Welcome to Leg 11! Last time, on Finally Something the Gays Aren’t Good At!, 4 teams continued racing through the Dominican Republic. Ricky struggled on the Roadblock, but Leticia domincated, allowing Team NFL to take first place. Amber and Vinny didn’t know what a Hurricane glass looked like, and that led to their elimination. And then there were three: Ricky and Cesar, the dating couple that are superfans of the show and have never placed lower than third on a leg; Rod and Leticia, the married couple that had early success, but Rod’s competitive nature and their love for each other kept them from falling behind; and Juan and Shane, the best friends who found success in their stamina on the megaleg and never looked back. Who will win The Amazing Race 36? (click for more)
