Team South's guide gets them lost and they need to double back. Meanwhile, Team LA is still retching their way through the Fast Forward. The Chos' taxi runs out of gas, allowing the beauty queens to reach the road block clue first. In this roadblock, the team member who takes it must find four particular rubber stamps among the vendors located on the steps. Once done, they will taxi to the pit stop, Cathedral Andohalo, where their team member will be waiting. Dustin takes the roadblock for her team. Kandice arrives at the Cathedral, only to find Phil dancing with the greeter. Kandice joins the locals in some dancing of her own, showing off her Rockette moves.

Team South finally gets their clue. James finishes his plate of cow lips - only three more to go. The Chos get their roadblock clue, Godwin taking it for his team. Rob finishes his plate. Dustin finishes the roadblock and is off for the pit stop, just as the amazing editors cut in a shot of James stating that the other teams are probably still in the middle of the first tasks - "plowing a field" or something. Kimberly needs to take a break (and vomits again) and the rest of Team LA tells her not to worry, they've got time. Tyler finishes his plate. Kimberly finishes, finally, as Rob gloats to the models "my chick's awesome." Kimberly has been pretty awesome this whole race, so I appreciate the sentiment, just not the "chick" part. Team LA is off to the pit stop. Rob gives Kimberly a kiss on the lips despite the vomiting, which is kinda nice, if a little gross. Godwin is done with the roadblock.

Dustin's cab runs out of gas and she has to wait as the driver refuels. Mary and David get the clue and Mary takes the roadblock. Lyn takes the roadblock for her team. Godwin's driver RUNS OUT OF GAS! This has got to be some weird scam to run up the meter while refueling or something. Dustin gets to the pit stop and the beauty queens are Team #1. Tyler and James are Team #2. Mary helps Lyn by directing her to a stamp � considering their placement, very nice but not good racing. Rob and Kimberly are Team #3. The Chos, sliding into the map for some odd reason, are Team #4. Mary finishes the roadblock and is off. She's weepy in the car, she misses her kids, and she's tired. Lyn seems to be strolling through the roadblock. David and Mary arrive at the pit stop and they have to wait 30 minutes to see if they are eliminated. Lyn finally finishes and she's off to the pit stop. Lyn's taxi RUNS OUT OF GAS!!! Lyn gets to the pit stop and Lyn and Karlyn are Team #5. Lyn has a momentary display of elation (relief?) before she realizes that she just eliminated Team Kentucky. David and Mary are finally sent home, as they had 20 minutes left to their penalty. Team Alabama is pretty choked up about their elimination, maybe more so than David and Mary. Lyn sums it up when she notes that everything on this race was a first for David and Mary and it was great watching them go through it. As much as they annoyed me sometimes, I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. The race is going to be a little less enjoyable without them around.
