The Amazing Race Season 2 Episode 2 Help Me, I'm American

In The Amazing Race season 2 episode 2, titled "Help Me, I'm American," the teams continue their race around the world, beginning in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The episode opens with the teams flying to Johannesburg, South Africa, where they are met with their first roadblock.

The roadblock requires one member from each team to bungee jump off of the Orlando Towers, a popular tourist attraction in Soweto. While some contestants are excited for the challenge, others are hesitant and nervous. Ultimately, all of the teams are able to successfully complete the task and move on to the next challenge.

The teams then travel to the Lion and Safari Park, where they must complete a detour: either "Pride of Lions" or "Safari So Good." In "Pride of Lions," the teams need to sort through a pile of meat and find a specific piece that matches the one in a picture. In "Safari So Good," they need to complete a driving course through the park while avoiding hitting any animals.

After completing the detour, the teams are given their next clue, which leads them to a tribal village in the heart of South Africa. Here, they must participate in a traditional South African dance and ceremony before receiving another clue.

The final challenge of the episode takes place in Johannesburg's Central Business District, where the teams must navigate the busy streets and complete a scavenger hunt-style challenge. They are given a list of South African cultural items and must find each item and bring it back to the starting point. The team that completes the challenge first wins the leg and is safe from elimination, while the last team to arrive at the pit stop is eliminated from the race.

Throughout the episode, tensions run high between some of the teams as they struggle to work together and communicate effectively. However, there are also moments of camaraderie and teamwork, particularly when some of the teams are struggling with the bungee jump and others offer encouragement and support.

All in all, "Help Me, I'm American" is a exciting and challenging episode of The Amazing Race that showcases the beauty and culture of South Africa while putting the contestants to the test both physically and mentally.
