Previously on The Amazing Race...

In the Big Apple, 11 new teams got a starting line surprise, The Save!

In the US Virgin Islands, Adam & Bethany climbed and jumped in the lead. A showdown at the sign up board had Michael & Scott in last. Lots of people struggled at the roadblock. Dentist, Jim, found the treasure, giving him and Misti 1st place and the Save.

The last 3 teams at the roadblock agreed on a penalty and a race to the mat ended in defeat for Lisa & Michelle.

10 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Hi all! First time live chatting!

Misti & Jim depart 1st at 4:21 AM. Fly to London, England! Once there, they must travel to taxi to Tower Bridge where they will find their next clue. 6 teams will be on the first flight and the rest will be on the 2nd flight. Everything at the airport is closed.
Tim & TeJay depart 2nd at 5:40 AM. They've been dating for 5 years. "We're petite but we pack a punch."
Kym & Alli depart at 5:43 AM. Tim & TeJay and them share a flight.
Brooke & Robbie - 5:44 AM.
Adam & Bethany - 5:52 (?) AM. They've been married just over a year.

Amy & Maya arrive at the airport. Jim say that they'll have 1 hour and 20 minute lead on the 2nd flight. Amy gave Bethany a pair of shoes because Bethany lost hers on the boat!

All the second flight teams are at the airport. Shelley & Nici are huge race fans.

First flight arrives.

Teams running and in taxis to Tower Bridge. Tim & TeJay find the Pearly King and Queen first. Misti & Jim right behind. Detour.

About Face: Teams must perform a traditional changing over the guard. They must work with a drill instructor to learn steps while following commands. Once they have perfected the moves, they will get the next clue.

Pancake Race: Dress up as chefs and make a perfect pancake. Race around a course while flipping the pancake without dropping, and complete 1 lap under 1 min 15 secs.

Tim & TeJay pick guard. Misti & Jim pick guard. Adam & Bethany pick pancakes. Kym & Alli pick guard.

Second flight arrives.

Brooke & Robbie pick guard.

Misti & Jim first to guard. They're getting dressed. Misti has dressed up in crazy outfits for pageants before. Misti & Jim start learning the steps. Tim & TeJay arrive.

Adam & Bethany arrive at pancakes. They got changed into their outfits and they're watching the pancake demo.

Teams are learning the steps and instructions.

Cablevision says "When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go" - you sure that title is correct?

[Polaroid]

Brooke & Robbie and Amy & Maya at guard too.

Adam & Bethany are alone doing pancakes. Their pancakes are approved on the first try. If you drop the pancake during the race, then you have to remake the pancake before attempting the course. Adam & Bethany finish the detour in 1st! They have 20+ seconds left.

Travel by train to Oxford from Paddington and search Magdalen Bridge for the next clue.

Misti & Jim attempted the steps but they failed. The clue giver is so mean, LOL. Kym & Alli messed up early. The clue giver told them not to even smile or look at him.

Shelley & Nici pick guard. They were both in the military! Dennis & Isabelle, Keith & Whitney and Michael & Scott pick pancakes.

Clue guy to Robbie: "We got knees. God gave us knees."

Misti & Jim on their 2nd attempt. They finish the detour in 2nd!

[Polaroid]

Kym & Alli finish the detour in 3rd. The clue giver tells them to leave but one of them gives him a kiss. He doesn't look impressed.

Shelley & Nici arrive at guard. Teams realize that second flight has caught up. Commercial.

Had I been there, I would have gone for the changing of the guard.  As I watched, however, I figured that the pancake race was the better choice.

[Vitoko]

The royal guards task is really cool to be honest... pancake race... meh!

I'm still getting freaked out by the Misti&Jim
I'm really liking Kym&Alli's attitude... also Amy&Maya are really cool to give away the spare pair of trainers to Bethany

[Polaroid]

And we're back. Shelley & Nici tell their instructor that they were in the military. Their instructor expects a lot from them now.

Brooke is having trouble with the routine.

Keith & Whitney and Michael & Scott arrive at pancakes. Dennis & Isabelle arrive. Adam & Bethany first to Paddington Station. They get on the train right away!

Keith & Whitney going for their first attempt at the course. Their pancakes were approved. Isabella watching... And Keith & Whitney barely failed the course. They were so close! Keith says Whitney was too slow. They have to redo everything.

Misti & Jim and Kym & Alli on the train.

Michael & Scott needed to remake pancakes. Dennis & Isabella's are approved.

Tim & TeJay going for an attempt at guard. They failed. Brooke & Robbie failed. OMG LOL THE CLUE GIVER IS SO SCARY. He told Brooke he would rip off her shoulder and to not call him sir... Omg Shelley & Nici failed. They can't pivot on their toes??? This is so scary.

[Polaroid]

More Shelley & Nici superfan confessional.

Dennis & Isabelle go for an attempt. Keith & Whitney want them to fail. Dennis & Isabelle are superfans too. They've joined archery, Crossfit, running with their backpacks... Michael & Scott having trouble making pancakes. Dennis & Isabelle failed.

Tim & Te Jay going for 2nd attempt. And they've finished the detour in 4th! Amy & Maya on their 2nd attempt... They've finished in 5th. The clue giver tells them to go right away, lol. Shelley & Nici going for 2nd attempt. And they've finished in 6th. Brooke: "Please don't give them a clue... OMG we're officially in last."

[SamualDude]

Another live stand up by Phil! I'm liking this!

[Polaroid]

Keith & Whitney going for attempt. Isabelle: "Please don't make it, please don't make it." And they make it lol. They're out in 7th.

Michael & Scott fail because they drop their pancake about 5 seconds in lol.

Adam & Bethany get the clue as Phil is doing another live clue intro! Drop back and punt! One team member ust propel the punt while the other team member stands on the Oxford side? Teams must do 1 lap.

Misti & Jim and Kym & Alli get the clue for punting.

Dennis & Isabelle and Michael & Scott both race at the same time. Michael & Scott have failed the task because of insufficient tossing. Dennis & Isabelle finish the detour in 8th!

[Vitoko]

Oh man, Phil is really behind schedule this season... now Bethany&Anthony run passed him :O

[Polaroid]

Clue giver is telling Brooke & Robbie what they did wrong. He is so scary omg.

A bunch of teams trying to get on the train... Dennis & Isabelle, Amy & Maya and Shelley & Nici all are on the same train.

Brooke is getting frazzled. OMG THIS CLUE GIVER. I think he said, "You ignored my worldly, Yoda advice."

Michael & Scott not doing well at pancake... Another dropped pancake. Commercial.

[Vitoko]

Brooke is getting frazzled. OMG THIS CLUE GIVER. I think he said, "You ignored my worldly, Yoda advice."

 

Brooke has a really low frustration point...
