The Godlewski sisters swept the competition once again when their boat raced past the Linz family to the Pit Stop in Lake Powell, Arizona. Unfortunately, the Paolos weren't so lucky as they took a slow route to the Grand Canyon and became the sixth Team to be eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE.

Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 11:43 pm, the Godlewskis discovered they needed to drive 33 miles to Mesa, Arizona and find Fighter Combat International. The sisters got off to a rocky start as Sharon and Michelle bickered about directions. Meanwhile, the Linz siblings were pulled over by a police officer for stopping on the road, allowing the Weaver family to arrive at the airport in first place. Although it didn't open until 4:30 am, the Weavers pulled the first number while the Bransens, begging for money at a nearby casino, still remained in last

DOG FIGHT
When the doors to Fighter Combat International opened early in the morning, the Teams opened their clue to find a Roadblock. In this Roadblock, one Team member had to take off in a fighter plane and, on orders from the pilot, take control of the plane and perform a 360-degree loop in the air.

After Rolly Weaver, Sharon Godlewski, and Megan Linz all successfully completed the exhilarating aviation maneuver on the first attempt, the three Teams opened their clue to learn they had to drive 277 miles to the Grand Canyon and find Lipan Point, a lookout at the canyon's widest point. As the three lead Teams drove off, Brian Paolo and Lauren Weaver took to the air together. Both had their difficulties with the task, failing on the first try, but each succeeded with their second chance. Together in last place, the Bransens and Paolos conferred on where Lipan Point was located. Ultimately, the Bransens decided to stop and call for directions while the Paolos kept driving.

PLAYING GAMES
After throwing garbage out of their window at the Godlewski sisters and telling a toll attendant to delay the Linz siblings, the Weavers arrived at Lipan Point in first place and opened their clue instructing them to drive 137 miles to Page, Arizona and find Glen Canyon Dam. With the three lead Teams on their way to the canyon, the Bransens' idea to stop for directions paid off as they climbed into fourth place ahead of the Paolos who became stuck in traffic when they took a slower route.

UNFRIENDLY RIVALRY
Arriving at the Glen Canyon Dam within moments of each other, the Linz siblings, Godlewski sisters and Weaver family all raced inside for a guide to escort them to the top of the dam. After admiring the spectacular view from atop the dam, the Linzes and Godlewskis opened their clue to find a Detour. In this Detour, Teams needed to choose between Bearing and Bailing, both taking place on Horseshoe Bend. In Bearing, Teams needed to travel by motorized raft to a location and choose one of five colored coded cards with a unique compass coordinate. Then, using a compass, they followed the coordinate to their next card. To complete the task, they had to find three locations in this manor and collect the same colored card at each point. In Bailing, Teams traveled by motorized raft to a section of water, choose a submerged boat, and bail enough water out of it to make it light enough to carry onshore to a marked location. As the Linzes and Godlewskis each walked back from the cluebox, they passed the Weavers, who became offended when neither Team acknowledged them or accepted a high-five from Linda. An annoyed Linda sniped, "They're just idiots."

SHOWBOATING
While the Weavers went off to navigate with a compass, both the Linzes and Godlewskis opted to bail water out of the submerged boats. While the Linz siblings furiously threw water out of the boat, the Weavers methodically found one card after another. Having a little fun, the Linzes and Godlewskis began throwing water at each other until the Linzes finally made their boat light enough to carry ashore. Opening their clue, the Linzes discovered they needed to drive 14 miles to Lake Powell and find Antelope Point, where they would choose a boat and search the lake for a houseboat, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. Racing back to shore, the Linz siblings all cheered wildly as they passed the Weavers who finishing up their search for cards. With the Godlewskis having bailed out their boat, a race for first heated up.

Meanwhile, arriving at Glen Canyon Dam in fourth place, the Bransen family quickly bailed out their boat just as the Paolo family arrived to attempt the same task. Spotting the Paolos on the boat, the Bransens, heading back to shore, said, "We just need to make sure we don't mess up right now." With the Paolos also completing the task efficiently, the race for last place was underway.

LIGHTWEIGHTS
Arriving at Antelope Point in first place, the Linz family, believing they finally had a win in sight, couldn't locate the marked path to the boats. By the time they got on their boat, the Godlewski sisters were right behind them in a boat race across Lake Powell. Because of their weight, the Linz brothers slowed their boat considerably allowing the cheering Godlewskis to pass them for another first place finish. For their win, the sisters won a Jay Flight 27BH, a travel trailer from Jayco. The disappointed Linz siblings settled for second place once again.

Stepping onto the mat in third place, the Weaver family talked to Phil about the animosity between them and the other Teams. Rachel Weaver, in tears, commented, "It's really frustrating because those people are classless…[we're] the only family that's trying to live a Christian life and it's really hard."

PAOLOS POOP OUT
After a relieved Bransen family finished in fourth place, the Paolo family arrived to meet Phil in last place and became the sixth Team eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE. Regarding his mother, DJ remarked, "My mom really did surprise me. This race really showed me a different side of her and maybe next time we're in a situation, I won't be so down on her." Tony added, "This is more than I expected. The experience and the friendship that we made on the race, it's going to last a lifetime and that's more than a million bucks."
