the final 4 teams depart india for hiroshima japan on the same flight and than by boat to minsaina island. the best flight arrives 810pm the next day. vanessas injury is still bad. teams first take a bus to the city and brendon/rachel fall slightly behind as a result of mising the first bus and the usual people make fun of them in a bit o f a rude way. mising the bus leads to an issue between brendon/rachel. the next sotp is the train station and end up with brendon/rachel catching up slightly with a 10pm train carrying all the teams except rachel/dave who end up on the 1020pm train this nearly makes a key difference as they miss the last ferry of the night to the island but the first ferry in the morning still makes the clue opening hours despite leaving 8 hours behind so there is no advantage in fact the clue won’t be till the morning sunrise. that morning the clue asks them to pay their respects to the victims of world war 2s attack on the area at the memorial park before taking the train to osaka and a tv studio on the same train at the tv 8 studio. rachel/dave and brendon/rachel take the subway while the other teams take a taxi. it is confusing to find art/jj are in the lead with a japanese game show roadblock of having to run on a moving sidewalk and jump and grab 3 chickens and than jump in a crazy way. Art takes the roadblock and fails the first attempt only getting 1 chicken and falls off many times the course while getting the 2nd but gets the third before any team shows up but can’t do the jump. vanessa/ralph are having trouble with cabs. teams are pretty lost at this point. art gets it still way ahead sending them to the umeda sky building and where the detour clue is. vanessa has to do the roadblock despite her injury due to having to go into the final leg even brendon has to do it for the same reason. rachel (of rachel/dave takes the roadblock). vanessa’s injury doesn’t help her with the task with brendon gets 2 chickens quickly but no one is doing well at the task rachel gets 1 before vanessa but brendon gets 3 quickly rachel gets 2 before vanessa has any. brendon/rachel get the clue 2nd but rachel/dave aren’t far behind with vanessa/ralph a long way back even though vanessa has 1. vanessa’s injury makes ralph consider taking the penalty but she won’t give up and gets the 2nd chicken despite the pain and gets it but still hasn’t jumped. meanwhile the other teams find the clue at the observatory which is the detour of “bingo shout out” pick up sushi and put it on a bingo card and once they have them in order they must eat it all to receive their clue. “photo cut out” requires getting locals to pose for a photo after 10 they get a clue. art/jj take the sushi. rachel/dave are a little lost as are brendon/rachel don’t realise its one floor down. vanessa is still in pain but narrowly fails but than gets it. rachel/dave take the photo task. brendon/rachel do the sushi although rachel/daves bag is left open causing problems leading to a big fight. vanessa/ralph catch up as teams struggle to get cabs vanessa/ralph take the sushi. it is noisy the sushi resturant which makes it hard its confusing some of the words at the task. rachel/dave do the photos but its not easy to get people into it. art/jj are well ahead on the sushi compared to brendon/rachel who just starting while vanessa/ralph are lost. rachel/dave are getting the photo done quicker. rachel/dave finish the detour in 1st sending them to the pitstop osaka castle with a good lead. art/jj finish the detour in 2nd place. rachel is getting stressed at the sushi allowing vanessa/ralph to catch up. rachel/dave win their record equaling 7th first place (only the third team to do it in a season only one more team has done it since) there prize is a trip to new zelland. art/jj are a little more confused at the castle. brendon/rachel finish the detour in 3rd ahead of vanessa/ralph. art/jj are a little lost at the castle finding the pitstop. vanessa/ralph finish the detour before anyone else gets to the pitstop causing a closer race for last. the other two teams are close to each other a bit lost as vanessa/ralph arrive at the castle but its too late for vanessa/ralph who are eliminated.
