TAR20, Recap Leg 10, 4/29/12

Welcome to Leg 10! Last time, on Bollywood Dreams, teams raced from Tanzania to India. Team Kentucky got stuck at the Roadblock, which caused them to finish last. Mark started suffereing from a heat related illness, but the boys stuck it out and finished to find the third non-elimination leg. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Arrival at the pit stop last episode:
1st – Rachel/Dave , Team Free Ron Again!
2nd – Brendon/Rachel, Team Sparkles
3rd – Art/JJ, Team Patrulla Fronteriza
4th – Vanessa/Ralph, The Dating Divorcees
5th – Bopper/Mark, The Kentucky Hillbillies

Bolgatty Palace, Cochin, India


6:53 AM Rachel/Dave (1st)

Clue: Make your way to Cheranallur and find the temple in order to get a blessing from the priest and receive your next clue. You have $25 for this leg of the race.


Dave extols on the fact that he thinks they are the strongest team left. And he’s probably right. (Toyouke: “I find it interesting they emphasized that Rachel and Dave "won" the last leg, as opposed to "finished first".”)

7:20 AM Brendon/Rachel (2nd) – Brendon reminds Rachel to not be emotional. You may also want to avoid drinking that haterade.
7:28 AM Art/JJ (3rd)
7:32 AM Vanessa/Ralph (4th)
10:38 AM Bopper/Mark (5th)
– and Mark is not doing well at all. (Toyouke: “It's not a good sign when your team doesn't leave the Pit Stop until halfway through the episode.”)

Teams arrive at the temple in Cheranallur.

However, once they arrive, Bopper and Mark find the Speed Bump.

SPEED BUMP:

A speed bump is a task that must be performed by the last place team on a non-elimination leg. Once they complete this task, they may return to the place where the speed bump occurred and continue the leg. In this speed bump, teams must paint a tiger on the belly of a traditional Pulikali dancer in order to get their next clue.

Teams complete the Speed Bump in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark – Bopper: “I have no problem with painting, it’s just strange when it’s on a man’s belly.” (Toyouke: “That's a pretty good tiger.”)

After much tiger painting, they continue with the rest of the teams to the next task in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Brendon/Rachel
3- Vanessa/Ralph
4- Art/JJ
5- Bopper/Mark


Teams get their blessings from the priest and get their next clue. Rachel and Dave open their clue and find. . . a Fast Forward!

FAST FORWARD:

Recall that a fast forward is a task that can be performed to allow one team to skip all remaining tasks and head directly to the pit stop. However, each team may only use their fast forward power once on the race, so they must decide when it is more advantageous to use it. In this, the third (!?!?) fast forward on this race, teams must travel to a nearby Hindu temple to perform the traditional good luck ceremony of shaving your head. Sound familiar? That’s because this is a Switchback, a task previously performed on the race in the same location. This one is from TAR7, allowing Uchenna and Joyce to move into first place, setting up their Amazing Race win. So, woot. Once complete, they get their next clue and skip all remaining tasks and travel directly to the Pit Stop.

Teams decide to go for the Fast Forward in the following order:

1- Brendon/Rachel – (Toyouke: “Oh, Rachel. Had you EVER watched this show you would know what an "Indian good-luck ritual" is.”)
2- Bopper/Mark

So – hair shaving, or lack thereof. Rachel freaks out, sending her and Brendon back into the thick of the other teams. (Toyouke: “You paid $500 for extensions? Why did you get extensions right before you were going to be tearing around the world without showering? You know what, that is a stupid question because it's Rachel.”) Bopper and Mark have no problem doing it, partially because they are boys, and partially because Mark’s head is already shaved. They get the clue, and head toward the Pit Stop. (Toyouke: “If the Fast Forward actually saves a last place team instead of just being used to keep the first place team in first place, that will be fantastic. But I wonder if they are too far behind.”)

The rest of the teams are instructed to travel to Pattanacoir Coir Mats and Matting. They arrive in the following order:

1- Vanessa/Ralph
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel


We then get the ninth roadblock clue.

ROADBLOCK:

Who’s at the end of their rope?


In this roadblock, one team member must work in a fifty year old rope making facility to create a 40 foot rope of coconut husk. Once complete, roadblockers take four bundles of rope and wrap them onto a spindle to get their next clue. Brendon and Bopper must complete the task, if they attempt it.

The following teammates take the Roadblock:

1- Ralph
2- Dave
3- Art
4- Brendon


After weaving, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:

1- Vanessa/Ralph
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
– (Toyouke: “Oh honey, it'll take a LOT more than hair to make you pretty. You have to compensate for your personality.”)

Teams now make their way to Fort Kochi and search for the barber under the ancient tree to get their clue. Vanessa rolls her ankle en route. Teams arrive in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Vanessa/Ralph
3- Brendon/Rachel
4- Art/JJ


And we get the Detour Clue.

DETOUR:
Pachyderm OR Pack a Box

*Pachyderm: Teams must properly decorate an elephant with a headdress and golden ornaments, and then transport 15 wheelbarrows full of elephant manure to a nearby truck, before receiving their next clue from the master of ceremonies.
*Pack a Box: Teams must head to a ginger processing center, collect 10 empty boxes, fill them with ginger that they have sifted to measure to the right weight, and then stencil the label on the box. Once the distribution manager is pleased with their work, he will give them their next clue.


1- Rachel/Dave choose Pachyderm
2- Vanessa/Ralph choose Pachyderm
3- Brendon/Rachel choose Pachyderm
4- Art/JJ choose Pack a Box


Teams complete the detour in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Vanessa/Ralph
3- Brendon/Rachel
4- Art/JJ


Teams find now that they must take a ferry to the Cheena Vala Fishing Nets, the PIT STOP of the tenth leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated!

1- Rachel/Dave – who win $10000 each.
2- Brendon/Rachel
3- Vanessa/Ralph
4- Art/JJ
5- Bopper/Mark

And Bopper and Mark are eliminated. And now I have no one to root for.


ORDER NOW:

1st – Rachel/Dave
2nd – Brendon/Rachel
3rd – Vanessa/Ralph
4th – Art/JJ

Next week: Two hour finale! Tempers flare! We visit a Japanese game show! And in the final leg, one team neglects to complete a task and tries to check in at the finish line! See you then!

TAR20, Recap Leg 9, 4/22/12

Welcome to Leg 9! Last time, on U-Turn-A-Palooza, teams continued racing through Tanzania, and encountered a double U-Turn. Rachel and Dave broke their promise, so Art and JJ U-turned team Big Brother, and were annoyed that they had to do it. Kentucky finished first, “Teachers” finished last and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Arrival at the pit stop last episode:
1st – Bopper/Mark, The Kentucky Hillbillies
2nd – Rachel/Dave , Team Free Ron Again!
3rd – Art/JJ, Team Patrulla Fronteriza
4th – Brendon/Rachel, Team Sparkles
5th – Vanessa/Ralph, The Dating Divorcees

Lake Manyara, Tanzania

9:06 PM Bopper/Mark (1st)
Clue: Fly 2900 miles to Cochin, India! Once there, make your way to Rajiv Ghandi Municipal Bus Terminal and take a bus to Sacred Heart College in Thevara to get your next clue.

Bopper called for medical attention to have his knee looked at. (Toyouke: “Uh oh. Doctor visit.”) It is proclaimed braceable.

9:07 PM Rachel/Dave (2nd)
9:32 PM Art/JJ (3rd)
11:55 PM Brendon/Rachel (4th)
7:18 AM Vanessa/Ralph (5th)

Teams must first go to a travel agent, Rickshaw Travels, and arrive in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark
2- Rachel/Dave – and Dave proclaims that he could care less about Art and JJ. (Toyouke: “Dave, probably you should worry about your relationship with Rachel instead of your relationship with Art and JJ.”)
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph

When Kentucky arrives, they find a flight that arrives in Cochin at 6:05 am. Everyone books that flight, except Vanessa and Ralph, who happen to find a better flight. (Toyouke: “Ah...another flight.”) So, teams head to the airport and fly out in the following order:

Flight 1: Kilimanjaro to Nairobi to Cochin
1) Vanessa/Ralph

Flight 2: Kilimanjaro to Dar Es Salaam to Cochin
1) Bopper/Mark
2) Rachel/Dave
3) Art/JJ
4) Brendon/Rachel

The Amazing Red and Green Lines magically transport us to India, and teams arrive in the following order:

1- Vanessa/Ralph – who stop at information for bus time tables.
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Brendon/Rachel
4- Bopper/Mark
5- Art/JJ

Teams then make their way to the bus terminal. Teams board busses to Thevara in the following order:

Bus #1
1) Rachel/Dave

Bus #2
1) Brendon/Rachel
2) Art/JJ

Bus #3
1) Vanessa/Ralph

Bus #4
1) Bopper/Mark

Teams take the bus and complain about traffic and being tall. Teams then arrive in Thevara at Sacred Heart College in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Art/JJ
3- Brendon/Rachel
4- Vanessa/Ralph
5- Bopper/Mark

We then get the eighth roadblock clue.

ROADBLOCK:

Who’s got all the right moves?

In this roadblock, one team member must don Indian clothing and learn a Bollywood dance routine and perform it for cameras to the satisfaction of the director. Once complete, they will receive their next clue.

(Toyouke: “Phil! Why aren't you dancing?!“)

The following teammates take the Roadblock:

1- Rachel B
2- JJ – because Art refused after doing the bottle dance.
3- Rachel R
4- Vanessa
5- Mark – who takes TWELVE tries. (Toyouke: “I like that Bopper is level-headed enough to want to quit before Mark hurts himself. They both seem to be willing to give the other one a lot of slack but they'll push themselves past where they should stop. And I don't think he would have DIED...but quitting the Roadblock so you don't get heat stroke is certainly better than quitting because you can't spell Franz. And good for them for having their priorities straight.”)

So, I need to take a few moments and rail on the ridiculousness of people. First off, all Art does this ENTIRE challenge is complain about how this is “a women’s challenge” and “men aren’t built to move like that.” (Toyouke: “Art. Dudes can dance like chicks. Just not JJ.”) I could have gotten that dance on take 2 easily, and last time I checked, I was male. (Toyouke: “I would have loved for a man to blow through this Roadblock...but then I think of how you would blow through it and they'd just be like "well he's gay so it doesn't count". ARGH “) Plus, I think there were lots of Indian men up there dancing the dance just fine. On top of that, Rachel R gets emotional. Shocker there. But then she blames it on “women get emotional.” No, Rachel, you get emotional. (Toyouke: “I...I can't with this crap. Rachel, you are emotional because you are a child and you suck. Not because you are a girl. I am emotional all the damn time and I have never once blamed it on being a girl. Quit trying to manipulate Brandon into feeling sorry for you and go away.”) Tell your glitter to shut up.

ANYWAY, after dancing, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Vanessa/Ralph
3- Brendon/Rachel
4- Art/JJ
5- Bopper/Mark

Teams are now instructed to take an auto rickshaw to Indian Coffee House and find the head waiter to get their next clue. Teams arrive and find the head waiter in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Vanessa/Ralph
3- Brendon/Rachel
4- Art/JJ
5- Bopper/Mark

And we get the Detour Clue.

DETOUR:
Cricket OR Clutch It
*Cricket: Teams travel to a nearby cricket stadium where each team member hits one ball bowled by a cricket pitcher past the boundary. Once complete, the coach gives them their next clue.
*Clutch It: Teams must travel to a driving school and each must complete a training course by driving an auto rickshaw. Once complete, the instructor will give them their next clue.

(Toyouke: “OK, they made Phil do the Detours. However "Cricket or Clutch It" is a pretty stupid Detour name.”)

1- Rachel/Dave choose Clutch It
2- Vanessa/Ralph choose Clutch It
3- Brendon/Rachel choose Cricket
4- Art/JJ choose Cricket – (Toyouke: “The post-production team really had fun with this episode. As shown by the Indian-flavored "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".”)
5- Bopper/Mark choose Clutch It

Teams complete the detour in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Brendon/Rachel
3- Art/JJ
4- Vanessa/Ralph
5- Bopper/Mark

Teams find now that they must make their way to Bolgatty Palace, the PIT STOP of the ninth leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated!

1- Rachel/Dave – who win a trip for two to Saint Lucia, and their fifth first place finish.
2- Brendon/Rachel
3- Art/JJ
4- Vanessa/Ralph
5- Bopper/Mark

And Bopper and Mark are so ready to go home. But then Phil tells them it’s the third nonelimination leg and they are still in the race. You can tell they are disappointed.

ORDER NOW:
1st – Rachel/Dave
2nd – Brendon/Rachel
3rd – Art/JJ
4th – Vanessa/Ralph
5th – Bopper/Mark

Next week: We stay in India. There is tiger dancing, the return of the Hair Shaving Fast Forward (Toyouke: “I will enjoy laughing at Rachel, it sounds like.”), and Vanessa pops her leg out. Until next time!

TAR20, Recap Leg 8, 4/16/12

Welcome to Leg 8! Last time, on A Whole Lot of Bickering Going On, teams raced from Baku to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. The big result of last episode was the ten minutes of unnecessary bickering that ensued. Rachel and Dave got their fourth first place finish, Nary and Jamie finished last but were not eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Arrival at the pit stop last episode:
1st – Rachel/Dave , Team Free Ron Again!
2nd – Bopper/Mark, The Kentucky Hillbillies
3rd – Art/JJ, Team Patrulla Fronteriza
4th – Brendon/Rachel, Team Sparkles
5th – Vanessa/Ralph, The Dating Divorcees
6th – Nary/Jamie, The Fembots

Simba-B Campsite, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

6:03 AM Rachel/Dave (1st)
Clue: Have your driver take you 1600 feet into the Ngorongoro Crater to Safari Junction in Karatu. Once their, teams should find Hillary Clington to get their next clue.

6:05 AM Bopper/Mark (2nd) – Bopper informs us that he hurt his knee on leg seven.
6:23 AM Art/JJ (3rd) – Art: "JJ the lion!" JJ: "Get away from me."
6:48 AM Brendon/Rachel (4th) – Rachel: “Let them drink their haterade!” (Toyouke: “Shut up Rachel. "Haterade" is not a word.”) Rachel: “I wish I could just quit the race now and stay in Africa forever.” (Toyouke: “Hey, yeah! Stay in Africa! Forever!”)
7:18 AM Vanessa/Ralph (5th)
9:21 AM Nary/Jamie (6th)

There is much oohing and aahing in the crater, but then teams make their way to Karatu and find Hillary Clington in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Bopper/Mark
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

And we get the Detour Clue.

DETOUR:
Water Supply OR Air Supply
*Water Supply: Teams must find a residence and pick up nine empty containers to take to the local fresh water supply and fill. Once they have waited for their water, they return to the residence and get their next clue.
*Air Supply: Teams must travel to a local bike shop and repair a bicycle by removing the inner tube without the tire, checking for and repairing the leak, and returning the inner tube to the bike. Once the bike could be ridden, teams would get their next clue.

(Kmanpat: “They don’t appear to be all out of love. . .”)

1- Rachel/Dave choose Air Supply
2- Bopper/Mark choose Air Supply – Bopper: “Mark’s got mechanic hands!”
3- Art/JJ choose Water Supply – (Toyouke: “While I do like that they aren't letting racers cut in line at the watering place, that is an unexpected delay. But good for the boys for using math to figure out how long it would take. And also for figuring it would take that long to get back so they should stay where they were.”)
4- Brendon/Rachel Air Supply
5- Vanessa/Ralph choose Air Supply
6- Nary/Jamie choose Air Supply

Teams complete the detour in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

Teams are now instructed to travel on foot to Jack Stelzer Pub.

CAUTION: DOUBLE U-TURN AHEAD

This is a Double U-Turn. Teams may choose to u-turn any team they wish (well, the team has to be behind them), but they may only use the U-Turn once during the race. If a team is u-turned, they must go back to the Detour choices and complete the Detour that they did not complete. This U-Turn is doubled, meaning two teams may U-Turn two other teams. This is the first double U-Turn of the Race.

1- Bopper/Mark choose not to U-Turn
2- Rachel/Dave choose not to U-Turn – which is curious, since they agreed to do so back in Bavaria.
3- Art/JJ choose to U-Turn Brendon/Rachel – because, clearly, Rachel and Dave must have not been through yet. (Toyouke: “While I don't think you are U-Turning Rachel and Brandon for the right reasons, you know that's going to backfire.”)
4- Brendon/Rachel have been U-Turned and choose to U-Turn Vanessa/Ralph
5- Vanessa/Ralph have been U-Turned
6- Nary/Jamie cannot U-Turn

So, teams continue through the U-Turn as necessary, and complete additional tasks, which causes teams to leave the U-Turn officially in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

Teams are now instructed to make their way to Gem Gallery and Arts for their next clue. Teams arrive in the following order:

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Bopper/Mark
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Nary/Jamie
6- Vanessa/Ralph

However, once they arrive, Nary and Jamie find the Speed Bump.

SPEED BUMP:

A speed bump is a task that must be performed by the last place team on a non-elimination leg. Once they complete this task, they may return to the place where the speed bump occurred and continue the leg. In this speed bump, teams must arrange artwork in a display to match a provided schematic. Once complete, teams can move on to the next task.

(Toyouke: “This Speed Bump isn't terribly complicated, but it certainly beats some previous Speed Bumps.”)

Teams complete the Speed Bump in the following order:

1- Nary/Jamie

After much arranging, they continue with the rest of the teams to the next task in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

Teams are instructed to make their way to Mto Wa Mbu and find Margaret’s Farm. Teams arrive at the farm in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

We then get the seventh roadblock clue.

ROADBLOCK:

To bee or not to bee?

In this roadblock, one team member must put on a protective bee suit and harvest 500 grams of honey from the hives. Once complete, they will receive their next clue.

The following teammates take the Roadblock:

1- Mark
2- Dave
3- Art – “I’m like Winnie the Pooh!” (Toyouke: “You aren't like Winnie the Pooh. Bears get into beehives to eat bees and larvae.”)
4- Rachel R. – “I’m like Winnie the Pooh!” (Toyouke: “OH MY GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE WINNIE THE POOH!”)
5- Ralph
6- Nary

After much honey harvesting, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:

1- Bopper/Mark
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

Teams find now that they must make their way to Lake Manyara, the PIT STOP of the eighth leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated!

1- Bopper/Mark – who win a trip for two to Hawaii.
2- Rachel/Dave
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
6- Nary/Jamie

And Nary and Jamie are last again, but this time they are eliminated. They will remain best friends!

ORDER NOW:
1st – Bopper/Mark
2nd – Rachel/Dave
3rd – Art/JJ
4th – Brendon/Rachel
5th – Vanessa/Ralph

Next week: Fighting. And Mark can’t handle Bollywood. Until next time!

11:32 PM Nary/Jamie (5th) – And we learn that Jamie was in a training accident and Nary never left her side while she recovered. Yeah, sad story usually doesn’t bode well for later.
11:35 PM Vanessa/Ralph

Everyone makes their way to the nearest travel agent in the following order:

4- Bopper/Mark – Bopper: “Ooh, free candy!”
5- Nary/Jamie
6- Vanessa/Ralph

Teams arrive and get their tickets. All teams are on the 8:30 AM flight to Kilimanjaro via Nairobi.

So the Amazing Red Line rushes us to Kilimanjaro, with a stop in Nairobi in order to chime in on the bickering that ensues. (Toyouke: “Blah, blah, blah, Rachel calls Vanessa old and then says she never said anything bad and then cries without crying. Seriously, there are no tears.”) That was unnecessary. AND the teams arrive and get taxis in the following order:

1- Art/JJ
2- Brendon/Rachel
3- Bopper/Mark
4- Rachel/Dave
5- Nary/Jamie
6- Vanessa/Ralph

1- Art/JJ
2- Brendon/Rachel
3- Rachel/Dave
4- Bopper/Mark
5- Nary/Jamie

2- Brendon/Rachel choose Courtship
3- Rachel/Dave choose Marksmanship
4- Bopper/Mark choose Courtship
5- Nary/Jamie choose Marksmanship
6- Vanessa/Ralph choose Marksmanship

Teams complete the detour in the following order:

1- Brendon/Rachel
2- Art/JJ
3- Bopper/Mark
4- Rachel/Dave
5- Nary/Jamie

1- Rachel/Dave
2- Bopper/Mark
3- Art/JJ
4- Brendon/Rachel
5- Vanessa/Ralph
