TAR 27 Recap Leg 11, 12-4-15

Welcome to Leg 11! Last time, on U-Turns Are Great Fun, 5 teams continued to race through Agra, India. There were balloons. Justin and Diana U-Turned the paparazzi who managed to do both Detours and still check in before Denise and James Earl, who were eliminated. Oh, and Justin and Diana racked up their seventh win. Ugh. Someone needs to take him down a peg. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Arrival at the pit stop last episode:

1st – Justin and Diana, Team Race Proposal, #TheGreenTeam

2nd – Kelsey and Joey, Team Newscast, #TheReporters

3rd – Tiffany and Krista, Team Jet Pack, #TheCheerleaders

4th – Logan and Chris, Team Photobomb, #ThePaparazzi

At the Pit Stop, Logan and Chris remind us that they don’t like Justin and Diana for U-Turning them. Whatever, it’s a race. Although, Justin does mention that his rule of “If you U-Turn someone, make sure they go home” did backfire, so that’s something.

Shri Ramchandra Farm House, Shamsabad, Agra, India

7:40 AM Justin/Diana (1st)

Clue: Fly to Hong Kong, China! Once there, find a Peninsula Hotel Rolls Royce and travel in it to the Peninsula Hotel to get your next clue.

7:47 AM Kelsey/Joey (2nd)

8:50 AM Tiffany/Krista (3rd)

8:54 AM Logan/Chris (4th)

So teams head to the airport, and arrive in the following order:

1- Justin/Diana

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Tiffany/Krista

4- Logan/Chris

Teams get on the same flights to Hong Kong, and take the Amazing Red Line across Southeast Asia to China. Teams find their Rolls Royces in the following order:

1- Tiffany/Krista

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Justin/Diana

4- Logan/Chris

Teams travel to the Peninsula Hotel on Tsim Sha Tsui where the cluebox is waiting for them in front of the hotel. Teams get the clue in the following order:

1- Tiffany/Krista

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Justin/Diana – who somehow get turned around at the airport.

4- Logan/Chris

And we get the Detour Clue.

DETOUR:

Sam’s OR Cells

*Sam’s: Teams must travel a short distance in Tsim Sha Tsui to Sam’s Tailor to pick up suit jacket measurements. Teams then make their way to Sam’s Workshop, where they are to cut out 6 pieces for the suit correctly. Once the pieces are correct, teams are handed a completed suit to deliver back to Sam’s Tailor to get their clue.

*Cells: Teams travel to the corner of Apliu and Kweilin Streets in the neighborhood of Sham Shui Po and find a kiosk in the market with cell phones. Once there, teams must find a working cell phone and call the stored number, which will tell them to deliver the telephone to Telephone Limited in Kong Wah a short distance away to get their next clue.

1- Tiffany/Krista choose Sam’s – and picked up on the fact that they needed to fold the fabric in order to cut it correctly.

2- Kelsey/Joey choose Sam’s

3- Justin/Diana choose Cells – and actually complete Hong Kong Roulette pretty quickly, but manage to not look at where they are and get in a cab and take the cab 30 minutes before they realize that the store where they were to deliver the cell phone was within walking distance of the kiosk. (Toyouke: "You know it's bad when the Amazing Editors don't have to cut to the street sign. The cameraman just has to turn around.")

4- Logan/Chris choose Sam’s

Anyway, suits are cut, cell phones are turned on, detour ends. Team complete their tasks and get their clues in the following order:

1- Tiffany/Krista

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Logan/Chris

4- Justin/Diana

Teams are instructed to travel to the Macau Ferry Terminal in the Sheung Wan neighborhood on Hong Kong Island to catch a Turbojet ferry Premiere Class seat to Macau. Once there, teams are instructed to head to the City of Dreams Hotel Complex and find the House of Dancing Water, where Jago would give them their next clue.

So teams make their way to the Turbojet Ferry Terminal on Hong Kong Island in the following order:

1- Tiffany/Krista

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Logan/Chris

4- Justin/Diana – who actually never make it to Hong Kong Island, and instead take the Macau Ferry from Kowloon, even though Premiere seats can only be purchased on ferries from Hong Kong Island. (Toyouke: "'Oh I've seen every episode of this show three times' shut up Justin. Anyone who has actually watched the show that many times should have picked up on that.")

So the first three teams were on the Turbojet from Hong Kong, Justin and Diana were on a Turbojet from Kowloon, and teams all arrived in Macau in the following order:

1- Kelsey/Joey

2- Tiffany/Krista

3- Logan/Chris

4- Justin/Diana

Teams now make their way to the House of Dancing Water and find their clue in the following order:

1- Kelsey/Joey

2- Tiffany/Krista

3- Logan/Chris

4- Justin/Diana – after getting dropped off on the wrong side of the complex and have to run across the whole thing to the clue box.

And teams get the envelope with the eleventh roadblock clue.

ROADBLOCK:

Who wants to rise to the occasion?

In this roadblock, one team member must get into costume and participate in a performance in the House of Dancing Water. Roadblockers must jump into the water from a 30 foot platform and then swim under the water to find a gold fish attached to the bottom of the pool. Once roadblockers have the fish, they deliver it to the fisherman to get their clue. The task must be completed before the music ends, or they must wait for the twenty minute show to restart to try again.

The following teammates take the Roadblock:

1- Kelsey – who gets it on the first try.
2- Krista – who struggles seeing underwater and takes five tries. (Toyouke: "No one else had this much trouble with it. So what was happening?")
3- Logan – who gets it on the first try.

4- Diana – who misses a performance while getting into makeup, and then gets it on her first try.

After much diving and fish retrieving, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:

1- Logan/Chris

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Justin/Diana

4- Tiffany/Krista

Teams are now instructed to take a cab to Centro Nautico de Praia Grande at Nam Van Lake, the PIT STOP of the eleventh leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!

1- Logan/Chris – who win a trip for two to Peru.

2- Kelsey/Joey

3- Justin/Diana – who find out they have a 30 minute penalty for getting the wrong tickets on the ferry, and an additional 25 minute penalty for travel time that they saved by going to the wrong ferry terminal. (Toyouke: "SO SATISFYING")

4- Tiffany/Krista

And time is ticking down. . .but Justin and Diana get checked in minutes before Tiffany and Krista show up, and the cheerleaders are eliminated. UGH.

ORDER NOW:

1st – Logan/Chris

2nd – Kelsey/Joey

3rd – Justin/Diana

Next week: Final Leg in New York City! Firefighters! Dune Buggies! Horses! And we’ll have a winner, for better or worse. Until next time!
