Tonight on CBS the Emmy award winning show The Amazing Race returns for yet another exciting installment. On “Smarter Not Harder” the race continues in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One racer’s feet start bleeding during a Roadblock, while another participant suffers a meltdown during a difficult Detour. Did you guys watch last week’s episode of The Amazing Race? If not we have you covered with a full recap to get you caught up, right here.

On last week’s episode teams raced through the Malaysian jungle where the roaring rapids crushed their spirits and their homemade rafts. In the detour, teams were forced to choose a Murut hunting guide who would lead them into the jungle where they had to hit a target using a blow pipe before receiving the next clue.

On tonight’s episode you can count on a lot of exciting twists and turns. At one point, in Detour B, Mother/son team Margie and Luke must mix seven cocktails and pour them simultaneously into a pyramid of glasses. Once the drinks are properly made, they then must deliver them across a pool in order to receive the next clue.

She finally gets the flag, and she and John head to the airport. Meanwhile at the airport the first flight has been delayed, so the players that were scheduled to take off first, are now taking off third.

Leo and Jamal find the clue first in Malaysia and have to choose between a detour, they must head to a club and complete a song on the DJ switchboard or mix a pyramid of cocktails. Leo and Jamal decide to make cocktails along with Jet and Cord and Dave and Connor.
