The Great Amazing Nasty Race
Last week Truck Stop Love shocked us all by coming in first, Hairstylists Matt & Ashley got engaged and NKOTB Jonathan & Harley were saved by a non-elimination leg.
This week the teams headed to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok - and once there they had to make their way to the Buddhist temple Wat Yannawa. Mike & Rochelle head out at 3:26am, they've been working well together and think the blind date couples are not dealing with the stresses of this race as well.
-Hayley & Blair, 3:51am - and she is already picking at him in the cab - complaining that he just runs around too much instead of listening to her and thinking things through - Blair tells us that he's sick of being blamed for everything so he's going to sit back and let her make the decisions this leg.
-Jenny & Jelani, 3:52am - she's in full on Type-A panic mode now that they are not in first place and he feels like he has to step it up to meet her intensity (no dude, you need to stay mellow to balance the crazy)
-Laura & Tyler, 3:54am - they're enjoying the race together, she thinks he's smart and good looking but romantically, these things take time.
-Steve & Aly, 3:58am - newly engaged Matt & Ashley, 4:01am - Bergen & Kurt, 4:02am - Jeff & Jackie, 4:03am (this team may be a match, he says they have very similar personalities and she says he fits everything she was looking for.)
-All the teams head out together on the 6am flight - except Jonathan & Harley, who we still haven't seen yet.
Bangkok - All the teams run for taxis and Jelani opens the back door to get into a cab but Jackie & Jeff are already putting their bags in the trunk - Jenny realizes and grabs another cab but Jelani wanted to stake claim to the first one - The Legal Team has words - she didn't want to waste time arguing over a cab when there were ten more around and he thinks the other team is way ahead because they got that taxi (see, stepping up isn't going to work for you Jelani.)
Finally, we see Harley & Jonathan heading out from Phuket at 7:01am - so they're way behind and they will have a Speed Bump this leg... I'm just going to tell you - they don't catch up.
Bangkok - they are all commenting on how busy the city is, tons of traffic and Jenny wishes her cab driver didn't stay in the slowest lane (oh, she's going to be a treat this leg.)
-Tyler & Laura make it to the temple first and find the clue upstairs - DETOUR - Water or Wheel
Wheel - they must choose a tuk-tuk to help them weave through traffic or,
Water - choose a long tail - a water taxi that utilizes the city's elaborate river system.
Depending on which mode of transport they choose, they will have to make two stops along the way before they get their next clue.
Tyler & Laura decide to do Water and take off on foot for the pier.
-Hayley & Blair get to the temple and he says she can lead the way but she passive-aggressively says she doesn't think he'll listen to her so whatever he wants to do... so he starts heading one way and she says, "No, let's go this way though." (OMG! I cannot handle this chick. Yes, Blair is not the greatest partner, but she is unbearable.) They wander off looking for the clue in all the wrong places.
-The rest of the teams start arriving - Olympians Steve & Aly and Engaged Matt & Ashley head up the stairs and find the clue right away, they confer and both teams decide to do Water.
-Jackie & Jeff, Mike & Rochelle, Bergen & Kurt - they all decide to head for Water.
-Blair & Hayley are still wandering the grounds and she's finally realizing they haven't seen any other teams... (these two better get it together or they're doomed... who am I kidding, I think they're doomed anyway.)
Water - Laura & Tyler get to the boats and they're really cool - long and skinny with a fabric cover - it seems a waste that only one team goes per boat, there is room for more... but when Hayley & Blair finally find the clue and head for Water - we find out there are only five boats and Blair & Hayley are team #6... right away she's nagging at him that they have to go and he's trying to ask the boat guy for directions to the Wheel place but she's nattering that he's wasting time (By getting directions? Didn't you just wander around forever and end up behind everyone? Sheesh.)
-As Hayley & Blair head back up to the street, Jackie & Jeff run into them and then Jenny & Jelani jump out of their cab to ask where the clue is at the temple ... they still have to go to the temple, so they take off running Jenny blaming Jelani and he's back to, "Whatever you say, dear."
-Jackie & Jeff take off running and Blair is right behind them but again, bringing up the rear is Hayley yelling at Blair that they don't even know where they're going and she wants to get their own directions (I'm ready for this blind date to be over and I'm just suffering through it from my couch.)
-Jeff & Jackie get to the tuk-tuks (hey, look at that) and Hayley & Blair are right behind them - once the little vehicles get into traffic, Hayley is freaking out a little (just be quiet, for one minute.)
-Jenny & Jelani get to clue at the temple and she knows at this point they have to do Wheel.
Water - Tyler & Laura say the boat ride was so nice, there was no traffic and they knew the driver knew where he was going...
Wheel - they are standing still in traffic.
We get a little more background on team Kurt & Bergen - Kurt apparently is from a well-off background and doesn't really need the money (thus him being there for love) but Bergen does need the money and he hopes that Kurt will take that into consideration.
First stop for Water is the market, where they will have to eat a thousand year old egg (oh hell no!) The shells are pink but the egg inside is black... so gross, but a delicacy there. We see a lot of gagging to get those things down.
First stop for Wheel is the Snooker club where they have to sink a red ball... any red ball, in any pocket... but that's easier said than done.
Water -Tyler keeps describing the egg; it's kind of like a jello shot, but an egg, slightly rotten ... and Laura is waving at him to stop or it's coming back up... They finally get the eggs down and get their next destination - a temple where they must have an apprentice help them through making traditional offerings.
-Matt & Ashley stop at a vendor that has regular eggs, and they try to bolt them down - Ashley struggled but when they didn't get a clue they realized those weren't the right eggs (oh, just you wait.)
-Bergen & Kurt, they are doing a little dance trying to get those eggs down. But they make it and get the next clue.
-Matt & Ashley, 2nd round of gross eggs are even worse - I can't watch her gag (gah!)
Jenny & Jelani are second to last because Jonathan & Harley are running their own race at this point - Jenny hates being in the bottom.
-And we see Jonathan & Harley, a good 2 hours behind everyone, but they're still hoping they can catch up. (Nope.)
-Back at the market, TruckStopLove and SochiLove are next to try the eggs after Matt & Ashley get their clue. All the teams so far concur that those eggs were disgusting but they all got them down and got their clues.
Snooker - Jeff sinks a red ball and Hayley sinks the ball for them - Blair gives her props for making a great shot but she's got to ruin it by saying, "When I get angry, I perform better." (Just stop talking.) Their next clues are a small bottle of milk that says the Caturday Cafe (aahhhh, it's the kitty cafe).
Water Detour - 2nd stop - Traditional Thai Prayer - Laura & Tyler are the first to the temple, and making sure not to step on any of the dogs lying around, they lit candles, held some incense, put some gold leaf on a statue and then shook out their fortune (container of sticks they had to shake until one came out, the number of that stick corresponded with a fortune) L & T got good luck fortunes which they showed to the monk who then gave them their next clue - to make their way by taxi to the next destination and look for their next clue.
-Harley & Jonathan get to the temple and find their Speed Bump - (Uh, that just seems cruel at this point) - they have to make a traditional Thai grasshopper made completely with river reeds (are you kidding, that thing was elaborate!)
Water Detour - the rest of the teams start showing up at the temple to do the traditional prayer.
-Jonathan & Harley are assembling the grasshopper - it's mostly done for them, they just have to stick in some finishing touches - I wonder if they dumbed it down because they're hooped.
-Water Detour teams are all leaving the temple for the next destination.
-Jenny & Jelani are looking for the Snooker club, he's running and she's nagging at him to stop running, they're over-exerting themselves, they should take it slow - He finally stops to wait for her and she gives him an earful about rushing ahead of her when they should be discussing where they're going. (Oy.) He's hoping their communication problems aren't their fatal flaw.
-Once at the Snooker place - Jenny looks like she's never tried to hit a pool ball before - Jelani, this is all on you, dude.
-Wheel Detour 2nd Stop- Caturday Cafe - Hayley & Blair are first at the cat cafe, they have to put the milk they got into a dish and have the cats drink it to get their next clue. (Well, that was easy.)
-Jeff & Jackie get there as Blair & Hayley are leaving - Jackie loves animals, she wants to just sit and love all the kitties - Jeff drags her out of there.
-Jonathan & Harley finally get their grasshoppers together and they have to do the Wheel Detour.
-Snooker - Jelani finally sinks a red ball and we find out that Jenny is deathly afraid of cats (seriously? She's rapidly becoming my least favourite behind Hayley.)
-ROADBLOCK - Tyler & Laura are the first team to the Roadblock clue: Who's feeling clutch? They are in the recycling of old engines district - one person will have to remove the transmission block from an engine and retrieve a screwdriver left inside - inside the handle of the screwdriver is their next clue. (Metal Castle)
-Tyler is doing this one - he says his whole family works on cars, though he's never done it before... but he figures it out pretty quickly.
- Jonathan & Harley are heading for the Snooker place.
-Cat Cafe - Jenny is freaking out, trying to remain still and not touch any of the cats (those cats were so CUTE!) Jelani pours the milk while she cowers against the wall (luckily they don't really have to interact with the cats, though I wish one had jumped on her lap... because I'm evil that way.)
Roadblock - Tyler gets the clue to the head to the Metal Castle - they have to figure out that the Metal Castle is a Buddhist temple called Loha Prasat - it has 37 metal spires symbolizing the 37 virtues of enlightenment in Buddhism... and it's the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race.
-Tyler & Laura jump in a cab and he knows what the Metal Castle is... and we find out that Laura & Tyler also got the Date Night in their clue... a dinner cruise (ooh, fancy.)
Roadblock - the rest of the teams start to arrive - Bergen and Steve are working the engines and we find out that Steve is Kurt's type when he tells Aly that he is definitely a "fine piece of *ss" (ew) but she agrees (ha!) Matt and Blair join the boys... none of whom really know what they're doing.
-Steve is the first one to get the screwdriver, but the cab driver they asked didn't know the Metal Castle (Uh oh.)
-Matt is next to get the clue and they take off running like chickens with their heads cut off.
-Jeff joins the brigade of men trying to be mechanics, at least he knows what a transmission is, he says.
-Steve & Aly ask at a local shop where Metal Castle is and the lady gives them directions and tells them they can walk there... they take off running (good thing these two are in awesome shape, cause everyone else is taking a taxi.)
-Tyler & Laura's cab driver took them to the Metro... oh no! They ask a lady there and she directs them to the temple - back in a taxi they go.
-Bergen and then Blair get the screwdriver and the clue Metal Castle - and we see Matt & Ashley run by again yelling, "Metal Castle?" hoping some random local will tell them where to go.
-Both Blair & Hayley and Bergen & Kurt are able to find locals that tell them they need to go to Loha Pasat. They take off in taxis.
-Matt & Ashley still have no idea and wonder where the Olympians went... speaking of - they don't see no stinking castle and ask another person who hails them a cab and sends them on their way to Loha Pasat - Aly's really worried they screwed this up.
Snooker - Jonathan isn't much of a pool player but the NKOTB always have a pool table in their dressing room and he watches them play - so he knows you just have to give it a slow tap... and he sinks a red ball.
Roadblock - Jeff is still struggling with the engine when Jelani and Rochelle show up to work on engines (how the heck did Jenny & Jelani get ahead of Mike & Rochelle? I guess the cat cafe took less time than the Thai prayer?)
But I digress, the real story here is that Rochelle KILLED this Roadblock - she says she knows nothing about cars, can't even change a tire... she even asked Jeff what part was the transmission - then she gets the pneumatic drill, takes off the transmission and leaves before Jeff & Jelani know what hit them (HA! Team Rochelle! She rocked it.) Jelani, "I got beat by a girl." Jeff, "She didn't even know what a transmission was." (LOL) Jenny, "Our boys need to step it up."
-Jeff finally gets his clue and Jenny & Jelani are 2nd to last again.
-Caturday Cafe - Jonathan is very allergic to cats - and even he enjoyed the cat cafe more then Jenny - though he was chanting, "Don't pet the cats."
-Roadblock - Jelani finally gets the clue. Matt & Ashley are still milling about, Jeff & Jackie know the Pit Stop is not going to be in that neighbourhood so they go looking for someone to ask about the Metal Castle. Mike & Rochelle and Jeff & Jackie both get Loha Pasat and jump in cabs.
-Matt & Ashley glom on to Jenny & Jelani as they are now the last two teams there - Jenny goes and asks at the same business where the Olympians were steered wrong - she at least tells them it's a temple.
-Jonathan is working on the engine... they haven't seen any teams.
-Jenny pulls Jelani aside and whispers that they have to jump in a cab the first chance they get... Jelani asks Matt & Ashley, "Should we get in a taxi?" and Jenny snaps, "Why are you telling them? What's wrong with you?" Then they totally ditch Matt & Ashley. (Jenny is definitely not there to make friends.)
-Jelani gives her crap, being 5 minutes ahead of them at the Pit Stop is not a big deal and they may have needed them later in the Race. She argues back that them getting into a tuk-tuk is no different than them in a foot race to the Pit Stop... "Everyday, it's a fight on the Amazing Race." (You're lawyers, does that surprise you?)
-Jonathan gets the transmission off and they need to find the Metal Castle.
Here's How They Finished:
1) Bergen & Kurt - Are we team # 1? Just kidding... Phil, "You ARE team #1!" They won a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta (I wonder how they'll split that since they both keep telling us they are not a love match.)
2) Hayley & Blair - Blair says they've been at each others throats too much so they're going to look around and enjoy the race more.
3) Steve & Aly - she said they decided to run a couple miles first.
4) Laura & Tyler - that stung - Laura whines that they had such a lead, "If you're not first, you're last." (well, not quite.)
5) Jeff & Jackie
6) Mike & Rochelle - Phil gives Rochelle props for crushing the Roadblock.
7) Jenny & Jelani - Phil feels the wall of tension as Jenny flings off her backpack, but Jelani is very composed and says they're bound to fight because they are trying to do their best and win. (Blah blah)
8) Matt & Ashley - they were so excited to find out they were still in the Race.
9) Harley & Jonathan - **ELIMINATED** These two are really great together, Jonathan says the race has been a dream of his and he got to do it with the person he loves most (aww.)
So with Jonathan & Harley's exit, that takes Roxanne S, Lindsay J, Don T, Monica S. and Nenad M. out of the pool.
Next Episode will be on April 3rd (March Madness is pre-empting our show) - and we see Jeff fighting with Jackie and Hayley berating Blair... then they showed us a whole bunch of stuff that can't just be in the next episode - they are going to be sledding down sand dunes at some point! COOL!
Sorry for the late recap guys, I've been a little under the weather - but have a great rest of your week.

So with Jonathan & Harley's exit, that takes Roxanne S, Lindsay J, Don T, Monica S. and Nenad M. out of the pool.
Next Episode will be on April 3rd (March Madness is pre-empting our show) - and we see Jeff fighting with Jackie and Hayley berating Blair... then they showed us a whole bunch of stuff that can't just be in the next episode - they are going to be sledding down sand dunes at some point! COOL!
Sorry for the late recap guys, I've been a little under the weather - but have a great rest of your week.
