UNHAPPY AGAIN
While happy to be on the first flight to Addis Ababa, Adam & Rebecca once again found a reason to fight. After Adam got his Team on the flight to Rome to catch Lori & Bolo, Rebecca decided to give the information to Kris & Jon, which got them on the flight as well. Furious with Rebecca, Adam said, "She can't keep her mouth shut to save her life." Rebecca, unhappy with the chastising from Adam, cried, "I love being here. I love doing this, but I hate being with you. I'm miserable all the time." Trying to comfort his partner, Adam said, "I don't hate you for telling them. I think it was not the right move." Rebecca continued crying, saying, "I'm wasting so much energy on you. I'm not going to waste another minute." Ultimately, Adam took Rebecca's hand, saying, " I'm sorry Rebecca. I wish I didn't, but I love you. I'm sorry." On their argument, Rebecca commented, "It is so frustrating when we have a blowup like this because it just takes us out of the Race. Ultimately, we need to pull it together."
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Landing in Addis Ababa at 10 pm, Adam & Rebecca took the lead, running through the terminal in search of the signup sheet for the charter flights. The pair rebounded from their rocky layover in Nice to become the first Team on the 8 am charter, followed by Jonathan & Victoria and Lori & Bolo. Kris & Jon had to settle for the second charter at 8:30 am with Freddy & Kendra and Hayden & Aaron, who arrived in Addis Ababa at 3:30 am.
Landing in Lalibela, Jonathan & Victoria, Adam & Rebecca and Lori & Bolo opened the clue on the windshields of their vans to discover they must instruct their driver to take them 10 miles to Lewz village, where their next Route Marker waited. The drivers would only go in whatever direction the Teams told them. With the arrival of the second charter, all six Teams, some uncertain of the direction they should be heading, began the drive to Lewz village. Jonathan & Victoria took the time to find a guide, which paid off as they arrived directly behind first and second place Adam & Rebecca and Lori & Bolo, who stopped to ask for directions. Opening their clues, the Teams found a Detour. In this Detour, Teams had to choose between Raise the Roof and Mud the Hut. Teams choosing Raise the Roof must join a group of locals to carry a thatched roof two-thirds of a mile to a small house. Once they placed the roof on top of the house, they would receive their next clue. While this task required brute force, Teams would get help from locals and could finish quickly. Teams opting for Mud the Hut must use a plaster made of dirt, water and straw to cover a wall of a traditional Ethiopian house. While the task didn't involve brute strength, working with the mud would be messy, and having to cover the entire wall could take a long time.
As Adam & Rebecca ran off to Raise the Roof, Lori & Bolo and Jonathan & Victoria prepared to get down and dirty, choosing to Mud the Hut. As the two married Teams hauled their first load of mud to the wall, Freddy & Kendra opted to join them, while Kris & Jon and Hayden & Aaron chose to Raise the Roof with Adam & Rebecca.
