Welcome
to Leg 11! Last time, on It’s
Always a Single Cracked Egg That Will Send You Home,
5 teams raced to Kampen, Netherlands. A surprise U-Turn pitted Nic
and Vic against Team Fun, and Team Fun’s inability to check for
cracked eggs meant they were sent to the back of the pack. Colin and
Christie pulled off their second leg win of the race, and Becca and
Floyd were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

When
they rip open the clue, teams get the eleventh roadblock.
ROADBLOCK:
Who
can’t keep a secret?
In
this roadblock, the roadblocker must march to Dover Castle in order
to to decipher a World War II code. Once they arrived at the castle,
they had to go a room and listen to a speech from Neville
Chamberlain and pick out the fifteenth, thirtieth, and fourth words
(FAITHPREVAILEVIL). They then had to translate the letters into
numbers based on alphabetical order. Under each number was a group of
three letters, which teams had to rearrange into numerical order to
reveal the final message, "The Dunkirk evacuation has begun. We
will never surrender." Once deciphered, roadblockers had to
type the message on a typewriter and deliver the message to the
brigadier general to get their next clue.
The
following teammates take the Roadblock:
1-
Leo
2-
Christie – who works with
Korey, and struggles without him. (Toyouke: “This
whole alliance thing is weirding me out, even though it involves my
favorite people.”)
3-
Victor
4-
Korey – who finishes before
Christie, but leaves her struggling. (Toyouke: OK,
don't help others when you're racing for last.”)
After
much decoding, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-
Tyler/Korey
4-
Colin/Christie
Teams
are now instructed to board their helicopter and fly to London to
Falcon London Heliport in order to make their way to Masthouse
Terrace Pier. Teams arrive at the Heliport in the following order:
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-
Tyler/Korey
4-
Colin/Christie
Teams
now run to the pier and get their next clue in the following order:
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-
Tyler/Korey
4-
Colin/Christie
Teams
are now instructed to travel by speedboat on the Thames to Savoy
Pier. Once there, teams need to make their way to Piccadilly Circus
and find the Golden Queen who has their next clue. Teams arrive at
the Savoy Pier in the following orcer.
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-

Teams
then make their way to Piccadilly Circus and find the Golden Queen in
the following order:

Leo/Jamal
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-
Tyler/Korey
4-
Colin/Christie
And
we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Know
OR Row
*Know:
Teams make their way to the Cabmen’s Shelter on Kensington Road.
Once there, they must take a cab ride and memorize the route that
they take, which includes 15 roads and 7 points of interest. If they
can perfectly recite the route to Dave Cannell, the Master of the
Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, then they receive
their next clue.
*Row:
Teams must make their way to The Serpentine Boathouse in Hyde Park,
and pick a double scull to row 200 meters in one minute. Once
successful, teams would receive their next clue.
(Toyouke:
“Jeez.
Rowing is hard but memorizing turns has got to be obnoxious.”)
1-
Leo/Jamal choose Row – but
very quickly Bald Snark to Know because of Leo’s fear of getting
wet.
2-
Nicole/Victor choose Row –
but Bald Snark to Know after an attempt and a tip over.
3-
Tyler/Korey choose Row – but
Bald Snark to Know.
4-
Colin/Christie choose Row –
and Colin rows six times. (Toyouke: “It's
not that hard to hold oars out of the water compared to doing all the
work, CHRISTIE.”)
Much
rowing and memorizing ensues. So, teams complete the detour in the
following order:
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Tyler/Korey
3-
Colin/Christie
4-
Nicole/Victor
Teams
are now instructed to make their way to the mat at Camden Market and
find Phil. They arrive in the following order:
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Tyler/Korey
3-
Colin/Christie
4-
Nicole/Victor
Phil
hands them a clue and makes them perform another task before they
check in. Teams are instructed to search Camden Market to find a
trunk with a mannequin, a lamp, a drum, a corset, a camera, purple
Go-go boots and a teakettle in the various shops and all marked with
a TAR tag. Once all the items had been found and arranged, teams
could check in at Camden
Market, the PIT STOP of the eleventh leg of this racearoundtheworld.
The last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!
1-
Leo/Jamal – who break their
eleventh leg curse. But win nothing. (Toyouke: “I
mean, whatever, but they did run a clean leg.”)
2-
Tyler/Korey
3-
Colin/Christie
4-
Nicole/Victor
And
Nicole and Victor are eliminated, leaving only Amazing Race teams
left in the running. Victor mentions that they are soulmates.
(Toyouke: “I
think it was the Bald Snarking. They were automatically behind, and
they had to hope that Colin and Christie refused to switch and
continued to fail, and also that they would magically be way better
at the other side of the Detour.”)
ORDER
NOW:
1st
– Colin/Christie
2nd
– Tyler/Korey
3rd
– Leo/Jamal
4th
– Nicole/Victor
Next
week: Final Leg in . . . Detroit? There’s bowling with a football,
and apparently large amounts of drums. Until next time!
