This leg's Detour was aired as a miscellaneous task, as all teams chose the same side of the Detour. The second half of the Detour is unknown.

Choice A: Bodybuilding Posedown
Teams would have to travel to the Concert Noble where they have to compete in a bodybuilding competition in honor of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Racers must put on bikinis, cover their bodies in posing oil, and then learn a series of bodybuilding poses. They'll then use the poses in a routine performed in front of three judges. Teams must earn at least a total of 12 points to receive their next clue.

All teams chose this task.

Teams must travel by taxi to Parc Elisabeth to check in.

For coming in first place, Amani & Marcus won a trip for two to Panama, provided by Travelocity.

This leg is a no-rest leg. Teams would check in as normal, but receive their clue to start the next leg from Phil. The team that comes in last place does not face a penalty.
