Welcome to Leg 4! Last time, on Adventures in New Zealand, teams raced from French Polynesia to New
Zealand. Dave popped his Achilles and
just kept racing. Chuck and Wynona end
up in last, but Dave and Connor log their first first place finish, and are told
to keep racing. Who will be eliminated. . . next?

(1st) – (Toyouke: “See, they didn't even
pretend they weren't continuing.”)
Clue: Fly 4000 miles to Bail, Indonesia! Once there, make your way to Monkey Forest to
have a monkey reveal your next clue.
Jessica/John

(3rd)
Pam/Winnie
(4th)
Joey/Meghan
(5th)
Caroline/Jennifer
(6th)
Mona/Beth
(7th)
Max/Katie
(8th)
Chuck/Wynona
(9th)
Teams find out that they need to book their flight before they
head to the airport (Toyouke: “Can you not buy
tickets at the airport in New Zealand?
That would be a thing to research if you
ever go on the race. Imagine the time you could save.”) and arrive at the travel agency in the
following order:
1- Dave/Connor
2- Caroline/Jennifer
3- Max/Katie
– who actually called ahead to get their flight, so they really
needed to just stop by and pick up the tickets.
4-
Joey/Meghan
5- Jessica/John
6- Mona/Beth
7- Chuck/Wynona
8- Bates/Anthony
9-
Pam/Winnie – who actually bypassed the travel agent all together by booking
their flights online.
Teams now make their way to Bali on the following flights:
Flight
1, via Perth, arrives 8:30 AM
1) Max/Katie
2) Dave/Connor
3)
Pam/Winnie
4)
Caroline/Jennifer
Flight
2, via Kuala Lumpur, arrives 12:05 PM
1) Mona/Beth
2) Bates/Anthony
3) Chuck/Wynona
Flight 3,
via Singapore, arrives 12:05 PM
1) Joey/Meghan
2) Jessica/John
Somehow, when Youtube and Cocky got to Singapore, they were able
to get a better flight. So, teams arrive
in Bali in the following order:
1- Pam/Winnie
2- Dave/Connor
3- Max/Katie
4- Caroline/Jennifer - who finally sing their country
songs to a taksi driver. (Toyouke: “I do not need country singing.”)
5- Jessica/John
6- Joey/Meghan
7- Bates/Anthony
– who apparently pick the stupid cab driver.
8- Mona/Beth
9- Chuck/Wynona
Teams no make their way to the Monkey Forest in the following
order:
1- Pam/Winnie
2- Dave/Connor
3- Caroline/Jennifer
– Jennifer: “I’ve always wanted a monkey!” Caroline: “Yes, but your flying squirrel died
in your bra due to loneliness.”
4- Max/Katie
5- Jessica/John
6- Joey/Meghan
7- Mona/Beth
8- Chuck/Wynona
9- Bates/Anthony
Teams choose coconuts and get the monkeys to open them in the
following order:
(Toyouke: “Why are monkeys involved
in this? This seems annoying.”)
1- Dave/Connor
2- Max/Katie – Max:
“It’s like they scratch their butt and then take a drink, like me in the
morning!”
3- Pam/Winnie
4- Caroline/Jennifer
5- Jessica/John – who
get lost on the way to the Detour, and visit a random person’s house.
6- Joey/Meghan
7- Chuck/Wynona
8- Mona/Beth
9- Bates/Anthony – who
decide their detour based on where their taxi driver can get them.
And we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Sandy
Bottom OR Fruity Top
*Sandy
Bottom: Teams must dredge volcanic sand
from the bottom of the Ayung River, place the sand into baskets atop their
heads, then transport it 200 yards uphill to empty their baskets into a larger
container. Once they filled their container to a designated line, the brick
maker will give them their next clue.
*Fruity
Top: Teams must, after donning sarongs, prepare a traditional Balinese
religious offering known as a gebogan made from various arranged fruits. Teams
then carry it in a procession to the Pura Desa Puseh Temple in Batuan where it
would be blessed before it would be placed on an altar. Once complete, the
local priest would give them their next clue.
(Toyouke: “This Detour seems really
lopsided. Building fruit seems like it would take forever.”)
1-
Dave/Connor choose Fruity Top – (Toyouke: “Wait, I know Dave and Connor took the easy one because
Dave can't run around. But why wouldn't two fit people choose a Detour where
you're only limited by how fast you can run?”)
2- Max/Katie
choose Fruity Top
3- Pam/Winnie
choose Fruity Top
4- Caroline/Jennifer
choose Fruity Top
5- Joey/Meghan
choose Fruity Top
6- Jessica/John
choose Fruity Top – who realize they are having a hard time after John suggests
that he pays really close attention to detail (Toyouke: “John, there is no way I am going to believe you are
anal-retentive when you don't notice things like a parking brake or an address or
a supposed task location with no cameras and no one speaking English.”),
and Bald Snark to Sandy Bottom. This is after they do some random craft project for a random local. Jessica:
“Maybe we should use the Express Pass.”
John: “No, we’ll be fine.”
7- Mona/Beth
choose Sandy Bottom
8- Chuck/Wynona
choose Fruity Top
9- Bates/Anthony
choose Fruity Top
Teams complete the detour in the following order:
1- Pam/Winnie
2- Dave/Connor
3- Max/Katie
4- Caroline/Jennifer
5- Joey/Meghan
6- Mona/Beth – Beth:
“There’s no crying on the Amazing Race!”
7- Chuck/Wynona
8- Bates/Anthony
9- Jessica/John
Teams are now instructed to make their way to Uluwatu Surf Beach
to find their next clue. Teams arrive in
the following order:
1- Pam/Winnie
2- Dave/Connor
3- Max/Katie
4- Caroline/Jennifer
5- Joey/Meghan
6- Mona/Beth
7- Chuck/Wynona
8- Bates/Anthony
9- Jessica/John –
Jessica: “All the other players are here!”
John: “That’s obviously disappointing!”
And once they arrive, teams get the fifth roadblock clue.
ROADBLOCK:
Who’s
ready to get totally tubular and be worked in a way-gnarly challenge?
In this
roadblock, roadblockers must run to Ketut’s Surf Shop and search for a
surfboard with a picture of the priest that blessed them in Bora Bora. Once they have the surfboard, they can find
their partner and run to the pit stop.
The following teammates take the Roadblock:
1- Winnie
2- Connor – who
looks at Winnie’s surfboard to get the right answer.
3- Max
4- Caroline
5- Chuck
6- Joey
7- Mona
8- Bates
9- John
After much surfboard finding and running about the stairs at the
beach, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:
1-
Dave/Connor
2- Pam/Winnie
3- Max/Katie
4-
Caroline/Jennifer
5- Joey/Meghan
6- Mona/Beth
7- Bates/Anthony
8- Chuck/Wynona
9- John/Jessica
Teams find now that they must run to the mat at Uluwatu Surf Beach,
the PIT STOP of the fourth leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!
1-
Dave/Connor – who win $5000 each. That’ll
pay the medical bills.
2- Pam/Winnie
3- Max/Katie
4- Caroline/Jennifer
5- Joey/Meghan
6- Mona/Beth
7- Bates/Anthony
8- Chuck/Wynona
9- John/Jessica
And John takes an hour and a half on the Roadblock. Which means they are last. And they never used the Express Pass. (Toyouke: “Being
eliminated when you have an Express Pass is like being voted out on Survivor
when you have an Immunity Idol in your pocket. You look like an idiot and
people like me who revel in schadenfreude love it.”) John: “I
don’t need a million dollars. I have no
regrets!” Phil: “OK. . . “
ORDER
NOW:
1st –
Dave/Connor
2nd – Pam/Winnie
3rd – Max/Katie
4th – Caroline/Jennifer
5th –
Joey/Meghan
6th – Mona/Beth
7th – Bates/Anthony
8th – Chuck/Wynona
Next week: We’re off to Vietnam, and Dave is still crutching his
way across the globe. And the Double
U-Turn fights to stymie two teams. Until
next time!
