The ex-NFL cheerleaders Jaime & Cara continued to have difficulty gaining any sort of traction on "The Amazing Race 14," struggling yet again to complete the course in good time.
To their credit, Jaime & Cara formed an alliance with seemingly stronger mother/son team Margie & Luke. Being willing to go he extra mile to communicate with Luke was not only the good human thing to do, it paid off in at least a minor racing dividend.
The challenges proved difficult for the team as Cara's self-professed lack of upper body strength slowed her on the gymnastics routines while the pair together encounter multiple difficulties on the vampire-themed Roadblock. The friends got the coffin stuck while dragging it up a woody hill then seemingly didn't understand the process in using keys to unlock the coffin chains.

Fortunately, the alliance paid off as Margie helped explain the process to the ex-cheerleaders to help them into a seventh place finish. Of course, anything other than self-immolation would have gotten them a 7th place finish by that point. The one hindrance that really wasn't their fault was the wayward taxi driver who led them astray driving to the vampire remains Roadblock site. That kind of bad luck should equalize out.
This blogger keeps waiting though for some kind of indication that Jaime and Cara can put a successful race leg together. They've avoided the absolutely disastrous mistakes but past mid-race, more than that will be needed for any future race success.
