In tonight's episode of the Amazing Race Phil reminds us that there are four teams left to race, and tonight's elimination will bring us to the final three teams who will race to the finish for one million dollars. Will Louie and Mike who avoided elimination in the last leg of the race and must face a roadblock just for them, be able to overcome the setback and finish in the final three teams? Jet and Cord who were the first to arrive at the pit stop will leave first to search for the next clue. Jet and Cord are very close after Cord was injured badly and Jet stayed with him as he healed. The team is searching for the Garden Bridge and find it easily when they ask locals. Caite and Brent leave second and Caite hopes that finishing in the final three will help to mitigate the impression left by her mishandling of a question when she competed in a beauty pageant. They get information from locals also and give that information to a cabbie.
.
Jet and Cord are still looking for the Metro Station and board a train for the Longhua Temple. It looks like Mike and Louie have gotten directions to the Bridge, and Dan and Jordan follow them, but their cabbie doesn't understand the word follow. Dan and Jordan become frustrated when the cabbie doesn't follow Mike and Louie's cab. Mike and Louie realize that the guys aren't around them.
Louie and Mike and Jordan and Dan both get to the Clue Box at the same time and get their directions. The Cowboys get their clue when they realize that there are two large statues in the room and count them. Caite gets it right on her third shot and head off neck and neck on motorcycles with sidecars. They are having fun riding together and joke around with each other. Dan and Jordan with Mike and Louie use a bus to get to the Longhau. Mike and Louie decide that they will have to move out quickly to manage the speed bump when they get to it. The Cowboys and Brent and Caite get to the market, and Caite is overwhelmed by the mass of people and the sales techniques. They find that they must choose Pork Chops or Pork Dumplings. In Chops they have to search out a vast inventory to locate a stamp. In Pork Dumplings they must deliver dumplings to a location. Both teams elect to search for the stamp in Pork Chops.
Louie and Mike hit their speed bump, tossing a coin in an inscense burner. The job looks easy. They get it quickly and are back in the game. Brent has to go to the bathroom and Caite is not willing to quit for him to go pee. She finally gives in when Brent gets to the point that he can't help her and they leave and then return to the shop to search. In the Buddah count, Louie gets it wrong by 2 and must wait out the ten minutes. Dan and Jordan have gotten the count right and head out on the motorcycles for the next task. When he realizes that it is to count ALL the statues he knows he will get it right.
Dan and Jordan search the store, and although they find Louie's, they don't admit to it. Mike and Louie feel pretty good when they see Dan and Jordan searching and know that they have a chance in the race. Dan and Jordan feel the pressure and know that it is any man's game. They only have a twenty minute head start on the seach for the stamp.
The season finale of The Amazing Race is next week. A preview shows that teams must scale new heights and explore new galaxies to win the Amazing Race.

I was a little disappointed that the brothers beat the detectives, because had they not used the detectives, they'd still be looking for the garden bridge. Doesn't seem fair, but yet no one mentioned this. I would have loved to see Louie and Mike go all the way (altho I love the cowboys too!!)

Dan and Jordan are out third and they go on a search for someone who knows where the Garden Bridge is. Dan has no idea how other teams are getting the information. Brent and Caite find the Garden Bridge and get a clue to their next location, the Longhau Temple, but they are not to take a taxi. They opt instead for a bus, line 3. Caite says she can read a map and they will get where they are going. Dan and Jordan are frustrated by not being able to locate it. They decide to use Mike and Louie, sticking with them so they won't be last and then move ahead of them when they hit the speed bump. Mike and Louie are happy to meet someone who is ahead of them and know now they have a chance to catch up
Meanwhile Brent and Caite have found the Longhau temple and find the roadblock. The roadblock is to count all 523 golden Buddah's in the gift shop to get another clue. If they miscount, they have to wait ten minutes to submit a new count. Caite uses a strategy of multiplication, but then gets off when the numbers change. She first comes up with 522 and it is wrong. She goes back to recount.
Caite counts again and is still wrong at 524. She must wait another ten minutes. The Cowboys notice Caite and Brent's bags, but don't see them and Brent sees them and hides out to buy Caite a bit more time. They find the shop and decide to keep it methodical so they won't have a ten minute wait. 
At the shop, Jet finds his stamp and pockets it silently. Caite finds Cord's but says nothing and quietly puts it back, and Brent finds his. Caite finds hers and they are off. Now they must find the Riverside Promenade to locate the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. Cord finds his stamp and they locate a cab first. They think they might have a chance at first place. However Brent and Caite get out ahead. They race to the finish and are first to the finish where they meet the world's tallest man. They win a trip to Barcelona's beaches. The Cowboys come in second, right behind them. Both of them are guaranteed to race in the final leg in to win the million dollars.
Dan finds his stamp but they can't find Jordan's. They finally locate it and get their clue. Mike and Louie continue their search in hopes of finding it quickly. Outside the shop Dan and Jordan look for a person to translate and then get a cab. Mike and Louie get their stamps and flag down a cab in hopes of getting there first. Their only hope is that Dan and Jordan flag down a cab that gets lost. Mike and Louie maintain hope if Dan and Jordan get there first that they will not find it easily. Mike and Louie are in the park as well and it is a matter of who locates the Pit Stop first. Dan and Jordan get lucky and are team number three. Jordan is teary eyed and they are going to turn it on one hundred fifty percent. 
Louie and Michael are last and are eliminated from the race. They say it is the best ride of their lives and can't think of one bad thing in the race. They laugh and agree that they will take this adventure with them forever.
