CBS' The Amazing Race returned for a brand new episode on Wednesday night, October 5, 2022 at 10 pm ET. Before the teams could begin the third leg of their race, host Phil Keoghan revealed that it was Mega Leg. This meant that the teams would have to complete two Roadblocks and two Detours in order to finish the leg.
After Rex and Tim were eliminated last week, 10 teams remained in the race to bag the $1 million grand cash prize. The Amazing Race contestants departed in three groups at fifteen minute intervals. They left in the order they arrived in the last leg. Mattie and Quinton, the cheerleaders, were in group three since they arrived towards the end.
For the Detour, teams had to choose between “Head of the Class” or “The Big Cheese.” For the first task, they had to sit through an anatomy class and take a timed exam where they had to identify 16 bones, organs, and muscles in just 90 seconds.
For the second task, teams had to deliver cheese to a cheese cutter and later had to deliver the two halves to two restaurants. Quinton and Mattie decided to go with the anatomy class. Much to everyone's surprise, the cheerleaders aced the anatomy test on the first try.
Mattie revealed that this was an easy task for her as she took an anatomy class back in college. Since they aced it in the first try, this brought them up from 10th place to 4th place in the race.
Although they were the last to begin the third leg of the race, the duo found themselves getting a massive advantage on their first Detour that brought them several places up the ranking chart. Upon seeing Quinton and Mattie climb up the rankings, fans were shocked and took to social media to share their opinions.
