Teams learned at the start of this leg that they would be encountering a Double U-Turn and are staying in Abu Dhabi.
Teams then headed to some sand dunes and took dune buggies and followed flags into the desert to find the next clue, which directed them to go to the Al Anin Oasis. Nicky and Kim, who will also encounter a Speed Bump this leg because they were saved from elimination, got stuck in the sand and wound up starting off in last.
At Al Anin Oasis, teams encountered a detour. In “Wedding Guests,” they had to prepare and serve a traditional ceremonial dish, which Leo and Jamal initially chose, as well as Nicki and Kim. In “Beauty Contest,” teams had to identify a prize-winning camel and dress it in ceremonial garb. Jason and Amy , Tim and Marie, and Ally and Ashley chose this one.
Nicole and Travis chose to use their express pass this leg, and instead moved past the Detour and arrived first at the U-Turn, and decided to send Leo and Jamal back because they knew they lied about U-Turning Brandon and Adam.
Tim and Marie were the first to finish the detour, and while trying to find the U-Turn board, ended up running into Leo and Jamal and spilling where the U-Turn was—getting them to change to Beauty Contest. Because they got lost, Jay and Amy got to the board first, but chose not to U-Turn anybody. Getting lost allowed Leo and Jamal to also arrive at the U-Turn board before them, but they too chose not to U-Turn, and went off to finish the Wedding Guests task as well.
Tim and Marie finally found the U-Turn and chose to U-Turn The Baseball Wives because of the stunt they believed the girls pulled at the airport back in the third leg. Ally and Ashley and Nicole and Kim arrived too late to U-Turn anyone and continued on to the Road Block.
At Al Wadi Adventures, where teams would head after the Detour, they encountered the road Block. At the world’s largest man-made rapids, they would have to grab three colored flags as they traveled around in order to receive the clue for where the Pit Stop was.
At the Road Block, Nicky and Kim encountered their speed bump, which required them to swim across a wave pool and climb back up to solid ground.
The Pit stop was located at Jebel Hafeet. Using their Express Pass allowed Nicole and Travis to arrive in first, each winning their choice of a brand new vehicle in the entire Ford line-up. Jason and Amy once again showed up in second place, which has been their usual. Tim and Marie wound up checking in third, followed by Leo and Jamal and Ally and Ashley.
Nicky and Kim could not overcome the Speed Bump and U-Turn, arriving last, where they were eliminated.
