. Heading to “Don’t Slack Off” are Jenny and Jelani, Hayley and Blair, Jeff and Jackie, Matt and Ashley. The teams quickly learn that navigating Monaco isn’t easy.
Mike and Rochelle are the first to arrive at “Win By a Nose” where they learn they must make a perfume following a recipe. The teams run into trouble when they realize that some of the ingredients were unmarked and they had to use their sense of smell to figure out what they were. As chemistry minors in college, Blair and Hayley excel.
At “Don’t Slack Off” the teams must zipline across a ravine two thousand feet above the city of Monaco. Jenny and Jelani are the first ones to tackle the ziplines, they’re also the first ones to finish the Detour. But they make a fatal error when driving and head in the wrong direction.
