Teams must travel by taxi to the entrance of the Rose of Charity Orphanage, where they will find the U-Turn board.
At Rose of Charity Orphanage, teams would have the option to U-Turn a team, with two slots available. Tiffany & Krista attempted used the first slot of the U-Turn on Justin & Diana, however Justin & Diana already passed the U-Turn before Tiffany & Krista, thus having no effect on them. The second slot went unused.
Teams must travel on foot to the nearby Pit Stop to check in. Teams must also donate their money to the orphanage after checking in. This leg is a no-rest leg. Teams would check in as normal, but receive their clue to start the next leg from Phil. The team that comes in last place does not face a penalty.
