It's never too early to start marching at the St. Patrick's Day parade.

The Globetrotters and Ron & Christina arrive next and choose Purity while Kisha & Jen finally arrive thanks to their directions from a funeral home director. They also opt for Luck. Back at the dojo, the cheerleaders have decided to show up without any more vehicular carnage and Jaime chooses to do the Roadblock. All the others in the dojo are finishing the task as she gets ready.

With a glimpse at the polar opposites of this Detour as Zev & Justin and Gary & Mallory don essentially diapers and gauze while crawling in mud and the Globetrotters and Ron & Christina are each dressed in white gi and chanting. I stand by my choice of Purity at this point. The father and daughter apparently are afraid of pulling a Zev & Justin by losing their travel documents and carry their fanny pack with them.

Justin finds the frog first and trades it for their clue and they are now headed to the pitstop in first place again but Gary finds their frog, so they aren’t far behind. This seems to be there pattern all day.

As Zev & Justin leave and Gary & Mallory get cleaned off, Kisha & Jen dive right into the mud. Margie & Luke and Jet & Cord get their Detour clue next in sixth and seventh place respectively. On their heels are Ken & Vyxsin and Mel & Mike. All of these teams choose Luck.

So, here’s where we stand, all the teams have completed a Detour, are at a Detour or on their way to a Detour, except the girls who are still at the Roadblock. Unless Jaime & Cara can pull out a miraculous finish, it is looking like the cheerleaders’ elimination is a foregone conclusion. While Mike expresses his desire to beat Jaime & Cara, they cut to Jaime successfully completing the Roadblock after what seems to be the most failed attempts.

Flight & Easy are a stage ahead of Ron & Christina at Purity and complete it first. In their apparent haste to get moving, the Globetrotters pick up Christina’s fanny pack with their own backpacks. Realizing the error, they leave it behind in the changing room with Ron’s stuff. Of course, Christina gets out of the waterfall and is on the verge of tears that the bag is gone. Cue the slow motion and go to commercial.

In full Angry Dad mode, Ron discovers it in the changing room and he thinks they did it on purpose. That seems a bit off because it doesn’t seem like very effective sabotage to grab a bag and actually put it with the person’s other belongings.

A pantless Justin stops for directions as he and Zev are still jockeying with Gary & Mallory for first place. Kisha & Jen are in fifth behind the Purity teams as they find their luck frog and hit the road. Of course, with the exception of the cheerleaders, the rest of the teams are at the Luck task. Thanks to so many of them choosing Luck, we are "treated" to seeing much more of these racers than we really wanted to. By far the most attractive team is still securely in last place as Jaime & Cara get their Detour clue and go with Luck. Jet & Cord are the first team of this big bunch to find the frog and head to the Pitstop.
