The Amazing Race season 34 aired a brand-new episode on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, at 8 pm ET on CBS. The one-hour episode featured the remaining teams competing in challenges and giving it their all to finish the race as fast as they can and reach first to secure their safety. However, one team - Abby and Will - were officially eliminated even before they could partake in the first leg of the race.
Ahead of the race, The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan revealed to the other teams that Abby and Will were missing, following which he called the duo. This is when they found out that both Abby and Will were COVID positive, which meant that in keeping with the show's safety protocols, they had to be eliminated from the competition.
The duo were upset at the outcome, but as Abby stated, they had to "roll with the punches" in the game, and this was a big punch they had to endure. The rest of the teams didn't have to fear an elimination, but had to complete the race to place first.
What transpired on The Amazing Race Season 34 Episode 6?
Although the teams were upset at Abby and Will being eliminated due to something completely out of their control, they still had a big race to look forward to. Host Phil Keoghan revealed that the teams had to do everything possible to not reach last in the first leg of the race, as reaching last would mean they'd have to leave 45 minutes later than the rest of the teams for the next leg.
The Amazing Race teams' destination was Amman, Jordan, where they had to gain their clues by completing a series of challenges in order to place first by the end of the episode. They were given their first clue, according to which they had to complete the entire challenge and explore the city on foot. To gain their next clue, they had to reach the Maktabat Khazanet Al-Jahith Bookstore.
The Amazing Race contestant pairs faced a couple of difficulties, including muscle pulls, wrong routes, misplaced directions and much more to reach the first clue. Most of the teams decoded their first clue easily and located the bookstore from where they gained their next clue to reach the second location.
Marcus and Michael received the second clue first, which was named Detour - Step by Step or Letter by Letter. The teams had to choose either one to gain their next clue. In Step by Step, they needed to memorize the 28 Jordanian alphabets and pronounce them correctly. In Letter by Letter, they needed to perform the traditional Jordanian dance routine to achieve wins and clues.
While Marcus and Michael struggled initially with pronunciation, they got it done first and sped ahead in the race. They were quickly followed by fellow The Amazing Race pair Emily and Molly. Derek struggled with "rolling the Rs" and led him and partner Claire significantly behind than the other two teams.
During the dance challenge, the teams took time to perfect their dance. However, Luis and Michelle were the first to get the next clue, followed by Aubrey and David, and Quinton and Mattie. The last team to complete the challenge was Glenda and Lumumba.
The next clue was named Broken Carted. As part of the challenge, the teams had to reach a park and build a cart with the help of a reference piece to gain a clue and take it to the final destination. The teams reached the location, where one of the members quickly began working on the cart and ultimately got it done to reach the final destination, Roman Nymphaeum.
Check out the race ranks of The Amazing Race teams below.
- 1st place - Luis and Michelle

- 3rd place - Quinton and Mattie
- 4th place - Derek and Claire
