That's Money, Honey
Last week saw the shocking (to me) elimination of the Frisbee boys because of some strategic U-Turn play by Tyler & Korey and Burnie & Ashley.
This week we will find out who are the three teams in the finale - and the leg begins with the teams all heading for Shenzhen, China! They are all on the same flight and their first clue is in the departure hall, right there in the airport.
Tyler & Korey and Dana & Matt find the clue box first and agree to act dumb and hide the clue in case other teams can't find the box. Burnie & Ashley find the box but weren't included in the don't tell anyone else so when the teams all meet up while changing money, Sheri & Cole are the only team without the clue - Tyler & Korey have been trying to misdirect them and say they haven't found the clue yet but Burnie doesn't play along and calls them on the lying - this means Burnie is dead to Tyler now.
The clue directs them to head for the Eiffel Tower, which they all correctly guess is at the Window of the World park (it's actually really cool, 130 miniaturized landmarks of the world all in one place - Tyler & Korey and the Dancers are the first two teams to arrive and they read the clue to the ROADBLOCK - It's A Small World: Tyler & Dana are doing the challenge and they agree to work together (Tyler knows at this point Burnie & Ashley are his biggest competition and he's going to help the weaker teams to get them out so he and Korey will have a greater chance of winning.)
In the challenge they get a passport with 8 clues as to the places they need to visit within the park - at each exhibit they will put a provided sticker on the page of the passport and in the end if they are correct they'll get their next clue. They know about 6 of the clues/places right away but a couple are tricky.
Burnie & Ashley get there - Burnie is doing this Roadblock - and he's not too happy to see that Tyler & Dana are working together. But Burnie is a smarty pants and he gets all his stamps/places correct on his first attempt - even though he tried to confer with Dana & Tyler and they lied to him - they got one wrong and were already back out trying to correct it when Burnie finished. Sheri & Cole have shown up by this point and Sheri is doing this one (of course) and she's Sheri about it, "Oh, I don't know if I can do this..." Cole tells her to stay calm, don't cry, and Run!
So Burnie gets the next clue first, and they head for Lychee Park but Tyler & Korey & Matt & Dana catch up at the Subway station so they all get the clue to the DETOUR at roughly the same time: Commuter Cycle or Master of Arts.
Commuter Cycle is a motorized unicycle thing and the demonstrators and Phil make it look easy, and fun! They'll have to carry a briefcase and coffee while commuting to work.
Master of Arts: They'll get a series of paintings to deliver to a gallery where they will have to hang them to the specifications of the art dealer to get the next clue.
Tyler & Korey and Dana & Matt choose to deliver the paintings, while Burnie & Ashley choose the unicycle/scooter thing... and almost immediately regret it. First, they have to put on a business suit (you know how I enjoy the dress up challenges ;)) but the fun of dressing up can't improve their balance or help them master this thing any faster. After giving it a couple tries, Burnie & Ashley realize this is going to take too long and decide to switch tasks.
The delivering of the paintings has been going much smoother for Tyler & Korey and Dana & Matt, once they realize they have to hang the paintings in a specific way so they make up a cityscape. The two teams that have been working this one from the beginning have all figured it out but they had the spacing wrong on first inspection so they are working at re-spacing the paintings when Burnie & Ashley show up to start this task.
Sheri & Cole have also gotten to the Detour by now and they have chosen the unicycles - because if they are going out on this one, they might as well choose the challenge that sounds like fun.
-Cole was all in until his mom got the hang of it before he did - Sheri is much more capable of many things than she thinks she is - of course seeing Mom racing around gives Cole that competitive spark to really buckle down and get this thing done... even though it has started raining and that adds to the unicycle challenge since it's now slippery as well.
Tyler & Korey are the first to get the clue to the Pit Stop - the Shenzhen Library Terrace. Dana & Matt are right behind them. The race for the Pit Stop is between Burnie & Ashley who got through the painting challenge with no trouble, and Sheri & Cole who were behind from the Roadblock but finally got through the unicycle challenge. Everyone is heading for the Pit Stop.
Here's How They Finished:
1) Tyler & Korey - (Am I the only one sick of his laugh?) They won a place in the finale.
2) Dana & Matt - Surprisingly little arguing this leg, though she did have to give Matt grief on the way up the stairs to the mat (because everything is always his fault.)
3)... Sheri & Cole (WHAT?) I was shocked almost as shocked as Cole that they made it to the Pit Stop before Burnie & Ashley. Sheri & Cole must have horseshoes in uncomfortable places.
4) Burnie & Ashley - **ELIMINATED** I felt really bad for these two, they definitely are one of the stronger teams and that one critical error in the Detour choice cost them the Race.
With Burnie & Ashley being Eliminated, that takes Bob L., Susan N., Sharon R., Lindsay J., and Monica S. out of the pool.
Next week is the finale and they will be heading back to the United States. I'm rooting for Sheri & Cole - I hope these underdogs and Race karma can snatch the win from Tyler & Korey - they became the #Villains for me this leg.
So, here is who is in the running for the win in our pool:
Dana & Matt: Katie L., Lynne B., Alexis G., Emily H., and Ozzy R.
Sheri & Cole: Dylan R., Pat T., Cindi C., Philip K., and Carol-Anne D.
Tyler & Korey: Lois & Dave L., Patty F., Fraser G., Denise R., and Jeff T.
Good Luck to all!
Have a great week everyone,
