Notes:
1: Sheri & Cole initially arrived 6th, but were issued a penalty because Cole grabbed four mochilas of two matching pairs. The clue stated only three pairs of mochilas. However, this did not affect their placement, thus it was unaired.
2: Leg 6 had no mandatory rest period between legs, and all teams were ordered to continue racing. The team who checked in last on this leg did not face a Speed Bump in the next leg.
3: Burnie & Ashley knowingly U-Turned Tyler & Korey, who had already passed the U-Turn point and were therefore unaffected by it.
