The Amazing Race: Season 4, Episode 4 - Check Your Tires Because...Oh God, You Never Know What'll Happen!
The Amazing Race on ImdbAction | Adventure | Game-Show | Reality-TV
6/19/2003
The teams start by traveling to France. Transportation confusion with trains and jets causes some teams into the lead to fall behind, while others reach the route marker in France early. There, they're surprised to find themselves faced with a Roadblock rather than a Detour. The Roadblock involves changing the tires on a race car and then doing a lap with a professional driver. All teams succesfully complete the task and then head to the next location, a lighthouse over 500 miles away. However, they find themselves all bunched together by the morning opening hours. Some teams check into a hotel, while others choose to wait by the side of the road. When Tian and Jaree arrive the next morning, after checking into a hotel, they're escorted to a parking spot by police. However, the teams on the side of the road cry foul, thinking that they're cutting in line. In the end, the original line is preserved and the fussing was for nothing. The teams receive a clue taking them to the Georges de Blavet, 93 miles away. There, they encounter this leg's Detour: Ropes or Slopes. In the end, all teams choose Ropes, except for Tian and Jaree, who fall behind and opt for the Fast Forward. The Fast Forward places them in first place. The other teams race for the pit stop and in the end, Steve and Dave, despite being behind most of the leg, once again manage to squeak in. Steve and Josh, however, fall far behind and are eliminated from the race.

Interview with Margie and Luke from "The Amazing Race"
added by newsBotLuke and Margie Adams
It was the gayest season ever of The Amazing Race, and also one of the best ever. Coincidence? I don't think so. There was father and son Mel and Mike White, who are both gay; sisters Kisha and Jen, (Kisha is a lesbian); one person who apparently isn't out of the closet; and, finally, Luke Adams and his mom Margie.
Luke and Margie were the only team with a gay member to make it to the final three, and while they didn't quite make it over the finish line first, they ran an impressive race — especially considering Luke is deaf, a potential drawback in a race where quick communication can be vital.
While the show never identified Luke as gay, this 24-year-old Coloradan is out and proud — and especially proud of the fact that he's the youngest gay man to ever make it to the final three.
