Summary -

The two leading teams Josh & Felix and Darron & Alex took a boat to Çeşme, and then to Ankara where they took a slow train to Kars, which allowed the other teams to catch up. In order to avoid elimination, Josh & Felix took an expensive taxi ride from Tbilisi to Baku.

All the other teams chose the land route via Istanbul, where Natalie & Shameema worked to earn some money. As they came last in the previous leg, Elaine & Tony chose to travel non-stop on land to Tbilisi, and managed to arrive in Baku in first place. In contrast, Sue & Clare decided to take a break in Tbilisi after a long bus journey, which resulted in them being eliminated after coming last in Baku.
