The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 5: Scott and Lori came last after finishing the tasks

The fifth episode of the competition show featured Scott-Lori and Jonathan-Ana U-Turned, meaning they had to go through both challenges. The rest of the teams were supposed to go through only one. The challenges were:

1. Coral challenge
2. Coconut challenge

For the first challenge, Scott and Lori had to transport 60 coconuts from the beach to the cafe using a bicycle. The second challenge was making a cage using five species of coral and getting it to the ocean.

The Amazing Race team, Scott and Lori, decided to go through the coconut challenge first and then the second task. However, because of the Roadblock challenge, the couple was last to finish their tasks, while Jonathan and Ana arrived moments before them. As a result, Scott and Lori Thompson were eliminated from The Amazing Race Episode 5.
