"The Amazing Race" Recap: "I Never Looked So Foolish in My Whole Entire Life"

The episode started off with the Cowboys still struggling with the word puzzle. While everyone had sailed off after reciting the pass phrase, "I am between the devil and the deep blue sea," Jet and Cord were still between furrowed brows and frustrated drawls of "Son of a buck!"

All of the other teams had sailed through the bay and had already received the next clue, which instructed them to head back to Sydney and look for "To Sail To Stop," a sculpture of an anchor next to Sydney's Town Hall. The first six teams to find it would be placed on an earlier charter flight to a small mining town a few hundred miles from Sydney. The remaining teams would be placed on a later flight.

Some of the teams climbed into cabs back to Sydney to look for "To Sail to Stop." Kisha and Jen's cabbie drove them up to the Maritime Museum. The sisters were skeptical that they were at the right place, but the cabbie assured them that they were.

They were at the wrong place.

So Kisha did what anyone in 2011 would do: She found the nearest internet kiosk to consult the guru known as Google. While she was Googling away, Zev and Justin strolled in the door, discovered Kisha and Jen and decided to help them out by looking over Kisha's shoulders as she Googled. After Kisha concluded that the next clue was at Town Hall, Zev and Justin plodded after them. Both teams reached Town Hall first and were placed on the first flight.

Some of the other teams took a ferry back to Sydney, including Mel and Mike. Father and son had a moment on the ferry. "I'll never make it Mike," said the 70-year-old Mel, who was reclining in pain on his seat. Mike starts bawling, stammering, "I don't want to kill you for this joy ride." They hold hands and cry some more. They embrace. Milestone of first tear shed in the season. They also end up being one of the teams on the first flight, along with Margie and Luke.
