dustin and kandice
the first clue sends them to bejing on one of two flights and race to a resturant for a roadblock of eating chinese delacacies before going to the forbidden city to find departure times which eliminates billal/saeed as the last team theree was eliminated desptie not being a pit stop. the detour is either making bricks or doing taji balong the former is quicker yipul/arti fall behind and are eliminated despite david/mary thinknig their last on the great wall. tyler/james are 1st.
