We get a recap of last leg and then intro.

10:05 - Beijing. Next clue: Take high speed train to Shanghai to China.  Teams will search for next clue at train station. Sinorama gives them good luck token for the next leg via Jon. Its been 30 hours straight of racing.

4500 Yuan for this leg of the race. Z/S AA depart. K/R is next. All the teams are sleepy. KB are fifth.

S/P arrive at the train station for their clue. Teams are departing at 7am for Shanghai , Sam and Paul drop their tickets!!!

Ivana's back is killing her and she is nervous if it will affect her.

Sam and Paul are now looking for their tickets and can't find them. They are searching with flashlights.

A/E now depart.

SP are looking for their tickets and Sam found them...

SP lost their clue too as well. They couldn;t find it.

All teams are now their way to Tock's Deli in Shanghai. Teams will need to recite the Mandarin phrase they learned at the Great Wall last leg.

SP tell AA they lost their clue. AA wrote the clue for them and SP promised to help them this leg.

KB first out of airport. They arrive at the deli.

Clue: Fly to Bangkok, Thailand.

All teams are flying to Bangkok, they will need to go to Caturday Cafe. They didn't even show all the teams looking for the deli. Completely rushed.

What a waste of a trip to Shanghai. This is where some sponsorships become a handicap. Ridiculous. :groan:

I feel conflicted on the short trip to Shanghai and all the equalizers, but at the same time, I think they want to tire out the racers. They have raced for 4 days straight without Pit Stop rest.

We are back.

Footrace to pitstop. AE beat out SP to the pitstop. They are teams 2-3

Kenneth gets the flag followed by Ryan. They are in fourth.

KB still doing the shopping for the detour.

ZS arrive. Zed gets it immediately at the surfing. KI going to the market. Shabbir struggling at the surfing though.

Race play: Where would you rather explore. Canada at 11% The world at 89% lol... time for producers to go worldwide.

KR are in fourth. Jon calls the last two episodes as one leg.

KI in the market looking for lights.

KB finish the shopping and finish decorating and are wrong. This is by far the difficult detour. So many intricate details to get down.

welp, there's my favourite team gone. I was really hoping that they would be a dark horse in the race. Alas, the tasks dictated otherwise.

Still got a respectable average of 4.2 over 5 legs.

Will miss them :(

Shabbir was awesome! The embodiment of living life to the fullest.

It's obvious they were cast along similar lines as Dave & Connor, but no comparison IMO

I think they had the strategy of Shabbir doing as many roadblocks at the start so that Zed could do the ones later when it matters most, with Zed being the stronger racer.

It looks familiar but it doesn't appear that it was visited by TARUS
