"The Amazing Race": A balancing act in Paraguay
So, which team came in first, and who went home? (SPOILER)

For this week's Detour, teams had to choose between "Stacked Up" or "Strung Out." The first task involved stacking a 10-by-10 pyramid of watermelons at a fruit market, while the latter required teams to string a harp (the country's national instrument) in a conservatory.
Every team but twins Andrew and Elliot initially chose to tackle the fruit, but stacking the melons in a perfect pyramid proved too difficult for some - after a series of collapses, a few teams abandoned the fruit and switched to the other task.
The next challenge involved one team member doing a choreographed dance while balancing a glass bottle on his or her head. Army couple Rachel and Dave used their Express Pass to bypass the watermelon challenge, but it didn't help - Dave broke all his bottles and incurred a two-hour penalty for not being able to complete the challenge.
But despite having to wait two hours to get checked in, Team Army managed to stay in the game. Border patrol agents Art and JJ came in first place, breezing through the watermelon and bottle-balancing tasks, but the twins spent too much time on the harp-stringing - more time even than the teams that switched challenges - and came in last place, where they were eliminated from the race.
Next week, the remaining eight teams head on to Italy.
