TAR 30 EPISODE 9 & 10 LIVE UPDATES/COMMENTARY WED 2/14/18 9-11PM EST
RachelLeVega:
And we are on the air, everybody!
Previously on TAR, six teams raced around Zimbabwe where they were hit with a game changing twist: swapping partners! Six new teams raced through the bush. "We are so close!" Cody & Jen cruised through while Kristi & Jessica hit a snag. Teams reunited as they raced into Harare where Lifeguards and Indy used the U-Turn forcing Cody & Jessica and Henry & Evan to duke it out to avoid elimination. But the final task had teams singing a different tune... *gibberish montage*. And the 8th leg was the twins' swan song. 5 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?!
And we begin with Jessica & Cody revealing they may be racing in flip-flops. I wonder how this will work out. Instead, they go back to Eastgate Mall and buy a pair of Zimbabwean sneakers using the remainder of their leg money.
Intro. Weird.
RachelLeVega:
We come back from commercials with Lucas & Brittany departing 1st at 8:41 to Manama, Bahrain! A modern financial center that still embraces their Islamic design and culture. They must self-drive to the port city of Manama. The two head off in taxis. They are still aware just because they are 1st doesn't mean they will stay in first.
Kristi & Jen head off in 2nd and Alex & Conor go off in 3rd... where we are provided with cringey puns from their Indy car racing lifestyle, and how Alex has traveled to Bahrain before. Henry & Evan and Cody & Jessica leave in 5th and 6th.
Meanwhile, Lucas & Brittany are booking their flights at a travel agency. They want to think positive. They connect through Addis Ababa and Dubai, and immediately we are struck with Lucas & Brittany missing Lucas' passport. Everyone chattering about clearing customs...
RachelLeVega:
Speculation arises from the sitting teams while Lucas & Brittany are freaking out in Addis Ababa with a missing passport. 45 minutes until boarding time. Lucas reveals he is forgetful and feels for Brittany. 21 minutes before boarding. "Sounds like Karma was kicking in earlier than I anticipated." - Jessica... The first rule of Amazing Race club is to always have your travel documents AKA passports with you.
All teams except Lucas & Brittany boarding the flight from Addis Ababa into Dubai. Lucas & Brittany are screwed.
Commercials.
RachelLeVega:
We return with the first four teams arriving in Manama, Bahrain! They get into their marked cars with their clue. Teams must travel to the Dhow Harbour in the Fishermen's Market to receive their next clue. Henry & Evan and Cody & Jessica comment on Lucas' missing passports. Meanwhile, Lucas & Brittany are retrieving a rushed expedited passport in Dubai, one flight stop away from Bahrain.
Alex & Conor arrive at the shipyard. It's time to haul some timber!
Teams must carry heavy pieces of timber across the shipyard to a scale and weigh 300 lbs exactly of wood to the foreman to earn their next clue.
Kristi & Jen come in right after
RachelLeVega:
Kristi & Jen are dragging their timber, which is more efficient, while Indy are carrying each end of the logs. Henry & Evan arrive 3rd at the shipyard. Cody & Jessica, meanwhile, are lost in navigation.
Kristi & Jen keep on dragging their driftwood while Alex & Conor are tired! Henry & Evan making up the time against Indy.
