Welcome to Leg 4! Last time, on At Least the Airport Drama Was Interesting, teams raced from Japan
to Phuket. Plane tickets were hard to come by, and Harley and Jonathan ended up
half a day behind everyone else. Well they would have been, if the other teams
hadn’t found HoH and a bed and breakfast waiting for them. After ziplining with
food, teams dressed up for a drag show. Cue a LOT of overcompensating
complaining from some of the men, especially Tyler. At the Pit Stop, Matt
proposed to Ashley in front of pretty much everyone. Harley and Jonathan did
end up in last, but were saved by the first non-elimination leg. Who will be
eliminated. . . next? (click for more)
Toyouke here, because Kmanpat is on his way to Spain. So there’ll
be slightly more yelling. Mainly yelling about how gimmicks are stupid, because
I am tired of YDCs. Just like how on Survivor Jeff yelled at someone for not
fitting in to his stupid tribes that he made up. They were your stupid idea,
Jeff. You put Nina in that tribe so don’t blame her for not fitting in. Anyway…shut
up gimmick seasons.

Baba
Nest Rooftop Bar, Phuket, Thailand
3:26 AM Mike/Rochelle
(1st)
Clue: Fly to Bangkok, Thailand! When you land, make your way to
the temple Wat Yannawa.
3:51 AM Hayley/Blair
(2nd) – Hayley continues to snipe at Blair for not listening to her
yesterday. Shut up, Hayley. Blair’s plan is to let her be in charge and take
responsibility for everything.
3:52 AM Jelani/Jenny
(3rd)
3:54 AM Laura/Tyler
(4th) – Laura says she likes Tyler and he’s cute, but “romance” and
such takes time. So I guess that means she’s not into it.
3:58 AM Aly/Steve
(5th)
4:01 AM Matt/Ashley
(6th) – who remind us about how they’re engaged and got a date night
from Bergen and Kurt. They sit on the beach and watch some fire dancers and
drink champagne. It looks like a nice date.
4:02 AM Bergen/Kurt
(7th)
4:03 AM Jeff/Jackie
(8th)
7:01 AM
Harley/Jonathan (9th)
Everyone heads straight for the airport to try to make a 6 AM
flight. We don’t see anyone else get tickets for this flight…but they do show
shots of all the teams getting on the flight except for Harley and Jonathan. Teams
get their flights in the following order:
Flight
1, Air Asia, departs 6 AM:
1)
Mike/Rochelle
2) Hayley/Blair
3) Jelani/Jenny
4)
Laura/Tyler
5)
Aly/Steve
6)
Matt/Ashley
7)
Bergen/Kurt
8)
Jeff/Jackie
Flight 2
1) Harley/Jonathan
Teams get cabs and leave the airport, but we aren’t shown what
order they leave in. We do see that Jelani tries stealing a cab from Jeff and
Jackie, or at least they both try to take the same cab and Jelani blinks first.
He complains that he was there first and he doesn’t want to give up a cab in a
race. Jenny feels the time wasted in the argument, while at the airport where
there are a million taxis, is not worth it.
Teams arrive at Wat Yannawa in the following order:
1- Laura/Tyler
2- Hayley/Blair
– Blair tries to use his strategy of “force Hayley to make all the
decisions” but Hayley is so passive-aggressive she just says “I feel like
whatever I decide you won’t listen so I don’t want to decide”. Then after she
says he’s in charge she tells him not to look over there because they already
looked over there. Shut up, Hayley.
3- Aly/Steve
4- Matt/Ashley
5- Jeff/Jackie
6- Mike/Rochelle
7- Bergen/Kurt
8- Jelani/Jenny
– they had a slow driver. Who took them to one of the Detour
options first.
9- Harley/Jonathan
Once Harley and Jonathan arrive they find their 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 make a traditional Thai
grasshopper with river reeds. Once they complete the grasshopper, they may
continue racing.
Teams complete the Speed Bump
in the following order:
1- Harley/Jonathan
After much folding, they continue with the rest of the teams in
getting the detour clue.
And we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Wheel OR
Water
*Wheel:
Teams take a tuk-tuk around the city, making two stops. First stop forces them
to play snooker and sink a red ball in a pocket. The second stop asks teams to
feed cats. If they survive, they will receive their next clue.
*Water:
Teams take a water taxi around the city, making two stops. The first stop asks
each team member to eat a thousand-year-old egg. The second stop asks them to
go to a temple and make a traditional offering. If they survive, they will
receive their next clue.
Street traffic ends up sucking. Also the Water teams get a plaque
with detailed instructions after the first stop, while Wheel teams get…a bottle
of milk with the name of a café on it. The Caturday Café. Sigh.
1- Laura/Tyler
choose Water
2- Matt/Ashley
choose Water – however they stop and eat an egg at a random stall first. Womp womp.
3- Aly/Steve
choose Water
4- Jeff/Jackie
choose Water – but fall behind on the way. They discover there are only five
water taxis, so they are forced to Bald Snark to Wheel.
5- Mike/Rochelle
choose Water
6- Bergen/Kurt
choose Water– they strike a deal with Mike and Rochelle to work together to
find the place.
7- Hayley/Blair
choose Water – after wandering around for forever. They are also forced to Bald
Snark to Wheel. Meanwhile Hayley is her usual delightful self.
8- Jelani/Jenny
choose Wheel – at least they know they aren’t last. Jenny doesn’t want to run
everywhere, but Jelani does. They’re starting to break down.
9- Harley/Jonathan
choose Wheel
Teams complete the detour in the following order:
1- Laura/Tyler
2- Bergen/Kurt
– they get fortunes about mates, and Kurt lets us know they’ve
officially decided they aren’t right for each other. Aww.
3- Matt/Ashley
4- Aly/Steve
5- Mike/Rochelle
6- Hayley/Blair
7- Jeff/Jackie
8- Jelani/Jenny
– Jenny is “deathly scared” of cats. Uh…sure.
9- Harley/Jonathan
– Jonathan is allergic to cats.
Teams are now instructed to make their way to Patumwan Siang Gong
and search for their next clue. Teams arrive in the following order:
1- Laura/Tyler
2- Bergen/Kurt
3- Aly/Steve
4- Matt/Ashley
5- Hayley/Blair
6- Jeff/Jackie
7- Jelani/Jenny
8- Mike/Rochelle
- I have no idea where they’ve been. No one ever says how they
fell three places.
9- Harley/Jonathan
Once they arrive, teams get the Roadblock clue.
ROADBLOCK:
Who’s feeling
clutch?
In this
roadblock, roadblockers must remove the transmission from a faulty engine
block, and then search for a screwdriver left behind by a mechanic. Their next
clue is in the handle of the screwdriver.
The following teammates take the Roadblock:
1- Tyler
– his whole family works on cars, although he himself has no idea
what he’s doing.
2- Bergen
3- Steve
4- Matt
5- Blair
6- Jeff
7- Jelani
8- Rochelle
9- Jonathan
After many power tools (but no real “searching”; the screwdriver
is inside the transmission), teams finish the Roadblock in the following order:
1- Laura/Tyler
– they also find the Date Night, a dinner cruise.
2- Aly/Steve
3- Matt/Ashley
4- Bergen/Kurt
5- Hayley/Blair
6- Mike/Rochelle
– yeah! Girl power!
7- Jeff/Jackie
8- Jelani/Jenny
9- Harley/Jonathan
Teams now find a cloth that says “METAL PALACE”. They will have to
figure out that they must go to Loha Prasat, the PIT STOP of the fourth leg of
this racearoundtheworld. The last team
to arrive may be eliminated!
1- Bergen/Kurt
– Bergen jokes about being first and freaks out when he actually is
first. Hee. They win a trip to Puerto Vallarta.
2- Hayley/Blair
3- Aly/Steve
– who are told they can walk. They eventually get a taxi to the
right place.
4- Laura/Tyler
– who are taken to the Metro first.
5- Jeff/Jackie
6- Mike/Rochelle
7- Jelani/Jenny
– as they wander with Matt and Ashley, Jenny wants to ditch them and
get a cab without them noticing. Jelani hollers to the other team that they
should get a cab, so Jenny yells at him and then they get a tuk-tuk anyway.
Matt calls her a bitch, but, RACE. Alliances are terrible. Also this plan was
to get a tuk-tuk, get away from Matt and Ashley, and then figure out where to go, which is maybe a terrible plan.
8- Matt/Ashley
– who spend 90 minutes wandering around near the auto shop before
figuring it out, which is how Jelani and Jenny caught up. Ashley trips as they
chase Jelani and Jenny, for the final indignity.
9- Harley/Jonathan
And Harley and Jonathan are eliminated. Boo. I actually liked
them. They are super cute on the mat though.
ORDER
NOW:
1st – Bergen/Kurt
2nd – Hayley/Blair
3rd – Aly/Steve
4th – Laura/Tyler
5th – Jeff/Jackie
6th – Mike/Rochelle
7th – Jelani/Jenny
8th – Matt/Ashley
Next week: The Race travels to…somewhere, and people argue. Until next time! JK not next week! April 3rd!
Sigh.
