The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 11 Recap: Multiple teams struggle through navigation issues, after which two team make their way to the Top 3

The Amazing Race Season 37's eleventh episode, My Knight in Shining Armor, started with Carson and Jack. Since they ended the previous leg first, they were the first team to depart. The first clue got them to a travel agency in Strasbourg. Their next destination was Porto, Portugal.

Soon, Alyssa and Josiah were also on their way, followed by Ana and Jonathan and Han and Holden. All the teams were on the same flight. As the show host Phil Keoghan previously revealed, the episode featured another twist: Vehicle Roulette.

After arriving first, teams can pick one of the five keys of their choice. Soon, they will find out what kind of self-driving vehicle they have chosen: automatic or manual. Additionally, once they have chosen the keys, they are not allowed to exchange their vehicle.

Carson and Jack got an automatic, while the rest got a manual. Their next clue was to reach Granjão, Vila Marim, which took quite some time, as some of the teams faced navigation issues. Two teams, including Han and Holden and Ana and Jonathan, couldn't find the correct path. Later on, they decided to ask for directions from the locals.

The Amazing Race Season 37's Carson and Jack were the first team to arrive at their destination, while the remaining teams struggled to find their way. After realizing they might not be in the right direction, Han and Holden asked the locals for directions. Alyssa and Josiah also figured out the correct direction, which was not the case with Ana and Jonathan.

After going through quite a few directional issues, Jonathan took over the steering wheel. However, they had to ask for directions from the locals later on. In the meantime, the rest of the teams had already reached the destination.

Next, teams had to row throughout the lake and found two identical empty wine barrels. They were supposed to roll them to the nearby store to get the next clue. Here, too, Carson and Jack were the first ones to finish.

Their next destination on The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 11 was the Castle of Santa Maria da Feira. The next challenge was a roadblock where one of the team members had to become a medieval soldier. After dressing up, they had to hit moving targets using a bow and arrow. After the rest of the teams completed the task, Ana and Jonathan arrived and completed the task.

After the roadblock, teams had to go to Campanha train station and take a train to São Bento Porto Train Station. For the next clue, they had to find a man selling mosaic tiles. Carson and Jack and Han and Holden boarded the same train while the remaining two teams took the next train.

Next destination was ODE Porto Wine House where participants had to solve a 81-tile mosaic puzzle. Carson and Jack finished it first and were the first team to reach the host, Phil. They became the first team to grab their spot in The Amazing Race Season 37 Top 3.

Soon, Han and Holden also join them. During the puzzle, Jonathan dropped a tile while Alyssa and Josiah were still there. Before the third spot in the Top 3 could be revealed, the episode ended.
