Racing report
Amazing Race Season 27, Episode 10, "Bring the fun baby"
Film date: probably 2015-07-10
The last pit stop was in the Moonlight garden, right across the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. And this also seems to be where teams are released from:
1. Justin & Diana 17:10 2. Kelsey & Joey 17:18 +0:08 3. Logan & Chris 17:23 +0:13 4. Tiffany & Krista 18:00 +0:50 5. Denise & James Earl 18:28 +1:18
Teams must travel by tuk-tuk to Kachora Bazaar where they will find their next clue. The clue also says "Get ready for a U-turn. It's coming sooner than you think."
"This is our third 2nd place finish in a row, and we're tired of it. We want to win!", Joey wants to go for first
"This is gonna to be a tough leg for us. I started vomiting a few hours ago and my stomach is really bad" Chris
During the tuk-tuk ride teams discuss the upcoming U-turn. Justin & Diana talk about using it on Chris & Logan.
"We're a little scared of the U-turn. We know that we have used ours and Justin & Diana know we are on their heels. We're kind of their top competition so...", Joey
Teams reach the clue box at Kachora Bazaar and get their road block clue in the following order:
1(+0) Justin & Diana
2(+0) Kelsey & Joey
3(+0) Logan & Chris, after #1 have left
4(+0) Tiffany & Krista, as Joey is on his delivery run
5(+0) Denise & James Earl, as Chris is on her delivery run
Road block: Who's full of hot air?
In this road block contestants must use compressed air to blow up balloons and fill a fairly big net. The net hangs from a pole and once full they must place it on a bicycle and deliver them to a wedding party planner. Once delivered they must ride their bicycle back to the start of the task where their partner is waiting.
Since this is India we gets hordes of people watching the contestants as they struggle with the balloons. Even though they have compressed air the task is hard and tedious. It is easy to add too much air so the balloons explode and tying them shut is always a hassle.
"You have to take a couple of seconds to appreciate where you are", Justin looks up from tying balloons
"I hear they have really amazing weddings in India, I was hoping to get to be a part of one but this isn't really what I had in mind", Logan while inflating balloons
"Logan, smart. Do this smart", Chris give some hints
"Don't talk to me", Logan is no in the mood through
And then Chris & Logan continue to argue vocally for most of the
leg.
"Driving anything in this city is scary. Being on a bike, which i the least safe form of transportation, is very scary", Justin
And Justin have it easier since it is still light outside when he is riding his bike. By the time Tiffany get to cross the bridge it is dark as well.
While waiting at the road block Diana starts applying small rub-on
tattoos to the kids who want. Some adults consider themselves kids as well.
"So we have to wait in agony and watch now?", Krista to Chris about their role while their partners do the task
"I'm struggling with this netting right now. Why can't I figure out this netting?", James Earl struggles
While waiting at the road block Denise talks to Krista
"Don't U-turn us", Denise to Krista
"Are you out of your minds? I would never ever do that to you and you know that", Krista is almost offended by the question
Darkness is falling as Tiffany makes her way across the bridge with her balloons. She is having problems with locals riding very close and popping balloons. Eventually one local succeeds in ripping her net so almost all of her balloons spill out.
"Why did you do that?[/i}', Tiffany
The next shot, after the commercial break, is of Tiffany delivering her few remaining balloons and receiving her next clue. The producers must have decided that she did all the steps needed to complete the road block and that she should not be punished because a local sabotaged her progress. According to inside sources the the situation during this leg was even worse than we see in the telecast. This is a probably the shadow of a dark part of Indian culture.
Teams complete the road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock):
1(+0) Justin* & Diana (5-5) 2(+0) Kelsey & Joey* (5-5) 3(+0) Logan* & Chris (5-5) 4(+0) Tiffany* & Krista (5-5) 5(+0) Denise & James Earl* (4-6)
Route info: "Make your way to the Goyal Book Store and search for your next clue. The U-turn is right ahead."
As the first team reaches the U-turn board at the bookstore they pass Phil who live narrates their progress. Teams arrive at the U-turn in the following order:
1(+0) Justin & Diana, U-turns Logan & Chris
2(+0) Kelsey & Joey
3(+0) Logan & Chris
4(+0) Tiffany & Krista
5(+0) Denise & James Earl
"You are a tough team and we want to help our friends", Justin on why they U-turned Logan & Chris
The clue box holds a detour clue: Bring the groom or bring the fun
In bring the groom teams must pick up a wedding groom on horse and his entourage (including a band). They must then start the generator used to power the lamps. Then one of them have to carry one of the heavy electric candelabras while the other pushes the generator. They have to follow the procession until they reach the wedding feast where they have to deliver the groom to his bride.
In bring the fun teams must pick up a carnival ride and push it across town (about .5 miles) to the same wedding. Once they have arrived and given 8 kids a ride (all 8 fit in one go) in their carnival ride they will receive their next clue.
"Bring the fun baby", Justin gets the title
Justin & Diana arrive at the pick up place for the carnival rides at about the same time as Tiffany deliver her balloons. So it probably took just short of an hour to get back to the road block start, travel to the U-turn board and then to the start of the detour.
The carnival rides are decorated with battery powered lights so they are quite a spectacle as teams push them through the traffic.
"If we ever get married some day, which we will, we'll get married like this", Joey
"If I have a weeding it will not be this elaborate", Kelsey has a different opinion
Once teams arrive with their carnival rides it turns out to be very easy to find 8 kids who want to ride. After teams have pushed the ride for a while they get told that they are done and can pick up their next clue.
"We need to be nice so the kids like us. All we do is yell at each other like evil people", Logan nails it
At the start of the bring the groom side Tiffany & Krista have a hard time to get the generator going. At least that is the way it is shown in the telecast. In reality they got the generator going quickly but then a local turned it off so they had to go again. Eventually they get the generator going again and they can start making their way to the wedding.
Just after Tiffany & Krista's wedding party has started to move Logan & Chris turn up for their second detour. And this is where we realize how the episode is going to end as Denise & James Earl have not arrived at the start of the detour yet.
"This is like a feather, this is nothing", Logan tries to use a mental game on the heavy candelabra
"This sucker is heavy", James Earl is also carrying a candelabra
Teams complete the detour in the following order:
1(+0) Justin & Diana, fun
2(+0) Kelsey & Joey, groom
Logan & Chris, fun
3(+1) Tiffany & Krista, groom
4(-1) Logan & Chris, groom
5(+0) Denise & James Earl, groom
Route info: "Search the party for Phil and check in to your next pit stop".
The wedding area is delimited by walls of hanging fabric. Phil is waiting in a separate area behind an opening in one of the walls. He is not trivial to find. As soon as contestants find the opening a bunch of kids come rushing up and follows them to the mat.
Teams reach Phil in the following order:
1(+0) Justin & Diana, win $5000 each
2(+0) Kelsey & Joey, minutes after #1
3(+0) Tiffany & Krista
4(+0) Logan & Chris, while #3 is still on the mat
5(+0) Denise & James Earl, while #4 & #4 are still on the mat. are eliminated
This was a very linear leg. The only placement change was Chris & Logan who lost one spot due to the U-turn. But we got drama and a colorful, and sometimes ugly, look at Indian culture.
"I love him unconditionally", Denise about her son
Leg 10
- It was longer to push the swing than to carry the generator/lights - 900m/1000yd vs 500m/550yd, plus the swings further down the road.

I believed the green team will survived leg 10 due to the spoiler that they were seen together with the Cheerleader in HongKong.where? I think only Tiffany & Krista were spotted in HK

It looks like teams start off from mid-afternoon to evening.What I don't understand is, how is bright when Kelsey & Joey are at the U-Turn point?
Linear leg? :(
Another Justin quote? :gaah:
I did not, hence the question mark, but it just sounds like something Justin would say.Another Justin quote? :gaah:
Where did you hear that?

It's probably confirmed, the episode title released for episode 11 is a spoiler that the Green Team made it
"It's not easy beating Green"
In The Amazing Race 11, the Teams talked about Rob and Amber in the leg, after they where eleminated, it could also be the case here. i dont think it is, but it is a possibillity.
Well, if anything's gonna knock Justin & Diana out of the race, this is it.Kym & Alli, the Cyclists, didn't go out due to a U-Turn. They went out due to a botched Fast Forward attempt.
It's a longshot, but my prediction was them going out in 5th to a U-Turn (because, history. Abbie & Ryan, Joey & Meghan, Cyclists. Teams everyone plotted against, and that was their fate)
Press pics are up and have Chris / Logan at both Detours; they and Justin / Diana are the only two teams at the ferris wheel detour.So Logan & Chris get U-Turned? Wonder if this is the nail in the coffin for them?
Things that make you go "hmm..."

I say bring back the FF every leg and dump the Darn U-Turns. :groan:

They could have switched?
Also not sure if this goes here, but they are seen on jetskis in the season promo and we haven't sheen that yet, so...
Is it possible that Logan/Chris are only switching detour but not necessarily being U-turned?
I think the only scenario which they could survive it is if the next leg got no bunching point, so at least they can use up the lead of them on T/K and D/JE, but that would mean they are probably being u-turned by Justin/Diana, which is not very likely as L/C are not a threat to them.

I think it's possible that Logan & Chris would be switching tasks. Blowing balloons would be hard for me so maybe it would be hard for them.
The last pic shows it is probably a double one?But the W-Turn board is huge. Why would they have a second version of the W-Turn board (in the same season)? :groan:
It looks larger than leg 9's

Another Justin quote? :gaah:It seems like it although i could also see Joey saying that. ???
I guessed correctly and wtf now we have 5/10 Justin quotes :groan:Another Justin quote? :gaah:It seems like it although i could also see Joey saying that. ???
