As part of the premier, we got 2 hours tonight, the second destination was Vietnam. After leaving the pit stop several of the teams went to a local hotel and booked flights from there. But Brian/Erika , Gary/Matt, Cheyne/ Meg, and the poker girls went the to airport,were a guy outed the girls real jobs. No one was very happy to find out they had been lying about helping homeless teens. The second flight ended up landing only a half hour later. Once they got there they discovered the streets were completely flood to add to their troubles.
From the airport they had to take a taxi to the bus station. Bus 1 had the Maria & Tiffany, Sam & Dan ,Globetrotters, Mika & Cannan, and Marcy & Ron. The 2nd bus was not scheduled to leave for another hour after the first bus. All the teams on that bus put in $100 to buy up the rest of the seats so they could leave early. But it didn’t really pay off, once they got to task & it was closed and would open at 7am. With all teams caught up they had some dinner, hung out and got to know each other.
The next morning the race was back on! The teams had to go to mud pits by boats using a map. Once there they had to dig mud out of the river bed & fertilize a near by fruit tree covering root system to marked red line. The poker gals had to complete their speed bump first before starting the mud pits. They find a marked soup stand, collect ingredients to make the soup to the dock master liking. They mange to get it quickly, as Maria had it many times before. Everyone got really muddy & it was pretty funny. Megan & Cheyne were done 1st. Garrett & Jessica 2nd -Brian & Ericka 3rd – Gary & Matt 4th- globetrotters 5th - Sam & Dan 6th – Marcy & Ron 7th – lance & Keri 8th – zev & Justin,who jumped over boat & fell in water, lost clue had to go back, it was on side of boat 9th – Mika & Canaan 10th -Maria & Tiffany 11th which was last.
Next up they had to return the boats and then by foot head off to Dai Be Field for the next clue. Which this time is a road block: a task only 1 member of the team can complete. In this road block they had to help rid the rice patties of damage insects w/ ducks. The team member, using flags had to get 150 ducks over a bridge & back in their pen under 10 mins. If they do not get it in the time limit, they give up spot & let next team try. Sam, Matt, Gary, Zev and Tiffany all had a really easy time completing the task. But Jessica, Megan, and Ericka all had a really hard time & had to try more than once. Sam and Ben were the first to complete the road block and head to the pit stop for this leg of the race: Bassac 3 Riverboat .

hello
Two things…the “Pinky and the Brain” reference was awesome!! It’s ALWAYS fun to see how the teams’ nicknames come about. And, of course…beware the “Duck Whisperer”!! lol
Great job on the recaps! Thanks for doing them. A couple of suggestions. Have you concidered including the start times and starting money for the legs? Somehow I always miss this info even when I make a point of trying to pay attention to it.
I remember thinking $100 each to get the bus to leave early seemed high. Given that they were only 2 legs in I wasn’t sure they could have built up that much extra money so I went to a currency calculator to see what that was in dong. (Hee Hee. He said dong). Well 100 dong is about half a cent so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t 100 dong. On the other hand $100 is over 1.7 million dong so that would make that bus driver a Vietnamese multi-millionaire. Maybe this is a question for Ross @ insidedish to ask Garrett & Jessica.
I just want to say… former Miss America wore a yellow thong. you will see it during the duck round-up competition.
Great recaps I read before iwatch show lol
Its great to know If I miss I can easily&quickly get to whats going on

I made a note to myself!
