Welcome to Bloody Fingers 101
Last week Sheri & Cole (Mud) remained in the Race by the skin of their teeth because there was no actual Pit Stop - they continued racing... and everyone is on the train to Georgia (and Phil told us, "Yes, they will be on a midnight train to Georgia") Once in Tbilisi, they must make their way to the statue of St. George to find their next clue.
-Blair & Brodie admit to the camera that they like each other and are going to see if there is anything there once they get home (ooohhh!)
At the statue, the clue tells them to head to a fortress, ride the gondola down to the river then head to a monastery to find their next clue (this was the travel ad portion of the Race, come to Georgia, it's beautiful...)
Tyler & Korey were the first team to the monastery and they read the clue to the DETOUR: Clean or String (Wine or Candy)
In Clean: they have to climb in enormous clay pots buried in the ground for wine making, and clean them out to the winemaker's satisfaction to get their next clue.
In String: they have to make the country's favourite candy, a string of hazelnuts dipped in a mixture of wine, flour and sugar. They will have to make five acceptable strings to get the next clue.
Candy/String only has 4 stations and everyone wanted to do candy except Sheri & Cole who chose Clean right away (because she knows she can clean.)
-At the candy task is where Brodie says the title of the episode: Welcome to Bloody Fingers 101, because stringing hazelnuts using just your hands and a big needle is pokey work.
-Brodie & Kurt, Tyler & Korey, Zach & Rachel and Burnie & Ashley were the first teams to candy. Dana & Matt showed up at the same time as Blair & Daddy/Scott so they had no spots for them - Blair & Scott say they're going to switch and leave, then Dana & Matt leave as well... but then Blair & Scott decide, now that only one team is waiting, they're going to wait it out (tricky).
-Dana & Matt don't think their cab driver knows where they are supposed to go because they are in the cab for so long so she freaks out and gets him to go back...
At Candy: the teams start to get their dipped strings checked and surprise Brodie & Kurt only have a couple pass inspection. Tyler & Korey didn't do much better. Zach & Rachel and Burnie & Ashley were successful though and they take off - letting Blair & Scott start stringing the nuts.
In a surprising turn, Tyler & Korey decide they can't restring more nuts, their hands are too cold and their fingers too sore so they switched tasks (say what?) As they head out, Dana & Matt have just come back and decide to join them with the wine/clean so head back to the cab (make up your mind!)
At Clean: Sheri & Cole have been cleaning the clay pot, I was happy to see he was inside with her being claustrophobic, but when it came time to actually scrub the thing, Mom got in there because, let's face it, the kid is useless.
Zach & Rachel are the first team to the next location, the Georgian National Theatre, there they get the clue to the ROADBLOCK: Who's light on their feet?
-Rachel right away says Zach is, and he's not too happy, it's going to be ballet and he only had some tap lessons as a little kid.
-You know the dance challenges are the kiss of death, and this proved no different - they had to learn a pretty complicated and fast footwork routine. (I know I'd be sunk.)
-The teams start filtering in to the Roadblock and we are treated to an afternoon of horrible dancing and total desperation from some - and one gleeful dance from Dana, the professional dancer who knocked it out of the park because she was so starved to dance.
-So the dancers ended up being: Zach, Ashley, Kurt, Dana, Sheri, Korey & Scott. I think the worst decision of the leg was Blair making her dad do the dancing. Though they all had to wear a big black fuzzy hat/wig thing which was hilarious.
-The first person done the dance was Ashley, she had some dance experience so she was able to pass Zach no problem... but then their cab driver took them to the wrong park, not the Pit Stop (aw, that sucks for them...)
Here's How They Finished:
1) Zach & Rachel - They won a trip to Turks & Caicos - Zach was a horrible dancer but he never gave up and it paid off for them.
2) Burnie & Ashley - It was tough to lose first place to a bad cab ride.
3) Brodie & Kurt - Kurt has been salsa dancing for years so he was overconfident doing the dancing, but he got it pretty quickly.
4) Dana & Matt - She crushed the Roadblock - she just needed to dance and it was rejuvenating for her.
5) Sheri & Cole - Mom can dance (this was a good one for her to do, but she's going to have to let him do something sometime.)
6) Korey & Tyler - Scott actually finished his dance ahead of Korey but then Scott picked up Tyler's bag by accident and had to go back and Korey & Tyler's cab driver got them to the Pit Stop first.
7) Blair & Scott - **ELIMINATED** It was sad, though her voice is very annoying, I enjoyed their father/daughter relationship on the Race... and is this the end of Blodie?
So with Blair & Daddy leaving us, that takes Laura W., Lee B., Bernice R., Robert L. and Drew C. out of the pool.
Next week they had to Dubai; there are little gold bathing suits and long drop water slides, Sheri & Cole get lost in the desert and Brodie & Kurt race against camels on bikes. Should be a good leg.
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
