puddin:
BJ/T first to arrive: Oh! It's like fingernails and guts.
Tyler: You sure you want to eat this?
Yo: YOU sure?
Tyler: Like potato chips.
Yo: This is a big ass bowl!
Ray: They get a 2 cricket head start.
BJ looks sick, already.
Teams snarfing down crickets, grasshoppers ...
Teams consdier whether to leave.
Yolanda calls it quits.
They head back to the cab.
Yo: I think BJ will have a hard time.

MoJo arrive at the ROADBLOCK.
Mo: We're out of it.
Joe: No we're not.
Eric: Where the heck were you guys!? Joseph, hurry! You'll be ahead of whoever doesn't get the FF!

Joseph cuts onions.
Jeremy calls himself "the iron chef."
Q: Who's ready for monkey business?
Yo: Me!
Joe: Well, we know who got the fast forward.
Ray: It'll take them at least 3 hours to eat all that.

Back at the restaurant ... one crunchy cricket at a time.
Tyler gets up and dances.
"This guy is named Jiminy!"
They feel like throwing up, joke about pad thai.

Ray: You're doing good, baby!
Yo: Thank you!

Monkeys come closer.
Monkeys steal Jeremy's food. 
J: Ridiculous! They keep on taking my stuff!
People outside looking on, laughing.
E/J first table put before the monkeys.
E/J, CLUE: Travel to Koh Kret Island.
Phil: Take a ferry to the island. Go to Buddha Garden. Search grounds for the next clue.

In cab, E/J wonder if, just maybe, they'll be ahead of the FF team.
Tyler: Save room for dessert! Oh. I'm so full right now.

Yolanda and Joe perform their artistic feats on tables.
Joe's table goes to the monkeys. Chaos!
Off they go, in 2nd.
Yolanda's table next.
Off they go, in 3rd. (Or last, depending on your perspective at this point.)
Ray: We're only like 5 minutes behind. I know BJ is about to throw up.

In the restaurant ...
On cue, BJ tosses his cookies. 
Tyler: Can you do it?
BJ: Gonna be tough.
Tyler: We're in really big trouble.

COMMERCIAL.

puddin:
BJT finish the FF !!

puddin:
TEAM # 1!!!!!!!!!!1

WHEW

supsandalee:
You heard BJ when they finished with the bugs?  TTAI :lol3:

puddin:
Tyler: Best crickets I ever had.
BJ: This is like a Turkish prison.
They try to eat crickets, grasshoppers ...
"When you get down to the bottom, it's all legs and exoskeletons."
 
BJ is finished. Tyler, almost.

E/J take ferry to island.
They search the Buddha Garden grounds for CLUEBOX.
E/J, CLUE: DETOUR.
Phil: Move it, or Alter it.
Move: Make way on foot to pottery factory. Transport 72 clay pots to this boat on the river. Use the traditional Thai method of carrying on wooden boards. Requires coordination.
Alter: Make way on foot to Buddhist temple. Make shrine to Buddha. Completely gold-leaf a statue. Teams not detail oriented could take a while to finish.

E/J opt for Alter. (Or is it .. ALTAR?)
MoJo get off the ferry, search the garden.
They argue looking for the cluebox.
Joe: I like the incense.
Monica: We've gotta find the cluebox!
Ray/Yo cross paths with MoJo.
Ray/Yo get CLUE, take over 2nd place while MoJo look aimlessly.
Ray/Yo will do the Alter/Buddha thingy.
MoJo.

Tyler is finishing, slowly.
Music changes ... he's done.
Woman: Perfect!
FF: Make your way to the next pitstop, the Marble Temple in Bangkok.
Phil: A Buddha shrine built in the 19th century.
CLUE: "May be eliminated."
BJ/T: TTOW! TTOW!

E/J start gold-leafing the Buddha.
Ray/Yo grab a box and get started.
MoJo see Ray/Yo and E/J ahead of them, change their minds.
They'll head for the Pottery Barn.
(And doubtlessly get on the wedding list, right?)

At the potter's ...
Monica: How do I carry this?
Joe: One board at a time.
CRASH!
Joe, to woman: Show us. Come on.
Monica picks up her pots.
Joe turns.
CRASH!
Pots break ...
Joe: I don't know, Mo!

BJ/T celebrate being in first place at the Temple.
Woman: Welcome to Bangkok.
Phil: BJ/Tyler, you are team #1. From last to first. Fantastic leg for you guys. Did you bring the Travelocity clue? Golden gnome means a great prize. (Nope.) The regular gnome, but you'll be one of the three teams in the finals, racing for $1 million dollars.
