Welcome
to Leg 6! Last time, on The
Amazing Race Is Awesome and Good!,
8 teams made their way to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The
Reillys got lost and Rachel lost it. There were dinosaurs and tall
buildings. Team Fun ended up in first and got Phil to freestyle with
them. In the end it was Rachel and Elissa who finished last, but
were not eliminated due to the second of three randomly placed
non-elimination legs. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Once
teams arrive, they must change into appropriate clothing to enter the
mosque grounds and then up to the clue. Teams arrive at the clue box
in the following order:
1-
Nicole/Victor
2-
Tyler/Korey
3-
Colin/Christie
4-
Chris/Bret – because they
saw Nicole and Victor going up the minaret so they figured they
should follow them.
5-
Leo/Jamal
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Becca/Floyd
8-
Janelle/Britney
Teams
are now instructed to climb the minaret of the mosque and count the
number of steps (272) between two distinct marked locations. Once
teams get to the top and give the correct answer to the imam, teams
get their next clue, which they can read when they get to the bottom.
Teams arrive at the top and give the correct count in the following
order:
1-
Nicole/Victor
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Tyler/Korey – since they
knew they were going to the mosque, they researched and found the
minaret had 304 steps. So they just went to the top and gave that
number. Then they went back and counted. (Toyouke: “Oh
no, research backfired! That was such a smart thing to look up,
assuming that would be a possible task. “)
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Leo/Jamal
6-
Rachel/Elissa – who counted
wrong a few times.

And
Rachel and Elissa 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 when the non-elimination leg is not immediately
followed by the next 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, the team must follow the local laundry lady
and hand wash a load of laundry and then hang it up to dry. Once the
load is completely washed and hung, the laundry lady will allow them
to go back and get the next clue.
Teams
complete the Speed Bump in the following order:
1-
Rachel/Elissa – Rachel:
"That's
why Ugandan moms look so good, they do laundry." (Toyouke: “Are
you serious?”)
After
much laundry doing, they continue with the rest of the teams and get
their clue.
When
they rip open the clue, teams get the seventh roadblock.
ROADBLOCK:
Who
wants a rolex?
In
this roadblock, the roadblocker must shop for ingredients in the
market and then make a rolex, a Ugandan sandwich made of eggs and
vegetables rolled in bread. Once teams successfully complete and
deliver the rolex, they get their next clue.
The
following teammates take the Roadblock:
1-
Victor
2-
Korey
3-
Colin
4-
Jamal – who fails at his
first attempt. (Toyouke: “On
what planet would you roll out your dough on the hot griddle? Come
on.”)
5-
Chris
6-
Floyd
7-
Janelle – who is convinced
she is looking for a watch and completely misses the vendors and the
teams making rolex sandwiches right next to the clue box. For an
hour. (Toyouke:
“I was
going to be sympathetic, but everyone else figured out what a Rolex
was right away.”)
8-
Elissa
After
much shopping and rolex making, teams complete the Roadblock in the
following order:
1-
Nicole/Victor
2-
Tyler/Korey
3-
Colin/Christie
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Leo/Jamal
6-
Becca/Floyd
7-
Rachel/Elissa
8-
Janelle/Britney
Teams
are now instructed to take a taxi to Ggaba Landing Site on Lake
Victoria and find the village boat builders to get their next clue.
They arrive in the following order:
1-
Colin/Christie
2-
Tyler/Korey
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Leo/Jamal
6-
Becca/Floyd
7-
Rachel/Elissa
8-
Janelle/Britney
Teams
open their envelopes and we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Salty
Roll OR Move the Pole
*Salty
Roll: Teams must find a wheelbarrow of fish and take it to be
prepared in the traditional way. Meat must be salted and the skins
must be wrapped. Once teams have successfully completed the task, a
fish preserver gives them their next clue.
*Move
the Pole: Teams must chose a bicycle and load it with wood. Once
they transport it to the pile building location, teams must stack the
wood to a specific height. When the pile is the right height, the
measuring stick lady will give them their next clue.
(Toyouke:
“Hmm.
Cleaning fish doesn't seem that hard? You know what, I'm impressed
that no one is foolishly trying to ride the bicycles properly.”)
1-
Colin/Christie choose Move the Pole –
and Colin mentions that if this were Season 5, he’d have choice
words for this task by this point. (Toyouke: “It's
true. Season 5 Colin would have said something highly entertaining
and ridiculous at this point.” Kmanpat: “Hasa Diga Eebowai? Or
maybe “I’m Stacking It!”)
2-
Tyler/Korey choose Move the Pole
3-
Nicole/Victor choose Move the Pole
4-
Chris/Bret choose Move the Pole
5-
Leo/Jamal choose Move the Pole
6-
Becca/Floyd choose Move the Pole
7-
Rachel/Elissa choose Salty Roll
8-
Janelle/Britney choose Salty Roll
Much
wood carrying and fish salting ensues. So, teams complete the detour
in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Becca/Floyd
6-
Leo/Jamal
7-
Rachel/Elissa
8-
Janelle/Britney
Teams
get their clue and are instructed to make their way to Jahazi Pier
and find Phil. That’s suspicious.
Teams
arrive at Jahazi Pier in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Becca/Floyd
6-
Leo/Jamal
7-
Rachel/Elissa
8-
Janelle/Britney
Teams
arrive and find their first (read: SECOND) Head to Head!
HEAD-TO-HEAD
In
this Head to Head, teams must play each other in a logic puzzle.
There are four poles and 12 drums. When the African Drummers start
playing teams must rearrange the drums one at a time so that each
pole has one color of drum on them. Only 4 drums can be on any pole
at a time. Once a team has the puzzle solved, they take the oxtail
on the drum in the center and can check in at the Pit Stop, Jahazi
Pier.
(Toyouke:
“So it's
basically Towers of Hanoi? That you can learn as you go so a team who
has lost several times actually has an advantage? Also I'm mad that
Janelle screwed up SO badly and it won't matter one bit because
the team ahead of them will have to wait for them to show up.”)
Teams
pick one racer from each team to compete in the Head to Head in the
following order:
1)
Tyler VS Colin – GayTube
wins the match.
2)
Colin VS Victor – My Ox Is
Broken wins the match.
3)
Victor VS Chris – BBEngaged
wins the match.
4)
Bret VS Floyd – Team
Bromance wins the match.
5)
Floyd VS Leo – Team Fun wins
the match.
6)
Jamal VS Rachel –
Afghanimals win the match.
7)
Rachel VS Britney
(Toyouke:
“So what
the was the point of this? Why air this one when the last one
actually affected the standings? The only thing this Head-to-Head did
was space everyone evenly. It would have been MUCH more interesting
to see the real first Head-to-Head, where people's finishes actually
changed.”)
Teams
are now instructed to run to the mat at Jahazi Pier on Lake Victoria,
the PIT STOP of the sixth leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last
team to arrive MAY be eliminated!
1-
Tyler/Korey – who win a trip
for two to Singapore. (Toyouke: “I
find it interesting that the tack we're taking is "Individuals
are lovely" and not "Gays are not always obvious".”)
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Becca/Floyd
6-
Leo/Jamal
7-
Rachel/Elissa
8-
Janelle/Britney
And
Janelle and Britney are the last team to be defeated and are
eliminated. The four girls race to the mat together. The moms
wanted to prove that women can work together. Or something.
ORDER
NOW:
1st
– Tyler/Korey
2nd
– Colin/Christie
3rd
– Nicole/Victor
4th
– Chris/Bret
5th
– Becca/Floyd
6th
