Why does this just feel like a detour where one team from each detour gets eliminated? lol

Jon & Ana are going to McDonald's. :lol: They wanted to figure out more info. Meanwhile, the 2nd ferry teams are getting to the bun scaffold tower. Chaos of teams hooking onto ascenders. Bernie is climbing first with Han and Lori right behind. Brett does this for a living and is monkeying up the tower.

Brett easily scales up the slippery tower and grabs the clue. Scott says this is chaos. Bridget is hooking onto the ropes. Bernie grabs the clue. Josiah is right behind too. Han and Lori have theirs momentarily after. Carson has his too. Scott is impressed by Lori's climbing skills. Nick & Mike off next while Erika is next to Bridget on the climb.

Erika nearly went sideways on the ropes while Pops and motorcyclists are going up. Jasmin is climbing. "You know how to climb a tree."

Jeff (older) has his clue while Jasmin screams words of affirmation to Courtney. They have it!

Teams are starting to catch up to Jon & Ana. I guess the early ferry was useless for them. "We were not expecting them anytime soon." Melinda & Erika run back into the ferry terminal. Even the motorcycle rednecks are back. Jon & Ana are boiling.

Commercials.

I'm actually cracking up that they did this and threw a fancy new name on it as if it was a totally different thing. For some reason, I thought it was gonna be like each path had a different roadblock and a different set of detours, but in hindsight, that would be messy lol

Reminds me a bit of how the US version never really made the Face Off work for them.

We return to the crowd crush for the ferry back to the main island. Scott points out there is 13 teams and is confident Lauren & Jackye will be eliminated. Shady. Lauren & Jackye reach the Roadblock. Jackye is going to climb and is standing in the rain. She's already having issues and slips off the first rung. "Just one right move at a time." - Lauren.

Jackye gets proper footing and is on the way up.

Nick & Mike and Carson & Jack asking taxis for the street park. Some teams having luck while others aren't. Courtney & Jasmin are without a taxi.

Rooting for them, but it will be a miracle if their not one of the two axed teams.

Nick & Mike's audition tapes are shown. "If you really want something, you just gotta go for it." Alyssa sees this Fork in the Road will be chaotic with everyone bunched up. They introduce themselves as opposites attracting. They want to have fun otherwise what's the point.

Jackye & Lauren get their Roadblock clue and felt like they had just won the race! An entity overtook Jackye and had her emotional on the way down. :funny: Courtney & Jasmin still out of luck for the taxis not knowing where they are going.

Carson & Jack arrive at the FITR(fancy Detour). Dance or Sing. Nick & Mike are choosing the Dance.

Carson & Jack choose Dance as theatrical performers. Alyssa & Josiah choose singing. Ernest & Bridget are dancing. Bridget immediately sees a foreign language task and say "thank you, next." Bernie & Carrigian choose Dance.

In Dance, teams must learn a lion dance choreography. In Sing, teams must learn a Cantonese opera.

Alyssa & Josiah are the first at the Fork/Detour!

Carson & Jack and Nick & Mike arrive at the lion dance.

Teams leaning strongly into Dance. Would be funny if Sing side is easier.

Han & Holden think they can do sing because they know Vietnamese. Oh no. :lol:

Larry & Mark choose Dance as they don't even understand another language.

Courtney & Jasmin are experiencing a language barrier a la Jaime & Cara TAR14-style.

Jon & Ana choose Sing as they have a better chance of not being last as the Dance filled up quick.

Brett & Mark fill in the last Dance spot while Melinda & Erika are going to Sing automatically. Pops & Jeff are picking the sing board. Courtney & Jasmin feel this taxi situation is out of their control. "What in the world..."

Commercials.

We return to Courtney & Jasmin struggling to find any lead. "Address?". They finally got one and finally read the clue even more. They figured it didn't make sense to them with the English alphabet spelling. They introduce themselves. "We're not U-Hauling it."

Jon & Ana and Han & Holden arrive at the opera task. Josiah fails miserably first try. Brett & Mark arrive at the dance. Bridget wants to be the lion head. Bernie & Carrigain feels this is nerve-wracking as all seven teams are there. Brett & Mark are Las Vegas performers and have worked on Cirque.

Carson & Jack are winging it as they want to see the full production firsthand. It's an empty room. X "The beat, no good." - judge

Nick & Mike's first attempt is no good. The teamwork needs to function properly.

Courtney & Jasmin pick dance. Oh wait, there was still one spot left?

Alyssa & Josiah perform, and are not accepted as they were too quick. Jon & Ana perform with one of the audience members laughing. :funny: Judge critiques the performance.

Han & Holden are dressing. Jackye & Lauren are on the ferry experiencing the sights. Mark & Larry only know the chicken dance and arrive at the dance.

"Are you a good instructor, because we're dumb." - Mark & Larry

Nick & Mike's 2nd attempt didn't go through. Carson & Jack go for a third attempt and pass!

ROUTE INFO: Pit Stop! West Kowloong Cultural District Art Park! Last teams to arrive at both Dance and Sing WILL be eliminated.

Nick & Mike are flustered and Mike is struggling to squat. They are stressed and are having communication troubles.

Commercials. AllState is a new sponsor.

Does AllState have a mascot? We are likely getting a challenge at some point.

We return to the 7-year auditioners in a seventh state of shock. "Bow with motion."

Bernie & Carrigain aren't shown dancing, but receive the clue. Ernest & Bridget are out of there too with ease. Nick & Mike finally get it in 5th place out of the dance task.

It's Courtney & Jasmin vs. Mark & Larry for a fight to survive.

Meanwhile, the Sing fancy Detour is pretty lively. "This is my childhood dream." - Jeff (younger). Jeff 2x realize one other team had not showed up *cough*Lauren & Jackye*cough*.

Alyssa & Josiah go for a fourth attempt and receive the clue!
