The Amazing Race 32, Episode 5 Recap

The Amazing Race’s fifth episode of Season 32 aired on Wednesday, November 11th and was set in Paris, the national capital of FRANCE. This is the first Season 32 episode to be located on the European continent.

● Roadblock entitled “Who Wants to Step Up?”: one member on each team played three carnival games. They threw balls into wooden people’s mouth holes, played horse race “skee ball,” and an archery-style game where they propelled darts toward the target. This Roadblock occurred at Les Pavillons de Bercy, a venue that includes a museum housing Europe’s largest 19th century fairground collection.

● Pit Stop: Pont des Arts pedestrian bridge, crossing the Seine river in Paris
