Coutzy:
We're on.
Previously on blah blah blah everyone U-Turns Paul and Steve, James and Sarah came first. Kym and Donna didn't finish.
Tonight, have team rivalries gone too far?
And more than one team will struggle to finish the leg. 8 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?
Opening credits.
Coutzy:
Dubai has transformed itself from a small shipping port to an expanding global city, in the heart of downtown Dubai, teams will depart.
James and Sarah depart at 5:47 AM, and must make their way to a marina, then await for the docking of the Dubai Pearl. Once it docks they must find the skipper to find their next clue. I smell a time waster.
Sarah feels that their previous win will show that she's got a brain behind her hair and make up.
Sticky and Sam depart at 5:59 AM, GraJo depart at 6:09 AM
Grace feels she needs to learn to shut her mouth and let Joseph do the talking.
Sarah and James are at the marina and have found out that Dubai Pearl will dock at 9:30, so they're going to find extra information.
Michelle and Jo depart at 6:10 AM, and it's significantly lighter out than when GraJo checked in. I smell a rat there.
The team that doesn't mean any 'arm and GraJo are at the Marina, along with The Cheerleader Twins.
James has told the other teams about the 9:30 docking time, which Sarah feels that they shouldn't have shared, so they're off arguing about Sarah being overdramatic, and James being too easy going.
Notably, they put on bright smiles and say good morning to a passer by.
Shane and Andrew depart at 7:04 AM, and are frustrated by bad taxis because they are used to being the ones in control.
There's a bit of confusion with their cab driver who isn't sure whether they want the Dubai Marina or the Beach Hotel Marina (That they're supposed to be at)
Paul and Steve depart and whinge about U-Turns. Paul says it's time for Evil Paul to come out, which happens to be the same as Sexy Paul and Normal Paul (Dunno about Sexy Paul, but I see the Normal Paul bit)
Ross and Tarryn have departed, and as expected, the cops are at the wrong marina. Shane doesn't want to pay the cabbie, and it seems that they don't, since he's driven off.
Evilpaul and Steve are at the Marina, and the other teams have noticed that the cops should have arrived before them.
The others start messing with Evilpaul and Steve, who are wondering if they're supposed to do something before they wait (Smart move.) The other teams are being very helpful in their repetitions of read the clue, especially Grace.
Evilpaul goes on a bit of a speech about bullies, and the fact that he had a bit of a weight problem growing up.
Grace keeps niggling at Paul, and he tells her he's not interested in speaking to her.
When the boat arrives, Paul is the clear winner to the skipper, and it's a Detour: Count em up or Price em up.
In Count em up, teams must count out a stack of dried limes (Hint: Don't do this one)
In Price em up- Teams must make their way to a marked jewellry store and arrange 7 pieces of jewellry from cheapest to most expensive.
All the teams are off at pretty much the same time. Paul and Grace each have a whinge about the other. GraJo are thinking they should push Evilpaul's buttons more often.
Paul talks more about bullies and his time in high school, and we go to an ad break.
Coutzy:
And we're back.
My previous bit about all teams heading off was erroneous. Lucy and Emilia have just departed at 9:42 AM.
Their cabbie wants to take them to the Dubai Pearl building, which leaves the sister wondering how they're going to wait for it.
James is talking strategy with Sarah about marker limes, which Sarah rightfully declares is dumb.
The cheerleaders are first to the limes. James and Sarah and GraJo right behind.
All teams except the sisters and Sticky and Sam are at the counting. Ross finds the others vocally counting very distracting. Paul and Michelle are also complaining about the cops making noise.
Michelle and Jo guess 1513, and are wrong.
Sticky and Sam can't find the lime stall, so they've told their cabbie to go to the jewellrey store, which they've found quickly.
They lament that their only experience in the field is buying things for their ex-girlfriends.
Sam asks for a magnifier to look closer, and promptly asks which way it's supposed to go.
James and Sarah's guess of 1214 is wrong, so they'll try it Sarah's way instead of James' way.
Evilpaul the accountant talks about his IQ putting him in the top 2% of the country and they get it right and they'll move on to deal with the Anonymous U-Turn that is head.
The cops are also out and off to the U-Turn.
EvilPaul and Steve have to go back to their cab and get their bags, but The Cops don't. They can see each other and are footracing to the U-Turn.
Ad break.
Coutzy:
And we're back
The cops and EvilPaul and Steve are still footracing.
The Cops have U-Turned EvilPaul and Steve, with the boys right behind them. The way things are going they'll be the most U-Turned team in history.
Paul has a speech about how 5th is their best finish, and its a bit cowardly (Not to mention bloody stupid) to U-Turn them for purely social reasons.
The Cops move on and they have to fly to Istanbul, Turkey as Evilpaul and Steve head off to Price Em Up.
Michelle and Jo recount the exact same number, and decide to pick the number 1 less than their first guess, and it turns out it's correct.
Steve says he has a few bits of bling and makes quick work of the task. His first guess is wrong, but he moves 1 item and gets it right, blowing past Sticky and Sam. By Paul's estimation, the U-Turn set them back 10 minutes, if that.
Sticky and Sam finish the task, and Michelle and Jo get their flight clue.
Paul and Steve have recovered and gotten the clue in 3rd place.
Ross and Tarryn have their second guess of 1496, which is correct.
Michelle and Jo have an Emirates timetable, and have found a 2:50 PM direct flight to Istanbul, which they book by phone.
The sisters have arrived at the limes while GraJo and Hunners Chick are still counting.
Sarah increases the volume to try and put the other teams off. She calls it a tacic, and James calles it a dirty tactic.
GraJo have got it wrong on their next try. Grace suggests that the judge is wrong instead.
Paul and Steve have beaten the cops to the airport.
Shane and Andrew want to speak to Paul and Steve and tell them why they did it. Paul is not interested in them feeling sorry for it after they've watched it backfire.
Sarah tries the Grace tactic and tells the judge he's wrong. He must get tired of that.
GraJo have finished their task.
Hunners Chick have switched, and she promptly gets distracted by the shinies, trying them on.
The sisters hit the correct number and they're off.
GraJo pass the U-Turn, and Grace spends some time dancing with the U-Turn sign, completely forgetting that she hasn't seen Paul at either task.
Hunners Chick are out of the jewellery task in last place, they're worried that everyone is in Turkey already.
The direct flight that the twins picked up was delayed, so every team has made it on, they'll arrive at 6:55 PM
Scramble out of the airport and Paul and Steve are first to a cab, and their having a good old road race with GraJo.
Lucy and Emilia put in a pretty strong showing for it.
Paul turns as Steve yells out to him, and wouldn't you know it- Grace gets a hit from his backpack, sending her reeling.
Grace yells and screams at him, calls him an idiot and asks if he is really that threatened by her.
We cut to an ad break as Lucy and Emilia try to keep the peace.
