DAVID & JEFF RISE TO THE TOP; MONICA & SHEREE ELIMINATED
 Teams experienced culture shock as racers journeyed from Amsterdam to Mumbai, India. Many were emotionally affected upon witnessing the extreme poverty and crowded living conditions. Kelly and Tian & Jaree endured a harrowing experience during which they were fondled and groped by several men on an overcrowded train. After taking an early lead, Reichen & Chip were passed by David & Jeff, who never looked back as they finished in first place. Monica & Sheree fell behind on the way to the Detour and fought the entire leg to gain the time back, but in the end, became the sixth Team to be eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE.
 Departing in first place from the Kasteel Muiderslot in Muiden, Netherlands at 2:25 am, an excited Millie cheered as she and Chuck learned they would be traveling 4700 miles to Mumbai, India, formerly known as Bombay. Once there, they would make their way to Gate 1 at Film City, also known as "Bollywood." On their relationship, Chuck commented, "I think that Millie and I both get overly frantic in a tough situation. We're just super competitive. Some times I don't trust her, and a lot of times, she doesn't trust me. Trust is very important when it comes to commitment."
 Departing 50 minutes later, circus clowns Jon & Al met up with their friends Millie & Chuck at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, where the ticket counters remained closed. However, the foursome was aware of a KLM direct flight to Mumbai departing at 10:25 am. On his Team's determination, Jon commented, "We've worked together for many years in the circus and we are just from the old school. No matter how you feel, no matter how hard the work is, you just push forward and you do it."
 Leaving the Pit Stop at 3:34 am, engaged couple Kelly & Jon made their way to the airport. On Kelly's performance in the Race thus far, Jon said, "She's finally starting to settle down and not get stressed out over our mistakes, and she's doing great." Leaving almost an hour later, married couple Reichen & Chip hoped to improve their position in this leg. Chip commented, "The situation we're at today, I'm actually not very pleased, considering I thought we did a lot of things right. So I realize that a lot of other Teams are really bright, and we just need to be a little smarter."
 As NFL wives and moms Monica & Sheree and best friends David & Jeff departed the Pit Stop en route to the airport, Millie & Chuck and Jon & Al purchased their tickets on the 10:25 am KLM flight to Mumbai. Hoping to catch all of the Teams ahead of them, models and friends Tian & Jaree left Kasteel Muiderslot in last place at 5:42 am. Tian discussed her new approach to the Race, saying, "The only way to get through this Race is to let Jaree be herself and me to just bite my tongue. I just don't want to fight anymore." The models caught a break as the ticket counters at the airport opened up just as they arrived. ( Jon "compliments" Reichen & Chip)
