And we begin the 21st hour!

5 teams traveled to Ninh Binh, Vietnam! At the Roadblock, Team Fun and the Boys led the pack, but the sweltering gear took a toll on Floyd. After starting in last, Tara & Joey battled back and Matt & Redmond's steady footwork won them them leg. However, Becca & Floyd couldnt recover and were eliminated from the race.

Coming up, 4 teams race to lock in their placements to compete in the final leg! Who will be eliminated next?

All teams in their way to the airport.

And Matt & Redmond get off the University stop and miss Line 2 by seconds. Risk unpaid off, haha.

And Tara & Joey reach the dancers 1st!

ROUTE INFO: Travel by taxi to Hanyang University Gym!

Odd and LoLo reach the dancers and have a little fun with the Gangnam District dancers. But The Boys have two more stops to go!

Tara & Joey reach the university grounds and go into the gym.

ROADBLOCK: "Who stacks up?"
One team member must stack and unstuck a cup sequence in less than 7 seconds to receive their next clue.

Scott & Brooke also reach the Roadblock. Brooke is doing it because she has a little cousin who can do t really sat and she thinks she will try to outdo her? :D

Matt & Redmond finally reach the dancers and retrieve their clue to the University. Unfortunately, the taxi driver only heard "Olympic Gym"... oh no.

Brooke and Joey are struggling a little, but Brooke is improving a lot. She finishes her first attempt just .044 seconds over 7. :groan:

LoLo arrives and start.

And Brooke finished at precisely 7 seconds! Unbelievable!!!

ROUTE INDO: Make your way to the Muyugong Arts & Cultural Center to find your next clue! (someone clarify!)

And Joey finishes right after while Logan finished right after him!

And Matt & Redmond's taxi driver wants to give them a discount after driving them in the wrong direction of the university. They are about 20 minutes away from the location. A look of dismay goes across their faces. "this is not what I wanted to happen"- Matt.

And we are back with Matt & Redmond in frustration. They want to rock the roadblock and not make any mistakes. Meanwhile, Brooke & Scott reach the center.

ROUTE INFO: Make kimchi to fill a ceramic jar and pack it in soil to begin the fermentation to receive the next clue.

Tara & Joey and LoLo reach the location and the Odd Couple want space to keep the process a secret in sight of them.

Meanwhile, Redmond chooses to do the Roadblok and claim she he can cup stack - for the ladies at a party. Haha!

Brooke & Scott quietly bickering while Tara & Joey and LoLo finish before them. All three are checked and called off to redo the cabbage. Tara & Joey move on to the burial step after fixing their mistake. They must eat a slice of kimchi to receive their next clue.

ROUTE INFO: Make your way to Seoul OGN e-Stadium!

London & Logan's are approved and they follow suit! They think it tastes Cajun.

At the Roadblock, Redmond is still going at it! He puts his focus face on and FINISHES!!! Hurry hurry hurry.

Meanwhile, LoLl bypass Tara & Joey in their taxi. Brooke & Scott also finished, what?! And all of them speed into the stadium to get their clue

ROADBLOCK: "Who is ready to take control?"
One team member must play Street Fighter 5 against a professional opponent. After every 10 rounds, the opponent would be disadvantaged to the point until the racer wins.

Scott was a video gamer when he was a kid. London doesn't play video games who instead loves flowers be dancing. Tara has not played digital games in 25 years.

And we come back from the commercial break with our video game duds vs. pros!
Scott is improving highly and reach the 11th round. Player is handicapped and Scott still loses. Brooke's screaming echoes throughout the condo!

London almost defeats her opponent and also on track for the handicap. Tara is struggling very badly. She feels like she will hate video games more than ever after finishing.

Matt & Redmond reach the kimchi stations and start completing the task.

Scott loses out again while London dis-improved. Their opponents are now blindfolded. Tara is still confused. Meanwhile, London knocks the player out of the martial arts game and shocks everyone in the room! Scott also gets it, and Tara is consistently getting defeated even blindfolded. Joey is now pissed at the video game player for not giving her a break.

Matt & Redmond massaging the cabbage and are approved. They bury the urn and move on to the second roadblock.

Even with a changed character, Tara is fearing Shen will sit here all night to finish the opponent. Meanwhile, Matt & Redmond show up! Oh my gosh?!

ROUTE INFO: Travel to Gavit Some to the Pit Stop! Hurry, last team to check in will be eliminated!!!

Tara is upset her running in the finale will depend on playing a video game rather than defeating actual evil villains in the outdoors. Matt does the other RB and is beginning the game.

It occurs to me that, Matt & Red aside, every task has had a different order of arrival and departure.  :bunny

The only way this leg would've been better is if they banned taxi use once in Seoul.  :sab

And we return with Matt wanting his opponent to take it easy. Meanwhile, Matt is great at this game! Woah!

Brooke & Scott and LoLo arrive at the Gavit Some and must go to the roof.

Brooke & Scott find him FIRST and will be racing to the Finish for $1 million! They don't get a leg-winning reward!

And LoLl arrives right after them and get SECOND and also racing for the $1 million!

Tara has no idea what she is doing.
