Know: At the cab shelter on Kensington, teams would take a taxi driver’s exam. From this starting point, teams would sit in the back of a taxicab operated by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers. The driver would take them along 15 streets, following a specific route, and point out seven points of interest. Once back at the beginning, teams would have to correctly recite all 15 routes, including exact turn-by-turn directions, and all seven points of interest, in the correct order, to the Master of the company. If they could do this, they would receive their next clue.Leo & Jamal, Nicole & Victor, Tyler & KoreyRow: At the river, teams would get into a two-person skiff and had to row themselves across a 200-meter course in under one minute. If they could accomplish this, teams would receive their next clue.Colin & Christie

both detours are very hard but colin/christie who have been last make up a lot of time on the detour as they are the only team to finish row. the memory task is quite hard. the next stop is camden market the pitstop but first will have to pick up items before checking in. leo/jamal hold their lead ending the leg 11 curse for them and winning the leg nicole/victor are eliminated after falling behind.

  1. leo and jamal
  2. tyler and khorey
  3. colin and christie
  4. nicole and victor (eliminated)

the first clue for the final leg sends them to detorit mechigan on the same flight. the first stop is spirit of detroit (with leo/jamal holding many records most legs run and most detours/roadblocks but they are the only team left running their first finale). the next task is the last roadblock of

From earlier at the monument, teams encountered the final Roadblock of the race. Who’s good with numbers? The chosen team member would take the freight elevator to the rooftop of this building. From there, they would perform a 500-foot face-first rappel down the side of the building. On the way down, they would find four numbers pasted upside-down in the windows, which they would have to memorize. When the rappel was over, teams would make their way to the building’s basement, where they would find a massive bank vault. Teams had to use the four numbers as a combination to open the safe, while following specific instructions on how to operate the tumbler locks. Inside of the vault, teams would find their next clue.Colin, Leo, Tyler

leo starts 1st but takes by far the longest on the roadblock putting them last. the next clue sends them to a fowling warehouse to play fowling. colin finishes 1st but lost their cab. giving tyer/khorey a small lead. the afghanimals are now out of it completly as the other teams are neck and neck sending them to third man records for the task of making vinyl disks. the next clue sends them to a plaza for the last task with colin/christie back in the lead. the last task is setting up a drum set from scratch to get their clue. the finish line is in fort wayne and the old fort colin/christie finally win their million dollars 26 seasons late. with tyler/khorey 2nd and leo/jamal 3rd.

amazing race season 31 episode 10

5 teams depart split for amsterdam on the same flight with another u-turn ahead. their first stop is kampen and ride bikes at 9am. the next clue sends them to yacht haven. team fun and nicole/victor have the most trouble with the bikes. the detour is

High: Teams would have to find the De Heultjes Farm, where they would choose a cow sculpture and help load it onto the flatbed of a tractor. They would then follow the tractor back into the city on their bicycles and deliver the cow 2.12 miles to the Nieuwe Toren. After hooking the cow up to a pulley system, teams would have 40 seconds to haul the cow up to the top of the tower. This was in reference to a local folk legend stating that this was once done to a real cow so it could graze on grass growing on the roof. Once the cow had reached the top, one team member had to climb up so they could receive their next clue.Becca & Floyd, Colin & Christie, Leo & Jamal, Nicole & Victor , Tyler & KoreyDry: Teams had to find Erf #29 Farm, where both team members had to participate in the local sport of fierljeppen. After both team members had successfully pole-vaulted across the ditch, they could pick up 12 eggs and two cheeses. They then had to vault back with these objects and load them onto their bicycle. Then, they had to transport all of these items, undamaged 2.8 miles to the Vispoort Market. If everything was in order, teams would receive their next clue.Becca & Floyd , Nicole & Victor

high is easier overall the other task is like the season 12 and 21 task. becca/floyd are quite lost and in last. colin did it very well putting him and christie in the lead finding th eu-turn with tyler/khorey as well equal. the lead teams both don’t u-turn. leo/jamal want to u-turn nicole/victor and get the chance to and do so nicole/victor u-turn team fun (becca/floyd). it is also nicoles birthday. the next stop is giethorn for a task of navigating canals and picking up marked boats to the pitstop. tyler/khorey have dropped to 3rd at that point. the pitstop is on the lake where colin/christie win 7500 dollars each. becca/floyd don’t make up time and are eliminated ending the run of non-race teams finishing last leaving nicole/victor as the only non race team left.

amazing race season 31 episode 9

6 teams depart switzerland for split croatia. the flights are quite tricky the first two teams get the best flight nicole/victor are last to get tickets but get the 2nd flight ahead of the other 3 teams. and the last flight is delayed. there is friction beween nicole/victor and becca/floyd over cutting in line. the first task is serving punch to locals on the beach to get their gnome. the next task is delivering a loaf of bread to a monk. the next clue is the detour of

Poetry in Motion: Teams would get onto the back of a ‘flying tube’ being towed behind a speeding boat through the nearby waters. While on the wild ride, teams would have to memorize a tongue twister poem. Once back on shore, they would have to perfectly recite the poem to a nearby poet to receive their next clue.Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Colin & Christie, Leo & Jamal, Nicole & Victor, Tyler & KoreyWashed in from the Ocean: Teams would receive snorkels and metal detectors, and had to use them to search the shallow waters under one of four buoys for a goblet and five ancient coins, said to be washed up from nearby shipwrecks. Once all six objects were found, teams would receive their next clue.None

a few teams mainly chris/bret try the gold coins but no one gets it so they all do the poetry which is a bit easier than looking for a needle in the haystack type task. chris/bret lose their lead badly at the detour falling from 1st to last. nicole/victor almost take the lead at the detour as tyler/khorey don’t memorise it the first time. the last flight is 91 minutes late. the next clue sends teams to a pallace where nicole/victor are in the lead now with tyler/khorey just behind. the next task is a roadblock of

 Once at this ancient establishment, teams found a Roadblock clue. Who’s ready to get their marching orders? The chosen team member had to watch a group of 18 Roman soldiers moving around in formation. Five of them would be wearing a red ribbon on their helmet. At the end of the sequence, all of the soldiers would stand in place and hide behind their shields, and the team member would be tasked with identifying where the five soldiers with ribbons were standing. If they were correct, teams would receive their next clue.Floyd, Bret, Christie, Leo, Nicole, Korey

several teams work together on the roadblock as its quite tricky. the pitstop is a harbour they must row to in a dingy. tyler/khorey win their 4th straight leg and a trip to mexico ahead of nicole/victor. chris/brets detour choice ends their race despite colin/christie making an error in leaving their gnome.

  1. tyler and khorey

  3. becca and floyd
  4. colin and christie
  5. leo and jamal
  6. chris and bret (eliminated)

next time another double u-turn in amsterdam can nicole/victor break the run of non-race teams finishing last.

amazing race season 31 episode 8

7 teams stay in switzerland. the first stop is a town hall in ballenburg where phil will give the teams instructions. the clue won’t open till 7am leading to time for the teams to socalise. this allows rachel/elissa to explain to leo/jamal what happened which doesn’t help. the next thing is a u-turn vote where each teams get to vote on which two teams have to do both sides of the detour which is a bit harsh. nicole/victor vote for leo/jamal (After disagreeing on who to vote for) rachel/elissa becca/floyd and leo/jamal vote for colin/christie who along with chris/bret vote for rachel/elissa, tyler/khorey vote for nicole/victor. so colin/christie and rachel/elissa will do both detours. there is also the speed bump

Before beginning the Detour, Nicole & Victor would have to re-enter the community hall and take down the 28 flags representing the Cantons of Switzerland that were hanging from the roof. They then had to properly fold and store the flags before they could continue.

the detour is

Haymaking: One team member would receive a scythe and had to use it to cut down a lane of grass. Their partner would follow behind and rake up all of the loose grass. They would then stack it properly at the end of the lane, in preparation for making it into hay. If everything was performed correctly, teams would receive their next clue.Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Colin & Christie , Leo & Jamal, Rachel & Elissa , Tyler & KoreyCow Dressing: Following a given example, teams had to use the provided tools and material to build a decorative headdress that would be worn by a cow in a local festival. They would then chose a cow to wear their headdress and lead it through the museum to the area where the festival was taking place. If the judges were impressed with their cow, teams would receive their next clue.Colin & Christie, Nicole & Victor, Rachel & Elissa

rachel/elissa think getting u-turned was personal not strategical. rachel/elissa lose the detour clue at one point which costs them time as no one helps them but it still doesn’t seal their fate. becca does best at the detour of all of them. the next stop is a farm for the roadblock of

Once at this farm, teams encountered a Roadblock. Who wants to be the big shot? The chosen team member had to take on the role of William Tell and had to use a crossbow to shoot an apple off the head of a scarecrow. If they shot the scarecrow’s head, it and its arms would fall off, and teams would have to repair the scarecrow before trying again. Once the apple was hit, teams would receive their next clue.Becca, Bret, Colin, Jamal, Victor, Rachel, Tyler

this reminds me of the roadblock in season 3. tyler/khorey and team fun lead. leo/jamal get so lost they are last (behid the u-turned teams and nicole/victor). becca who was the only team in that season to do the shotting detour in panama. chris/bret are somehow 1st to get the pitstop clue the grand hotel with no more non-elim legs. tyler/khorey though beat chris/bret for 1st to win a cruise to vietnam and cambodia. colin/christie recover quickly finishing 3rd in the end rachel/elissa lose narrowly and are eliminated.

  1. tyler and khorey (suprising they got no votes for u-turn now they have won 3 legs in a row)
  2. chris and bret
  3. colin and christie (what a comeback)
  4. becca and floyd
  5. nicole and victor
  6. leo and jamal
  7. rachel and elissa (eliminated) (first time for rachel in 32 legs)

next time split croatia poetry gnome style.

amazing race season 31 episode 7

7 teams depart ugana for swizterland fly to zurich and travel by train to grindewald and a glacier george. becca/floyd and leo/jamal talk about futre u-turns (team fun have forgivven rachel/elissa) rachel is going for the record number of legs on the race. the conversation sees leo/jamal suggest nicole/victor and colin/christie for u-turns but rachel/elissa disagree. nicole/victor find out what happened from rachel/elissa and after talking to the other teams are turned against rachel/elissa which is not wise. there is no u-turn this leg though. the hike at altitude is hard. the next task is a roadblock of

At the entrance to this massive canyon, teams found a Roadblock. Who wants to take the scenic route? The chosen team member had to ride a terrifying bungee swing through the canyon, 400ft above the ground in a 70mph freefall. After their jump, that team member had to travel further into the gorge, where they would find a net stretcing across the ravine. Hanging from below this net was their next clue.Becca, Chris, Christie, Leo, Nicole, Elissa, Korey

the jump is not hard if your not scared. chris/bret are last doing the jump. the next clue sends them by helicopter to a mountain pass. nicole is quite scared at this point. the next clue is a detour of

Water Power: Teams had to travel to the top of the large dam at Gelmersee. To get to the dam, teams would have to ride the world’s steepest funicular. On the way up, teams would see signs with the name and volume of eight of the nearby water reservoirs, which they would have to memorize. At the top, teams would be presented with a map containing only the basins’ volumes, and had to apply labels to them correctly. If correct, they would receive their next clue and could ride the funicular back down.Leo & Jamal, Nicole & VictorWater Down: Teams would choose a canyoning instructor and would be taken in a vehicle to the top of the canyon. They then had to rappel down into the canyon and make their way back to the bottom. Along the way they would overcome steep and slippery terrain, jumps off of small cliffs, a natural water slide, and a small zipline. At one point, teams had to jump off of a rock into a pool of water and grab their next clue, which was hanging in midair.Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Colin & Christie, Rachel & Elissa, Tyler & Korey

the memory part is tricky so the other task is slightly easier. leo/jamal are confident though with their choice despite the vanicular waits. and they are 1st to get the pitstop clue sending them to a church for the pitstop but lose the lead due to the wait and the drive. tyler/khorey win the leg though and a spa treatment during the pitstop. navigating puts nicole/victor down to last and are spared by the final non-elim of the season after losing narrowly to chris/bret and rachel/elissa (who there is tension between the old big brother teams).

  1. tyler and khorey
  2. colin and christie
  3. becca and floyd
  4. leo and jamal (a bit of a drop)
  5. rachel and elissa

amazing race season 31 episode 6

8 teams depart dubai for kampala uganda and the national mosque on the same flight. tyler/khorey are a bit etmotional going to a non-gay accepting place. the first task is counting the steps in the minaret (272). getting help online doesn’t help tyler/khroey. the next clue sends them to soweto resturant where the speed bump is at uweno market. becca/floyd have dropped to 7th only ahead of janelle/brittany. the speed bump is

Teams found their next clue here, within Owino Market, but Rachel & Elissa first had to complete a Speed Bump. They would receive a basket of dirty laundry and had to hand wash every article of clothing within. They then had to find an available space on the nearby clotheslines to hang each item before they could continue with the Race.

the roadblock is at the market

From outside of the restaurant, located in this marketplace, teams found a Roadblock. Who wants a Rolex? The chosen team member would receive a shopping list with items needed to make a “Rolex”, a locally-made rolled egg sandwich. Once all items were purchased, and after teams watched a live demonstration, they would cook a Rolex. If a Rolex vendor approved of their work, they would receive their next clue.Floyd, Chris, Colin, Janelle, Jamal, Victor, Elissa, Korey

nicole/victor are 1st to get the clue ahead of tyler/khorey which sends them to ggaba landing site. as janelle/brittany struggle still thinking its a watch even though they arrived before rachel/elissa. the next clue is a detour of

Salty Roll: Teams had to move a wheelbarrow over to a workstation, which was filled with the largest African freshwater fish, the Nile perch.

Once all of the fish was prepared, teams would receive their next clue.Janelle & Britney, Rachel & ElissaMove the Pole: Teams would have to load firewood onto a bicycle and then transport it over to a storage area. They then had to stack the wood by following a given example. Once their stack was tall enough, teams would receive their next clue.Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Colin & Christie, Leo & Jamal, Nicole & Victor, Tyler & Korey

the wood is easier and most teams do quicker at that. janelle is still at the roadblock still misunderstanding the clue. tyler/khorey are 1st to get the clue of a headtohead coming up. One team member from each team would compete against each other in a game similar to the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, which involved differently-colored drums on four different poles. Teams had to move the drums from pole to pole until each pole only had a single color of drum on it. The other team members would watch from the sidelines and offer advice. The winners would be allowed to check into the Pit Stop, and the last team remaining would be eliminated.

tyler/khorey beat colin/christie for 1st winning a trip to singapore. colin/christie beat nicole/victor for 2nd who beat chris/bret who beat becca/floyd who beat leo/jamal who beat rachel/elissa leading to an emotional finish where janelle/brittany are eliminated.

At the end of the canal, teams would pick up a fish trap, which they would bring to a fishmonger to get their next clue.Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Colin & Christie, Corinne & Eliza, Janelle & Britney, Nicole & Victor, Tyler & Korey

Teams had to purchase 3 prepared ducks and 8 fish, and then properly filet, gut and skewer them. If the chef approved of their work, teams would receive their next clue.Becca & Floyd, Chris & Bret, Colin & Christie, Janelle & Britney, Leo & Jamal, Nicole & Victor, Rachel & Elissa, Tyler & Korey

navigating laos is quite hard on foot to the detour.  the animosity over the u-turn between team fun and rachel/elissa is high. the laos language task is not easy though but corine/eliza figure it out 1st (ahead of everyone) going to an elephant place. nicole/victor do well as well at the deotur. chris/bret and rupert/laura are racing for last. leo/jamal take the lead going into the roadblock of

Once at this village, teams found a Roadblock inside of an intricately-designed clue box. Who likes to be in command? The chosen team member had to get on the back of an elephant and ride it out of the village and across the river. They would be given a satchel with a tapestry on the side, upon which were written Lao vocal commands that could be used to control the elephant. On the opposite side of the river, teams had to enter the jungle and listen for the sound of music. Once they found a group of Hmong musicians playing instruments, they would be given their next clue and could ride back to the village.Becca, Chris, Christie, Corinne, Britney, Jamal, Nicole, Elissa, Rupert, Tyler

it is not too hard if you know the commands. the order is shuffled again going into the roadblock. the pitstop is wat xieng thung where leo/jamal win the leg and 2500 dollars each rupert/laura struggle and are eliminated.

the first clue is in the sand they must dig it up. the clue sends them to tokyo where leo/jamal got eliminated in their first season. art/jj (Who honestly i’m supprised to see back get the clue last). corrine/eliza are making comments about other teams that are mostly false or not fair. the first stop is shibuya for a clue. the first stop is tokyo tokyo resturant or a lock place with a limited number in each place. leo/jamal try and throw other teams off the lead of a clue with a deliberate argument. rupert/laura start well finding the clue in 1st. the edge of shibuya is the next stop with the surivivor teams in the lead. art/jj fall behind early quite a bit. the next task is a roadblcok of

On the fifth floor of this building, teams found the first Roadblock of the Race. Who wants a sweet new pair of shoes? The chosen team member would to sit on a seat in the middle of a room, surrounded by shelves filled with hundreds of traditional Japanese geta shoes. Using only their eyes, they had to pick out one of only 12 shoes that was actually made of chocolate. When they picked out a shoe, an attendant would bring it to them and they would have to bite down on it to see if it was chocolate or wooden. Once they found a chocolate shoe, they and their partner had to eat a certain portion of it before receiving their next clue. This task was inspired by Japanese game shows.JJ, Floyd, Chris, Christie, Eliza, Janelle, Jamal, Victor, Elissa, Laura, Tyler

which is just luck but not too hard just don’t get too many wrong. leo/jamal are 1st there. some teams go to tokyo tokyo resturant when there out. the afghanimals get the first clue sending them to shiba koen for the next clue for another roadblock that is climbing a model mount fuji.

The platform was wet and slippery, and teams needed to climb to the top of it to retrieve their next clue.Art (not completed), Becca, Bret, Colin, Corinne, Britney, Leo, Nicole, Rachel, Rupert, Korey

it can be tricky if you miss the clue like bret does or if you get very lost (looking for an hidden immuntiy idol wrong show) as rupert/laura do. the pitstop is atago jinja a shrine where the last team is eliminated. leo/jamals prize is a trip to french polynesia. art can’t climb the thing and is hurt so they take the penalty ending their race.

wants to vote for them he still thinks sophie is a brat but thinks she can change, albert didn’t do anything too amazing, coach gets credit for getting to the end as a veteran. jim asks albert why the others shouldn’t win but gives a poor answer and says coach wasn’t the leader they where and says sophie wasn’t social player. dawn asks sophie about the alliance and strategy, sophie says coach was

there will be a race for tickets to tokyo with two flights only 8 teams get on the first flight. win the first leg you get the express pass and there is a double u-turn on the first leg. teams go through the mud to get tickets. matt/ashley jeff/jackie laura/tyler ay/stve harley/jonathon jeff/lyda bergen/kurt and jaylani/jenny are on the first flight the others are on the 2nd to tokyo. the first stop is tokyo and a shrine and a clue the double u-turn is blind. team are given a selvie camera more on that in the finale as its unusual. hayley/blair have dinner when they find out that harley/jonathan where in new kids on the block. the first flight has a 45 minute lead. most teams take the trains but some teams take taxis from narita. the taxi though is quicker and jaylani/jenny and jeff/jackie are first out the kisei skyliner is better than the narita express somehow. libby/cj get the taxi compared to the other teams behind and hayley/blair are last. the next clue is a detour that jaylani/jenny are 1st to choose “syncing steps” is learning a complicated japanese dance with world order “samurai sake” requries teams to remeber orders of sake and relay it to their partner and it is correct they get the clue. jaylani/jenny choose syncing steps jeff/jackie choose sake and it is the easier detour. jeff/jackie get it quickly pretty much. the world order detour is at shinjuku chou park.matt/ashley are doing the dancing in 3rd. laura/tyler and aly/steve do the same. harley/jonathan do the sake. hayley/blair are a bit lost. jackies brain is not good but get the clue in 1st sending them to wakaba hakashi park for the u-turn. the dancing is quite hard. jeff/lyda and bergen/kurt choose dance mike/rochelle now in9th choose dance as does libby/cj. harley/jonathan get the detour done quickly and are in 2nd getting a cab. libby/cj are already lost finding the park and take the train there. hayley/blair choose dance and are out of last place due to libby/cjs naviagtion. no one can figure out the dance why they don’t switch detours is beyond me. laura/tyler are doing ok at the dance unlike everyone else getting the clue in 3rd (annoying matt). jaylani/jenny get it next in 4th. none of the lead teams (jeff/jackie in 1st) use the u-turn the pitstop is in a parking space in tokyo. how many attempts the dance is taking would be exhausting. ally/steve are next to finish the detour. jaylani/jenny and laura/tyler don’t u-turn having passed harley/jonathan. jeff/jackie lose their lead to jaylani/jenny in the footrace for first (by figuring out its outside). jaylani/jenny win the express pass. it is now dark at the dance and no one is having an easy time. bergen/kurt get it next. harley/jonathan are lost but find the u-turn and don’t use it nor do ally/steve. matt/ashley finally get it after hayley/blair. bergen/kurt don’t u-turn. libby/cj are 9th out of the detour but get lost again. hayley/blair are also lost finding the u-turn. matt/ashley take the subway losing them time. libby/cj are quite lost in the middle of the night jeff/lyda may get the dance but are u-turned by mike/rochelle (who where 2nd to last out of the detour but had jumped to 7th so it wasn’t nesscuary). matt/ashley and hayley/blair don’t u-turn. jeff/lyda take over 4 hours at the dance detour before getting the clue to send them to the u-turn where they waste the u-turn on jeff/jackie (who where 1st to finish the other detour) but have a chance as libby/cj are in no where land finding it. jeff/lyda finish the sake quickly (proving they should have gone there first). libby/cj are quite lost and even asking the same person they asked 10 minutes ago (how crazy) but still finish 10th jeff/lyda are eliminated (not before another mistake).

survivor south pacific episode 10

after tribal jim is quite disappointed to be on redemption and tells them what happened and is quite upset about the cult like thing that coach is running. back at camp coach tries to defend his move against jim and tell dawn and whitney on the bottom that they are not and saying they don’t have anything to worry about (but they do). whitney thinks they are stupid to go with the plan at this point. coach tells cocheran about alberts squirminish and says to cocheran that he won’t vote him out 7 (which is a lie). the duel is an endurance challenge holding onto a poll for the longest wins the two losers are out and become the first two jurors.no one is chearing for ozzy but the others have people cheering for each of them. jim is out first and becomes the first juror. keith has trouble but ozzy also moves a little in the end ozzy wins sending keith to the jury. ozzy enjoys being on redemption doing a lot of fishing and relaxing to keep his energy up. back at camp the fishing is not as good though. dawn tries to get cocheran to keep her in the game but they don’t have the numbers to save dawn or whitney. the next immunity challenge is ballancing a bowl of rice on their heads and empty it into a container if it falls off or you touch it you go back to the start. it is a tough learning curve ballancing it. only dawn, brandon and sohpie get it without dropping the first time. several fall brandon is doing pretty well as is sophie and dawn the only 3 in it at this point. in the end sophie wins immunity. there is a twist in a bottle at tribal again. dawn says there is still hope with the twist. they expect two people to go home and dawn knows its probablly her as the biggest threat. whitney says that albert might give them hope and pleads her case to get rid of edna. albert pleads the case to get rid of edna (probablly a plead for jury votes). brandon is not happy about albert making himself avalaible. albert pleads his case to sophie saying that edna would be closer to coach. coach is upset at albert and says the strategy is not good. at tribal dawn says that they have to make a move to stay in the game for better spots. whitney says cocheran is 7 due to the fact he was late to the alliance and hearing things. coach says the amuont of control is slipping away and says the girls could change the game if the right people listen. in the end albert and cocheran vote with upolu to send dawn home 7-2 over edna. but thats not all the twist is straight to an immunity challenge and another vote. the next challenge is answering questions about survival. the first question is how much water they should drink c one gallon albert, edna, rick are wrong. the coconut crab gets it name beacuse its favourite food is coconut cocheran nad brandon are out. the third question the part of the coconut is heart of palm coach is wrong. so its whitney v sophie. the answer to the criitical question is you can attempt to remove clams from the ocean so sophie wins. in the end whitney is voted out 7-1 over cocheran.

8 teams depart denmark for marakech morrocco on the same flight and find jemaa al-fana and a food cart carage. kym/alli take the metro to the airport teams are quite happy to be going to morrocco. the flight arrives 315pm on sas evening the teams. misti/jim are releaved to still have the save and tell shelly/nici about it and are quite confident and are first out of the airport. teams can’t pronounce their first stop shelly/nici decide to leave their bags in the cab for one hunread dollars an hour. the market is big and finding a clue is hard. tim/tejay want to buy everything here (Not a good idea on a limited budget). seeing snakes scares teams the next clue is setting up a food cart which isn’t too hard and also a u-turn ahead. misti/jims speed bump is gathering carpets and putting it on a wall. the cart though is heavy which can make it hard. misti/jim are struggling with the carpet speed bump. the teams finish the task even with difficulty keith/whitney finish the task 1st sendingg them to a tannery for their next clue. misti/jim are having trouble with the speed bump but get it done though. kym/alli, brooke/robbie and shelly/nici finish next in that order. amy/maya, adam/bethany and tim/tejay finish next. teams get very lost finding the tanery. the next task is a roadblock of finishing preparing a skin getting hair off it and than deliver it by bycycle to receive a recept to return to the tannery. keith is doing the roadblokc amy, brooke, bethany (supprisingly due to her arm), can’t tell out of kym/alli or tim/te jay. the smell is overwhelming at the roadblock. nici is doing the roadblock having dropped to 7th. misti is doing the task to redem herself from last leg. tim is doing the roadblock and most teams are finishing the task. ally (i think is doing it and is in her element). misti is doing better than nici at the roadblock. the navigating is quite hard and bethany is impressing everyone at the task as teams end up meeting up in the same spot lost and are all together. tim finds it first amazingly and leads to a log jam as teams arrive at the tanery somehow shelly and keith get into a fight over if whitney was next to keith when they got back and she has to play peacemaker. the next clue sends them somewhre else on foot. shelly considers it dirty and it upsets whitney (shelly believes in karma which its not). whitney is right to be concerned about the u-turn somehow tim/tejay fall to last. the next clue is a detour of “twirl time” requires one team member to twirl on their head for one minute while one plays the drums while maintaining the beat. “tea time” requires teams to pick up a tea set and deliver it and poor it onto a tray. adam/bethany choose tea time kym/alli choose twirl time (As does shelly/nici, amy/maya and keith/whitney) the others choose tea time i think. the worry about twirl time is the rhtthm. whitney is having trouble with the twriling. the pooring is complicated but quicker if you do it right. kym/alli have trouble with the twirling getting dizzy but not as much as keith/whitney (as whitney doens’t have any use with her music talent). maya can’t keep it on her head. shelly was having a lot of trouble with the rhythm as well. teams aren’t pooring correctly. adam/bethany get it first sending them to the u-turn mat at the cafe glacier (which was visited in season 3). no one else is doing well at the detour. kym/alli get it though putting them in 2nd going to the u-turn. whitney is having trouble still and they switch whose doing the drums and keith can’t get it either. kym/alli get to the u-turn first and don’t use it the pitstop is a carpet shop nor do adam/bethany. kym/alli win a footrace for 1st and 5000 dollars each. shelly/nici finish the task next and u-turn keith/whitney (which is sort of a waste because of how far behind they are but u-turning anyone else would help them) more ridicilous arguing about karma. no one tim/te jay are next and don’t u-turn and finish 3rd. misti/jim get it just ahead of brooke/robbie. amy/maya get it next putting keith/whitney out of it compeletly even before they u-turn and are eliminated.
