This week’s episode of CBS’s “The Amazing Race” takes our final five to Naples, Italy. Once they arrive, they take taxis to Castel Sant’Elmo, where they will collect their clues.

The clue takes them to Pulcinella Statue, where yet another clue is waiting.

Han and Holden and Jonathan Ana are in the lead.

The other teams are hot on their heels, with Brett and Mark pulling ahead of the pack. Jack and Carson and Alyssa and Josiah are close behind.

Detour time! Mozzarella has them make six twists of mozzarella cheese.

Jonathan and Ana and Han and Holden get lost despite initially being in the lead. They work together and finally get their next clue.
