8:30 p.m. flight delayed.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #26 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:11:24 PM »

Kisha & Jen get to Guilin first.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #27 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:12:08 PM »

Tammy has nice pronunciation of Mandarin.

mswood · « **Reply #28 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:12:34 PM »

Tammy/Vic, 10:40.
Vic: China! I TOLD YOU! China!
Tammy: We've actually been there before!

Next flight is 1:15, Jaime/Cara get that one.
They take a connection leaving from somewhere, 8:30 pm.
They don't think anyone else can make their flights.

KQ!
YAY!!! Kenya Airways flies between Bangkok and China!
They also get the 8:30 conne ction through Guangzhou.

Kisha/Jen, 12:30 pm -ish.
Conf / FORESHADOWING: Jen, "If somebody gets in my way I'll knock 'em over!"
Their connection to Guilin will be 9:10 pm.

Teams progressively later, and later, until ...

Mark/Michael, 4:08 pm.
They probably can't make anythhing that'll get 'em there the same day as the rest.
But they'll try.

Meanwhile, in Guangzhou, a FLIGHT DELAY EQUALIZES Margie/Luke and Tammy/Vic.
Jen/Kisha also appear in the airport, although their plane leaves after the other two.
Basically 3 teams in same airport in same half-hour span of time.

Kisha/Jen actually get to Guilin in 1st! It's late, though, pushing 11 or 12 at night I think.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #30 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:13:38 PM »

Tammy & Victor have the home language advantage, but their taxi driver does not know where to go.

mswood · « **Reply #31 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:14:48 PM »

Tammy yammers away to the cabbie in Mandarin.
Margie conf: Luke would like to go where all the people are deaf, so he would have an advantage!

Jaime/Cara all the way down to 4th.

MORNING.
Kisha/Jen head for the hair salon, in 1st.
They stop for directions.
But right behind them is the Tammy/Vic cab.
They think their cab driver knows where it is.
But he doesn't.

Jaime/Cara get there first.
ROUTE INFO: Travel to the #24 bridge on the banks of the Li River for next clue.

Tammy/Vic arrive in 2nd soon after them.

First blowout coming.

Footballwife · « **Reply #33 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:16:26 PM »

Jen initiated that one IMO!

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #34 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:16:50 PM »

Luke says Jen pushed him.

Jen says Luke elbowed her.

It's a wash there.

No one thought to check flight delays thru guangzhou...? darn

georgiapeach · « **Reply #36 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:17:46 PM »

I think it was just two people trying to get there at the same time....

mswood · « **Reply #37 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:18:25 PM »

Jaime/Cara play it safe and follow Tammy/Vic's cab to the Bridge.

Mark/Michael just landed.
"Very optimistic."

Margie/Luke and Kisha/Jen taxis are getting directions together.
Kisha: We don't trust them. They've given us wrong directions before.

:shocked:

Margie conf: Luke's competitiveness is a surprise to me! I've never seen him this competitive before!

There it is ... the cluebox.

Margie/Luke run.
Kisha/Jen walk right past the cluebox.
So does Luke.
They see it simultaneously.
CHARGE!
COLLISION!
Jen: Bitch!
Luke conf: She pushed me!
Jen conf: He body checked me with an elbow, a bitch move.
Kisha: He elbowed her twice!
Margie to Luke: She called you a bitch!
Luke conf: Good thing I'm deaf. If I had heard her call me a bitch, it would have been ON!

COMMERCIAL.

DrRox · « **Reply #38 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:19:30 PM »

Pretty amazing that they both walk around the clue box before finding it.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #39 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:19:51 PM »

Luke is ready get it on. Margie says don't.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #40 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:20:07 PM »

Comorant fishing!

puddin · « **Reply #41 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:20:42 PM »

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #42 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:21:43 PM »

Second blowout.

mswood · « **Reply #43 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:21:54 PM »

Margie/Luke and Kisha/Jen leave the joust in 3rd and 4th, respectively.

Kisha: Bad sportsmanship on their part. We're definitely u-turning them now. Game on, bitches.

Tammy/Vic, CLUE: ROADBLOCK.
Phil: One member takes part in Guilin's fishing industry. Take a raft to the middle of the river. Train a cormorant to fish 10 times for the next clue.
Tammy will do it.
Jaime/Cara arrive in 2nd.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #44 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:22:19 PM »

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #45 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:24:35 PM »

Mark & Mike must wash hair for their speed bump

mswood · « **Reply #46 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:24:40 PM »

Mark/Michael finally in a cab.

Luke signs, Jen is behind us now!
The cabs are neck and neck.
ANOTHER FOOTRACE!
ANOTHER COLLISION!
JEN GOES FLYING!

Jen conf: He carried me into the footrace.
Kisha runs into the simis at the cluebox, with Margie hot on her heels.
Margie: Kisha! Cut it out!
(Cut what out!?)
Kisha: That was unacceptable! Unacceptable!

In the boat, Kisha/Jen tell Vic about the "fight" at the cluebox.
Jaime/Cara get a nice confessional about the Cormorant task.
Kisha conf: Jen's ready for fowl play!
Luke is going to train the birds.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #47 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:25:07 PM »

Mark claims his dad was a hair stylist.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #48 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:25:46 PM »
