Previously on The Amazing Race...

Teams learned about the double Express Pass twist. At the Tahiti Airport, the teams on the first airport made an alliance. One roadblock sent people soaring out of a helicopter, and the other... well, searching for clues under sandcastles.

Jessica & John won the 2 EPs.

Katie convinced the last 2 other teams to quit the roadblock and take a penalty. It was a race to the pit stop and Matt & Daniel sank. Max & Katie and Caroline & Jennifer received 4 hour penalties, but survived. Matt & Daniel were eliminated

10 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

LOL. Wynona before the intro. "Where are my kids when I need them?" :lol3:

Jessica & John will be the first to depart at 2:56 a.m., head by Water Taxi to Motu Toopua Nui, find the Hilton, search the grounds, then to a wedding chapel where they will get a blessing.

Jessica & John depart first at 2:56 AM. Travel by water taxi to Motu Toopua... what. Then search for a wedding chapel to get blessed! Hours of operation: 7:30 AM. John for the title when talking about the alliance.

And fast forward. All teams are waiting for the water taxi. David & Connor are asking about the EP... John & Jessica don't really want to give it to them so other teams will suck up to them LOL. Mona/Beth and Meghan are talking about people sucking up. Chuck & Wynona sucked up to them. Mona is sucking up now LOL. Meghan says she will not suck up to them! :hearts:

Caroline & Jennifer and Max & Katie still haven't arrived at the bunch up.

Teams are now taking a water taxi. Eww. Bates... or Anthony revealed the huge gap in his front teeth.

Jessica & John go the wrong way. Wynona: "We're old as dirt!"

Dave & Connor arrive at the chapel first. They get blessed. Jessica & John are right behind them.

Detour: Pick a Pearl or Take a Trunk?

Pick A Pearl: Untie lines of shells and shuck them open to find 2 red pearls. Then swim to the pearl farmer for their next clue.

Take a Trunk: Dive and find a treasure trunk. Take it to an umbrella, remove the contents, and create an underwater dining experience. I like this. :lol3:

Dave & Connor, Jessica & John and Bates & Anthony are all doing pick a pearl... Both detours require you to pick a bag of stuff needed... Dave & Connor just pass by it. Jessica & John and Bates & Anthony get it. A bunch of other teams get the detour clue. Most are doing pearl.

Dave & Connor think they're in first but they don't have their diving material... Jessica & John tell Dave & Connor they didn't get their stuff. And that's why you read your clue, lol.

Bates & Anthony, Jessica & John and Joey & Meghan start doing the pearl detour. Hockey players: "Even with our brains, two is better than one."

Mona & Beth are the only ones doing the treasure detour. Mona & Beth talk about how cool all the fish and scenery is. They're somehow communicating underwater.

All the teams are doing their detour except for the teams who have the penalty and Dave & Connor. Dave & Connor get their snorkel gear and they're going back to the detour.

Twin troubles. One of them is afraid of water and wants to take a penalty... The other doesn't want to take the 6 hours.

As much as Jamil and Idries are afraid of water... they really should not take the penalty. 6 hours is a VERY long time and I'm SURE they could complete it under that time.. they're making a big mistake! :groan:

I'm surprised they decided to take the 6-H Penalty so quickly. The other two teams are like...3 hours behind , right now?

I don't think they've officially taken it yet. They'll probably just decide to do it after the commercial, lol.

The pearl seems to be the hardest one. The other one , you can actually breathe inside the water . The twins would kill it as i think ANY team could kill that Detour. Go Mona and Beth! Good choice.

This'll have to qualify for the wimpiest season of teams TAR has ever had. Quitting a sandcastle searching RB that Lena & Kristy would have not gave up and scuba diving that the roller derby girls never did either...
