Bring the Fun, Baby
Last week Justin & Diana came in first for the sixth time in a row and Team Texas was eliminated after they faced a long Speed Bump AND were U-Turned by the Reporters.
This leg, the Green Team opens the clue at 5:10pm that tells them they are staying in India. They have to travel to Kachora Bazaar by tuk-tuk to find their next clue... and be ready for a U-Turn, it's coming sooner than you expect. This is the first time ever they have had 3 U-Turns in one Race.
-Justin & Diana discuss the U-Turn and think they will probably use it on Logan & Chris because they think that the Paparazzi lied about the Cheerleaders U-Turning them - they got suckered by Krista's sweet little face.
-The Reporters are the next team to head out at 5:18pm and they are tired of coming in second place to the Green Team constantly.
Blah, blah, blah... this team is so boring, everyone keeps forgetting about them. Joey says in the tuk-tuk that they already used their U-Turn so no one has to worry about them. Joey thinks if Justin & Diana were smart they would U-Turn them (but they have no plan to do that, seemed to have no worries about this team.)
-Next we see Chris puking in the bushes before they even start 5:23pm - he tells us it's going to be a tough leg for him, he started vomiting a few hours before but he's not going to use that as an excuse (he uses it as an excuse the whole leg) he's just got to push through it. They also hope they are not U-Turned.
ROADBLOCK - Who's full of hot air? Teams must blow up balloons, put them in a delicate net bag attached to the back of a bicycle, and when the net is full, ride the bicycle over a bridge to the wedding party planner who will give them their next clue.
-Justin is doing this one - "what could be better than blowing up balloons for a wedding? There is nothing better than love" (yes, I rolled my eyes.)
6:00pm - the Cheerleaders are next out. No one expected them to make it to leg 10 (I know I didn't) that in itself is an accomplishment, now all they have to do is win the last leg. (No problem.)
Roadblock - Justin has a huge crowd watching him blowing up the balloons and laughing at him when he pops some. Justin gives a couple to the kids watching - that was nice - but the big fingers are having some trouble tying the knots.
-The Reporters get there and Joey joins in the balloon blowing (they have an air pump, so at least they won't pass out - but those knots are a challenge.)
-The Paparazzi get there and Logan won't even let Chris read the clue, she's doing this one, no argument allowed. (And you know he must not be feeling well because he actually doesn't argue.)
-Justin asks Joey who he is thinking for the U-Turn, Justin wants them to come in one-two again so should it be Team Alabama or The Paparazzi?...(dude, they're right there.) Joey is non-committal so Justin says, "Maybe we'll just do Chris & Logan, help you guys out." (Does he think they are friends? I guess he still believes the Reporters are working with them.)
6:28pm - Denise & James Earl are the last team to head out. They know they have some catching up to do.
Back at the Roadblock - Chris is being his charming self, telling Logan she has to go faster, more teams are going to show up - she knows other teams are going to show up, obviously, and tells him to just go away (exactly.)
-Justin fills his net and takes off on the bike - through the crazy streets teaming with traffic of all kinds - trying not to pop the balloons and not get killed - it was definitely scary. But he made the delivery and got the clue to make their way to the Goyal Book Store and search for the next clue - the U-Turn is straight ahead. They take off.
-Joey gets his net full of balloons and takes off on his death defying ride.
-Logan is having trouble with her net tangling and losing balloons out of it and popping balloons, and Chris berating her to work smarter... . cranky Chris is such a treat.
-The Cheerleaders showed up at the Roadblock and Tiffany is doing this one. Tiffany sees the trouble Logan is having with her net and makes adjustments to avoid the tangling, props the stick the net is attached to on her shoulder, keeps it straight and tangle-free - smart.
-Logan finally gets her net full and takes off on the ride, which she thinks will be the fun part (really?) and she did seem to enjoy it, she was the fastest on the ride it seemed.
-Team Alabama finally showed up to the Roadblock and James Earl jumps in to blow up some balloons. He has the same issues with the net that Logan did, it's all tangled and being the last team there, he couldn't change stations.
-While they're waiting for their partners to do the challenge, Denise asks Krista not to U-Turn them (obviously she doesn't know they have no U-Turn left) but Krista assures them she would never...
-Logan gets back and yells at Chris to come on, the U-turn is right ahead and they have to go (these two, ugh.) In the tuk-tuk Logan's fretting about the U-Turn and Chris says, "This is the wrong day to have to do two detours." (Would that be because you're sick? Not going to use it as an excuse remember?)
Goyal Book Shop - Justin & Diana get to the U-Turn board and they U-Turn Chris & Logan - say they want to help their friends (they really do think the Reporters are their friends, huh.)
-They get the clue to the DETOUR: Bring the Groom or Bring the Fun.
-In Bring the Groom - one team member must carry a heavy electric candelabra while the other team member must push the heavy generator that lights the candelabras - they must follow the groom on his white horse in procession to his waiting bride to get the next clue.
-In Bring the Fun - they have to push a miniature carnival ride through the busy streets to the wedding then give eight children a ride to get their next clue.
-Justin being the type of guy he is, of course wants to, "Bring the Fun, baby!"
-In the tuk-tuk they said they U-Turned Logan & Chris to save their friends Joey & Kelsey and Krista & Tiffany because the Paps would have probably U-Turned one of them (oh, okay, I'm sure they appreciate it, but I don't think they really are your friends.)
-Joey & Kelsey are happy to see Justin & Diana were true to their word about not U-Turning them, so they are with them to the end, final three. They chose Bring the Groom.
Roadblock - it's important to note that the sun has gone down and it's getting dark when Tiffany heads out to deliver her balloons. Immediately you notice a difference, there are no women left on the streets, kids are running beside her popping some of her balloons, guys are grabbing the net as she rides by (I was genuinely scared for her) and on the bridge a guy rides by her and rips the net, so she loses all her balloons (What the heck?? That made me mad.) Luckily they didn't make her do it over, she got the clue despite not having balloons to deliver (I felt uneasy for the Cheerleaders the rest of the leg, they are the only all-girl team and it seems like they were almost targets on the streets.)
-Justin & Diana are pushing a small carnival ride to the wedding, and all the locals are following.
-Joey & Kelsey have chosen a groom, he gets the generator started, she's carrying the candelabra (really?) and he's pushing the generator - off they go.
-Logan & Chris are fighting their way to the book store (not fighting the crowds, just yelling at each other, as usual) and they find that they have been U-Turned, so their attitudes totally improved (ha!)
They confirmed they don't like Justin & Diana and will not be inviting them to Miami any time soon (I'm sure they'll be crushed.)
-James Earl finally gets all his balloons blown up and despite some shaky bike riding, he gets the clue to head to the U-Turn board.
-Krista & Tiffany get to the U-Turn and are shocked to see that the Green Team U-Turned the Paps, but they were happy it wasn't them. Then they chose Bring the Groom, and they were almost being swallowed by the crowd of boys & men around them - the girls were being playful with the kids running to the tuk-tuk until they started pulling on Krista so she almost couldn't get it (it was scary.)
-Logan & Chris are starting with Bring the Fun - they choose a smallish ride and start pushing it through the streets - he tells us it was one the hardest things he's had to do, especially since he
wasn't feeling well and blah, blah, blah (no excuses.)
Justin & Diana get the ride to the wedding/carnival - they park it and a crowd of kids piles in - they enjoy pushing the kids and then get the clue that tells them to search the party for Phil and check in at the next PIT STOP.
Kelsey & Joey get to the wedding with the groom - they have to escort him to his bride, then stand there awkwardly... but they finally go find the guy with the next clue and start searching the party for Phil.
-U-Turn board - Team Alabama is so grateful that the Green Team was trying to help them out by U-Turning the Paps, they choose bring the groom and seem very uncomfortable with the kids trying to touch them and grabbing at them in the tuk-tuk (definitely not in Kansas, or Alabama, anymore.)
-Chris & Logan get the carnival ride to the party and he's thinking they have to get the kids on the ride and then push it around - she's yelling at him to park it, then the kids get on and ride... it takes a minute but finally he gets it - and they yell at each other that they have to stop yelling cause they're scaring the kids... Ha! They did start enjoying playing with the kids but then had to take off to start the second half of the Detour.
-The Cheerleaders get to the Groom and they have trouble starting the generator but finally it starts and then the real whining begins as they have to carry and push the heavy stuff a really long way to the wedding.
-Chris & Logan show up and she starts yelling at him that the girls are there, they're still in it! Though they both looked like wrung out old dishrags, they choose a groom, get the generator going, Logan takes up the candelabra and Chris starts pushing the generator. Logan is yelling about how easy this is, to encourage Christ to keep going or try to convince herself she can do it... I don't know, I just wish they'd stop yelling.
-Denise & James Earl get to the Groom task and he gets the generator started by accident, (whatever works), and Mom started carrying the candelabra but it was too heavy so they switched... they still think they have a shot because Logan & Chris were U-Turned (so obviously they got there far enough behind them that they don't know the Paps are ahead.)
Here's how they finished:
1) Justin & Diana - they each won $5K - and this is their 7th first place win, one more to tie the record.
2) Joey & Kelsey - they had hoped they might have gotten there first but, still the bridesmaid, coming in second by mere minutes.
3) Krista & Tiffany - they get a little Bollywood dance move instruction.
4) Chris & Logan - The Cheerleaders were not very happy to see them coming to the mat behind them... but they made it.
5) Denise & James Earl - **ELIMINATED** They saw the Cheerleaders and Paparazzi at the mat so they knew they were last and eliminated. James Earl learned his mom is much tougher than she looks and she realized he's the same person as when he was born, and she loves him unconditionally. (Awww, I think I'll actually miss these two, they were a fun team.)
And with Denise & James Earl leaving, that takes Sue & Hannelore, Nenad M., Cara & Alex L., Terry B., and Roxanne S. out of the pool.
Next week: The remaining four teams head to Hong Kong where costly mistakes lead to a shocking finish... Justin crumples on the mat, they showed a lot of shocked faces and then Phil saying, you didn't see that coming did ya? (Ohhh, I can't wait to see what happens.)
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
