This week’s episode of The Amazing Race is not for those with a fear of heights — and unfortunately for some of the contestants, that’s exactly what they have!

Episode 2 of Season 29 sees the new pairings — all total strangers until they met in the premiere last week — head to the hustle and bustle of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The recruiting manager, who’s been paired with NYC criminal attorney Brooke Camhi on the show, is on the verge of tears as he says: “I have a fear of heights. I’m really scared about it.”

Tonight’s episode of The Amazing Race 29 is titled Scared Spitless — which pretty accurately describes several of the contestants experiences on the challenge.

Last week’s premiere episode saw Kevin and Jenn eliminated, while Seth and Olive, pictured above, came first. Brooke and Scott came fourth.
