Right about now Jason and Lorena are finding out that they have been U-Turned and must go back and pan for gold. Lorena looks dangerously close to having another hysterical breakdown, but Jason does his upbeat best to keep her positive so he won't have to deal with the little girl from The Exorcist again.

Back at the market, Azaria has managed to locate his specified vendor, but Jennifer isn't having such luck. She's starting to panic and tells us this is the worst culture shock she's ever had because she doesn't speak French. Yeah, Jennifer. That's what made this challenge weird, not the crying goat on the back of your bike or any of the other bizarre items you're lugging through the destitute African marketplace. At last she finds her vendor and the next clue is to take yet another taxi to the Hotel De Ville, located in the Ouagadougou City Hall. This is the Pit Stop, so they must arrive with a chicken and the last team may be eliminated. The way Jennifer says "merci" when her vendor hands her the clue is soooooo dumb American. "Mare-see, mare-see." Whatever you do, Jen, don't try to imitate what you hear. Just sound as dumb as possible - that's the American way! The Siblings and The Babies embark on their taxi race to the Pit Stop. Nathan tries to hug Jennifer, but she announces that she can't be touched. Then she relents. Mare-see!

Lorena and Jason pan away for gold and Moronald is all up in Christina's face trying to tell her the proper way to load her bicycle while she begs him to stop. Jem tips her bicycle over, which means she has to start again with all the loading. Nick sets off on his bicycle and I have to look twice to make sure my eyes are not deceiving me, but it's really Nick this time, not Grandpa, and as Christina sets off, Moronald calls out, "May the force of good fortune be with you." That will do, Moronald.

"Sorry about my father, sorry about my father."

Rachel of The Hippies decides to do the Road Block and so does the little blonde. How these girls generate enough strength out of their little 90 pound bodies to walk is beyond me. And now they're going to ride a loaded bicycle? Good luck. Rio starts pestering Jem to put down her kickstand, which she claims won't help and we witness our first Gothic bicker. The big blonde confides in TK that they U-Turned Jason and Lorena, which he already knows and says he wouldn't have done. The big blonde is now trembling in fear of her karma.

And speaking of the U-Turned, they are just now having their ounce of gold approved and the big blonde is regretting her decision more as every minute passes. Jason continues his perky mood, I'm guessing in a desperate attempt to not have to nurse Lorena through another sobbing fit, and I can't blame him. They set out for the Goat Market determined to stay positive because you never know what will happen in this race and Lorena is no fun without her medication. Nicholas and Christina are now searching for their vendors and Jem is setting off on her loaded bicycle and starts noticing how grim her surroundings are. Finally, someone noticed.

As the little blonde tries to tie her goat to her bicycle she worries that it might bite her. I have to agree, because don't goats eat everything? Jennifer's tried to eat her clue. The big blonde says that goats don't bite, they ram. Um, it's not a bull, big blonde, it's a baby goat - strapped into a basket. How's your chicken? Has it plucked you yet?
