South Carolina shows up at the Roadblock and finishes before Big Brother gets there, which they do shortly thereafter. Jordan explains that even though they haven't seen any teams, someone could have gotten lost. She is totally correct but in order for them to catch up, they also have to avoid the temptation of getting lost.

Steve and Allie tear into the town of Reims and as Steve spots the Taittinger HQ (you know, the wrong place), he runs over something that does significant damage to their Race-provided Mercedes. According the footage we have seen, Steve is fortunately sober, so this is just bad luck on their part. The luck gets worse when they learn they have to head to another town. As they leave, Steve's custom body work is rubbing against the wheel and will not make it the distance to the town. With all the insight of the gay brothers last season bringing a calculator along, Steve's wife made him pack a small role of duct tape. Anyone who is familiar with MacGyver knows that this will fix the issue and they are on the road again.

Jeff and Jordan finish the Roadblock and join the misguided teams by following the advice to go back the Reims. Brent and Caite apparently have just been driving around asking random pedestrians for the location of Taittinger to no avail.

Back at the Terra Detour, Michael's self proclaimed eagle eye finds their grapes. This leads to the best line of the night and what really should have been the title of this episode. The following speaks for itself:

Michael: "If I could find crack in someone's rear end, I can find grapes in a vineyard."

It would've made me laugh so hard if my DVR program details listed the title as "If I can find crack in someone's rear end..." I am giggling just typing and yes, I am a 12-year-old at heart.

Super Fuzz gets the clue to head to the pitstop at a mansion in the town called L'Orrica.

Jet and Cord learn of their second driving mishap in a matter of hours and head to the correct town of Pierry. The non-cowboy brothers are the second ones at the Detour and opt for Tower. Jordan rationalizes that if given the choice between a luck or skill challenge they will pick the skill. Good for them for having a strategy that will blow up in their faces.

Carol and Brandy are now at the Detour and go with Terra. To drive home that Terra is the better way to go; the ladies find their marked grapes and leave for the pitstop while the brothers still have more than half their tower to go.

With no mystery at all, other than who thought it was a good idea to have a ridiculous mime welcoming teams, Super Fuzz is in first again. Admittedly, I am surprised at how well they are doing and working together and they really are the only team I can say that about for the last couple of legs, which have been littered with boneheaded moves.
