Play By play copied from SurvivorLDog93 ..you can hang out with me here or go over there  :<(

Phil: Uchenna/Joyce hit their stride on the Detour; others got held up milking goats. Teams enjoyed a ride in the African bush, but Lynn/Alex broke down, then got a flat. Tensions between Ron/Kelly turned into name calling. Uchenna/Joyce made a costly mistake (not completing the Roadblock correctly) and Meredith/Gretchen missed their final clue, opening the door for last place Brian/Greg. But in the end, even their outfits (or lack thereof) couldn't save them.

Five teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
Phil: This is Khwai Village, Botswana. Seventh pitstop in a race around the world.

Will the increasing Ron/Kelly tension affect their momentum?
Can retirees Mere/Gretchen still beat the odds?

Rob/Amber, 12:45 am
CLUE: Fly to Lucknow, India.
Phil: They'll make their way to a religious palace, to an area known as the vuli for their next clue. Flights go to Mumbai. Teams must sign up first for a charter to Francistown Botswana to get there.


Ron/Kelly, 12:46 am.
$125 for this leg.
Conf: They're trying to make the communication "smooth."

Uchenna/Joyce, 2:08 am.
Conf: We've found the harmony that will be instrumental to winning the million bucks.

Lynn/Alex, 3:00 am.

Meredith/Gretchen, 3:45 am.
Conf: We never dreamed we'd ever make this many legs of the race. Like ferocious lions.

All the teams get on the same flight out.

Meredith: Now, we just don't want to break a hip!
Gretchen: Our bags are already on the plane.

Damn! I thought they lost everything at the other pitstop.

Phil: Their first stop is in Francistown, Botswana.

There's a sign, for the airport.
But not much more.
It looks like a glorified produce stand.
BWAH! [/twop]

Rob/Amber and Ron/Kelly try to pull a fast move behind the ticket counter, looking at the computers.
Meanwhile, Lynn/Alex are outside on a cell phone, with U/J and M/G watching.

Each team seems to be getting in at 9:35 am.

Wait .. Rob finds one that gets in "five minutes earlier."
Rob/Amber and Ron/Kelly will take the "earlier" flight, through Delhi.

The other three teams take the flights arriving at 9:35.

Rob, behind the ticket counter: If they want the same tickets, tell them you can't do it, and just point to me. Don't worry. I'll smile right at 'em.
Woman: Okay.

puddin:
Lucknow  |(  (%# .. never been there ..


L/A get M/G tickets.
M: Why are you doing this for us?
A: Because we want you in the finals with us!!

Ron: We gotta quit talking to 'em.
Kelly: Yeah but keep your enemies closer.
Rob conf: Amber and I are in this to win it.
Ron: Kelly and I have done well with the tension we've had.
Kelly conf: When we are not winning we were everybody's friend. Nobody's our friend anymore.
Amber conf: Nobody wants to be with us. We're the frontrunners.

From Francistown, the first plane leaves taking teams to a bigger airport.

Phil: All teams on thier way to Lucknow, and all have a stop in Mumbai.

puddin:
Phil: All five teams are on their way to Lucknow, through Delhi. They have to get to this Palace for their next clue.

Teams get in cabs and head through Lucknow.

Ron makes yet another Baghdad/Bombed analogy. :eyes

Rob/Amber's cab passes Ron/Kelly's.
Ron conf: No luck at all.

Second plane, a few minutes later, and the last three teams get cabs.

Uchenna conf: Somebody on the plane gave us good advice to go to this prepaid taxi.

The other two teams are negotiating price.
U/J get tickets for a prepaid taxi, almost immediately.
Meredith: They're using a lot of words I don't know, honey.
Lynn/Alex can't communicate with the cabbies, either.
Mere: They're trying to stiff us!

Meanwhile U/J get in a cab and haul ass.

The other two teams are stuck in an argument they can't win.

COMMERCIAL.

puddin:
YIELD  |(
Bara Imambara

puddin:
The argument continues.
Meredith stomps away toward a cab.
M: The other guy was trying to stiff us.
L/A get in theirs first.
M/G get in theirs last.
M: Everybody pushing, shoving, pushing, shoving.
G: Get used to it.

Rob/Amber first to arrive at the BOULI palace.
They put scarves on, for custom.
Rob: We're all about the customs.
Amber, reading: No yelling/running inside.

Ron/Kelly next, don scarves.
Kelly: Peaceful in a city of chaos.

Uchenna notes that women don't play a big role in what they're seeing, traffic-wise.

Rob: Okay. Looking for the clue box.
Ron finds it first.
Rob: Make your way by horse drawn tonga to the Steel Emporium.
Phil: Three miles away their next clue.

Ron: Does it look like anybody's been here yet?
Kelly: No.
Ron/Kelly read clue.
There's a YIELD on this leg.
Ron speculates whether Rob would YIELD them.
Rob: If they were any players at all, they'd YIELD us.

U/J arrive as Amber, conf: I'd rather YIELD L/A
