LEG 10
Previously on TAR, blah blah blah, Scott faced fears, LoLo's quick thinking causes friction with Brooke & Scott and cracked Odd's respect toward Mom & dad. Fun first, Brooke & Scott fell apart, while Mom & Dad's error made them last. Non-elim, just read the updates. :meh

And we return with Floyd struggling to pin things up. Poor bike. Hahaha.

Matt kicks his speed up and balances it masterfully! Beautiful job!

Meanwhile, teams on the second bus on their way to the temple with the gnome.
"You take a spin class every day!" Brooke is struggling like she's never ridden a bike before.

SPEED BUMP: Tara & Joey must collect six dozen eggs in the rice fields before continuing the race!

LoLo move up to 3rdx

ROUTE INFO: Travel to Dan Thai Vi to get their next clue. (can someone provide the part after the hyphen??)

Tara & Joey doing the Speed Bump with much progress while London & Logan arrive at Roadblock. Floyd doesn't have all the baskets and must return back to pick up all the baskets he dropped. Wowziez.

Tara & Joey finish and on their way to the RB.

At the Roadblock location, trailing teams catch up to Floyd and Becca and are worried. Becca regrets not doing the task. Meanwhile, Tara & Joey overshot the RB location by two kilometers.

Scott delivers all the baskets and receive the clue!

Matt & Redmond are back from the foot rowing task.
ROUTE INFO: Travel to Hang Mua peak, up 500 steps, to the pit Stop!

Brooke & Scott finish and on their way to the board.

And now everyone has "Brooke mentality" with I can't attitudes. London hollers for Floyd to help her up from the ground with all the baskets stacked against her. Floyd is also struggling to get to her and is also exhausted, commercialsx

We return with Floyd being called for London's rescue. They balance each other with much panic. A couple locals help them out.

Tara & Joey are arriving at the RB location. Joey takes over the task.

Matt & Redmond on a taxi to the Pit Stop. Floyd or London loses another basket. Scott & Brooke arguing once again at the foot rowing task once they arrive because they are drifting the wrong direction.

Floyd must go back again, noooooo...., but London earns her approval. Joey follows with all his baskets. Floyd super exhausted and can't continue without a little bit of rest. London is crying for their struggles.

Joey passes London because her bike snapped at some point. And Tara & Joey pick themselves back up to 3rd! Hoorah!

Matt & Redmond are team number one and win a trip to Costa Rica! :conf: :conf: :conf:

Fun Meter is down low as Becca worries and questions the reasons why he is taking so long while every team finished in one attempt. Floyd is finally approved and races back to Becca!

Meanwhile, London and Logan pick up their offerings while Scott & Brooke finishes the rowing in 2nd. "to the Pit Stop!"

Tara tells Joey to shut up at the rowing task as they just begin.

Floyd tries his hardest to bike trailing Becca, but collapses and Becca rushes urgently to him! o-m-g

Not that I am aware of. The clues ripped open seemed to be all Route Infos except for the Roadblock.

We return with Becca assisting Floyd as he is physically exhausted from his taxing Roadblock performance. Medic is called and notices dizziness and Becca says he looks very fatigued, getting him to take deep breaths.

Tara and Joey fighting about the technique while Logan and London motivate each other despite his tallness.

"Giving birth again. It's twins this time!" :funny: Scott needs to be a traveling comedian for a while!
Brooke complains she can't bike anymore. They like the gnome's hat - and are caught off guard by the immense height of the peak Pit Stop. "it's torture!" sighs Brooke. They arrive 2nd it's Scott confidently declaring it too. Phil says Brooke became Scott today. :holdbreath:

Becca worried for Floyd and has never seen anyone in dreary condition before.

Meanwhile, Tara & joey arrive at the Pit Stop in 3rd and London & logan follow behind in 4th.

:( Floyd figures he can't keep going in his fatigued condition. Becca getting emotional over his health and realizes their unsurmountable demise from the race.

Phil comes to them and sadly eliminates them from the race.  :gaah:

Becca & Floyd sign out with a cute rap.
