A Fall Sunday night, means another leg of The Amazing Race! In a first, the pit stop moved while the teams were aboard it, Bassac 3 Riverboat. I didn’t hear how much money they got for this leg of the race but here is the order and times each team left the pit stop.
1 Gary & Matt 545am
2 Sam & Dan 555am
3 Globe 556am
4 Lance & Keri 557am
5 Zev & Justin 604am
6 Meg & Cheyne 610am
7 Maria & Tiffany 611am
8 Mika & Canaan 614am
9 Marcy & Ron 615am
10 Brian & Erika 629am
The teams had to travel to Ho Chi Minh City and search for golden dragon water puppet theater. Once there they had to grab the clue from mouth. Which was not easy,you have to be quick! The clue was a bullet w/ stamp inside and nothing else. The teams needed to figure out they were looking for building on stamp Ho Chi Mihn city post office, for next clue. Almost everyone figured out quickly the clue but not Lance & Keri. They didn’t even see the stamp inside the bullet & even when they did, they were still confused.
Once the teams made it the post office clue, it was time for a Detour (a choice of 2 tasks) In this detour they could choose Child Play – @ a local park, the teams had to transport a concert animal around the park while collecting 5 balloons from vendors. Once all balloons had been collected them teams had to deliver them to play area for next clue. The other choice, which only Marcy & Ron chose was Word Play – From a hotel observation deck ,they had to scan crowded intersection below. Once they spotted the 6 letters moving around below, they could then go ask locals to help figure out the word. Doc Lap , word of indepence, was what they needed to figure out.
The standing after the detour were:
1 – Trotters
2 – Meg & Cheyne
3 – Matt & Gary
4 – Sam & Dan
5 - Brian & Erika
6 – poker
7 – Zev & Justin
8 – Lance & Keri
9 – Mika & Can
10 – Marcy & Ron
From the detour they headed off to the Road Block at Dien Co 008 @ intersection Durong Vinh Vien & Durong Ly Thurong Kiet. In this Road Block (a task only 1 team member can complete) they had to take apart 2 VCRs and put the parts in the correct piles. Flight – Cheyne – Matt - Brian – Sam – Tiffany – Justin – Canaan – Lance (who used mostly his hands) – Ron represented for their teams.
After the road block the standings were:
1Trotter
2 Cheyne
3 Matt
4 Sam
5 Brian
6 Tiffany
7 Canaan
8 Lance
9 Justin
10 Ron

They didn’t tell us what the starting money was this week. Sorry to see Ron and Marcy Philiminated. Love team Zebra picking their own name… Interlocking fingers to make stripes was a nice touch too. Hope Team Boil (as in Lance that boil) is gone soon. Previews for next week look great… Nothing like major screw-ups to make things interesting.
Sorry to see Ron and Marcy go too… but, I don’t think they got the concept of R-A-C-E. Glad the Globetrotters came in first. They have some class, as do the Surfers Meg & Cheyne. Mr. Zebras got to chill out and so does one of the Brothers. Love the nickname Team Boil… how appropriate. I was going to come up with something lame like Team Lion. Can’t stand that guy, but he’s got to stay on for the good of the show. I think this year we will see a heart attack based on the actions of some of the contestants. Great Show and Nice Recap! Thanks!
