“The Amazing Race 33” continues with six teams in the running for a $1 million prize. Racers travel by private jet to Corsica, France, where they go canyoneering through the beautiful landscape of natural rockslides, waterfalls and rivers. Which team will be frowning at the end of “Say Cheese”? And who will be the first duo to reach host Phil Keoghan at the pit stop? The sixth episode airs Wednesday at 9/8c on CBS.
The cast still competing for the $1 million prize in order of how they finished last week: Ryan Ferguson & Dusty Harris (best friends), Lulu & Lala Gonzalez (twins and radio hosts), Kim & Penn Holderness (married internet personalities), Raquel Moore & Cayla Platt (flight attendants), Akbar Cook Sr. & Sheridan Cook (married educators) and Arun & Natalia Kumar (father/daughter).

Keep refreshing for the latest updates!
9:00 p.m. — Previously, on “The Amazing Race!” Teams plunged 722 feet off the highest bungee jump in Europe before heading off to a grueling Detour. Teams had the choice of making multiple trips up the “Stairway to Heaven” delivering wine and chestnuts or making sausage links. Ryan & Dusty continued to dominate the race with another first place finish, while Arun & Natalia got lost on the road and finished in last place. Lucky for them, it was a non-elimination leg. Who will race to the front tonight? And will another team be eliminated? Let’s go!
9:05 p.m. — The teams board their charter flight and head to their next destination, Corsica. All teams are now well aware of Ryan & Dusty’s dominance and are starting to vocalize how they feel about it. Basically, everyone wants them to screw up big time and leave this race. Foreshadowing?
9:12 p.m. — Teams will depart in three groups every 15 minutes. Ryan & Dusty and Lulu & Lala head out first in search for their next clue at Belvedere de Corte. Group two consists of Kim & Penn, Akbar & Sheri and Raquel & Cayla. Last will be Arun & Natalia by themselves. The first two teams reach the Detour and must make a choice: “Say Cheese,” which involves taking part in a time-honored tradition of making three batches of fromage, or “Mule, Please,” in which teams will strap a canister on a harness and ride a mule down a rugged trail without spilling their milk. Both Ryan & Dusty and Lulu & Lala choose to make cheese.
9:20 p.m. — Kim & Penn are third to the Detour and they’ve decided to ride the mules. Raquel & Cayla join them. Akbar & Sheri and Arun & Natalia both decide to make cheese. The cheese station is not easy and Dusty begins to panic. He says they should switch Detours, but Ryan wants to stay put and relax. Akbar & Sheri arrive at the cheese station and feel very confident in their cooking skills. Over at the mules, Kim & Penn and Raquel & Cayla are strapping up their asses, but both teams have trouble with saddle placement. Once Kim & Penn strap up their mule correctly they make quick work of the course and finish the Detour in first place. They’re off to search for their next clue.
9:27 p.m. — Lulu & Lala finish their cheese and take off in second place. Right behind them are Raquel & Cayla who have just arrived with their mule. Ryan & Dusty are beginning to get nervous because they’re cheese isn’t curdling. In the meantime, Akbar & Sheri pass them by and Arun & Natalia are next! Wow. For the first time ever Ryan & Dusty are in last place and they decide to switch challenges. Just when things couldn’t seem to get any worse for them, they had to shove their car up the hill.
9:35 p.m. — Ryan & Dusty get to their mule and quickly strap it up and head down the hill. Meanwhile, Kim & Penn hit the roadblock. One member of each team will slip and slide down a one-and-a-half mile river and be on the lookout for their next clue. Lulu & Lala and Raquel & Cayla have also reached the roadblock. All the teams are celebrating the fact that Ryan & Dusty looked so defeated at the Detour. Penn finishes the roadblock first so he and Kim will head to the next pit stop via a paddle boat they must pump up themselves.
9:45 p.m. — Ryan & Dusty have reached the roadblock and Ryan takes off in a sprint to complete it. Raquel & Cayla finish the roadblock in second place followed by Lulu & Lala in third. Over at the kayak station, Kim & Penn realize this trip to the pit stop won’t be as easy as they thought. Once they finally get their boat inflated they begin their trip to Phil at the pit stop. Akbar is getting winded on the roadblock while Ryan quickly approaches. Ryan & Dusty are so superior to everyone else athletically, it seems impossible to eliminate them. Arun finishes the roadblock followed by Ryan so Akbar & Sheri are now in last place.
9:59 p.m. — Akbar finishes the roadblock and all teams are now headed to the pit stop. Kim & Penn finish in first place and they have won $5,000 each. Lulu & Lala make a last-minute mistake by forgetting to secure their backpacks in the van before hopping in their boats. They have to go back to the van, which allows both Arun & Natalia and Ryan & Dusty to pass them. Raquel & Cayla finish in second place, followed by Ryan and a screaming Dusty (nothing can stop these two). Arun & Natalia are next followed by Lulu & Lala. Akbar & Sheri have finished in last place and Phil informs them they have been eliminated from the race.
Official order of finishers for Leg 6: 1. Kim & Penn 2. Raquel & Cayla 3. Ryan & Dusty 4. Arun & Natalia 5. Lulu & Lala 6. Akbar & Sheri (eliminated)
