− | They cruised through the first half of the season, running at the front of the pack while avoiding friction with each other and the other teams. However, they struggled once they hit Namibia, as a series of mistakes, beginning with Aly struggling to build her hut at the [[Roadblock]], dropped them to the back of the pack. While Steve's reckless driving on the way to the [[Pit Stop]] resulted in them getting a flat tire, they were saved by a non-elimination leg. However, they never stood a chance in the following leg, as the lack of an equalizer, combined with Steve struggling with the air drop Roadblock, kept them from ever catching up with the other teams. As a final nail in their coffin, they were [[U-Turn]]ed by [[Laura & Tyler]], and they were eliminated in 6th place. |
