The Amazing Race 32, Episode 3 Recap


The Amazing Race’s third episode of Season 32 aired on Wednesday, October 28th and was set in Manaus, a city of 2.094 million residents (year 2016 estimate) situated along the Amazon River in northwestern BRAZIL. While the preceding episode reintroduced the Yield, this episode reintroduced the Double U-Turn.

● Teams visited the Port of Manaus Market, which is known for selling over 5,000 species of fish and other edible aquatic organisms! Each team searched among many market stalls for 11 items on a grocery list written in Portuguese.

● After receiving the next clue for correctly retrieving each list item, teams could choose to use their grocery items for the Detour’s cooking option.

● Teams visited a Dessana tribe village, where the Chief blowdarted the clue down from a tree.

Detour, choice between building and cooking: Teams choosing the building option had to assemble a roof section with palm fronds and ropes. Teams choosing the cooking option used the grocery items they purchased in Manaus to prepare a meal for the Dessana Chief.

Maloca Beach was the penultimate location on this episode’s itinerary. This idyllic setting provided teams the opportunity to activate the Double U-Turn. While teams maintained their composure in the previous episode by not using their Yield, two teams decided to take advantage of the Double U-Turn! James and Will U-Turned Alana and Leo. Afterward, Haley and Kaylynn saved Alana and Leo by U-Turning Frank and Jerry. Frank and Jerry therefore were required to take on both Detour tasks: cooking a meal and building a roof section. They completed both activities with determination despite being in last place.

Pit Stop: Barco Corrêa Filho riverboat

● Episode 4 will also take place in South America but will send teams to the capital of PARAGUAY, Asunción.
