CBS' The Amazing Race returned to viewers' screens for a brand new episode on Wednesday night, October 5, 2022. At the start of the race this week, host Phil Keoghan revealed that it was a Mega Leg, which meant there would be two Roadblocks and two Detours that the teams would have to complete.
Similar to how they arrived in the last leg, the teams left in groups and had to board a charter flight to Bologna, Italy. From there, they had to drive themselves down to Arco del Meloncello, where they faced their first Detour. After completing that, the teams had to drive down to their first Roadblock.
To complete the Roadblock, one member from each team had to assemble the brakes and wheels on a Ducati motorcycle. Derek and Claire, who managed to complete the Detour early, found themselves stuck in a rut when it came to the Roadblock.
Claire chose to complete the Roadblock herself, leaving Derek cheering for her on the sidelines. The Amazing Race contestant had no clue about motorcycles and found herself struggling. Fans who witnessed Claire not knowing about a socket wrench took to social media and urged Derek to do the next Roadblock himself.

Taking to Twitter, fans slammed Derek, claiming he was lazy and was making Claire do the Roadblocks. Many also urged The Amazing Race contestant to do the next one himself and not let Claire do it again.
Here's what happened this week on The Amazing Race Season 34
For their first task in the race, the teams had to complete a Detour. They had to choose between “Head of the Class” or “The Big Cheese.” For the first one, they had to sit through an anatomy class and take a timed exam, where they had to identify 16 muscles, bones, and organs in just under 90 seconds.
Those who chose to do the second task had to deliver cheese to a cheese cutter and later deliver the two halves to two restaurants. Claire and Derek decided to complete the Big Cheese task. Sadly, they lost direction to one of the restaurants while delivering the cheese.
This held them back in the race by a few spots, but they somehow managed to complete the task in time and head over to the first Roadblock. Despite facing struggles last week while completing the Yodeling Roadblock, Claire decided to do this one too.
Derek stood by the sidelines cheering her on, but Claire, who had no head or tail about bikes, found it difficult. She couldn’t figure out which tool to use where either. In the end, it took her time, but she got it right and received the next clue.
But this brought down their placements again as many teams came in after them but left before them. There is still one Roadblock and one Detour left to be completed. When the series returns next week, viewers will get to see if the team can make it up the rankings again.
The Amazing Race airs every Wednesday at 9:30 pm ET on CBS. Readers can check local listings for more information.
