Trang Khiếu & An Đinh, who check in after them in last place, had found their clue. They were given the option of returning the clue to Miko Lan Trinh & Hoàng Nam, but this would eliminate them. They declined and were checked in 7th, while Miko Lan Trinh & Hoàng Nam were eliminated. 4: Mai Trang & Hoàng Dương was originally declared eliminated, but shortly they were informed to still be in the race in a brief scenario due and that they would keep on racing. 5: Sơn Ngọc Minh & Mint used their Express Pass to bypass the U-Turn in Leg 5. 6: Sơn Ngọc Minh & Mint initially arrived in 4th.
