Welcome to Leg 7! Last time, on Not That Jurgen, the Other Jurgen!, 8 teams continued racing through Tirana, Albania. The Celesbians haven’t won a leg since leg 2. The Married Parents have finished first three legs in a row. The Newlyweds choose when to help or not help, which has gotten them two consecutive second place finishes. And Father-Daughter Dance is surprisingly competent. At the end of the leg, however, it was Generation Gap who finished last on the first Non-Elimination Leg, and face a penalty on the next leg. (Toyouke: “What is this weird-ass recap?”) Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Daisha/Dalton (2nd)
Conner/Garrett (3rd)
Anuar/Andrea (4th)
Erin/Javi (5th)
Ann-Marie/Riley (6th)
Ali/Joanna (7th)
Doug/Dylan (8th)
Teams book their flights and hotels in Sri Lanka and then make their way to Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza in the following order:
1- Michelle/Matt
2- Daisha/Dalton
3- Conner/Garrett
4- Anuar/Andrea
5- Erin/Javi
6- Ann-Marie/Riley
7- Ali/Joanna
8- Doug/Dylan
So, the Amazing Yellow Line takes us across Asia to Colombo, and teams arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport in the following order:
1- Michelle/Matt
2- Ann-Marie/Riley
3- Daisha/Dalton
4- Erin/Javi
5- Doug/Dylan
6- Anuar/Andrea
7- Ali/Joanna
8- Conner/Garrett
Teams now take taxis to Negombo and find Kuttiduwa Beach in the following order:
1- Ann-Marie/Riley
2- Michelle/Matt
3- Conner/Garrett
4- Ali/Joanna
5- Daisha/Dalton
6- Erin/Javi
7- Anuar/Andrea
8- Doug/Dylan
Once teams arrive at the beach, we are greeted by Phil, who reveals the Double U-Turn Vote. (Toyouke: “I guess if you're insisting on this vote, you have to have bunching. It's still dumb though.”)
This is a Blind Double U-Turn Vote. Teams may choose to U-turn any two teams they wish, but they may only get one vote for each. If a team receives the first or second most votes and is U-turned, they must complete both Detour options when they arrive.
Phil also reveals that Doug and Dylan get an automatic U-Turn as their penalty for finishing last on the non-elimination leg. (Toyouke: “I don't hate the Speed Bump being a U-Turn. The vote is still dumb.”)
1- Erin/Javi choose to U-Turn Michelle/Matt and Ali/Joanna
2- Ali/Joanna choose to U-Turn Michelle/Matt and Daisha/Dalton
3- Conner/Garrett choose to U-Turn Michelle/Matt and Daisha/Dalton
4- Daisha/Dalton choose to U-Turn Michelle/Matt and Anuar/Andrea
5- Doug/Dylan choose to U-Turn Daisha/Dalton and Anuar/Andrea
6- Anuar/Andrea choose to U-Turn Michelle/Matt and Daisha/Dalton
7- Michelle/Matt choose to U-Turn Anuar/Andrea and Ali/Joanna
8- Ann-Marie/Riley choose to U-Turn Michelle/Matt and Daisha/Dalton
So, with 6 votes, Michelle/Matt are U-Turned, and with 5 votes, Daisha/Dalton are U-Turned and both teams will have to perform both sides of the Detour when they arrive later in the leg. Phil then instructs teams to run to the clue box across the beach at Negombo Fish Market.
Teams arrive at the Negombo Fish Market clue box in the following order:
1- Michelle/Matt
2- Erin/Javi
3- Doug/Dylan
4- Conner/Garrett
5- Ann-Marie/Riley
6- Ali/Joanna
7- Daisha/Dalton
8- Anuar/Andrea
Teams open their clues and we get the fifth Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Dry Out OR Sell Out
*Dry Out: Teams make their way to the beach near the market and find the marked mats. Teams must take fish, wash them in the ocean, and then lay them out to dry. Once the fish are approved by the fishmonger, teams receive their next clue.
*Sell Out: Teams make their way into Negombo Fish Market with fish from a nearby fisherman to sell, Teams must sell 5000 rupees worth of fish. When teams return to the fisherman with the money, he gives them their next clue.
(Toyouke: “5000 rupees is about $15. No idea if that is a lot of money or not. Also, anything with money is always a big question mark where you have to depend on locals. And in general Americans don't know how to haggle. I kind of wish with challenges like this they would give them some guidelines about how much they can charge. Like a range or something.”)
1- Michelle/Matt choose Sell Out – and finish their first Detour in second, and head to Dry Out, where they are the seventh team to arrive at that detour.
2- Daisha/Dalton choose Dry Out – and finish their first Detour in seventh, and head to Sell Out, where they are the third team to arrive at that detour.
3- Conner/Garrett choose Dry Out.
4- Ali/Joanna choose Dry Out
5- Doug/Dylan choose Sell Out – and finish their first Detour in fifth, and head to Dry Out, where they are the last team to arrive at that detour.
6- Erin/Javi choose Dry Out
7- Ann-Marie/Riley choose Dry Out
8- Anuar/Andrea choose Dry Out
Much fish arranging and fish selling ensues. So, teams complete the detour in the following order:
1- Ali/Joanna
(Michelle/Matt finish Sell Out)
2- Ann-Marie/Riley – who give Michelle and Matt some tips on the challenge. (Toyouke: “I wouldn't have given them tips, but they are ahead so I guess it's not that bad? I still wouldn't have helped.”)
3- Erin/Javi
(Doug/Dylan finish Sell Out)
4- Anuar/Andrea
(Daisha/ Dalton finish Dry Out)
5- Conner/Garrett
6- Daisha/Dalton
7- Doug/Dylan
8- Michelle/Matt – (Toyouke: “OK that wasn't good, there was a TON of space on the mat. But once again the last team gets a pass on a subpar attempt.”)
Teams are now instructed to take a tuk-tuk to Negombo Bus Terminal in order to catch a bus to Colombo. (Toyouke: “I wonder how much bunching will happen at the bus terminal.”) Once they arrive in Colombo, teams are to make their way to Mada Park in order to find their next clue.
So, teams tuk-tuk to Negombo Bus Terminal where they arrive in the following order:
1- Ali/Joanna
2- Erin/Javi
3- Ann-Marie/Riley
4- Anuar/Andrea
5- Conner/Garrett
6- Daisha/Dalton

Teams board the following busses to Colombo.
Bus 1, Express
1) Ali/Joanna – but not before accidentally getting on a local and getting off.
Bus 2, Express
1) Erin/Javi – who actively try to get the bus to leave before Anuar and Andrea can get on. And then get annoyed when Anuar asks about alliances. (Toyouke: “You can politely tell him you're not interested in an alliance. It's possible.”)
2) Ann-Marie/Riley
3) Anuar/Andrea – who managed to get on the bus thanks to some very friendly locals allowing them to cut in line. (Toyouke: “I mean, why did people let them cut in line? You're already beating three teams.”)
Bus 3, Express
1) Conner/Garrett
Bus 4, Local
1) Daisha/Dalton
2) Michelle/Matt – who are so proud of themselves for leaving without Doug and Dylan. (Toyouke: “Yeah, you gotta ask when the bus arrives, not when it leaves.”)
Bus 5, Express
1) Doug/Dylan
Teams make their way to Colombo and arrive in the following order:
1- Ali/Joanna
2- Ann-Marie/Riley
3- Erin/Javi
4- Anuar/Andrea
5- Conner/Garrett
6- Doug/Dylan

3- Erin/Javi
4- Anuar/Andrea
5- Conner/Garrett
6- Doug/Dylan
7- Michelle/Matt – who ask Dylan where the clue box is and he doesn’t tell them. (Toyouke: “I wouldn't tell you either. You can't brag about how the other teams are afraid of you because you announced you're not helping anyone who U-Turned you, and then ask for help and be salty people won't help you.”)
8- Daisha/Dalton
Teams rip open the clue and arrive at the eighth roadblock.
ROADBLOCK:
Who’s
ready for a package deal?
In
this roadblock, one team member must pick up a hand cart, 30 boxes,

Teams are instructed to play tuk-tuk polo. One team member will drive the tuk-tuk while the other uses a polo mallet to hit a ball across the goal line in 60 seconds while being pursued by defenders. (Toyouke: “I think teams would have had enough trouble scoring a goal if they were the only ones on the pitch.”) Once teams complete a goal in 60 seconds, they receive their next clue. If they don’t, they must return to the end of the line for their next turn.
Much tuk-tuk polo ensues. Teams complete the challenge in the following order:
1- Ali/Joanna – on their eighth try.
2- Anuar/Andrea – on their second try.
3- Michelle/Matt – on their first try. (Toyouke: “I mean, they got it first try. You can't really argue with that. They're obnoxious, but they did it.”)
4- Conner/Garrett – on their third try.
5- Ann-Marie/Riley – on their fifth try.
6- Erin/Javi – on their seventh try.
7- Daisha/Dalton – on their third try.
