The Amazing Race season 26, episode 10, “Fruits of Our Labor,” just finished airing! Read our recap to find out which team got eliminated.
Laura and Tyler leave first and find out that they are heading to Peru. They’re hoping that since it’s Laura’s birthday that they will have extra luck. But they fail to question the pre-booked tickets, while Blair and Hayley get an earlier flight. Jenny and Jelani grab the same flight before it’s booked up. The other teams take the opportunity to catch up on sleep.
When Hayley and Blair, Jenny and Jelani get to Peru they learn that they can’t start the race until the next morning. The clue tells them to go to Plazuela De La Merced so they grab taxis but quickly get lost and Hayley starts to lose her temper. From the Plazuela they have to head to San Fernando for the next clue.
The rest of the teams finally land and race to the first clue in taxis. Laura and Tyler have a hard time finding the clue and get wrong directions from a local, which leads Matt and Ashley astray. Mike and Rochelle pull ahead of them when they find the clue.
Road Block
At the Road Block the teams must work with a professional sugar cane cutter and harvest a section of a field. Jenny steps up to do the Road Block and quickly regrets her decision when she sees how long her row is. Hayley also tries the Road Block even though she admits to being bad at manual labor.
Jenny finishes first and the clue tells them to head to a stadium to deliver their sugar cane, they must also record the data from their fitbit. Hayley and Blair aren’t too far behind them.
While Matt and Ashley are stuck trying to finish their Road Bump, Mike and Rochelle arrive at the Road Block with Laura and Tyler. This time the guys take charge and start chopping at high speed. As they’re leaving, Matt and Ashley arrive.
Step Up and Take Charge
The teams must use the data from their fitbit to calculate how many steps they would need to take to burn off the calories from a local drink. Jenny and Jelani have no problems and finish before Blair and Hayley arrive.
Laura and Tyler continue to stay neck and neck with Mike and Rochelle at the fitbit challenge. Matt and Ashley have a little trouble but eventually figure out the math.
Detour
In Mamas the teams must shop for and deliver all of the ingredients on a list to “La Señora de la Chicha.” In Papas they must collect, deliver, and sort bags of potatoes in order to receive the next clue.
Jenny and Jelani go to sort the potatoes and do their best to figure out the four different types. When they drop off the potatoes with the vendor it’s incorrect and their potatoes are dropped all over the floor.
Blair and Hayley shop for ingredients and find it pretty easy since Blair speaks Spanish. For once Hayley has something nice to say about him. After dropping off the ingredients they get the clue for the Pit Stop.
Laura and Tyler get taken to the potatoes challenge by their taxi driver despite wanting to look for the ingredients. But they decide to go for it anyways so that they don’t waste any time. Meanwhile, Mike and Rochelle get shopping with the help of locals.
Matt and Ashley catch up as the other teams are finishing their Detours but have a hard time figuring out where the starting point is. They also end up being brought to the potato field but feel better when they see cute piglets.
Pit Stop
Hayley and Blair arrive at the Pit Stop first and win the fitbit fitness kit. They tell Phil that despite the arguing they’re BFF’s. We’re just as confused as Phil.
Second place: Jenny and Jelani
Third place: Mike and Rochelle
Fourth place: Laura and Tyler
Matt and Ashley come in last place and are eliminated from The Amazing Race.
