‘The Amazing Race 27’ episode 6 preview: More breakdowns … and rapping?

Tonight’s “Amazing Race” episode kept the remaining teams in Africa, and had them taking on a new array of tasks. Some were nostalgic and made us think of the early days of the show, while others were more on the wild side. Who doesn’t want to walk around with lions? (Okay, probably a lot of people.)

In the end, we lost a team in Jazmine & Danielle who had the potential to be huge players this season, but just couldn’t slow down enough to read their clues. It was as simple as that.

So where are we off to next? The preview at the end of tonight’s episode did not give that away, but they did make it clear that there are some particularly scary tasks ahead. Tanner & Josh have to overcome heights, while Justin of Justin & Diana also is about to do something insane in a plane.

Also, apparently there is some sort of rap challenge that allows Tiffany & Krista to get down. Oh, and we’re starting to think that they could be the darkhorse team to make it far. We’re not sure we see them as winners just yet, but they never really fight too much with each other and have a good outlook. Judging from the preview, it certainly looks already like Logan & Chris are getting set to implode for about the tenth time in just the past couple of episodes. They may actually be the most conflict-ridden company we’ve seen on the show in a while.

We’ll have more next week; stay tuned!
