After several teams came in, the team of retired NBA players, Cedric Ceballos and Shawn Marion, reached the mat to learn that they violated a rule. They aided another team at a roadblock challenge and were penalized 30 minutes.
The two remaining teams raced to get to the end, but the 30-minute window closed. In the end, Mitcheson and Fitzgerald, who works as ring girls and Instagram models, lost by a single step to “goat yoga” instructors Sarah Williams and April Gould.
“We’ve never had a finish this close,” host Phil Keoghan said.
There are 10 duos remaining, including former Big Brother contestants Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf.
The Amazing Race airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
