And we're back. Vanessa & Ralph's cab driver changed the tire very quickly. Brenchel now are on their way to the roadblock.

Nary & Jamie caught up to Vanessa & Ralph. They're literally behind them. Nary & Jamie have to complete their speedbump. They have to properly set up an art stand based on this guide.

Vanessa & Ralph are on their way to the roadblock.

Rachel is doing the roadblock.

Rachel: I have to keep them (the bees) nice and confused. :lol3: I was using the smoke like perfume. :lol3: Oh my goodness Rachel is hilarious.

Brendon & Rachel are team #4. Rachel: DOUBLE U-TURN THAT! :jam:

Ralph does the roadblock.

Nary & Jamie's art stand gets approved. They now proceed to the roadblock.

For the first time in the history of the U-Turn Era of TAR, the U-Turn's 100% kill rate is no longer 100%!
Every reality star is someone's favorite

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

Ralph finishes the roadblock and they are team #5. Vanessa & Ralph can't believe they're still on The Amazing Race. I can't either. :lol:

Nary did the roadblock. And they're the last team to arrive. And now they've been eliminated from the race. :( I really like their t-shirts. "I'm with my B.F.F." :hrt:

As a sign of how much harder this season is than some other recent seasons, Nary & Jamie's Speedbump is the final task from Season 18.

Nary & Jamie  :(
I'm happy Bopper & Mark finally got a first place finish and Brendon & Rachel surviving the U-Turn!!   :tup:  Vanessa & Ralph - not so much.

Next week on The Amazing Race...

Art & JJ are still mad at Davechel for the U-Turn non-drama. :res:

Mark has a Bollywood meltdown in India. :'( I'm guessing it's a dancing roadblock? Those are brutal. :(

Meh. Dave needs to stand up and pretty much tell them to shut up, which explaining that this isn't Survivor, and there can only be one winner.  That, and the meaninglessness of  a U-Turn when there may be another set of U-Turns left.

Next week looks like the final NEL; figured that would come on 4/29, but whatever.

The roadblock seemed like a recycled task (same bee farm?) from the TAR 5 detour as none of the teams chose to do it that season.

Man the finishing order sure switched up a lot this week. Has there ever been a time when the order was identical to the previous leg?


Also, had Art & J.J. chosen the other detour, they probably could have won this leg and spared us the whining.

I think I would have rather heard whining instead of gloating. :tup:

This shows poor leg planning. Nary & Jamie were so behind, even the u-turn didn't allow them to catch up.

Also, I think the Speed Bump was too difficult.

I think the Speed Bump was too difficult.

I agree, especially compared to other Speed Bumps. This one would've taken much more time than running across a field of fireworks (TAR12), sitting in a saunabus or drinking the absinthe (TAR15) and almost all other Speed Bumps, except Kynt & Vyxsin's and Ken & Tina's. :tup:

I don't like how some Speed Bumps tend to be so easy and others waste a lot of time. :(

My thoughts:

- i loved the drive through Ngorongoro Crater!!!!   :hrt:
- unfair that Nary and Jamie didn't get a chance to catch up
- SO GLAD THE MOPPER WON A LEG!!!!!!  :hearts:
- Davechel are getting a 'nice guys' edit
- Detour was decent, RB was a bit too easy.. but good enough  :tup:
- so sad Nary and Jamie couldn't catch up  :'(  :'(  :'(

Final 3 Prediciton (not in order of finish)

Heart: Mopper, Brenchel, Davechel
Brain: Art and JJ, Dave and Rachel, Mark and Bopper
Gut: Art and JJ, Dave and Rachel, Brendon and Rachel

A different team winning? :o

The Uturn is finally broken? :o :o

The Speed Bump is effective? :o :o :o

What is this race coming to? :lol:

Marcus and Amani's was pretty hard. But what killed the teachers was their bad performance last time. They were lucky to get to race another leg.

They were in Mto Wa Mbu too, and the wikipedia description of TAR5 task is:

Quote
The Detour for this leg was Buzzing or Busy. In Buzzing, teams had to travel by bicycle to a local honey farm, put on a beekeeper suits and harvest 2 kilograms (4.4 lb) of honey from traditional African hives in order to receive their next clue.

I think that's it.
