We're back.
The Cops and Sticky and Sam have gone to the carpets.
Shane and Andrew have chosen a simple design, Sticky and Sam have gone for one slightly more complicated. The Cops have declared it like a needle in a haystack.
Bakc at the baths, Lucy and Emilia are done with the soap and are heading for the shoe shine.
Paul and Steve are done, and will now travel to Rumeli Castle, where they will discover an Intersection inside. (I hate Intersections)
Michelle and Jo's Yield is done and they're off to shine shoes. They think it'll be easy to get male attention, which I would have done with my sister anyway.
Paul and Steve get to the intersection and lament the fact that they Yielded the 2nd place team and forced themselves to wait more.
JoGrace are at the shoe shine, and true to form Grace wants to dance. She doesn't find anyone with that method.
Shane and Andrew find Sticky and Sam's carpet, and immediately tell them that it's theirs. Hello Muppets of the Week.
Sticky and Sam repay the faith and hang around to help the cops.
Michelle and Jo are done with the shoes, and Lucy and Emilia have arrived. Lucy immediately pulls out the good old Aussie saying Cheap as Chips. Good stuff.
STicky and Sam, by their estimation have wasted 30-45 minutes finding Shane and Andrew's carpet. They pick one out but it's wrong, and the cops switch tasks, so St/Sa take their leave.
Grace shines the shoes of a man who has small feet. She makes the inevitable foot size/penis size reference, though a lot less blunt than that.
Lucy and Emilia said they've been waiting for the chance to have a good perv, and they've been very patient, but finally Turkey has deliverd. Lucy says that if she lived in Istanbul, they'd be dating already. She asks for his number, but makes no reference to being in town.
Hunners Chick and Ross and Tarryn depart after 1 PM. Ross laments that he was the one that couldn't do it, but is happy he's competing with James and Sarah over Paul and Steve.
Michelle and Jo are at the Intersection and decide to work with Paul and Steve.
Teams must now enter the castle and break through the line of four Turkish Oil Wrestlers. One of the 4 must get through and take a turkish lamp from off a table. The wrestlers arrive and Steve drops our first uncensored "****!" of the race. Paul says the biggest one there is giving him eyes. The trick here is there's only 3 wrestlers and 4 racers, so if they play distraction, one should be able to get through.
Michelle (Or Jo) sneaks past on the side and gets sandwiched as she nears the table. They are playing decidedly rougher than in TAR 9, that's for sure.
Jo (Or Michelle) grabs the lamp in the resulting chaos, but Michelle (or Jo) is on the ground holding her jaw.
To be clear: Paul did not bowl her over. One of the challenge extras did.
