S/A continue to the roadblock  :groan:

7 Bottles Up: dive underneath the sea and get a bottle. Assemble a map to pitstop.

Great stand-up from Phil as always  :wohoo:

Looks like Jordan's going to come in first.

Brent/Caite find their missing coconut. Looks like Jet/Cord dropped one.  :ascared

The lesbians bald snark.

Steve/Allie decided to plod on ... apparently they'll run the leg first and worry about their packs later.

Steve/Allie, ROADBLOCK.
Phil: Different kind of treasure map. It's underwater. A team member must find a submerged case of 7 bottles, untie it below the water, and bring it up to the surface. The Map then leads them to the Pitstop. Last team to check in may be eliminated.

Steve's the swimmer. He takes off for the submerged bottles, marked with a buoy.
Allie sees the brothers approaching.
Jordan in 2nd will do the swimming.
Jordan: It's really deep!   
He drops the bottle as he lets it free, then has to swim down to the very bottom to retrieve it.

Ox update: Cops going one way, pass Brent/Caite going the other way.
Caite: This is so unfair!
They pick up their coconuts and reload the cart with what they think is the rest of 'em.
Jet/Cord finally take off.

Meanwhile ...
The Lesbians have changed Detours and are now in LAST with what may be a broken ox.

S/A check in without their bags? Looks like they only need their passports. Huh?  :umn:

Prize from 7-up.

D/J check in 2nd.

J/C bypass B/C, but the cowboys have one coconut  :groan:

Grr, I'm going to get hit again this round.

Steve has the map!  They try to make sense of it.

Jordan still messing with bottles, jumping back in the water.

Allie thinks she's going to faint!  

RUN! RUN!  

Dreadlocked man: Welcome to Seychelles!
Phil: Steve/Allie, you're team #1.  
Steve: We have no backpacks!  
Phil: In the spirit of seven, 7-Up is giving you an  uplifting reward.  Now, you'll dine oceanside and get massages.  Later, you get $7,000 each and all the 7-Up you can drink!
Allie: God has a plan ...

Can I just state how incredible stupid it was to get rid of almost all your possessions.

Idiotic.

Yeah hope they don't need anything.  Like pants or shirts (which are required to fly in most places, or if they end up going somewhere where the weather is going to really hurt them.  Lets go to Siberia....

Phil: Dan/Jordan, you're Team #2.

In 3rd, Louie/Michael "hit the waves."
Brent/Caite still ahead of the Cowboys, but not by much.
Now, not at all.
One oxcart is broken ... still!
Cowboys pass Brent/Caite.  
Brent/Caite pass them back in the narrow street.
Brent/Caite narrowly beat them to the CLUE in 4th.
Man to Cowboys: YOU DID NOT LOAD ALL YOUR COCONUTS.
Oh, ****! Cowboys don't have ALL the coconuts, and have to go back!  
Jet: We thought we should just convince him that we did.  
Cord: Oh, my gravy.

Lesbians, back at the loading point, also seem to have missed a coconut.  
Either that, or the camera showed the Jet/Cord missing coconut.  One or the other.  We'll see.

Boat passing ... Brent/Caite pass the Cops.

Carol/Brandy going in one direction pass Cowboys in the other direction.
Cowboys get their one missing coconut and put it in the cart.

Carol/Brandy arrive.
Man: YOU DID NOT LOAD ALL THE COCONUTS.
Lesbians: YES WE DID!
Man: NO YOU DID NOT LOAD ALL THE COCONUTS.
Lesbians: Noo ... We have to go back!? We're done! We're done!


COMMERCIAL.

The cowboys don't usually make mistakes, but 3 out of 5 teams leaving a coconut behind is pretty dumb.

I'd agree -- however, I suspect that Steve & Allie had a good idea where they left their backpacks.  They didn't have them during the walk to the market, so they probably figured that they left it at the Turtle Toddle area.  So they probably went back and got the backpacks.

When did Dandrew lose their clothes, they lost shoes and spent a huge amount buying new ones, so much that they got held up by a taxi because they couldn't pay the fare.

I honestly don't remember any team loses their clothes and all their supplies, the closest would be the penalty for being last on a non elimination.  BJ & Tyler for example depended on friends and locals as well as lost and founds at teh hotel.

Only problem with this is on most legs when you heck into the Pit Stop you aren't allowed to leave the Pit Stop.  Its incredible stupid.

They had not only an hour lead over three teams but a few minutes over the next two teams.  They could have easily back tracked and most likely at worst finished third.
