FIGHTING CHOLITAS: Well, they've finally found a new variation on the "learn a local dance" task on The Amazing Race, and while lucha libre isn't quite as cool as the dancing-for-tips on the Cape Town dock from TAR2, seeing a man in a cape fail "somersault" does have its own joy. [And, really, who are you to doubt El Dandy?] Also appreciated? A rehash of the TAR12 clue from India of "find an ad in the local newspaper that gives you your next clue." And especially appreciated, if not necessarily enjoyed? The return of a particular outcome-affecting plot point from TAR3 -- same situation, same result.

Okay, so we have no idea whether the flights were spoonfed or found, and I don't really love or hate any teams strongly enough yet to make this a great season. But overall? Good clues, solid editing, worthwhile episode.
