[mswood]

I will be cheating on you tonight over at sucks.

Am a man, what can I say.  Were dogs.  Dogs, I tell you.

[puddin]

I wouldnt call it cheating , lol

Phil: Five teams left Oman. BJT left with no money and were helped by some teams, but not MoJo. BJT conf: They better watch out. On the plane, teams were overconfident but changed their tune when the hippies showed up. MoJo got lost, argued on the way to the Detour, while Fran/Barry encouraged each other. But they then fell behind - no taxi! At the Roadblock, Fran had trouble navigating while other teams rose to the task. After a tension filled leg in Oman, RaYo got on track and narrowly missed elimination. Fran&Barry arrived last, were eliminated

[puddin]

Phil: This is Perth, Australia, located on the western coast, at the edge of the Indian Ocean. The Fremantle Sailing Club, the 9th pitstop in a race around the world.

Will tension between BJT and MoJo continue?
After struggling at the back, can RaYo fight out of last?

Eric/J, 11:47 p, CLUE: Make your way to the Swan Bells.
Phil: This copper and glass structure over the river houses 18 church bells marking the Australian bicentennial. Here they will find the next clue.

MoJo, 11:48 p, depart.
J: Teams getting mean toward each other.
Mo, conf: No holds barred.

Teams call two taxis.

BJ/T, 11:56 p, depart. $70 for this leg.
Conf: We told them we'd yield them if they didn't leave us money in Oman. We've not deceived them.

Hippies join the two lead teams
Joe: Oh. Hippies. Let's wait over there. Taxi for Joseph?
Monica: We called two more taxis, guys.
(LIAR!)
Of course, Tyler knows she's bull****ting.
Tyler borrows a dude's phone and summons a cab.

RayYo, 12:23 am, depart.
Yo conf: We're still Ray and Yolanda enjoying the game, but we're also learning about each other.
Ray finds a taxi instantly.

Monica: Swan Bells. This is it. Oh. Opens at 8 am.
Joe: Oh, man!
Monica: Cheap place to stay around here?
Local dude: You can stay at my joint for FREE! 
Joe: Let's just hang out here.

Eric/J, MoJo, greet the hippies halfheartedly.
Ray/Yo pull up as they anticipate a couple of hours shuteye.

Eric/J snark on Ray.
"He's on a short leash."
Eric: I don't let Jeremy out of the house.   
Tyler, conf: If we can just put a wedge betwen these two teams that have allied with each other ...


Morning.

Teams call from a phone booth to reserve taxis.
Eric: The name is Doug Brubaker.
Jeremy: Tyler put his name under Tyler?
Jeremy picks up the phone.
"I want to cancel the cab for Tyler." 
"Under the name Ray? Cancel."
Eric: Thanks alot, Jeremy!
J: They should have used fake names. That's their fault.

At 8, teams race upstairs and get the CLUE.
They race backdown and open them.
CLUE: Find the city of Darwin, Australia.
Phil: Named after naturalist Charles Darwin. They'll find marked cars, drive to a croc farm, and wade among crocodiles for their next clue.

Teams race toward where they *think* a taxi will be waiting.
BJ gets into the "Joseph" cab.
Joe: NO! I'm Joseph. GET OUT, GUYS. Are you kidding me?
BJ and Tyler argue whether they should have left the taxi to Joe.
"Yeah. Not worth a million dollars to piss someone off." 

Eric/Jeremy accidentally cancelled their cab!
Ray gets on the phone ... finds out someone cancelled.
Yo: We called for one.
Eric: We called for one too!
Ray: Must have been MoJo because none of us have a taxi.
Yo: The man said all our taxis had been cancelled.
Ray: Just got personal. It's a whole new game now.
BJ/T get a cab.
Ray/Yo finally find a cab, leave in 3rd.
Eric/Jeremy stand, then walk, tring to find one.
In traffic, all the cabs are full!
Jeremy: I think it's called "Karma." Karma just bit us in the ass.

COMMERCIAL.
 

[puddin]

big kiss ? say what?

[puddin]

 

[puddin]

E/& ask where they can find one; guy directs them to the hotel. They get one, and take off in last.

In the cab, they laugh that MoJo will take the blame for the taxis being cancelled.

Joe: Game's getting dirty now! I hope we get those hippies gone!

Tyler: Apparently Joseph cancelled everyone's cabs. When YIELD season comes, they will be 'the hunted.'

Ray, in cab: We hope they get into a pool of crocodiles.
Yolanda: Will they?

Joe asks a man at a ticket counter: How do we get to Darwin quickest?
Man: What's it worth?
Joe: A million dollars.
Man, pointing to himself: NO. To ME!
Joe: A kiss from her! 

Ray saunters up to the counter behind Joe.
Ray: SOMEONE CANCELLED MY CAAABBB ...
Joe: Someone cancelled your cab?
Ray smirks.
Eric/Jeremy smirk.
They rank on Monica.
Man gives them tickets to Darwin, 12:15 plane.
BJT get same plane.
Ray&Yo get same plane.
Eric&J, same plane.
EQUALIZER.

Darwin, 7:30 pm arrival.
Tyler: Wow! It's warm here!
The four teams run for marked cars.
Monica: Crocodylus Park. CLOSED! OPEN 9 AM.
 

The other three teams drive up and see the same sign.
J: It's closed.
Monica: Duh.
T: I hear you're keen on Monica?
Eric: I'll put some meat around Joseph so he gets attacked by crocs, which will put my plan into effect!

DAYBREAK.
Sign: Crocs bite!
Big ones .. medium sized ones ... snapping!
They put on protective pants.
Yo: Better than those Leiderhosen. 
Man: Don't put your hands near the water!
Teams enter thru a fence, one team at a time.
Ugh.
E/J, then Rayo, wade thru snapping crocs to grab suspended CLUES.
First, BJT: Drive yourselves to the town of Batchelor.
Phil: Here, search for the airfield with the next clue.
CLUE: CAUTION! YIELD AHEAD!
Phil: One team can force any other team to YIELD. Must turn hourglass, wait for sand, yadda, yadda.

MoJo leave in 2nd.
E/J, 3rd, RaYo, slowly walking thru the crocs, Last.

BJ/T agree to YIELD MoJo if they get there first.
MoJo know, and pass BJ/T "over 120."
Tyler: Keep up! Give it some gas! A right! Here! Ready! Jump out!

TWO TEAMS RUN FOR IT ....
BJ/T get there first! 
T: We choose to YIELD MoJo.
Joe: Get off the thing so we can turn it!

ROADBLOCK: Who's ready to take the fall for their team?
Phil: Must climb 12,000 feet in the plane and skydive to the mark below.
Monica: No fair. We were here first.
Eric/J: We'll get 'em, guys!
Ray/Yo arrive in last while MoJo steam.
Ray will skydive.
Joe: Be quiet. Nothing to cry about.
Monica: I'm not crying. You don't have to be so mean to me.
Joe: Grow up.
Monica: Leave me alone!

 

COMMERCIAL.

[Kogs]

question why cant mojo yield eric and jeremy right now?

[Kogs]

the hipppies are going to fry the hippies are going to fry high hoe the stereo the hippies will be fried. 

[bethgio33]

because there is only one yield to be used

[puddin]

Batchelor was right Slowhatch ! Same goes for the Bell Towers Chateau !!

[Kogs]

congrats to ray on doing his 6th roadblock. now yolannda has todo the rest however much longer there in da race

[puddin]

bully Rockhole !! one for me !!

[puddin]

MoJo's beautiful picture adorns the YIELD.
Joe: The worst we'll do here is #2.
Taunting them, Tyler: If I was Yielded, I'd feel just awful!
Beej prepares to jump.
Monica: My ass.
Eric and Ray take off in their planes.
Joe: Cheer up.
Monica: I don't want to cheer up. I'm doing fine.
Tyler, looking up: Great way to see Australia!

Yolanda and Jeremy share "pleasantries."
Jeremy: If you were single, you'd be in trouble with me.
Yo: Oh, yeah? 

BJt, CLUE: Drive yourselves to Litchfield Nat'l Park.
Phil: Find the magnetic termite mound. Each mound points to magnetic north, away from the harsh sun.

Monica and Joe continue to argue as their sand finally runs out.

Joe: Go! Don't screw it up now.
Monica will skydive.

Eric lands.
Ray dives. Ray does a major wipeout!
Yo laughs.
Ray, snirking: It's not funny!

Sign: Termite Mounds, 500m Ahead!

BJT, CLUE: DETOUR.
Dry, or Wet?
Phil: Wet, drive 6 miles to a park. Once there, hike and swim a mile down a jungle river inhabited by spiders and poisonous plants.
Dry, drive 6 miles to an intersection, then another 6 miles offroad, to the "Lost City." Pick up a digeridoo. Find the aborigine. Pattern must match each digeridoo. Once you have successfully (each) played a note, you get the next CLUE.
Monica shrieks as she jumps.
Joe snarks on the ground.
They take off, in last place.

Second to the termite mounds, E/J.
Eric finds the cluebox quickly.
They choose wet.
Ray/Yo find the clue, and choose Dry.
Yo: See? I don't know how to swim!   
Cue standardized non-swimmer thread now.

BJ/T chose Wet, now hiking down a rocky trail.
E/J join them on the trail.
They know they're close behind BJ/T, and try to make up for lost time.

Monica/Joe stop and ask directions.
Woman: 22 k's that way. Can't miss it.
Joe: 22 k's?
Monica: One team is 40 minutes in front of us. That'll probably be it for us.

COMMERCIAL.

[puddin]

Joe: If we pick our Detour carefully, we can catch up.
Monica: Those hippies are sleazeballs!

Hippies slip and fall in the wet rocky river.
Beej: This is taking wayy too long!
Joe: Wet sounds tough. Let's do an instrument.

Yo: We're here. Lost City.
Ray (hinting at his rapper background): I did it all. I'm musically inclined!
Yo, reading CLUE: Choose one (digeridoo) per team.
Ray hears the aborigine playing.
Yo: If ours doesn't match his? Nope. Not the same.
They'll look for another aborigine.

BJ/T struggle and try to avoid huge spider webs dotting the landscape. Ugh!
Jeremy: Frickin spider!
Beej: Hope those things don't bite! 

Ray/Yo find the matching digeridoo!
Y: Show us how to play.
Ray toots pathetically.
FInally he seems to have the lip blubbble right.
Dude approves the note.
Next, Yo tries.
She sounds like she's farting. 
Man approves laughingly.
CLUE: Drive yourselves to the next pitstop.
Phil: Lake Bennett, in the bushland, the next pitstop. Last team to check in here may be eliminated.

[puddin]

MoJo pass RayYo going the opposite way on the same road.
BJ/T swim painfully through a mucky river.
Eric/Jeremy are within sight of the hippies!
Yolanda directs Ray by use of a map.
Stewart Highway ...
Ray: Back to Darwin?
Yo: Yeah!

Joe picks up a digeridoo. It's the right one. Matches, tries to make sounds. The local smirks as he toots a note. Monica next, does it. Off they go, currently in 2nd.

Monica: A good detour to pick. All we have to do is find the right road and not mess up.

BJ/T finish the course in 3rd.
Just behind them, E/J finish in 4th.
Yo: It's called Lake Bennett Wilderness Resort.
Dude does a rope trick.
Local: Welcome to Darwin.
Phil: Ray/Yolanda, you are team #1.
Yo: Yeah!!
Phil: You have both won a 1-year lease of a Mercedes M-Class. You'll enjoy that after the race.
Ray: Will the wheel be on the right?
Phil: All set up for Americans!
Ray: I got a Benz! 
Eric: I feel like a dead-on sprint with the hippies.
Joe driving, getting directions.
Jeremy asks directions.
Beej and Tyler ask directions from a different driver, a cop!
They skid thru the muck.
Teams now in sight of each other.
BJ/T, then MoJo.
Monica: We're in it!
Eric: It's MoJo? Oh, crap.
Tyler: We got MoJo on our tails!
Joe is upset.

Sign: Stewart Highway.
BJ: Wanna pass?
Tyler: Stay right there.
Jeremy: Can Ray/Yo be ahead of us?
Tyler: If Ray/Yo were first, one of these teams will be LAST!

Teams turn down a smaller road.
Teams drive bumper to bumper.
Teams know it's gonna be a footrace.
Monica: I dunno if I can beat the hippies!
Joe: Get out and RUN!

TEAMS HAUL ASS! 


THREE TEAMS ... RUNNING AND YELLING! 



First to the mat: Jeremy. Joe, then Monica.
Monica, happy: YOU YIELDED US !!!

Man: G'day. Welcome to Darwin.
Phil: Eric/Jeremy, you're team #2. Joseph/Monica, you're team #3. BJ/Tyler, you're the last team to arrive. I'm pleased to tell you, however, this is a non-elimination leg and you're still in the Amazing Race. Of course, you don't have a lot left.
Tyler: Less to lose.
Phil: With a million dollars waiting for one team, it's different now.
Monica: They're starting rumors and being nasty!
Joe conf: We want to drive BJ/T into the ground.
BJ: We got everything taken away except the clothes on our back. But we're gonna win this race!

[puddin]

Next week : feast for monkeys, MoJo break down ...........could be BJT/RaYo going for the Fast Forward ??

[Kogs]

Next week : feast for monkeys, MoJo break down ...........could be BJT/RaYo going for the Fast Forward ??

agreed, ill go 1 further team that backs out gets eliminated

[bethgio33]

wow!  what a show!  I guess I put too much thought into it and twisted it around. should have stuck with my first decisions.

[Rob]

I FRIGGING HATE MoJo. I was hoping her chute wasn't going to open!!

Rob

[Kogs]

why no love for mojo? they play a clean game 

[mswood]

Seriously does he get to have his shoes back.

Because I think he shouldn't.  THey aren't on his body.

And I don't think many places will let him on a plane with out some footwear, will they?

[bethgio33]

maybe this is where the blue adidas come into play

[supsandalee]

BJ/T are just too nice. When the hypocrite Barbie was bashing them they didn't say nothing. In fact, Tyler actually looked a little embarressed or hurt. Guess he's not use to people being such assholes to his face.
I'd be like "and who canceled cabs for everyone else bee-atch?

[tarbuckeye]

I agree....Blue Adidas on BJT!!!

[puddin]

I agree....Blue Adidas on BJT!!!

and just looking at next weeks promo , did they win the Fast Forward ? I don't see them at the Roadblock feeding the monkeys ! right Sups !!!!!!!!!

[bethgio33]

yea puddin, wishful thinking, go look at ep 11 spoilers thread.  it looks like it the frat boys with the shoes

 

[puddin]

no matter , if BJT win the Fast Forward they should be final 3 right ? All I want is for BJT or E&J to win this and be in the final 3 with whoever . What if its Eric & a Hippie in Alaska ? together ..ya know ?

[supsandalee]

I've been thinking all along that it was E/J seen in Alaska and when they get mugged in Tokyo they will buy grey sweaters at the airport when they hear they are heading to Alaska!!!

[never0102]

Correct me if i am wrong, but i didnt see Monica cancell any cabs.

And clearly some people have never seen RW/RR but MOJO called that fake ass Hippies out on the **** they have given her about flirting with Eric[thats like first grade level by the Hippies] and they had no response meaning it was true and they felt like dumbasses.   At least MOJO isnt fake and just says get away while the hippies try to say "sorry" when they are bashing MOJO in their car, at least MOJO is honest they havnt lied or ever been hypocrites.  I also dont remember Monica and Jo ever mentioning the yield they just said they wanted to beat the hippies.

But as you all prolly know i dont give a **** about any of these teams [i think they all suck] i am just counting the days for the next season [hopefully a All Star]. But i am a MOJO camper.

And the Yields have a actually good affect this season to me the two yield episodes were the best this season and its really because the yield had a impact on either the game or the way teams treated each other.

Also aside from Rob and Amber, the team that yields in the final four wins [Chip and Kim, Fred and Kendra, The Linzs] and the yielded team made the final three.

You're right Monica didn't but Jo was knee deep in it. She just tried to come off as them playing clean which doesn't look the case. And we never know if they didn't turn around and also cancel E/J's cab since Jo heard the name they used. (Ray said the cab company said all the other cabs had been cancelled).

I actually liked MoJo until recently but they had to go badmouthing the hippies. Since Lake is gone I have to have someone to throw the remote at!

TTOW!!!!! 

[rmax]

Not sure where to discuss since it's no longer live, but here goes...

Who said the title?  I don't remember hearing it.

I was liking MoJo until these past two legs (remember the insider where Yolanda, I think, said that they seem like nice people but they're not really?), but I think the worst sleazes in this Race are Eric/Jeremy.  Apparently they fed the feud between MoJo and the Hippies, and canceling the cabs, that's plain rotten.  Shouldn't they have been penalized for interfering with other teams, or was it because it backfired that they weren't?

I would have taken the Wet detour thinking it would be faster and I would have been so wrong!  Who would have guessed?  So glad RaYo won a leg, but now I fear it will be First to Worst for them in the next leg (if they go for the FF and miss it, that would put them behind).

The Hippies won't have trouble getting money, so BJ can guy some new shoes.  Kind of dumb of him not to put them on in the car (Tyler was driving, right?)

[woden]

rmax, Eric said the title after they canceled the cabs.

also, BJ was driving -- apparently barefoot, unless he was wearing flipflops or somehting that came off while running...

[gator27]

also, BJ was driving -- apparently barefoot, unless he was wearing flipflops or something that came off while running...

Next time, BJ should use the foot bridge instead of trying to run across the rocks.

[Jeffrey Scott]

They deserve to be eliminated if he was wearing flip-flops in a race!

I dont think there is any rule against it.  The rule is like you cant slash other teams tires ect.  and Again it would have been Eric to be penalized not MOJO.

[Jeffrey Scott]

Is there one more non-elim leg left?

[Kogs]

in the 2 hour finale, but is it a nel or a superleg with a over night rest stop somewhere.

[Jeffrey Scott]

Yea, I was wondering that myself.

[Hi-Fi]

The frat boys cancelled the taxis but Mojo were there too, giggling, as an ally team would do. They are hypocrites!! And Monica is  as dumb as she is annoying! God I hope thery're out next week!!! I hate them!

[qing_her]

I beg to disagree.
It was not right for anybody to tell you that they will do something bad at you if you do not do them a favor.
And that's what the Hippies did!

Think of it, this is a COMPETITION!
It's just part of the game... we help you or not,we will still have to race against each other.
It's just MoJo's decision not to give BJT money, and BJT did what..

OK we'll Yield you!

BJT are not showing their smartness by telling it right in MoJo's face!

---
For me, RaYo played the race the cleanest...
MoJo at second

BJT & Fratboys are just NASTY!
