The Amazing Race 31, Episode 5 Recap


The Amazing Race (U.S. version) season 31, broadcasted on CBS in 2019

In episode 5 of the U.S. version of The Amazing Race on CBS, teams flew westward for about 5,633 kilometers (3,500 miles) from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, starting this episode in Ho Chi Minh City, VIETNAM and later landing in Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. Sorted by chronological order, here were the challenges and happenings encountered by teams in this episode:

● Arriving in Dubai and driving to a desert bonfire, which was hosted by Emiratis who owned luxurious sportscars. Teams enjoyed tea and date fruit then found a clue inside a sportscar.

● Riding an elevator to the top of the iconic Dubai Frame landmark to receive their Detour clue.

Detour, choice between "Fall" or "Find": playing the Mission 828 virtual-reality simulation in the world's tallest building (Burj Khalifa) and recalling the answers to several questions about that game or finding a blue, green, red, purple, and white lighted egg in Dubai Garden Glow's Dinosaur Park while wearing T-Rex costumes.

Roadblock: attending a silent disco party and finding a headphone-wearing attendee who is dancing to the same song that the party's DJ is listening to.

● Riding the world's longest urban zipline from the top of a building down toward episode 5's Pit Stop.
