Amazing Race 20 - April 8th Episode Mess up

I Didn't Make Her Cry (Kilimanjaro, Tanzania)

Due to the channel I usually record totally skewing the start time of the episode on Sunday I only recorded the first 5 minutes of the show and got home in time to record the last 10 minutes so, I'm really sorry but I don't have a complete recap for you.  I will tell you what I saw and how they finished:

-The Teams find out they are heading to Tanzania, Africa.
-Art & JJ are sick of Big Brother following them around and vow not to let them ride their coat tails anymore.
-Art's figured out that Jamie & Nary aren't teachers - at the travel agency with Mark & Bopper and Big Brother he says they have to be in law enforcement of some kind - Jamie asked what kind of UC (under cover) operations they conduct as part of border patrol which tipped him off.
-Big Brother says it doesn't matter if they're FBI agents or police officers, they're still nicer than [Art & JJ.] Art & JJ are happy to stir the pot.
-Brendan tells Jamie and Nary that Art & JJ told them they were law enforcement and Jamie's face falls - but they tell her they don't care.
-Jamie tells the camera that the jig may be up but now they can prove their agency is better than Art & JJ's by kicking their butts.

By the previews I know that somewhere in there Art & JJ confront the ladies about their real occupation and Big Brother Rachel and Vanessa have a mean girl cat fight calling each other names and being all together nasty - Rachel calls Vanessa old and Vanessa calls Rachel ugly... I'm sure it made them both look pretty ugly.

And the last 10 minutes... Here's how they finished:
1) Blond Rach el & Major Dave - this is their 4th first place finish.
2) Mark & Bopper -  they are slowly walking it down.
3) Art & JJ - they say they are trying to minimize their involvment in the rift between the teams (oh? Dang it, I guess the fighting was major.)
4) Brendan & Rachel (Big Brother) - Phil says the game has taken a turn with nasty words being spoken back and forth - Rachel says they're not going to let anyone's negative personality affect us anymore.
5)Vanessa & Ralph - Phil says the same thing about the turn the race has taken and Vanessa says that most everybody is on the same page about the green team.  Phil asks if she wants to make up with them and she says no, she has no desire to speak with them and it's not necessary for them to be friends within this race.
6) Jamie & Nary - Last team to arrive - they say they have no regrets and they would love Phil not to eliminate them... Well, they are going to be very happy because this is a NON-ELIMINATION leg!  (I knew it!  Holiday weekend they never gas anyone.) So, Nenad Morovic, Cheryl Bennett, Roxanne Spear, Brenda Eastwood and Shane Boutillier are still in the pool for now - Nary & Jamie may come back but they will face a Speed Bump on the next leg.

Next week: They will face a double U-Turn - looks like Mark & Bopper (no!) and Big Brother (yes!) get U-Turned and the alliance of Art & JJ and Blond Rachel & Dave crashes and burns (that was inevitable, the two front running teams cannot work together forever when they all want to win.)

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend and have a great rest of your week :)
