The Amazing Race (2001)
S05E08 I'm Going to Jail
Episode Overview
The teams engage in a frantic cab race to catch their charter flights, but Colin becomes frustrated when his cab driver shows up with a spare tire that eventually goes flat. Attempting to only pay half of the $100 fare, he’s forced to settle the full amount when the driver threatens to take legal action. Meanwhile, Linda and Karen board a very late flight, but upon arrival at their destination, they discover that all teams are faced with a lengthy wait until the 8 A.M. opening. Once in Dubai, they must choose between two Detour options: Off-Plane, which involves sky-diving, or Off-Road, requiring them to navigate off-road vehicles. The choice depends on each team’s strengths, especially since the sky-diving planes only depart every 45 minutes. Brandon and Nicole, along with Kami and Karli, opt for the sky-diving challenge, while Linda and Karen, Colin and Christie, and others take on the off-road route.
