That's the same train route teams took on TAR 6 in Sri Lanka before the Great Tsunami and which was heavily damaged.

Great to see that the physical infrastructure is back up almost a decade later.

Dave & Connor get the first clue. Detour.

Fishing Pole: Climb onto a pair of fishing stilts. Once they have both caught a fish, they must deliver them to the hut where a fisherman will give their clue.
Spin Conrol: Spin and perform a dance while spinning drum-like instruments.

Fishing: Dave & Connor, Jet & Cord and Jessica & John.
Spinning: Flight Time & Big Easy, Brenchel, Caroline & Jennifer and Afghanimals.

Jet & Cord actually had a point saying they could have weighed the fish...  that would have made a better challenge.

Jessica/John contemplate switching Detours.

Brenchel done with Detour in P6.

To switch or not to switch? That's the question for Jessica and John.

Commercial break.

John rehashing Mirna's "this is like a nightmare" phrase... :groan: Just no, it's not like Mirna trying to communicate with Polish locals that don't speak a slick of English.

Jessica thinks they should switch. John thinks they should switch. They switch.

Margie & Luke have been blessed by the monk. Now they're going to go to the train station.

Roadblock. Teams will have to stitch together a shirt. When the floor manager feels like it's good, their next clue will be printed on the shirt.
Speedbump is here.

There's an ongoing demonstration. Connor and Big Easy are doing the roadblock. Jennifer is doing it? Caroline doing it? Still can't tell. :funny:

Big Easy: "I decided to do the roadblock... Worst decision ever." lol.

Jessica says that John is not a great dancer. Oh man. Not very good at all. :lol:

Leo & Jamal arrive at the roadblock. Leo is doing it. Jet is doing it. Leo says he's seen his mom doing this a bunch of times. Jet has never sewn before. "It's worse than a puzzle because all the puzzle pieces are... moving."

Jessica & John finish the detour in 7th. Margie & Luke are on the 2:25 train to Galle. Margie says she's proud of Luke for staying calm.

Brenchel arrive at the speedbump. They have to apply the final layer to the Sri Lanka flag. Once they've printed 15 perfect sheets, then they can continue.

Jennifer is doing the roadblock. Got it. :lol: Jennifer and Connor are working together. Connor says it was great to work with Jen on the roadblock.

Brenchel still working on the speedbump.

An "agh" montage with Big Easy, Jet and Leo. Brenchel finish the speedbump. Brendon is doing the roadblock. Leo says he'll give 1000 rupies to get someone to do it for him LOL.

Connor is getting his shirt checked... It is not good. It's close, but there's a little hole I guess?

Jennifer gets her shirt checked, but there's a seam missing. John & Jessica arrive and Jessica is doing it. Jessica is very confused. She asks if you have to press the pedal and if there are needles lol.

Leo can put his shirt on. :funny: Afghanimals out of the roadblock in 4th.

Rachel says it doesn't make her feel better that Margie & Luke are behind because Margie could be a super sewer.

Love that Caroline & Jen got second. Hard to believe they didn't previously. And classic TAR music to go with Connor & Dave's win!
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
