The Amazing Race (2001)

Episode Overview

The teams depart from their Pit Stop at the Al-Sadiq water towers, receiving a clue to fly over 4,600 miles to Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. As they rush to book flights, members of the "six-pack" alliance both assist and obstruct one another. A dispute arises between two teams over their positions in line, but they all end up on the same flight to Mauritius. Upon arrival, they are given a model of a schooner to match with an actual one in Grand Baie. After a lengthy swim to the schooner and back, they receive a clue directing them to the Case Noyale post office. On their way, they encounter traffic and car issues. They then face a Detour—Salt or Sea—where several teams struggle with their initial choices. In the end, one team finishes last at the Pit Stop but is saved from elimination, as this leg is another non-elimination round.
