PREVIOUSLY ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:

Phil: Ten teams left Cai Be, Vietnam for Ho Chi Minh City. Marcy reflected. Lance and Keri battled. Sam and Justin crashed at their Detour. FlightTime/BigEasy tasted victory. Lance's smashing success at the Roadblock saved his bacon. Some lion. Ha! But Marcy/Ron were Philiminated.

Nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Faux airport drama to hide the fact that they're probably all leaving on the same morning flight.
Teams, one at a time, arrive at the airport and encounter traffic. TRAFFIC!
Looks like 12:25 pm departure for the first few teams, which is like 16 hours away or summat.
Lance is a ass a gain, telling Zev/Justin they're NOT in last.

Looks like 2:15 pm is the OTHER flight which the straggler teams get.
Lance/Keri, Zev/Justin, late flight two hours behind the first departure
Both teams ask for standby for the earlier flight

Teams arrive, rapidfire, at the FCC.
They ask around for the mysterious editor.
He's hiding behind a newspaper.
Assignment #1 goes to Sam/Dan, CLUE: This woman has a hotel suite named for her. (Jackie O)
Meghan/Cheyene 2nd
Phil: When they find the hotel where Jacqueline Onassis' suite is located, they get the next clue.

I don't think FlightTime was W H I S P E R I N G but he got the assignment/clue anyway.
Mika/Canaan fail to whisper "assignment" and get denied a clue for saying "task." Eventually they get it.
Teams ride tuk-tuks and taxis to where they think the woman's suite will be.
Mika/Canaan think it's Queen Elizabeth.
Another dolt it's some royalty from Cambodia or summat.

Zev/Justin, DETOUR. Cover or Wrap?
Cover: Locate helmet stand. Choose 4 helmets. Persuade local family of 4 to buy the 4 helmets for $10.
Wrap: Find Russian Market, find stalls 980-981, find scarf, find woman wearing identical scarf in the confusing marketplace.

mswood · « **Reply #42 on:** October 11, 2009, 08:09:18 PM »

Zev/Justin go to the Russian Market and try to find stalls 980, 981. Huge market, hundreds of stalls.

Teams quickly arrive at the right hotel, and 2nd, 3rd 4th 5th teams leave in a big sequence of rush.
Sam/Dan 2nd
Meg/Cheyene
FlightTime/BigEasy
Mika/Canaan

Zev/Justin realize their DETOUR choice could take awhile.
The Pokeresses choose Wrap thinking it'll be harder to sell 4 helmets to a family of 4. Umm... kay

Gary/Matt, Brian/Ericka falling toward the bottom of the pack despite knowing who Jackie O was.

Lots of teams choosing Wrap.
So far, nobody seems to be choosing Cover.

CLUE: TRAVEL ON FOOT to Wap Tol Wam Pong.
Sam/Dan 2nd.
The "on foot" part often trips some folks up.
Big Easy is like twice as tall as the locals in the market.

Zev/Justin, ROADBLOCK. Who's ready to go Bananas?
Phil: Monkeys are revered here. Monkey master trains dancers to behave like monkeys. One Racer must wear a mask and a tail, completing 3 maneuvers to the satisfaction of the Monkey Master.

mswood · « **Reply #48 on:** October 11, 2009, 08:17:26 PM »

The Monkey Master's standards aren't very exacting, are they!? Stumble in the right direction and you get credit for the monkey dance.

Teams wending their way through the market to find "a needle in a haystack." Exactly what these challenges are, Cheyne.

Team Jungle Fever finishes market in 3rd
Flight Time/ Big Easy 4th

Pokeresses just now getting to the market.

Zev is messing up the 3rd monkey dance, a little more than the first 2
He's got to try again.
Sam/Dan arrive at the Monkey dance.
Zev trips off the log again.
It's 2-2 now, with Zev tripping and falling.

Zebras arrive at Roadblock, and in a turnabout, Ericka will dance as Brian nags.

A pattern is forming: Tuk-tuks are slower than taxis. Not exactly shocking if you've been gallivanting around Africa!
Brian/Ericka leave RB in 4th
Megan/Cheyne done dancing
Lance/Keri begin dance.
Pokeresses still trying to find scarf lady in marketplace; finally they find her and make their way toward the RB
Mika/Canaan leave marketplace in last.

Woman: Welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Phil: Zev/Justin, you are team #1!
Both hi-5 each other.

Woman: Welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Phil: Sam/Dan, you are team #2.
Both: Oh, NO! NO!
Phil: FlightTime/BigEasy, you're team #3.

Uh-oh, Zev/Justin stop celebrating when they discover they've lost their passaportas.
"Are we DQ'd?"
Phil: What's going on, guys?
They don't know where they lost 'em.
Phil: You need your travel documents for onward travel. If you don't find them, you're out of the Race.
Both grimace.

Keri, dancing, tells Lance to shaddappa his facea.
He keeps yelling.
She tells him to shaddappa again.
She's got 2 out of 3.
Here come the Pokeresses.

Both are relieved.

Zev/Justin still in the cab, blaming selves for losing the one passport.

Zev conf: It was a freak thing. It just happened.

They climb the steps back to the Bathmat.

I never count them because they did it the wrong way and didn't read their clue. Then again, Zev & Justin admitted they didn't either, but Heather & Eve was just so blatant.

Hooky · « **Reply #79 on:** October 13, 2009, 12:49:41 AM »

I am really unhappy about Zev & Justin's elimination...it's scary to think that this could happen to any team, any time, without warning. But it always happens to the one's that have the most potential.

So frequently with the 9th Place elimination (I don't know why it happens), the team that is eliminated seems to be having an awesome leg, too good to be true. And then something extremely bad happens - and it's all over. Almost every team that gets eliminated here is just catching fire, just finding their pace, and then suddenly they are out. It's really sad.

It reminds me a lot of Lena & Kristy, Duke & Lauren, Mark & Bill, Debbie & Bianca and Heather & Eve. Some of these teams' best moments and placings were found in the very leg that they were eliminated.

To me this episode is going to go down in the books as one of the all-time classics for me (it sounds wrong, because of what happened). The pace was so precise, nothing was too imbalanced (except the Zev & Justin editing, but, hey, this is the last chance we have to watch them race), the tasks were good, and just the right amount of both physical and mental abilities for the teams to demonstrate. Even the music was amazing! I'm sure Garrett & Jessica wish they could have made it here.
