In this episode, teams made their way from Khwai, Botswana to Lucknow, India. The Chirpy Old Farts are still chirpy, exclaiming “we don’t want to break a hip.” I am hoping that they will be gone soon–they are getting on my nerves. Sadly, Lynn & Alex are helping them “because we want you guys in the finals with us.” Of course they do, they can beat the old fuckers in a foot race! All of the teams were bunched up heading to India through Mumbai and Delhi. At the Francistown, Botswana airport Lynn & Alex borrowed a cell phone and tried to squeeze out Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly. However, Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly managed worked with the counter person to get a flight that was scheduled to arrive 5 minutes before the flight that the other teams were on. It doesn’t sound like much, but 5 minutes is still a lead.
Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly completed the tea task at roughly the same time. Both teams were shocked to see the clue which said to “see Phil on the Mat” and made no mention of a Pitstop. Rob & Amber managed to get a tuk-tuk taxi instead of a bicycle rickshaw to get to the mat and arrived there first. Phil told them that they were still racing and proceeded to give them their next clue. The screen then flashed “To Be Continued…” This episode was reminiscent of the “Lori & Bolo to be continued” episode from the previous race, which saddens me. Why? Well the Chirpy Old Farts are in last place and look like they are about to be eliminated. However, due to this “extended” leg they may be able to get out of last place, just like Lori & Bolo. I hope not. Episode Stats Funniest Moment: The look on Gretchen’s face at the taxi window counter. Prediction of Next Team Eliminated: Meredith & Gretchen, it has to happen eventually. |
