Kevjumba and his dad talks Amazing Race Season 17 episode 4
Kevjumba and his dad remains in the middle of the pack for Amazing Race Season 17. Team Jumba leaves behind the freezing cold of the Arctic Circle to Narvik, Norway. Watch the whole episode here.

Spoiler Alert!! Father and son Michael & Kevin arrived at the Skjombrua Bridge to find a Roadblock. In it, one team member had to step off the deck on the bridge and rappel to the water below. When they were at the end of their rope, teams had to signal for a boat to bring them their clue. Once rigged to return, teams had to use a mechanical ascender to haul themselves 130-feet back to the top of the bridge.

Walking to the center of the bridge, Kevin got attached to the rigging as Michael cheered him on. Kevin said, “The view is crazy. I don’t know why I’m looking down. It’s just making me more nervous.” Taking the big, final step off the side of the bridge, Kevin started his descent towards the water, slowly at first, then picking up speed. Once at the bottom, Kevin began the ascent up the bridge with his clue attached.

The pair head to the region of Harvika, where they find a Detour having to choose between Bike and Boats. Team Jumba chose Boats with Kevin citing his dad as the reason the two went with the less physically demanding boat delivery. In Boats, teams made their way to a nearby fishing trawler. Using a map for reference, they had to direct the captain to a spot onshore where they would disembark and deliver on foot two large cod and a chainsaw to a summer lodge. Team Jumba ended in fourth place in this leg of the race.

Phil tries to instruct young Kevin about the inevitable circle of life from his own experience with his father.
