Arun and Natalia may indeed be the all-time champions of being redeemed by come-backs and non-elimination rounds.
Interesting that the four other teams formed separate partnerships with another team to keep the strong young men from winning.
I would guess it is a casting dilemma for this show - how NOT to have 30-40-ish men as teams and NOT have them always run away and trounce all other teams. It gets a trifle jock-boring.

They have to park and hike up to "The Tower"; the cheese is reveled, looks disgusting, LOL.
They get a big piece and start trying to get it down. Raquel and Cayla say it is very dry, LOL. They manage to get it down and take off.
Detour, Row, Row Row your boat, kayak around and find 10 matching fish. Gently down the Stream, take a cruise around the bay looking for 10 fish, then identify the fish in the order they saw them.

I think they are too heavy for the boat, hahahaha. They are the only ones who choose this task and now they are dumping out the boat, or at least trying to, commerical.

They finally managed to get the boat emptied and continue on to gathering their fish.
R/C are now at a road block. Knotted up -- repair the holes on the nets. there is a demonstration guy. They have pull the net out and find the hole which is indicated by these little yellow strings and then sew it back together.

The sewing is not going well, LOL. Penn starts using his feet to stretch out the net which seems to help.
A/N and L/L finally get the list correct and are off to the RoadBlock.
Penn gets it done and they are off to the next pit stop. Going to the white limestone cliffs of Bonafacio.

Wow it is a pretty big climb to get up to this place. Kim/Penn arrive first and get a trip for 2 to Turkey, 6 nights.
Next to arrive are Raquel and Cayla.

Natalia arrives to do the RoadBlock; I don't think she went to see the demonstration because she wasn't finding the hole. She finally finds the broken section.

Ryan and Dusty are #3. L/L have finished the task and are off to the pitstop.
Natalie finally finishes. Now they are asking for directions. Both teams are told to go to the Pharmacy and start to climb.

Well, this time, and it is hard to know with timing due to edits, but since it looked like the twins and Natalia/Arun were not TOO far apart when they started to the pit stop and neither team made any mistakes in where to turn or go, that Arun was going up that hill faster than Natalia, so the older guy was not the one to slow them down.
I wonder if they will have a secret speed bump next time??
Very pretty scenery.

I know we've had some complaints but I think that this is one of the nicest group of contestants to run the Amazing Race. It's very enjoyable to watch.

I agree, I like all the groups. My only criticism is that Arun and Natalia have been given too many passes. Once they go we will have a real race to the end.

My complaints about how Akbar treats his wife aside, I have enjoyed all the teams this year. If more teams had been able to return, there probably would not have been as many chances for Arun and Natalia to keep running. I'm also enjoying the fact that they all have to do their own driving. It's like swimming, people - learn drive a stick shift before you apply to The Amazing Race! The scenery has been gorgeous.

For some reason I think the cars are automatic now. No one seems to have a problem driving. No stalls, no gears grinding, no whining.

That is why they have made a big deal of how nice the cars are. They got automatics for the screen time. I think a good deal. One leg of a race might depend on the ability to drive shift. Many legs should not.
