Teams melt down when they are unable to unlock drawers or find north.
Before our teams travel to the Scandinavian country, they have to find the Mercery House in Zanzibar.
Its the home of Farrokh Bulsara, also known as Freddie Mercury.

instead of, Another one bites the dust.
Its LOCK or KNOCK time.
Sounds easy, right?
This isThe Amazing Race.
Of course its not easy.
Most of the teams choose the lock DETOUR.
Joey and Tara cant take it, so they leave to go knocking.
Vanck and Ashton, as well as Sara and Shamir, are already tackling the doors.
Mike and Liz are officially in the lead.
Its time to leave Zanzibar and head back to a metal shop on the mainland of Tanzania.
She finds a key with a scorpion keychain and tries the nearest scorpion lock.
It does not work.
Then her partner Scott finds another scorpion key.
It does work in the lock.
For some odd reason, he gives his second key to Becca.
Hello, future favor.
They are followed by all of the other key people, except Logan and London.
Team LoLo quickly gives up and heads for the knocking DETOUR.
Luckily, they run into someone who tells them where all three royal doors are located.
London bebops down the alleyway from royal door to royal door, collecting clues.
Where are Shamir and Sara, you ask?
Well, they are going in circles and arguing.
Their fun meter is non-existent.
When they finally find all the clues, they have to wait for the next ferry.
Everyone else races to the metal place, where they face a ROAD BLOCK.
Vanck, Becca, Redmond, Mike, Joey, and Brooke scramble in while the others wait outside.
Five out of the six have fun and appreciate the skills of their local instructor.
Guess which one whines about not being strong enough?
Guess who just cant even?
Spoiler: Its not Becca.
Brooke makes her way outside to ask Scott to give her a pep talk.
When she goes back in, Becca helps her cut the metal.
Redmond teaches her how to pound metal with a hammer.
Then Mike cheers her on.
The hullabaloo stops when everyone else finishes their strainer and passes the noodle test.
All bets are off when a PIT STOP is involved.
Especially when that PIT STOP is Coco Beach.
Tara and Joey Ditching the locks for knocks was a wise decision since they are now $5,000 richer.
I love how Joey told Phil that he looked sharp.)
Becca and Floyd Did Scott make a mistake by giving them a key?
Mike and Liz They tell Phil they never fight.
This is what we call foreshadowing.
Matt and Redmond These guys havent been in first in a long time, and they are ticked.
Logan and London I want them to date.
Vanck and Ashton Doors are hard.
Brooke and Scott Brooke melts down when she hears they are the final team.
I hope she gets to keep her strainer.
Sara is proud of what they accomplished.
She will remember all of their experiences.
Like that time Shamir got his junk caught in a harness and the time they couldnt find royal doors.
Everyone is on the same flight.
None are excited at the possibility of meeting Elsa and Anna.
Becca and Floyd chug it like college kids on Spring Break.
He has every right to be irritated.
Becca and Floyd get the FAST FORWARD and jump in a helicopter to an unknown destination.
Scott watches, thinking that could have been his helicopter.
Slinningsbalet (easy for me to say) has this big huge bonfire that the locals build every year.
Its made with 31,000 wooden pallets stacked 13 stories high.
One person must climb up, nail a pallet to the top, and climb back down.
Joey and Matt start at the same time.
Matt channels his inner Spider-Man and scales the tower with zero effort.
Everyone is in awe, including the Norwegian bonfire builders.
He climbs back down before Joey makes it all the way up.
This makes perfect sense.
London and Liz arrive last and begin to scramble their way up.
Matt and Redmond are the first to DETOUR.
Matt agrees with me.
So do Joey and Tara.
Matt and Redmond have a hard time finding the correct lure.
She makes a big mistake by asking The Boys to confirm.
They have the wrong lure and wouldnt have known any different if Joey hadnt shown them his correct clue.
The one that he is holding in his mouth for safe keeping.
That seems odd, but well go with it.
Then Joey, who previously found two clues, tells them where to locate the other one.
Are these contestants nice, or what?
Tara quickly realizes that all they have to do is ask someone on the street what Aksla means.
They paddle to the shore, with The Boys hot on their heels.
In other news, everyone else is following a map that leads them to women dressed as trolls.
Vanck and Ashton use their car.
The other teams dont.
Do you know who isnt thinking about a PIT STOP?
They are currently sky diving, having the time of their lives.
The fun meter has officially busted on these two.
Tara and Joey First place two weeks in a row!
Matt and Redmond They can almost taste victory.
Becca and Floyd These two crazy kids are floored that they didnt get first place with their fast forward.
Vank and Ashton Driving worked!
London and Logan I still want them to date.
Brooke and Scott She yelled at him as he conquered his fear.
They are best buds.
Liz and Mike Mike doesnt want to climb all those stairs, so he suggests they take the car.
This turned out to be a very bad decision.
They ended up having to climb the stairs anyway.
All 420 of them.
They get into a very big fight once Phil announces that they are the last to arrive.
Spirits do not lift when he gives them their next clue.
They are not eliminated, but the name calling continues.
It makes me and the little Norwegian boy playing the violin very uncomfortable.
Will they give up?
Is this partnership over?
Are The Boys ever going to be in first place?
Do you want Team LoLo to date?
Tell me they dont look cute together.
