Morocc' and Roll
Last week the mighty blowhard fell as the McFakerson Dentists came in last in Denmark... but apparently they are also lucky because they didn't have to burn their Save, it was a Non-Elimination round.
This week the Cyclists were the first out at 9:48pm - they get the clue to fly to Marrakech, Morocco - once they land they will have to make their way to the food cart garage at the bazaar and look for their next clue. The girls felt breaking away from the group in the last leg helped them do things with more patience and hope they can carry on that way with the other teams around them. They head for a travel agency.
-Wresters are next out at 12:08am... and they have taken too many blows to the head - talking about playing the Moroccos (when they mean maracas - not the same thing.)
-Survivors Whitney & Keith head out at 12:22am - they've been engaged for a year and half and she's decided it's time for them to move up and win themselves a honeymoon.
-Scientists 12:37am - super excited to be heading to Morocco.
At the travel agency, Cyclists Kym & Alli find out the earliest flight to Morocco leaves at 8:25am and they will land at 3:15pm. It's crushing for them to realize they've totally lost their lead (uh, you have watched this show before, yes?)
-1am - Tim & Te Jay - they are ready to Morocc' and Roll!
-1:59am - Shelley & Nici had a long talk last night and they seem to have worked some things out. Nici left home at 17 so this has been the first time in years they have been together non-stop, in your face. (I totally get the fighting, especially with your mom who's going to love you no matter how awful you act.)
-Soul Surfers, 2:19am - they are chipper and laid-back as ever.
-McFakerson Dentists, 2:29am - they are back on track and ready to tackle this leg - she's so grateful it was a non-elimination leg and they still have the Save - he, as usual, can't just say 'we're going to dust our selves off,' he has to say, "Winners dust themselves off and keep trucking and that's what we're going to do." (He sounds like he drank the Kool-Aid at a How to Be A Winner seminar.)
-In the airport all the teams are hanging out waiting for their flight and no one is very happy to learn that the Dentists still have the Save. Dentist Jim is glad the other teams know they won't be going home today because if there is a U-Turn, why make an enemy of a team that won't be eliminated. (We may see if the others see it that way.)
Marrakech, Morocco
-The flight lands and the Dentists are the first in a cab and obviously his confidence is back as he declares "Team Domination is back in action." (Ugh!)
-Daughter Nici is speaking Spanish to the cab driver and negotiates a rate with him and gets him to agree to keep their bags in the cab. Shelley is so proud.
Jemaa El-Fnaa (the bazaar)
-The teams start arriving and have to look for a brown door... somewhere in the huge plaza area... they all just start jogging among the tables of goods and snake charmers (eek) and all arrive at the cluebox basically together and read the clue: they have to help a food vendor bring out their cart and set up shop, once the vendor is satisfied he can open for business, they'll get their next clue... Caution, U-TURN Ahead.
Jim & Misti also see their Speed Bump - They must gather 8 rugs from the carpet shop, then use a stick to hang them by hooks on a wire strung along the walls of a nearby hotel to display them for sale.
-They get to the shop and Jim wants to carry everything, they waste time with him insisting he can carry more and she just picks up and goes.
The rest of the teams are all scrambling to grab the food carts which they find out are pretty heavy - once they get rolling some are having to struggle to get them to stop. Once they get the carts to their designated positions, then they have to start untying everything and getting it set up. (This could be a struggle for the one armed girl... at least they have help from the vendors as well.) Hmm, or maybe not, they're not really sure where anything goes and with the language barrier they are just guessing.
-Dentists start trying to hang the rugs and it's much easier said than done. I was disappointed with Misti, she tried but the rugs proved too heavy for her to hang and it fell to he-man dentist Jim to do most of the work. It's taking much longer than they would have liked and they are just praying they won't get U-Turned (but you have the Save.)
-The other teams were helping set out the food as part of the set up of the carts - T&T had a meat cart and they said it smelled gross. Cyclists had vegetarian and, as usual, Kym wants to know if they get to eat when it's done. Wrestlers are setting out eggs which were not refrigerated, Brooke was sure they would all be bad.
-And the first team to get a pass is Whitney & Keith because the food vendor was smitten with the flaxen haired Whitney. They get the clue to make their way on foot to the tannery to look for their next clue.
-Dentists finally get all the rugs hung and are just getting their food cart rolling out into position when the rest of the teams are finishing and heading for the tannery. But this tannery is pretty well hidden - Keith & Whitney are still wandering through the rat maze of back alleys looking for the place... along with everyone else now, as they show the Dentists finishing set up and Phil drops in to tell us the Dentists are 12 minutes behind the other teams.
- Keith & Whitney finally get to the clue box and find it's a ROADBLOCK - Phil tells us they must finish the tanning of the leather by scraping the hair off three hides, then deliver bundles of finished hides by bicycle to the local cobbler who will give them a receipt to return to the tannery to get their next clue.
-Keith, Amy, Brooke, Bethany (who will be doing her first Roadblock), Tim and Kym are going to be doing the Roadblock. They quickly realize that it stinks (Brooke was doing some heaving) and it's just gross. Nici also jumps into the mix and finally the Dentists choose Misti to do this one so she could mentally get past her failure at the last Roadblock. (Okay, say what I do about the Dentists, they really are positive and up for any challenge - I just wish he'd stop pointing out how wonderful they are, cause that almost negates everything.)
-Kym & Tim are the first two to finish the hides and she's in her element taking the 3 bundles of hides on the bike - Tim can't figure out how to get them strapped down.
-The rest of the teams are finishing the scraping and Jim is telling Misti to hurry up. Scientist Maya is telling the camera the smell isn't the worst, they are experiencing the culture... and Jim starts making fun of her to the camera - "No, it smells like sh*t." (And I'm no longer warming to him.)
-Once the teams are on the bikes, the next challenge is to find the cobbler. Bethany was really struggling to get the bundles tied to her bike then some locals helped her... but that didn't help her find the cobbler any faster - everyone is now riding in circles through the rat maze of alleys looking for the cobbler.
-Misti closed the gap on Nici at the skins with Mom and Jim yelling at both of them... They are both trying to get the hides tied on the bikes - Nici starts to ride away but hers fall off and she's blocking the way out so when Misti tries to get by her she knocks her bike all the way. She's genuinely sorry, she didn't do it on purpose... but attitude Nici is back (she really needs to learn some patience that one.)
-A bunch of the bike riders meet up to lament not being able to find the cobbler and they are all just blown away by what a beast Bethany is in these challenges - Kym & Brooke especially say they have enough trouble with two arms and she's doing all of this with one.(I know, she's amazing!)
-Then they all end up bunched together until finally they all find the cobbler at the same time - so now it's a jostling crush to deliver the skins and get back to the tannery.
-Tim and Amy take off the wrong direction, everyone else gets to the tannery quickly and Nici finds her mom first, there is much screaming from the ladies. Keith gets to the tanner first though and Shelley tries to push him out of the way saying he has to be with his partner, but Whitney is right behind her and Keith's not moving. "Push me one more time." "And what?" Whitney tries to keep the peace, "It's okay, It's okay, I'm right here." (And you're going to be getting the clues literally seconds apart... but Shelley's having none of it. "Don't you threaten me." (I know two teams that are going to be looking to U-Turn each other.)
-Keith reads the clue that they again have to travel by foot to find Ben Yousef Medersa to find their next clue. And yes, these teams have choice words for each other.
-Cyclists and Surfers are the first to find the clue and it's the DETOUR: Twirl Time or Tea Time
-In Twirl Time - they have to become street performers and play the traditional trance-like music - one person will have to wear a hat and twirl the tassel on the top while playing castinets type instruments and the other will have to play the drum. When they are able to twirl the tassel for one straight minute while keeping the beat, they'll get their next clue.
-In Tea Time - They must pick up a traditional Moroccan tea set then walk it through the narrow winding streets of the old city to a specific restaurant. Once there, one team member must hold a tray of glasses with one arm while the other performs a traditional pour (this was made for Bethany) - once the professional tea server is satisfied with their pour, they'll get the next clue.
-Surfers choose Tea Time and Cyclists are going to Twirl Time... actually the teams end up pretty evenly split: Wrestler, Tea - Mom & Daughter, Twirl - Keith & Whitney, Twirl - Dentists, Tea - Scientists, Twirl and Tim & Te Jay, Tea Time.
-Surfers, Wrestlers and Dentists all get their tea sets and head for the restaurant.
-Survivors and Cyclists are the first to the music place and they have to get dressed (I love a good dress up) - Scientists and Mom & Daughter show up and after everyone dresses up they get an instructor to work with them and show them the beat they will have to follow... There is definitely an art to getting the tassel to twirl... I think this is going to be quite the challenge.
-Tim & Te Jay are the last team to finally get their tea set - just as the other teams are finally arriving at the restaurant - exhausted as the tea sets were actually pretty heavy. Brooke wasn't the only one complaining this time (though she did her fair share).
-They also have to put on white robes and white gloves then get a demonstration - one person holds the tray with one hand and the other pours two tea pots at the same time, lifting them higher as the glasses fill.
-The Dentists are the first to jump in (as usual) but in their haste didn't notice the tray holder could only use one hand. Misti used two and they failed.
- The Surfers decided to practice first, they have learned to take their time in some of these challenges and it usually pays off if they only have to do it once.
-The Wrestlers jump in but Brooke doesn't lift the teapots when she's pouring so they fail as well.
-Out in the bazaar, the street musicians are trying their hand at drums and twirling - Kym was getting dizzy wobbling her head around and Whitney learned that any musical talent she has does not extend to twirling a tassel on her head. Maya could not get the hat to stay on her head and Shelley kept having the tassel smack into her face... ho, boy, this is going to be a long day.
-Tim & Te Jay get to the restaurant and we see that Jim & Misti still haven't figured out she needs to hold the tray with one arm and the Wrestlers haven't figured out that Brooke has to lift the pots up higher as she pours. Bethany & Adam get it right on the first try (of course they did - cause they stay calm and pay attention... laid back and athletic is a good combination for them.)
-They read the clue to make their way on foot to another place... it's the U-Turn.
-Back out in the bazaar, Kym says she's too dizzy so they switch and Alli is able to get her tassel twirling for a full minute, hat nearly falling off and everything - they are the first to get the clue to the U-Turn from this group.
-Keith & Whitney try switching too since he's blaming her head for not being able to twirl... but he doesn't do any better (see!)
-Maya and Shelley are still struggling too.
-Surfers have to ask directions to find the U-Turn and it's the Cyclists that make it there first. They choose not to U-Turn anyone and they can make their way to the Pit Stop - Al Matjar Carpet Shop.
-The Surfers also choose not to U-Turn anyone and head for the Pit Stop.
-Nici takes a minute to tell Shelley, "once you get the tassel swinging, do not change the pace or direction"... and for some reason that worked 'cause they are the next team to finish (sorry Keith &
Whitney). Whitney wants to change tasks but he insists they finish this first (cause he might have a feeling they'll have to do both.)
-But Shelley & Nici can't decide who to U-Turn, the Dentists who still have a Save or Whitney & Keith who just p*ssed them off... in the end Shelley looked down and saw Keith & Whitney still struggling with the tassel and it was a no-brainer for her to choose the Survivors to U-Turn. She sees it as karma, he played dirty and it came back to bite him. (I don't know, they both seemed equally awful in that situation.)
Back at the tea service - Tim & Te Jay are the next team to pass and get the clue. After another demonstration, Misti finally realizes she needs to hold the tray with one arm and Brooke is still befuddled on what she's doing wrong.
-Back out in the square, Whitney still can't swing her tassel for more than 30 seconds and wants to switch detours but Keith still won't let her.
-Maya and Amy finally decide to trade out so Amy will try the twirling (why did that take so long?)
-Tim & Te Jay get to the U-Turn board and are so happy not to be the one's U-Turned... they decide not to U-Turn anybody and head for the Pit Stop.
Back at the tea service - Jim & Misti finally get a pass (I swear, nothing ever gets that smile off Misti's face, is she for real?) and it looks like the Wrestlers finally figure out the correct pouring technique. These teams also head for the U-Turn.
Back at twirl time - we find out Amy was in band for years and is really good at keeping rhythm... so twirls for a minute with no problem (again, why didn't she do the twirling from the start?) and they head for the U-Turn. This finally convinces Keith that they should switch.
-U-Turn, Wrestlers and Dentists choose not to U-Turn anyone, they are all hoping that Keith & Whitney are dead last. The Scientists also choose not to U-Turn anyone, they know Keith & Whitney are still behind them.
- Then we see a montage of Keith & Whitney - they finished the tea service, found out they were U-Turned and had to go finish the tassel twirling - but they did it and started to have some fun with it - why not at that point?
Here's How They Finished:
1) Kym & Alli (Cyclists) - they won $5K each. And were just seconds ahead of...
2) Adam & Bethany (Surfers)
3) Tim & Te Jay
4) Shelley & Nici - Phil was worried that they might quit after the last leg but blood is thicker than water - they may fight, but it'll always blow over, "She's my only mama."
5) Robbie & Brooke (Wrestlers) (5, 6, 7 were all on the mat together)
6) Misti & Jim (McFakerson Dentists) - "no Speed bump for us tomorrow," Jim says, like that's the only reason they finished so far back. (He really needs to get over himself.)
7) Amy & Maya (Scientists)
8) Keith & Whitney (Survivors) - ELIMINATED - it sucks, but she's still glad they postponed their wedding and came on the Race - it was a wonderful experience... He thinks if only they had chosen the tea task first they could have won that honeymoon... (oh well. you didn't.)
So, with Keith & Whitney's departure, that takes Lois & Dave L., Karen F., Sandy G., Karen W. and Sue & Hannelore out of the pool. (It's a bloodbath ;))
Hope everyone has a great week and Happy Halloween.

So, with Keith & Whitney's departure, that takes Lois & Dave L., Karen F., Sandy G., Karen W. and Sue & Hannelore out of the pool. (It's a bloodbath ;))
Hope everyone has a great week and Happy Halloween.
