Amazing Race 16 - Episode 10

Four teams remain. Who will be eliminated next???

The teams are now departing Singapore. The Twins are the first team to depart at 4:47 PM.

FIRST CLUE: Teams must fly to Shanghai, China. When they arrive, they must travel by taxi to Zhujiajiao, which is the "Venice" of China. Once they arrive, a boat will take them to their next clue.

Models take off second and Caite is freaking out that she's the last girl standing. Shut up! Cowboys are third and Cops take off last. They are all at the airport looking for a flight. Caite is telling everyone about her U-Turn. Jordan interviews that the U-Turn was totally personal because Caite just didn't like the lesbians. The Cowboys are very strong competitors and they question her decision to U-Turn the weakest team.

All teams make their way on the same flight to Shanghai, China. All the teams hop in cabs and head to Zhujiajiao. The Models and Cowboys make it first. In effort to show solidarity to his girlfriend/teammate, Brent says "I feel like I'm in like, Sicily. Actually, Brent, I think Venice is the Italian city of which you are thinking. Dumb.

HAHAHA! The Cowboys have the cutest interview. Jet says that Zhujiajiao was very tranquil and Cord gives him shit for using the word "tranquil". Awesome. I like these two. My favorites to win the whole thing are the Twins and The Cowboys.

The Cops and Twins are lost with their cab drivers. Models arrive and get the next clue.

ROADBLOCK: One team member must master the art of making noodles by hand. After watching a demonstration, teams must use a large mass of dough and turn it into 1 Kilo of noodles. When they finish, Ping Ping - the world's shortest man - will give them their next clue.

Caite is doing the task for the Models and Jet is doing it for the Cowboys. Everyone is totally in awe of Ping Ping. The Cops and Twins are STILL LOST. Jeez. They FINALLY arrive at the boats and head to the Roadblock. Jordan and Louie are making the noodles. Jet finishes the roadblock and gets the next clue.

NEXT CLUE: Teams must make their way back to Shanghai to the fashion district where they will find their next clue.

The Cowboys head out. Flour is the key to the noodles not sticking together. Louie finally gets that and starts to use more flour. The Cowboys are on their way to Shanghai. They arrive and get the next clue. (btw - they are so far ahead. The Models should feel REALLY STUPID for not U-Turning the Cowboys when they had the chance.)

NEXT CLUE: Teams must go into the fashion house. Once inside, teams will pick a model who will hand them a sketch of a specific design. They must find all the right pieces of clothing and hand them to the model. If teams have correctly matched the sketch, they will receive their next clue.

Jet "Oh no. Not more fine arts." HA. The Models finally finish and head to Shanghai. Jordan is getting frustrated with the noodles. Cowboys are still looking for the clothes. They are hysterical!! Cops finish and head to Shanghai. Dan is the best brother EVER. He walks up to Jordan and hugs him and tells him to relax and that he knows it's hard and he's doing his best. I love them. I want them to get ahead and make it to the top three.

The Cowboys' model comes back and it's not the right design. They find another shirt and they get it right so they get the next clue.

NEXT CLUE: Teams must now make their way to Hongkou football Stadium where they'll find their next clue.

The Models arrive and choose a model. They look for their clothes. Cops arrive next and look for the fashion house. Jordan FINALLY finishes and they head to the fashion district.

ROADBLOCK: For the first time ever, teams will face TWO Roadblocks in one leg of the race. The catch is that the person who sat out the first time, MUST do this one. Using only a small picture for reference, teams must assemble a giant puzzle that has been cut into 96 separate cards. If assembled correctly, it will reveal a seat number where they can find their next clue.

Cord (Cowboys) gets to work. The Models finish their designer task and they head to the football stadium. Cops finally find the fashion house located RIGHT NEXT TO THE CLUE BOX. Dumb.
The Twins arrive and head inside. The Cops screwed up their design. Cord is still working on his puzzle as the Models arrive and Brent starts putting the puzzle together. Cops try again...and they are WRONG. Twins are wrong, too. They realize that the models just need to switch stockings. Cops need gray, Twins need black. Cops get it right and head to the stadium. Twins are right and head to the stadium.

Brent is kicking some arse with his puzzle. The Cops arrive and Mike is doing the puzzle. Dan is doing the puzzle for the Twins. The wind is not their friend today. Their pieces went flying all over. Yikes. Bummer.

OH, after putting the puzzle together, you have to take up to the stands so they are passed out in the right order to see the message. Cord runs to Section 20, Row 16, Seat 33 and retrieves the clue. That's so cool.

PIT STOP: Teams must now take the subway to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.

Brent finishes his picture and now he must give the pieces to the stands. He goes to Section 3, Row 10, Seat 6. They are off to the Pit Stop.

COME ON, DAN!

The COWBOYS are Team #1 to the Pit Stop. They win a luxury trip to Alaska.

The MODELS are Team #2 to the Pit Stop.

Dan finishes and gets his clue. He heads to Section 8, Row 2, Seat 5 and gets the next clue. They head to the Pit Stop. Mike is still struggling.

The TWINS are Team #3 to the Pit Stop.

Mike finishes and gets the clue and they race to the Pit Stop.

The COPS are the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop and ... they are NOT ELIMINATED. It's a non-elimination race. Phil totally psyches the out. He says "I'm sorry to tell you, you are out ... out in the cold, but still in the race!!" HA!

See you next week.
