TAR23, Recap Leg 9, 11/24/13

Welcome to Leg 9! Last time, on We Only U-Turn Liars, teams raced about the UAE.  Nicole and Travis use their Express Pass, and then U-Turn the Afghanimals for lying to them.  (Toyouke: “Sigh. Less moralizing, more racing. I like them, but all is fair in reality television.”)  Leo and Jamal survive the U-Turn, but the Baseball Wives do not, after a vindictive Marie U-Turned them for their airport behavior.  Who will be eliminated. . . next?

And we get the Detour Clue.

DETOUR:
For the Elephants OR For the Birds

*For the Elephants: Teams travel to Simpang Dago Market and pick up eight watermelons, two bunches of bananas, one dozen sweet potatoes, and five stalks of sugar cane.  Once all of the items are loaded in their taksi, teams take them to the Kebun Binatang Bandung Zoo. Once there, teams must transport the food on one of the hand carts, find the elephant pen and feed the elephants to receive their next clue.
*For the Birds:  Teams travel to Kios Pak Dedi at Sukahaji Market and pick up two lovebirds.  Teams them deliver them to a bird song competition at the Sumber Sari Arena. Once there, teams had to enter the competition arena and encourage their birds to sing. Once the birds were scored, teams get their next clue from the judge.

1- Leo/Jamal choose For the Elephants 

2- Nicole/Travis choose For the Birds
3- Ally/Ashley choose For the Elephants – and decide to go to the zoo first before the market.  When they can’t figure out what’s going on, they then head to the market.  Once there, the taksi driver says they can’t take the sugar cane, and they decide to make two trips, after arguing about Bald Snarking or not.  (Toyouke: “Why did they leave without the sugar cane? I mean...I get that it doesn't really fit in the car. But were they taking the rest of the stuff to the zoo? And then...coming back for the sugar cane? It won't fit in the trunk so how does that make sense? I don't know what is happening.”)  Can we say meltdown?

4- Jason/Amy choose For the Elephants

5- Tim/Marie choose For the Elephants

Teams complete the detour in the following order:

1- Nicole/Travis
2- Leo/Jamal  
3- Jason/Amy

4- Tim/Marie   

5- Ally/Ashley

Teams are now instructed to travel to Saung Angklung Udjo, where they will get their next clue.

The teams arrive at the Udjo in the following order:

1- Nicole/Travis
2- Leo/Jamal 
3- Jason/Amy

4- Tim/Marie   

5- Ally/Ashley

And teams get the tenth roadblock clue.

ROADBLOCK:

Who has an inkling for Angklung?

In this roadblock, roadblockers must assemble a traditional Indonesian instrument known as an angklung.  Once they have the correct structure and the eight notes in order, an octave must be played in order to get the next clue.

The following teammates take the Roadblock:

1- Nicole – who struggles, because she is not musical.  Travis: "Well I would be better at this but since we're so far ahead I think it'll be safe enough for Nicole to screw it up."  And then, for all her integrity talk, tries to look at a finished object to get help.  (Toyouke: “Oh yeah, I hate how you lied to us, but you should totally let me look at your instrument so I can finish.”)  Finally, Amy takes pity and helps her.  (Toyouke: “Don't help! What are you doing?!  Jason is right. Don't do that. RACE.”)
2- Leo
3- Amy

4- Tim

5- Ashley

After much angklung assembly, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:

1- Leo/Jamal
2- Tim/Marie
3- Jason/Amy

4- Nicole/Travis  

5- Ally/Ashley

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

1- Leo/Jamal – who win $7500 each.

2- Tim/Marie
3- Jason/Amy

4- Nicole/Travis

5- Ally/Ashley

And Ally and Ashley are eliminated.  But they Afghanimals are now their life long friends!

ORDER NOW:
1st – Leo/Jamal
