Last time on Amazing Race: Farmers became my new faves since Besties went home after losing Zev's passport. Lawyahs are still annoying. Eight teams remain!
WAT PHNOM, CAMBODIA
The teams are now leaving the last Pit Stop. First to leave is Rainbow.
Clue: The teams must fly to the Persian Gulf and find the world's tallest building. Teams will need to figure out that the tallest building is the Burj Dubai. When they arrive in Dubai, they will need to find their way to a statue (that looks like a bear) and take an elevator to the top of the Burj Dubai where they will find their next clue.
Rainbow is heading out to find out where the tallest building is. The Globes are next and they head to an internet cafe. Third to leave is Team USA and go straight to the airport. Miss America knows right off the bat that Dubai is where to find the world's tallest building. You go, girl!! The Globes go to the internet cafe and figure it out, too. The Farmers and the Blondes head out. Ok, I'm going to digress here for a minute. What the HELL is going on with Cheyenne's hair? Seriously, for the last couple of episodes, he's fanned his bangs straight up ... or maybe that's the style? I don't know but his hair just gets higher and higher. It's really bizarre. Back to the show...
Rainbow arrives at the airport and ask for tickets to "the Persian Gulf". Wow. Sam tells Dan that the Persian Gulf is just a large area and they need to figure out where to go. Team USA comes up and tells them it's DUBAI. Um, I don't think Team USA gets that this is a GAME!! Whatever. UGH...the Lawyahs are the sixth team to leave. Keri talks about the "bond" she and Lance share. Of course, he has to pipe up and say that they really just have a lot of expensive deposits on the wedding that they can't afford to lose, so that's why they're getting married. Keri laughs it off as a joke, but it really wasn't funny.
Next to leave are Clueless. DRAMA: Mika is terrified of heights. Last to depart are the Poker Chicks. Basically everyone shows up at the airport while Rainbow and Team USA are buying their tickets and find out that DUBAI is where they are all going. Dumb. The Lawyahs are still at an internet cafe and find out the Dubai is their desired destination. Lance and Keri try to book a flight at the internet cafe. Lance whines that they can't buy the tickets because they are being booked and keep running out. Keri complains that it's not that they're getting booked, it's just the slow-ass computer. OMG. Lance is so annoying. He looks like he's going to cry. He keeps whining and pouting that he knows the website and tickets are being booked, that's why it won't let them buy tickets. I think I prefer Asshole Lance to Whiny Lance. Geesh!
The seven remaining teams manage to book the same flight to Dubai. And...the Lawyahs make it, too. All teams arrive in Dubai, United Arab Emirates at night and everyone scrambles for a taxi. Team USA leads the pack to the tallest building, followed by Poker Chicks, Clueless, Rainbow, the Blondes, Lawyahs and The Globes. The Farmers are trailing (C'mon guys!!!). They arrive at the statue of the bear and the teams have to sign up for one of two shuttles. One goes up to the top first, the other second. Poker Chicks, Team USA, Rainbow, and The Blondes all make it on the first shuttle. After an unexpected detour by their lost cabbie, Clueless are first on the second shuttle, followed by Lawyahs, Globes, and the Farmers.
Next morning, the teams are getting ready to head to the top of the WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDING! The first group heads up. It's actually still in construction so the outer structure and the elevator are built, but there's alot of construction going on. Mika (Clueless) is starting to freak out due to her Altophobia (fear of heights). The first group is at the top. Wow. It looks so freakin' high and scary, but so awesome and exciting, too. They grab the next clue and head down.
The second group makes their way up and Mika realizes that they just had to walk onto a platform and grab the clue. No scariness. The group heads back down.
FAST FORWARD: This is the only fast forward in the whole race. The first team to complete it, can skip all tasks and head directly to the pit stop. To complete the fast forward, teams must find the Dubai Autodrome. There, one team member will need to drive in an F-3 open wheel race car (?) and do a lap in under 45 seconds in order to complete the task. ONLY THE FIRST TEAM TO COMPLETE THE TASK WILL BE ABLE TO FAST FORWARD.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now make their way to the parking structure at The Dubai Mall to find the Amazing Race marked cars (Audi SUVs). Then, they will need to drive themselves to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve where they will ride 4x4's to their next clue.
The Blondes decide to do the fast forward and the rest of group one head to the desert. Group two finds the cars and head to the desert. EXCEPT for the Lawyahs. Lance and Keri try to find the cars and get lost in the parking structure. I'm not sure which Lance I despise more. He's so pathetic right now with the whining. They finally find it.
The Blondes are at the racetrack and Cheyenne is racing.
Team USA, Rainbow and Poker Chicks are the first to the desert. They are now in their 4x4's and headed to the clue. Clueless is lost. Lawyahs are having problems. Lance is driving and Keri is "directing"? Anyhow, they take the wrong exit and Lance just doesn't have the energy to yell at Keri. I swear he looks like he's going to cry. Maybe he's Bipolar? You know, manic and hyper one day and then totally depressed and whiny the next.
In the desert, the Team USA finds the next clue.
ROADBLOCK: Teams will have to "drink in the landscape". One teammate will take a traditional bag and search the desert for urns with water that have been buried in the sand. Not all of the urns contain water. Ahhh...tricky. When they have found enough water to fill their bag, they give it to a man for his thirsty camels and receive their next clue.
Brian (Team USA), Tiffany (Poker Chicks) and Dan (Rainbow) all decide to "drink the landscape". Big Easy (Globes) and Matt (Farmers) are looking for water.
Back at the racetrack, Cheyenne is doing laps. Meghan is having issues because she's afraid of Cheyenne crashing. HE MADE IT in 40 seconds. Awesome. "I'm like Ricky Bobby." Love it. The Blondes get a ride in a Maseratti to the pit stop, Souk Madinat Jumeirah.
Brian found water and is hiding the fact that he found water so the other teams don't see. Although, Brian whispers to Tiffany and Dan where the water jug is. BRIAN!! It's a GAME! Brian gets the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: After completing the road block, teams must head back to the city and find SKi DUBAI, a huge indoor ski resort covering 4 football fields. There, they will find their next clue.
Poker Chicks and Rainbow find the water, but Dan's ladle breaks. Tiffany fills her bag and then helps Dan by filling his bag, too. They finish, followed by the Farmers (!!) and all head to Ski Dubai. Meanwhile, Clueless is still lost although they are seeing other teams and know they are close. They pull over and spot Team USA. Brian yells that they are close and points where they need to go. Erika interviews that Brian is WAY WAY WAY nicer than she would be. She thinks people see her a certain way because she's Miss America, but she can "pull the claws out" when she needs to. :)
Lawyahs are still lost. Back in the desert, Poker Chicks are trying to pull out and they puncture the radiator. Fluid is POURING out of the car. Rainbow is waiting for the girls to get their replacement car since Tiffany helped Dan with the ladle. They are lucky that the Lawyahs are lost and Clueless just got there, otherwise, this is a RACE, people!! Globes are heading out to Ski Dubai as Canaan (Clueless) starts searching for water. The replacement car arrives and Poker Chicks and Rainbow go to Ski Dubai.
The Blondes arrive at the next pit stop and are team #1. They get a trip for two to Jamaica!!
The Lawyahs FINALLY arrive at the desert. Lance is searching for water. It's just Lance and Canaan.
NEXT CLUE: Build a snowman or find a snowman. In Build a Snowman, teams will need to carry snow from inside the building and take it OUTSIDE in the blistering heat to build a traditional snowman. If they can complete the snowman before it melts, they will receive their next clue. In Find a Snowman, teams take a lift to the top of the hill and sled down into a large pile of snow. There, they will go through the snow and find a tiny snowman. Once found, they will receive their next clue.
Canaan finally finds water and Clueless heads to Ski Dubai. The Farmers decide to find a snowman since Matt snowboards in his boxers every Winter. Hmmm, not sure that matters. OH YES IT DOES. They do not have coats. They have to stay in their shorts/summer clothes. Yikes. It can get cold. Poker Chicks, Rainbow, and Globes do find a snowman, too.
Lance is still looking for water and going a little crazy. He's talking to himself. Mika is driving to Ski Dubai and she laughs about how in Dubai they can drive 120 (mph) and it only feels like 60. Canaan says "Yeah, that's kilometers, so you are only going about 60." HA! Lance finally finishes for the Lawyahs and I prefer Depressed Lance. That way he only looks a d-bag and pathetic. But Asshole Lance came out a little when he returned the bag/ladle and threw them on the ground in front of the guy and said "have a nice life". Rude.
The teams are all finding a snowman and are FREEZING. Looking for a tiny snowman is hard. Team USA found the snowman!! They are headed to the pit stop. The Farmers and Poker Chicks decide to build a snowman instead. The Globes show up to find a snowman and Rainbow decides to stick it out. Meanwhile, Keri told Lance the wrong direction and rather than yell at her, he goes back into whining mode. She says she doesn't know where they should go and Lance whines "I knnnnoooowwww" with a pathetic - and somewhat constipated - look on his face.
Over at Build a Snowman, the Farmers and Poker Chicks are starting to build. Canaan is backseat driving with Mika. Lawyahs are talking about their "poor, terrible, dispicable" decisions.
Team USA is team #2 at the Pit Stop.
Rainbow gave up and went to Build a Snowman. Globes stuck it out and FOUND A SNOWMAN!! Clueless made it. The Globes tell them to grab their jackets on their way out. Globes are nice. The Farmers are finished and head to the pit stop. Clueless decides to build a snowman since Mika has never sledded in her LIFE!
Globes are team #3 at the Pit Stop.
Poker Chicks finish and so do Rainbow.
Farmers are team #4 (!!!).
Poker Chicks are having issues with directions. Lawyahs decide to build a snowman.
Rainbow is team #5. Poker Chicks are team #6.
Clueless finish. Lawyahs are building.
Clueless is team #7.
Which means, Lawyahs are #8. THEY ARE ELIMINATED!!
See you next week!
