Phil: Bangkok. Along the banks of a canal, a temple, the 11th pitstop in a race around the world.

Although 3rd to arrive, Ray/Yo caught a lucky break and won the Travelocity prize, vacation of a lifetime, and a night in a luxurious hotel. They saw their trip on the internet and lazed in luxury.

Will Ray/Yo continue working well together?
Will BJ/T maintain their lead after climbing out of last?
Will E/J keep their focus and take home the prize?

BJ/T, 11:18 pm, CLUE: Take a taxi to the province of Iyuthayah (sp?), search for the Royal Krall.

E/J, 1:21 am departure.
Ray/Yo, 1:28 am.

Elephant Kraal Pavilion: 4 am to 6 pm.
BJ/T set up camp nearby.

E/J arrive at the Kraal second place. Ray/yo arrive third, all three teams there before 4 am.

Ray: Wassup, Cricketboys?
Elephant raises a leg.
E/J: Do they go dancing?
At 4 am ...
Yo: It's huge! Watch for the poo!
Teams get the "T Mobile Sidekick" CLUE: Fly to Tokyo, and drive to Shibuya.
Phil: They'll have to scan the many big screen TVs for the hint of the location of the next clue.

Ray: I'mma write that down.
Yolanda lets out a squeal at the thought of Tokyo.
The hippies do the usual comedy routine, and the Frats do the usual snarking.

BJ/T: Japan is the perfect place for us to go right now!
T: I have a Japanese girlfriend. Other teams must be weeping right now.
E/J: Tyler speaks Japanese, but we don't.

First to the airport, Ray/Yo.
Woman: United #9, 6:40 am.

BJ/T second inside.
Woman: Go one floor downstairs.

E/J arrive third to the airport.
Woman: United #9, 6:40 am.

BJ/T see the toteboard, and need to buy tickets for United.
Woman: Flight very, very full.
E/J lament the fact that Tyler speaks Japanese.
Ray: The hppies always manage to finagle something.
Woman, to Ray and to E/J: Yes, you are on the flight.

Tyler: There's no way we can get on that flight? We're screwed.

Ray/Yo and E/J board.
Tyler: It's so important! Omigod!
The plane takes off WITHOUT THEM.
They go to Thai Airlines, get an 8:20 departure.
BJ: They have an hour and a half lead. We have to catch up.
Tyler: We'll speak Japanese when we get to Japan!

Phil: When teams land, they must make their way to the parking lot at the Hotel Nikko, find marked cars, then drive to Shebuya. They must scan the big TV screens for the one flashing the location of their next CLUE.

Dusk, Plane 1 lands, Ray/Yo and E/J head for the hotel in the same bus.
Ray, observing the step down in cars: Not a benz, but it's still good. We're the first ones out the gate!
E/J stop to get a map, first. They head off to the expressway.
Teams driving ... Gotta love the steering wheels on the "wrong" side! Yolanda gets out, they ask directions to the expressway. It was right in front of their faces, but they couldn't read the signs.

Ray tries to read another sign at a fork in the expressway. He goes to the right.
BJ/T get into town.
E/J find Shebuya, 1st place.
Ray/Yo ask directions again. They're on the wrong freeway.
Ray: My great navigator!
Yo: Drive ME!!
Ray: Driving Miss Crazy.
Again, more directions.
Ray conf: We can't understand what anybody's saying!

E/J stand in the square and check the bazillion big screens, looking for a clue. There: "FIND HACHIKO."
Phil: The name of a statue, to honor a dog in Japanese lore. They find this man, they get the next clue.

E/J quickly find Hachiko.
CLUE: Detour.
Phil: Maiden or Messenger.
Maiden, 7 mile drive to tea garden, carry a maiden in a cart to a tea ceremony.
Messenger, travel 200 yards, pick up folding bikes and messenger bags w/parcels. Assemble the bikes, deliver packages to 2 separate buildings listed, return to the original parking lot.

E/J choose Maiden, to "meet some ladies today."

BJ/T second to Shebuya.
They find the Hachiko clue, then get the clue from Hachiko.
Tyler, of course, speaks Japanese.
BJ: The gardens might be simpler.
Tyler: But we can ask directions on the bikes.

E/J run to the nice young lady's traditional cart, and hoist it up on their shoulders.
E: Hopefully we got a hot one!

BJ/T start putting folding bikes together.
Address: Shujuku Park Tower.
Tyler: I've been to the building!
They take off, riding bikes.

Ray, still driving blind: Everyone will have problems, though. This place is confusing.
Yo: But we gotta do better than this.

Man gives Yolanda directions in broken Japan-English.
E/J carry the maiden to the destination. She greets them with the CLUE.
E: SOrt of like a naughty fantasy come true!
CLUE: Make your way to Capsule Land Hotel.
Phil: Sleeping in capsules, rather than rooms, is common in Tokyo, where space is at a premium.

BJ/T reach the Tower.
Tyler and BJ ride bikes into the lobby.
I'm amazed they weren't accosted for doing that ...
They deliver package #1.

Yo: Make a left ...
Ray: I'll make a right at this next u-turn.
Finally the find the building!
Now they look up, see "Find Hachiko."

BJ/T take their bikes into another building.
GDH Gonzo ...
Package #2 delivered.
They bike back to the parking lot.
Ray/Yo find Hachiko, get CLUE.
Ray: I'd rather hop in the taxi (and carry the maiden).

E/J get directions to the Capsule Hotel.
Taxi driver tries to explain.
E/J again lament that the hippies speak Japanese, and they don't.

BJ/T, receiving CLUE: Arigato!

Ray complains about the heavy maiden-in-cart.

Man in hotel: Welcome. Good evening.
Sign: 9:00 am Departure.
E/J: Dude! We're sleeping in THESE!? (capsules)
J: I hope I don't wake up and it's 1972.
Ray does a little Army march cheer or summat, trying to get the maiden to her destination.
Finally, they huff and puff, and deliver her.
Yolanda to maiden: WHat are you doing in there?
Ray: You're much heavier than you look!!

Ed. note: Ray is getting all the good lines tonight. Good sign, or bad??

BJ/T arrive at the capsule hotel, will leave 9:15 am.

Ray/Yo arrive last, will leave hotel at 9:30.

Ray opens a door, and finds E/J, BJ/T celebrating in bathrobes.
Ray: We got caught in traffic.

E/J depart 9:00 am.
CLUE: Drive to Fujiku Highland.
Phil: This park, with some of the world's biggest rollercoasters, is a thrill-seeker's paradise.

BJ/T leave 9:15.
Tyler: Fujiku Highland is far. Let's go. This is the Japan leg we dreamed about!

Ray/Yo leave 9:30, happy to only be 15 minutes behind.
Ray: Please let us find someone who speaks ENGLISH!
Man tries to give Ray directions.
He looks confused.
Yo: Fujiku?
Man: Fujiku.
Yo: All right. Thank you so much.

They get in the cars, and drive in the direction they think will get them to Fujiku.

In the distance, Mt. Fuji. Teams marvel at its sight.
Ray: Fuji-Ku! Fuji-Ku! (rhyming as if with "Suzie-Q")
Yo: You all right? 

E/J again lament the fact they don't speak Japanese.
Tyler again thrills in the fact that he speaks Japanese, which to him means they'll win the milllion.

BJ/T have caught up to within 3 car lengths.
E/J: Those damn language-knowing ...

Both teams find Fujiku.
E/J: Ray/Yo will be screwed.
ROADBLOCK: Who's ready to coast thru their day?
Phil: One person must experience 3 consecutive thrill rides. Pizza, Thembo, Fujiyama. They must maintain composure, find a man with a message around one of the rides. They must get off the 3rd, and tell the man what message they saw. If wrong, they have to do it all again.
Riding the first ride, exilirating.

Ray/Yo reach a tollbooth. They look in the bag for a token to go through the toll booth. They can't find one. They look inside the car. They search under seats. Ray gets out. The man only speaks Japanese.

Ray: Unbelievable.

Ray: UGH. I don't have my ticket.
Man: Over there.
Ray: I don't want to go to jail for going through without a ticket.
A man comes by, and they get to BUY one.
They get directions.
The man pats Ray on his ass. 
Ray: Oh, lord. Lemme get outta here. They don't do that where I'm from.

   

Tyler to locals: Touch my beard! Touch it!
He takes off in a rocket, with (Jeremy?) close behind.
T: I don't see anyting.
Getting off ...
J: I didn't see anything. I'll probably have to do them again.

Next ride, King of Coasters, Fujiyama.
Tyler tells Jeremy he saw something.
Tyler conf: I didn't, though.

They head downward ... WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

There it is, man, rock on!
Tyler sees it: Lake Yamanyaka (sp)??
CLUE, both teams: Drive to the next pitstop, Lake Yamanaka.
Phil: Once there, they must take a duck boat and paddle to the big swan, the pitstop. Last team to check in, may be eliminated.

Ray/Yo finally arrive at Fujiku Highlands, and quibble.
Yo: You don't have to talk to me that way.
Ray: We're here. You happy?
Yo: Just shut up.
CLUE: Who's ready to coast through their day?
Yo: It has to be me.

That confirms the 6-Roadblock limit, no?

Yolanda takes ride #1. She has trouble keeping her eyes open.

Tyler tells BJ about trying to throw Jeremy off.
Jeremy tells Eric how Tyler tried to "be sneaky."
E: I hate the hippies.

Yo takes the 2nd ride. Whew!
She finishes the 2nd, and starts the 3rd. WHOOOO!!!
Downward, sees Lake Yamanaka sign.
She claps. She gets out.
Man gives her the clue.

Ray: Drive to the next pitstop. Let's go.
Ray tries to get directions.
Man: Right.
Ray: He said right, but pointed left.
While riding in the back of the car, Yo: I needed that break! I hate your driving!

BJ/T and E/J a car length apart arriving at the Lake.
They haul ass.
E/J: Hope the hippies are ready for a paddle race!!
Both teams run their way down the dock, jump into paddle boats.

They pedal with their legs.
Pedaling madly, hippies.
Keeping steady pace, frats.

Man: Welcome to Lake Yamanaka, Japan.
Phil: BJ/Tyler, you are team #1. Good news. You've each won a TMobile sidekick and 3 years' service.
Phil: Eric/Jeremy, you're team #2. I had no ideas that you could get out pedaled by the hippies.
Both teams snark at each other on the Bathmat.
Phil: Are you thinking about what might happen at the very end?
J: BJ/T are playing dirty. Tyler tried to lie to me today, to throw me off.
T: You guys are tough competition. We're just trying to get a leg up.
J: Last leg, it's on.
Man: Welcome to Lake Yamanyaka.
Phil: Ray/Yolanda, you're team #3, the last team to arrive. This is a non-elimination leg, and you're still in the race. But I need to take all your money, possessions, except the clothes on your back and passports. Tough, in a country where you don't speak the language, but you could go to a million dollars.
Ray: We're gonna win the check.
Yo: We're racing for the million.
Ray conf: We're good at being underdogs. We've had flashes of greatness. If a million dollars isn't enough to race for ...
Yo: What is?
