Previously on The Amazing Race...

4 teams raced to Manilla. Misti was overwhelmed by her surroundings. At the detour, Brooke & Robbie braved the waves and built an early lead. Meanwhile, Jim had a wrench thrown in his day. The pro wrestlers were stuck in the mud as the dentists edged out the scientists to win their 5th leg. Meanwhile in a second footrace, Brooke & Robbie fell short but stayed in the game.

Coming up tonight, 4 teams battle for a spot in the finals. Who will make it in and who will be eliminated next?

Brooke: OOOH I'M HAVING A BABY. :lol:

Misti found out she has a cut on her foot. 9:01 AM. Travel by jeepney to Rajah Sulayman Park. There's a station where you have to get a jeepney at. Dentists looking for the station. They ask for directions. Dentists say this is the first leg they've been up for elimination.

Amy & Maya - 9:02 AM. You need to get a jeepney at the station and then switch after? ??? Girls get onto a jeepney and Misti & Jim are watching. Misti & Jim stop the jeepney and get on too.

Adam & Bethany - 9:05 AM. They get onto a jeepney. Apparently Amy & Maya and Misti & Jim went the wrong way...

Brooke & Robbie - 9:07 AM. Brooke almost got into a jeepney going on the wrong side of the street. There's a shorter route and Brooke & Robbie and Adam & Bethany got on it.

Amy & Maya and Misti & Jim talking about the clue and having to switch jeepneys. ???

Not sure what you're actually supposed to do... Adam & Bethany first to get detour clue. Detour: This or That. :lol: Adam does eenie meenie. Speedbump is here.

Adam & Bethany pick this. Wrestlers see the speedbump. Help the speed vender transfer all his stuff to another cart. :lol:. Robbie: "Look at us. We look good." :lol: Brooke says this is going to be a long speedbump. Robbie says they've only been here for 1 minute. :lol:

Dentists think that they're going to be ahead of surfers and wrestlers... Awk.

Adam & Bethany arrive at this basketball place. This: Shoot hoops while being guarded by a neighbourhood team. Once they've scored at least 21 points, the official will give their next clue. Adam for the title.

Adam & Bethany got 2 points.

Robbie says Brooke is a loose cannon and then he becomes a loose cannon and then they have 2 loose cannons on the race.

Dentists and scientists' jeepney needs gas. Omg the pump says "RePhil." :lol:

Adam & Bethany - 12 points. Adam felt like Shaq except he missed all his free throws lol.

Wrestlers finished the speedbump. They say there were the same amount of clues in the cluebox.

Jim talks about how dentists have made some bad decisions but he's glad that the candy girls are with them. They talk about how positive the scientists are. And I missed the rest of their conversation because I had to get the phone. :lol:

Commercial.

the Dentists said "this jeepney (referring to themselves and Amaya) has the highest mental aptitude on the Race"
he may have a point...

And we're back with scientists and dentists realizing they took the wrong jeepney. Misti asks if they think it's worth the risk... Scientists ask, "What risk?" :lol: They get off the jeepney.

Bethany says she's sometimes nervous about letting Adam down and being the weaker link but she likes detours. They're at 20 points... Adam gets the free throw and they're done the detour. Go to Divisoria Market for a marked jeepney.

Surfers see wrestlers coming to the basketball detour. Wrestlers are being really intense about this. Brooke says it's been 10 years since she picked up a basketball so she was rusty.

Dentists get currently in last place lol. Wrestlers and scientists both got detour clue. HAHAHAHAHA Maya and Jim were talking to a taxi driver just blocking the road and a jeepney almost ran them over.

Adam & Bethany can't find their clue...? ??? They're on a jeepney right now.

Omg Robbie fakes a poke in the eye. :lol: Brooke's doing so well at this! Wrestlers done in 2nd!

Scientists and dentists doing That.

That: Navigate their way around the neighbourhood. Race around a course. 4 laps in under 17:55 to get their next clue.

Both teams have begun the race. There's a guy dancing and giving directions. :lol: Each team member has to do 2 laps. Jim started first to give a lead because of Misti's foot. Jim almost runs over two people lol. Maya's cycling first.

Adam & Bethany trying to find the marked jeepney at the market... They don't have their clue so they don't know the intersection. They only have 1 street so they're just going to try to find the marked jeepney.

Brooke says she's about to puke and she wants the AC on... She's telling the taxi driver to turn it on but he won't so she just lunges forward to push the button. Taxi driver says no because the engine will be hot.

Misti & Jim almost run over another person. There are no traditional bike brakes. Dentists do a switch for lap 2. Amy's doing the 2nd lap.

Poor Misti having to do this with Jim as passenger. :lol:

Maya says Amy can go past Misti... Amy almost hits Misti but streers too much the other way and she crashes into a car...

And we're back with Amy crashing into the car. Jim tells Misti to keep going because they have to beat the clock. Amy's fine and she continues. Amy passes Misti! :hearts:

Misti said Amy & Maya did not have a 250 pound baby in the cart. :lol: Amy is going to do the 3rd lap. Dentists decide to switch for the 3rd lap. It's about 10 minutes right now.

Surfers still looking for the marked jeepney... They say the market is like a maze. They keep walking down the 1 street they know. Wrestlers get the roadblock clue in 1st LOL. :funny:

Roadblock: Pick up and deliver 2 popular coconut products. Once they have delivered these awkward items to 3 different shops, they'll receive their next clue.

Robbie is doing the roadblock. He picks up the brooms and coconuts but he doesn't know where to deliver it... There's a piece of paper on the cart that says where to deliver it... Tricky.

Amy & Maya finish the detour! 15:35. :hearts: Dentists done in 16:04. Both looking for taxis. Scientists can't find a taxi that knows where the next location is. Dentists get taxi first and scientists behind.

Robbie trying to figure where to go... He rereads the clue and it said there were posted locations... And he sees it on the cart. He's asking for directions.

Surfers still can't find it... Adam going through his bag...and it was in his bag. :groan:

Dentists get roadblock clue in 2nd. Jim is doing the roadblock. He's wondering where the posted locations are. He just walked away without seeing it. Adam is doing the roadblock. Teams aren't noticing where the posted locations are... Scientists are in the market. Robbie is trying to ask for directions and his brooms are hitting people. :lol:

Jim and Adam don't know where to go. Robbie is at the first delivery location... The guy said 3... Robbie realizes there are amounts posted too. :groan: He gives a vender the items to keep for him until he comes back.

Amy doing the roadblock. Not sure if Amy saw the posted directions.

Adam and Jim find each other. Robbie has made his first deliver. Wow Robbie killin it. Looks like Amy found the directions. Jim and Adam don't know where to take their stuff... Adam figures out that the posted instructions might be on the cart at the beginning...

Robbie made his 2nd delivery. Amy trying to get directions but locals not understanding her. Adam and Jim figure out where the posted instructions are.

Maya thinks Amy is struggling because she's shaking. Poor Amy... the only girl doing this.

Adam and Jim make their first delivery. Robbie made his third delivery!

Adam runs ahead of Jim and Jim's struggling lol. WRESTLERS DONE THE ROADBLOCK IN FIRST. Make your way to the next pit stop! Omg. Pit Stop: Fort San Diego. Last team may be eliminated.
