Welcome to Leg 2! Last time, on Why Did We Insist On Doing a Cell Phone Staggered Start Again?, 11 teams started Amazing Race 33 in various cities across the USA and ended up in London! Teams had to either run around London at night, or paste a puzzle on a wall. But in the end, it was Team Cop Rock who couldn’t catch a break, and were the first team eliminated, because somehow the Twins were just that much better. Who will be eliminated. . . next?
Arrival at the pit stop last episode:
1st – Anthony and Spencer, Team Good Samaritan
2nd – Ryan and Dusty, Team Not Guilty
3rd – Raquel and Cayla, The Flight Attendants
4th – Kim and Penn, The YouTube Parents
5th – Caro and Ray, Team Long Distance Reality
6th – Akbar and Sheri, The Teacher Cagers
7th – Connie and Sam, Team Blind Side
8th – Taylor and Isaiah, Team Gay YouTube Husbands
9th – Arun and Natalia, Team Bollywood Bonding
10th – Lulu and Lala, Team iHeartTwinning
Natural History Museum, London, England, United Kingdom
7:46 AM Anthony/Spencer (1st) – who feel like the thwarting of the train attack gave them confidence.
Clue: Make your way to the Royal Mail Central Delivery and find the Mail Rail to get their next clue.
And we get all the departure times! I knew I liked the new chyrons for a reason.
7:48 AM Ryan/Dusty (2nd)
7:50 AM Raquel/Cayla (3rd)
8:03 AM Kim/Penn (4th) – who remark that they are a middle age mom and dad. We know.
8:15 AM Caro/Ray (5th)
8:17 AM Akbar/Sheri (6th)
8:30 AM Connie/Sam (7th)
8:32 AM Taylor/Isaiah (8th)
8:45 AM Arun/Natalia (9th)
9:37 AM Lulu/Lala (10th)
So teams make their way to Rail Mail. (Toyouke: “OK I love the idea of this railway especially because this train is clearly for tourists to ride around for tours.”) Teams arrive in the following order:
1- Ryan/Dusty
2- Raquel/Cayla
3- Anthony/Spencer
4- Kim/Penn
5- Caro/Ray
6- Connie/Sam
7- Arun/Natalia
8- Akbar/Sheri
9- Taylor/Isaiah
10- Lulu/Lala
When they rip open the clue, teams get the first roadblock.
ROADBLOCK:
Who still gets the mail?
In this roadblock, one team member must ride the mail rail to a station with mail carts and search one mail cart for a clue. Once they find the clue, they can ride mail rail back to their partner and open the clue.
The following teammates take the Roadblock:
1- Ryan
2- Raquel
3- Anthony
4- Penn - who is convinced the Roadblock has to be harder than just finding the envelope that says “The Amazing Race” on it.
5- Ray – who goes along with Penn’s ridiculousness. (Toyouke: “I was laughing at how Anthony spent so much time and those two found it immediately, but now I'm laughing at how they didn't believe him because they're morons.”)
6- Connie
7- Arun
8- Sheri
9- Taylor
10- Lala
After much mail sorting, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:
1- Ryan/Dusty
2- Raquel/Cayla
3- Anthony/Spencer
4- Arun/Natalia
5- Connie/Sam
6- Akbar/Sheri
7- Kim/Penn
8- Caro/Ray – who argue about Ray’s stupidity on the Detour. (Toyouke: “Ray really has no standing to be a dick about Caro pointing out how dumb he just was. You know you screwed up. You deserve to get roasted about it.”)
9- Taylor/Isaiah
10- Lulu/Lala
Teams are now instructed to take a taxi to Leicester Square to get their next clue. Teams arrive in the following order:
1- Ryan/Dusty
2- Raquel/Cayla
3- Anthony/Spencer
4- Caro/Ray
5- Arun/Natalia
6- Kim/Penn
7- Connie/Sam
8- Akbar/Sheri
9- Taylor/Isaiah
10- Lulu/Lala
Teams open their clues and we get the second Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Bullseye, Mate OR Decorate
*Bullseye, Mate: Teams make their way to Flight Club Victoria, pick up two pints of beer, and then proceed to throw rounds of darts. Each team member must get a bullseye during a round in order to get their next clue.
*Decorate: Teams make their way to Mange. Once there, teams must pick the two cakes decorated that are part of the European Union (France and Germany) out of twelve (the others are Sierra Leone, United Kingdom, South Africa, Norway, Brazil, Russia, Jamaica, Chile, Thailand and Colombia), and recreate them. They must be approved by the Master Baker in order to get their next clue.
(Toyouke: “For me it's not the bullseyes necessarily but the fact that you both have to do it in the same round. Also, flags all day.”)
1- Ryan/Dusty choose Bullseye, Mate
2- Raquel/Cayla choose Decorate
3- Anthony/Spencer choose Decorate
4- Caro/Ray choose Decorate
5- Arun/Natalia choose Bullseye, Mate
6- Kim/Penn choose Decorate
7- Connie/Sam choose Bullseye, Mate
8- Akbar/Sheri choose Decorate
9- Taylor/Isaiah choose Decorate
10- Lulu/Lala choose Decorate
Much dart throwing and cake decorating ensues. So, teams complete the detour in the following order:
1- Ryan/Dusty
2- Connie/Sam
3- Arun/Natalia
4- Raquel/Cayla
5- Anthony/Spencer
6- Kim/Penn
7- Caro/Ray
8- Akbar/Sheri
9- Taylor/Isaiah
10- Lulu/Lala
Teams are now instructed to travel to Russell Square Metro Station and find the double decker bus, the PIT STOP of the second leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated!
1- Ryan/Dusty – who win a cup of tea and the chance to keep racing! And they get their next clue and take off.
2- Connie/Sam
3- Arun/Natalia
4- Raquel/Cayla – Raquel: “Is that coffee?" (Toyouke: “Do you know anything about anything?”)
5- Kim/Penn
6- Caro/Ray
7- Anthony/Spencer
8- Akbar/Sheri
9- Taylor/Isaiah
10- Lulu/Lala
And Lulu and Lala are. . . not eliminated! This is the first of the non-elimination legs on the race, so the twins get their next clue. They can go away now.
ORDER NOW:
1st – Ryan/Dusty
2nd – Connie/Sam
3rd – Arun/Natalia
4th – Raquel/Cayla
5th – Kim/Penn
6th – Caro/Ray
7th – Anthony/Spencer
8th – Akbar/Sheri
9th – Taylor/Isaiah
10th – Lulu/Lala
Next week: Glasgow, Scotland! And manual transmission driving! (Toyouke: “Stick shift, let's go.”) And the Race gets COVID. Until next time!
