Wow. How the heck did the elephant lift the log up to the truck? Wow. :o
Jet & Cord: 2/6
Leo & Jamal: 2/6. They want to beat the cowboys.

John & Jessica and Dave & Connor's elephants are carrying their 1st logs.

Globes and Brenchel have too much mush for their paper so they have to redo it. Caroline & Jennifer's isn't approved either. Globes have bubbles on their paper. Brenchel's isn't approved. Caroline & Jennifer's not approved again. They have bubbles too.

Commercial.

Jessica & John: 2/6
Dave & Connor: 2/6
Jet & Cord: 4/6. "We got to beat Leo & Jamal."
Leo & Jamal: 4/6

Jessica: "You're only as fast as your big fat elephant."
Dave & Connor have too much slack again.

Jessica & John: 4/6

Caroline & Jennifer's not approved again. Brenchel realize they forgot to press the paper.

Flight Time & Big Easy: 3/5
Brendon & Rachel: 1/5

Brendon: "I'm the poop master!" :funny:

Caroline & Jennifer: 1/5

Jet & Cord: 6/6. Travel Ambepussa Rest House. Then they will have to find a wise man.

Leo & Jamal are done the detour in 2nd. Jessica & John done in 3rd.

Flight Time & Big Easy: 4/5
Brenchel: 3/5

Flight Time is twerking lol. Their paper is not approved though.

Dave & Connor are done the detour. They find out that only 3 taxis have left so paper took a long time.

Flight Time & Big Easy are done the detour.
Brenchel: 4/5

Afghanimals pass Cowboys. Teams have to let their ears guide them to the wise man, lol. Cowboys find him first and the wise man plays a little melody. Afghanimals waiting.

Pit stop: Mount Lavinia Hotel Beach. Last team to check in may be eliminated.

Race between Cowboys and Afghanimals. Afghanimals have the cowboys in sight. AFGHANIMALS PASS THE COWBOYS?

Jessica & John receive their clue from the wise man.

Brenchel finish the detour in 6th. Caroline & Jennifer finish the detour in last.

Dave & Connor receive their clue from the wise man. Flight Time & Big Easy receive their clue from the wise man. Flight Time: "I used to have hair like that." :funny:

Globes are right behind Dave & Connor. Turns out Dave & Connor's taxi driver is the brother of the Globes' taxi driver, LOL.

Brenchel have received their clue for the pit stop. Caroline & Jennifer receive their clue for the pit stop. Caroline & Jennifer say that Brenchel have a 2 minute lead over them, but traffic is crazy.

Afghanimals try to get a car or a tuk-tuk to get in front of the Cowboys LOL. Afghanimals are somehow now behind the Cowboys again. This is really funny. :funny: BOTH TAXIS STOP. BOTH TEAMS ARE RUNNING TO PHIL...

A COMMERCIAL?

Idk but crossing the railway like the teams is very dangerous and they should get penalty for that.

And we're back with a footrace to the pit stop...

But Leo is slower... but now faster... WOW. AFGHANIMALS ARE ON THE MAT FIRST!!!

Leo & Jamal are team #1!!! Foreshadowing from last episode. Jet & Cord are team #2. Sounds like a rivalry between them.

Afghanimals won a 5 night trip for 2 to Berlin, Germany.

Pit stop:
1st - Leo & Jamal
2nd - Jet & Cord

Teams are racing to the pit stop. Globes seem to have a quick taxi. Globes' taxi doesn't know where to go? Globes have gone a different way than Dave & Connor.

Caroline & Jennifer are hoping for a miracle.

Race between Dave & Connor and Jessica & John. Dave: "Yep, you'll beat an old man, guys." Jessica & John easily beat Dave & Connor to the pit stop.

Jessica & John are team #3. Dave & Connor are team #4. Jessica & John are happy that they beat Dave & Connor.

Pit stop:
1st - Leo & Jamal
2nd - Jet & Cord
3rd - Jessica & John
4th - Dave & Connor

I don't know why Globetrotters did not tell their taxi to follow Dave & Connor's taxi.

Flight Time & Big Easy have gone the wrong way.

Brenchel are team #5. More baby talk if they win. :funny:

Looks like Caroline & Jennifer might have some hope... Just kidding they don't. :funny:

Flight Time & Big Easy are team #6.

Phil: "Not a bad place to end your race?" Caroline & Jennifer are the last team to arrive... But it's a non-elimination leg! Oh Phil. :funny: They say that they had a good leg today and made no mistakes, but they still ended up last. They will encounter a speedbump on the next leg.

Pit stop:
1st - Leo & Jamal
2nd - Jet & Cord
3rd - Jessica & John
4th - Dave & Connor
5th - Brendon & Rachel
6th - Flight Time & Big Easy
7th - Caroline & Jennifer (NEL)

TWO WEEKS FROM NOW:

In Rome, the Afghanimals become gladiators. A challenging roadblock sets up a sprint to the finish.

That was a really good episode. Best of the season by miles.

Normally I'd say that the equalizer ruined it, but it still ended with close/exciting finishes  :hrt:

Yay to Leo & Jamal for beating the Cowboys :lol:

Yay to Caroline & Jennifer being NEL'd.

No to waiting two weeks for the next episode.  (:;) (But the preview looks great, I can't wait to see more sprints to the finish!)

Waiting two weeks is fine for me. Means I don't have to miss any of Wrestlemania :D

I got to agree,
What a great episode. So much back and forth.

LEG 6 (Sri Lanka) EPISODE ANALYSIS
For a season that has only visited three countries in half of a race, I was not prepared to make popcorn necklaces. Despite a couple minor editing flaws (ripping open of first clues of other teams, anti-climactic moment of Brendon & Rachel getting onto the train), the task choices are beyond what I expected! Each location had a balanced amount of challenge with an equal amount of problems. In the last task before the Pit Stop, the flutist has me wondering if there will be a final task featuring the flute. ??? In the foot races to the Pit Stop, we saw drama, we heard classic TAR music, and is it just me or is Leo & Jamal vs. Jet & Cord an allusion to Ernie & Cindy and Andy & Tommy's foot race? Dare I say, this is the best Leg of the season so far!

ROADBLOCK:
Filling four tuk-tuks with gasoline may seem easy, but searching for a tiny colored card on vehicles' windows is rather difficult. According to Rachel R., she pulled out her former "I am Vegas!" attitude and began screaming at the top of her lungs to direct eco-friendly tuk-tuks (reference to TAR13's Delhi Roadblock) into "Petco". Drama erupted, Dave went crazy at the station, and tuk-tuks smashing into one another freaked everyone out. Of course, I wonder why routers never thought of searching for tuk-tuks with specific license plates.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 9/10

DETOUR: (Elephant Trunk or Elephant Dung)
This Detour was quite interesting (even though the first dung paper demonstration grossed me out; I was eating dinner). In the elephant trunk choice, I actually was amused with the simplicity of carrying heavy logs to a storage area although the elephant was doing half the work for them. I'd say it was mediocre at best. The elephant dung option seems really difficult, but all you need to do is follow the Sri Lankan paper makers' demonstrations properly. The two choices balance each other in difficulty which really deserves a kudos from me.
DETOUR SCORE: 9/10

OTHER SCORES:
LEG DIFFICULTY: 7/10
TEAM DRAMA: 9/10
READ YOUR CLUE: 10/10
YOU'RE ONLY AS FAST AS YOUR BIG, FAT ELEPHANT: 6/10
OVERALL SCORE: 9/10
