Hot Sexy Knights
Do you remember what happened two weeks ago on the Amazing Race? Yeah, me neither, crazy! But they reminded us, they were in Palermo, the racers did the go-carting and then had to paint the ceiling or remember the opera singer clothes... and Tim & Te Jay were saved by it being a non-elimination round.
This week, the teams are all heading to Malta... and no one is quite sure where that is (I'm with them actually.) Phil informs us that it's an island nation in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea (thanks Phil.)
The Dentists are the first team to read the clue and Phil tells us once they arrive in Malta (by ferry) they will have to make their way to The Bridge Bar and then make their way up St Ursula's staircase (that is a lot of stairs) carrying a tray of heavy drinks to deliver to the Knights of Malta, to get their next clue. (I'm thinking there is a lot of broken glass in our future.)
-Everyone's going to be on the same ferry but they headed out in this order: Dentists, Cyclists, Scientists - and we learned that Amy has a leg injury from pre-race workouts that is really bothering her this leg - Wrestlers, Surfers - they remind us that they still have the Express Pass - and Tim & Te Jay.
On the Ferry - Dentist Misti is talking to Wrestler Brooke pointing out that the Cyclist went off and were sitting by themselves again. Brooke tells us she just can't stand the Cyclists, they do their own thing, are kinda solo and are super super strong so she wants to get rid of them. So Brooke proposes to all the other teams that they agree to U-Turn the Cyclists if they get the chance and most of them seem to be on board, Bethany said they only thought of using a U-Turn if they had to, Maya said she'd agree if everyone else agreed and Tim says as long as it's not him, he's all in. And everyone is laughing and getting along...
-The Cyclists see them all hanging out and can't believe they want to talk to each other. When other teams ask them why they are off by themselves they get annoyed, "maybe we don't want to talk to you, maybe we need a minute... maybe we're just New Yorkers :)!"
Malta - the ferry pulls in and they are all running for taxi's - it's also dark, no idea what time it is.
-Bethany & Adam get to the bar first and way ahead of everyone else - how are they so lucky? Anyway, the bartender at The Bridge Bar explains they will each have a round tray with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses on it. They have to carry the tray balanced on the fingertips of one hand above their shoulder. If they break anything they have to come back to the bar, get a broom and clean it up, then start over again - and they have to carry the tray up a very long flight of stairs to deliver it to the Knights.
-The rest of the teams start arriving as Adam & Bethany are climbing the stairs with their trays and carrying their backpacks on their backs still (ugh, wouldn't that be easier without the backpacks? but I guess they don't want to have to come back down to get their bags if they get the clue.)
-Adam & Bethany are doing awesome, slow and steady gettin' er done.
-Brooke is non-stop complaining as is her way.
-Dentist Jim, while telling his wife how to hold the tray, doesn't even make it out the door of the bar before he loses the wine glasses and he's sweeping.(Oh what a shame :))
-Maya does the same thing - she drops her glasses inside the restaurant.
-Bethany & Adam get to the Knights table and Bethany drops her glasses at the very last second (WHAT? Oh man! That sucks.) They have to go back, clean up and start over - (I think I would have cried.)
-Bethany & Adam take off running down the stairs passing everyone slowly coming up and they're all asking them questions but they are focused and not giving away where the Knights table is.
-The Dentists are trying to head out again as Bethany and Adam run into the bar, nearly making Jim drop his glasses again... and Maya does drop her's again - still not out the door.
-Surfers clean up their glass and head back down again, passing Tim & Te Jay and Tim drops a glass (Argh, another one so close.)
-The Cyclists are the first team to successfully deliver the wine and they get the clue to make their way to the Boathouse and search for their next clue. The Wrestlers are right behind them both take off looking for cabs.
-The Cyclists get the only taxi out there and the Wrestlers ask if he'll call them another cab - the Cyclists assure them he is calling but as they drive away Kym asks Alli why she did that, we should have said no - and Alli tells him to cancel the other taxi (see, that's low) - luckily Brooke doesn't trust them as far as she can throw them and the Wrestlers continue to look for a cab - but, they have their usual cab luck - which is none.
-Misti & Jim deliver their wine, the Scientists drop more glasses, Adam & Bethany deliver their wine, Tim & Te Jay deliver the wine and find a taxi stand right away, and the Scientists bump into each other on the stairs and drop more glasses - attempt #5 coming up for them.
-Dentists find a cab, Surfers find a cab - Wrestlers, still looking.
Boathouse - the Cyclists and Tim & Te Jay are the first teams to arrive and they find a lit shelf that has 6 Malta Cross necklaces hanging from it - the crosses are marked with departure times for the next morning - three are 7:30am and three are 7:45am. (So the Scientists could take all night with the wine delivery and they'll still be caught up.)
-Misti & Jim are the third team taking the 7:30 spot leaving Surfers, Wrestlers and Scientists the 7:45.
-And they are all camping out on the concrete by the water at the boathouse - and for once Tim & Te Jay do more whining than Brooke.
7:30am - ROADBLOCK - Who's feeling Blue? One person from each team will have to rappel 20 stories over a cliff into the blue grotto - once in the water, they will have to swim into the cave, retrieve their clue which is hanging off the side of a boat and then swim back to the boat where their partner is waiting for them.
Tim, Misti and Alli are doing this one.
7:45am: 2nd round will be Bethany, Amy and Robbie doing the rappelling (will we find something the one armed girl can't do?)
First group goes over the edge and Misti is a revelation, she's killing it! Alli is behind her but starts to catch up as they lower themselves - coming down a distant third is Tim, "Shut up, it was scary."
-The ladies hit the water, they get to the boats to get unhooked from their rigging and then its back in the water swimming for the clue. Alli makes it back first and Brooke, watching from the other boat says, "Of course the Cyclists get the clue first. Hopefully my plan comes together and we can U-Turn them." (Of course there is no U-Turn this leg and, more importantly, in order for anyone to U-Turn them, you have to be ahead of them... I don't know if Brooke has thought that far ahead.)
-Cyclists read the clue which tells them to head to the Church of St Scholastica and look for their clue on this super narrow little street hidden behind the church.
-First three teams are heading for the Church and the the second rounders start their rappel. Who do you think was the first person over the side? Bethany, of course. And we hear Brooke b*tching from the boat again, "Of course Bethany is first, she's the best one too." (Bethany's a beast - she's fantastic) and she does just as well in the water, she's to the boat and back to Adam before the other two even get to the clue. Brooke, "Bethany is like the Terminator. She has one arm and she destroys every challenge. How is that possible?" (Well, she's not complaining every minute for one thing.)
-Amy was able to pass Robbie in the swimming - he did a lot of splashing around but didn't make much progress - Maya says it all, "Muscle can sink."
-Church of St Scholastica - The Cyclists lucked into finding the cluebox and then have to choose a DETOUR blind - either FLAG or SHINE - but they don't tell them anything about the tasks.
-Cyclists head to Flag - and we find out they will have to run along a greased pole set out over the water and then grab a flag before they fall off - there is a closer yellow flag and a farther red flag - each person must capture just one flag.
-Alli is saying, "We've got this, we have balance..." and in the background, the guy greasing the pole slips off (HAHAHA!! Now that's comedic timing.)
-As Alli & Kym are getting helmetted up, T&T and the Dentists get there and see the girls so they head down to the Flag task (Um, the clue?)
-Alli gets the yellow flag by walking out up to the greased part of the pole then jumping off and grabbing the yellow flag, which leaves just the farter red one's for Kym... and she's not happy about it.
-Meanwhile the Dentists and Tim & Te Jay are getting suited up when Tim finally twigs, they haven't seen their Speed Bump yet, oh, and they didn't even go to a Detour decision point... so the boys take off, find the alley and also find their Speed Bump.
Speed Bump: They both have to paint a Maltese cross on a shield and have it approved by the Knight before they can continue to the Detour (Huh, pretty easy Speed Bump.)
Flag - back at Flag Misti and Jim are actually running out on the log (and falling off very quickly) before Jim finally realizes this is a Detour (by looking at Kym & Alli's clue) and we didn't find the clue first... they leave and, ever the optimist, Misti says, "At least we know we don't want to do that Detour." (Amen sister.)
-Alli is giving Kym a pep talk about making it out to the red flag, but, come on, it is pretty much impossible. And Kym is blaming Alli for leaving her with the hard one - they decide to switch. (My question, if both of them capture a yellow flag, could both of them keep trying for the red? - Why was it one flag per person?)
-Dentists, Surfers and Scientists are all looking for the clue box and Maya with the sharp eyes, gets them all up the little alley. The Dentists know they are going to Shine and the Scientists say they're doing Shine too. Surfers are going to attempt Flag (good luck.)
-Tim & Te Jay are stenciling and painting their shields.
-Wrestlers get to the clue box, Brooke complaining that she's so sick of being in last place (Holy Debbie Downer, can we ever have a positive thought? Please?) And they are doing Shine.
Shine - each person puts on a Maltese Knight's helmet and chest plate then they have to polish each other's suit of armour.
-Everyone is gathering their armour and Brooke, "This is going to be hard. This is going to take forever." (Argh, shut up already.) But none of them are too happy about how long this is going to take, that's a lot of polishing and those suits are pretty rusty.
Flag - Adam & Bethany get to the Flag task and present the Express Pass - I think this may have been the last leg they could use it so it didn't matter what the task was, it was being used. Bethany said the log thing looked fun, she wished they were doing that (I bet she would have captured the red flag too.) Instead they get the clue to the Pit Stop: Fort Manoel.
Speed Bump - Tim & Te Jay finish their shields (Te Jay is not a good painter) but they get the nod and have already decided they are going to attempt the Flag task, they think they can do it (Really?)
Flag - the Scientists said they were doing Shine but can't even follow that simple arrow, they end up at Flag. Tim & Te Jay are already suited up for the pole run but Tim didn't realize the pole was greased, "There's slime on it." Te Jay gets a yellow flag... leaving Tim the red.
-Meanwhile, Amy can't run, she's got that leg injury and she just physically cannot run up the pole - so they have to switch to Shine (blessing in disguise.)
-Shine - The Dentists polish teeth everyday so they are doing pretty well at this.
-Brooke - complain, complain, complain - Robbie asks her if she wants to switch, he doesn't because everyone said the other task was really hard.
-The Scientists show up and Brooke is still complaining that they are so far behind, he points out they are not behind the team that just got there... still, she's not happy unless she's miserable, just let her complain.
Flag - There is no way Tim is going to get the red flag. He keeps trying though.
Shine - The Dentists are crushing the polishing - just like doing a gold crown.
-Robbie finally calls Brooke on her attitude - "Do you have to be so negative about everything?" (I know, right?) And finally they decide to switch detours just to shut her up.
-Dentists are the first team to finish the polishing and they get the clue to the Pit Stop.
Flag - Tim is no closer to getting that red flag but they are heartened to see the Wrestlers show up.
-Robbie makes his first attempt and falls off the log before he even hits the grease. Brooke tries it and complains that she broke her butt hitting the water.
-Tim & Te Jay are bickering - Te Jay is complaining that Tim's giving up (Really dude, you didn't have to rappel and swim earlier and then you took the easy flag... I'd smack him.) Tim just tells him to be quiet.
-Robbie makes a second attempt but they can't even make the yellow flag - he tells her he's over it, they're never going to get the red flag. And she's mad - now they will definitely be last. He's telling her they may be behind the other polishers and Tim could get the flag but they're never getting the red flag so it doesn't matter. She's just going to pout as they polish their armour.
-The Scientists are happy to see the Wrestlers return, "We're still in it." The Cyclists are judged and told to polish it some more. The Scientists are also told to polish more...
-Then the Cyclists get a pass and head for the Pit Stop.
-The Scientists also get a pass on their armour and Maya wants to chest bump with the armour on, nearly knocking poor Amy over (She's got a bad leg!)
-Brooke, "This part of the Amazing Race is not amazing."
-Tim & Te Jay are still trying, well Tim is still trying, to capture the red flag but it's not happening - Tim knows it's too late for them to switch at this point but he doesn't know what else to do. Finally they have no choice but the switch.
-Wrestlers are judged, "More polish please." Brooke, "Oh lord!" Then Tim & Te Jay show up and Brooke is finally happy.
-The Wrestlers get a pass on their armour and run outside to find a taxi - what they find is Tim & Te Jay's taxi waiting for them, with their bags in it. (That's a rule, they can't take someone else's bags out of a taxi to take the car.) And Brooke is complaining again how taxi's screw them every time (she is right there, but I can't help but wonder if she put more positive energy out there, if it wouldn't come back to her when they needed it.)
-Tim & Te Jay know that having their taxi wait could be the only thing that saves them.
-Brooke & Robbie go to a local cafe and have them call a taxi for them.
-Tim & Te Jay get a pass and head out to their cab.
Here's How The Finished:
1) Adam & Bethany - They won $10K each! Great leg to come in first!
2) Misti & Jim - Phil tells them they are Dentists in Shining Teeth.
3) Alli & Kym - The Maltese Falconer standing with Phil doesn't think Kym looks tough (Really? Oh, you know, he haven't seen any Maltese women. Haha)
4) Amy & Maya - Maya is so happy she runs a lap around the Pit Stop - She just loves life Phil! She Loves the Amazing Race!
5) Robbie & Brooke - Phil and Robbie do some pec flexing (don't ask)
6) Tim & Te Jay - they are fighters but are still ELIMINATED - they made it further than their expectations - and Te Jay hopes that his mom will now accept them as boyfriends, not just room-mates.
And with T&T's elimination, Marla L, Katie L, Vikki M, Heather G and Robert L are out of the pool.
Next week: the double U-Turn is in play, the Scientists get a painful massage, Adam & Bethany risk everything (looks like she had a Fast Forward clue) and Jim fights to hang on - OMG, it looks like he's walking a rope really high up between two buildings and his harness comes off the top rope... Holy Moly! Can't wait!
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
