"The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business" takes teams back to the future
(CBS) Dating Goths Kent and Vyxsin, who lagged way behind the other teams when last week's episode of "The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business" ended at a check-in midway through the China leg of the race, managed to make up for lost time and stay in the game this week.
Another team, targeted by the Goths at a U-Turn, was not so lucky. (SPOILER ALERT)

Kent and Vyxsin incurred a 30-minute penalty for taking an unauthorized flight to China last week after they got lost and missed their scheduled flight.
They got their window of opportunity midway through this week's race when they targeted cheerleaders Jaime and Cara at a U-turn. The teams ahead of them chose not to use the U-Turn, but the Goths were desperate.
Jaime and Cara then targeted the Harlem Globetrotters for the other U-Turn, a move that may have paved the way for their downfall.
The U-Turns meant that both targeted teams had to complete both tasks in the previous Past and Future detour - installing a solar panel on a rooftop and arranging characters in order from a historical theater presentation.
Both appeared to tackle this with ease, but the next task, forming a dinosaur with interlockcing wooden pieces, challenged them as well all the other racing teams.
There were several tumbles off ladders, false starts and grunting as one member of each team tried to move the heavy and unwieldy wooden pieces into place.
Gary and daughter Mallory, arriving last at this task, took one look at all the wooden pieces and reached for the Express Pass they had won at the start of the game. This allowed them to skip the task and go straight to the pit stop.
But cowboys Jet and Cord were right behind them and managed to snag the first taxi, arriving first at the pit stop. Their prize was $5,000 each.
Kent and Vyxsin arrived at the pit stop in fourth place but were checked in as the fifth team arriving, because of the penalty.
Jaime and Cara, known as the redheads, struggled the most with the dinosaur task and were eliminated from the game just as the other teams prepared to travel to India.
