Bros Being Jocks
The teams remained in Colombia for this leg - first heading to the Plaza de San Diego on foot to get their next clue.
-Tyler & Korey are the first out, they tell us they've never been anything but friends... well, Tyler thought Korey was cute but once they met, there was no hope of romance. Korey, "So, wait, you thought I was good looking but my personality sucks?" Tyler, "Your words, not mine."
-Brodie & Kurt are right behind them and Brodie at least is aware of his faults, he knows they go too fast and he is constantly talking (and yelling) which Kurt may find annoying (I'm with him on that.)
The clue at the Plaza tells them to find the Castillo San Felipe and search the claustrophobic catacombs for the next clue... and this is where the ridiculously dramatic Erin (the redhead) has a panic attack and the other claustrophobe, mom Sheri, while keeping it together, also can't believe they have to go underground again.
No one had a problem finding the clue in the catacombs, but it was so hot everyone was sweaty and short tempered. The clue they found was for the DETOUR: Tickets or Tejo
Tickets - they must board a local bus and play the role of conductor, using their power of persuasion to collect 20,000 pesos (about $5.98US) at 1800 pesos per person.
Tejo - they must play the local sport of tejo; taking a 3lb metal disc, some gunpowder and throwing it at a clay target - they must hit the target (making it explode) three times to get their next clue.
(I don't know why anyone would choose Tickets, give me exploding horseshoes all day! Oh wait, these are attention seekers...)
Tyler & Korey and Brodie & Kurt both choose Tejo and hop in cabs. Tyler & Korey's driver gets lost and they lose the lead here.
-Brodie & Kurt sail through Tejo quickly - they should have good aim, being pro Frisbee players.
Burnie & Ashley - choose Tejo along with Dana & Matt. Dana is in rare form today, any time Matt says anything she snaps at him... (yup, Dana is turning out to be a peach - it almost reminds me of the blind date season with Dr Blair and Nurse Hayley where she was shrieking at him all the time, at least they had the excuse of just having met, I'm less surprised at the long engagement now.)
Brodie & Kurt are the first team to get the clue to the next location - Calle San Juan De Dios where they must look for the marked mochila vendor along the wall - a mochila is a traditional Colombian bag woven in bright colours and varying patterns.
Tejo - Tyler & Korey finally get there and say they've played a similar game in college called Cornhole (I said pardon?)
-Burnie & Ashley mention Cornhole as well - (Okay, I had to look up Cornhole since I have a dirty mind... and I've actually played this game before but it was called Baggo - or just sandbag toss -
., now that I've satisfied my curiosity...)
Zach & Rachel are the first team to choose Tickets. And once Erin overcomes her terror, they choose Tickets as well because they can't imagine a better time than interacting with the people and being able to smile and laugh (I'd much rather explode things, I wonder what that says about me?)
Sheri & Cole choose Tejo, Scot & Blair (has her voice always been that annoying?) are doing Tickets - she's ready to put on a show, do whatever it takes to get the money.
Zach & Rachel are the first team to start Tickets - they get on a bus and have to yell out the side door the destinations in an effort to get people on the bus - their first passenger is a fan of Zach's from his videos - He thinks it's so cool to have fans even in Colombia.
ROADBLOCK - Brodie & Kurt are the first team to get the clue, "Who's left holding the bag?" They have to choose a mochila bag from the vendor then run through the walled city to find two other bags made by the same designer (tag in the bag) - Since Kurt speaks Spanish, and he's not such a spaz, he's doing this one.
Tejo - Dana & Matt finish and yes, she did tell him not to tell her what to do.
Darius & Cameron are just getting the Detour clue - choosing Tejo, they are hoping they can make up some time, somewhere.
Models Jessica & Brittany show up to throw the tejo and all the locals put down their beers to watch them play (ah boys.)
Roadblock - Tyler & Korey get there and Tyler is doing this one for them. Kurt has found one other bag and keeps having to ask directions of locals - it seems the marked vendors are hard to find.
Tickets - Erin & Joselyn are pinching themselves, they are having so much fun with the bus task. Zach, not so much, no one seems to want to get on his bus. Scott & Blair starts screaming that she'll trade kisses for pesos (Besos4Pesos) and people started flocking on their bus - then they saw dad and she just blew them kisses (good ol' bait and switch).
Roadblock - Ashley and Dana have joined the bag search - Dana is trying to match the pattern of the bag not having looked inside to find the designers name - and she can find no matching patterns (oh boy.)
Kurt is the first one finished and they get the clue to the PIT STOP - Baluarte de Santiago (old city wall) - they must make their way on foot.
Tickets - back on the buses, Zach & Rachel are slowly creeping towards their goal, Erin & Joselyn are selling the bus and enjoying themselves immensely (but they're super fake, always "on" people, I just find that exhausting.) Blair is still screaming that she's going to kiss everyone and people are streaming on the bus faster than Scott can count the money.
Tejo - Darius & Cameron finally get their rhythm down and they get the clue to the Roadblock ahead of all the Tickets people... way to make up some ground boys!
Tickets - Erin & Joselyn are the first team finished having earned way over their 20K. Blair & Scott are done as well, once he counts it all, they are way over too. Zach & Rachel, think they're done, but unfortunately Rachel was counting 1K as 10K - so they had to go back, get a new bus and make up the difference (ouch, that's gonna hurt them.)
Roadblock - Jessica & Cole are basically doing this one together - she actually found her two bags before he did but stayed with him trying to help him find his second bag - there were still people behind them so she was okay spending the extra time. She says, "If you're not the last team, if you want to be nice, be nice." Finally they do part ways when she handed in her bags and he still had one more to find, but she seemed upset about leaving a man behind. (Maybe she should be in the military.) Cole does finish not on his own not much later.
-Erin & Joselyn and Darius & Cameron both get there. Erin & Darius are searching for the bags... and there is no working together. Darius has more luck than Erin, she's trying, unsuccessfully, to find someone that speaks English.
-Scott & Blair arrive and she's making Daddy do this one... and it's getting dark. Erin runs into Scott and they decide to work together to try and find the marked vendors, she has a map and he's trying to help her read it... okay they didn't decide to work together so much as he glommed on to her but she does ditch him at one point, coming back when she realizes he has the map... he's not too happy with Erin.
It's full dark when Zach & Rachel get to the Roadblock and Zach is going to do this one.
-Darius finally finds his second bag, knows he has to find the right vendor which may be where his brother is waiting - but when he gets there he asks the girl if she's Adriana (the designer of his bags) and when she says no, he takes off to try and find Adriana (NOOOO!) And he doesn't recover from this. All the other teams find their bags, hand them in to the vendor that is right there and get the clue to the Pit Stop. By the time Darius figures this out, it's too late.
Here's How They Finished:
1) Brodie & Kurt - won a trip for two to Mikonos, Greece.
2) Tyler & Korey - they dreamed they would do this well.
3) Burnie & Ashley - she found her bags matching the pattern, luckily that worked for her.
4) Dana & Matt - despite telling him to not talk to her and leave her alone the whole leg, Phil was still able to make them dance a bit at the mat. (She's happy once they're done.)
5) Brittany & Jessica - they 'beauty queen' out with Miss Cartegena at the mat as they are Miss Florida and Miss Iowa! (EEEE!)
6) Sheri & Cole - he lets Mom hug him reluctantly, cause they are so sweaty.
7) Erin & Jocelyn - Erin is so happy to be done, she's crying again.
8) Scott & Blair - Blair admits her dad carried her through this leg.
9) Zach & Rachel - Zach thought he knew where the Pit Stop was but he was wrong... they think they're in a foot race with the brothers now for sure.
10) Darius & Cameron - ***ELIMINATED*** Book smart did not translate to Race smart in this case, overthinking was their downfall.
And with Darius & Cameron leaving that takes Sue S. Shelley A., Kim A., Miranne D., and Sandy G. out of the Pool.
Next time - they are heading to Switzerland and Blair + Brodie = Blodie! (ooh, do we have a Race romance brewing?)
Have a great week everyone,
