SORRY THIS IS LATE. MY INLAWS ARE IN TOWN SO IT IS HARD TO GET AWAY AND UPDATE THE BLOG. MY APOLOGIES.
"The Sprint of Our Life"
I hope I can remember all the nicknames I've given the teams. I just don't have the energy to check my last post so I'm going to wing it.
Phil reminds us that this is a DOUBLE ELIMINATION LEG!!! WOOT!
TAIPEI, TAIWAN
The teams will be flying to Jakarta, Indonesia. The Engaged couple leave first. The other teams all gather at the airport and they are wondering where the grandparents are. When they show up everyone cheers for them.
All teams arrive in Jakarta and get tickets for an overnight train to Yogyakarta. The Siblings are already fighting. WOW. They are just arguing over NOTHING. The brother is super sensitive and the sister has no patience for him. Yikes. Not good.
When the teams arrive in Yogyakarta, they'll race by taxi to Goa Jomblong Cave where they'll get their next clue.
The Grandparents arrive FIRST(!!) and get the next clue:
ROADBLOCK: One team member must spelunk down the cave and search for a mask and daggar and then climb up a bamboo ladder to deliver the goods and receive their next clue.
FIRST, the Grandparents have to do the speed bump for coming in last which requires them to untangle a crazy knotted rope. They get it done and join the other teams who have already started spelunking!
It looks awesome. It's so lush and beautiful. HOWEVER, all I would be thinking of is how many freakin' spiders are down in that cave. I have anxiety just thinking about it. Gross. The rest of the teams arrive and now everyone is ready to "spelunk". YIKES. The cave is super dark and scary. I would be so klaustrophobik in that cave. I'm just gonna say that "spelunking" is not for me. But give me a zip line ANY DAY. I would love to do that.
The first wave of teams are going up the bamboo ladder. The Grandparents are FIRST and they receive the next clue.
DETOUR: "Shake your money maker" or "Be a ticket taker". In "Shake" teams must make their way to a congested area of town and earn tips. One of the team members will dance, the other will accompany them on a drum. They need to earn 30,000 Rupiah to complete the task. In "Ticket" the teams make their way to a popular mall and work as moped/motor bike parking attendants. They need to park enough to earn 15,000 Rupiah to complete the tasks. Both teams will need to head to an orphanage once they finish the detour to get their next clue. They must hand over their earnings from the detour to the orphanage AND they have to notice a sign that instructs them to hand over ALL OF THEIR MONEY, too. (Not just earnings). Ok, the sign is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES. No one should miss it, but I'm guessing most will.
Twins - Shake
Colts - Shake
Grandparents - Ticket

Gays - Shake

The Engaged team is first to the orphanage and give them their earnings...but they miss the sign. Seriously?? It's RIGHT THERE!
PIT STOP: Teams will make their way to Kraton Palace for the Pit Stop where TWO TEAMS will be eliminated!
Engaged, Twins and Grandparents are on their way to the Pit Stop. None of them read the damn sign. They will be sent back by Phil to give all their money before getting checked in.
The Boarders saw the notice just as they were leaving and left all their cash. Uh-Oh, Survivor left their clue at the Detour. SNAP!! They have to go back to the Shake it place and find it.
Sibs miss the sign. Dating SF miss the sign. Colts miss the sign. COME ON, PEOPLE. It's RIGHT THERE!
Twins head back to the orphanage. Sailors get to the orphanage and SEE THE SIGN!! So do the Showgirls!! Good eye!
BOARDERS are the 1st team to arrive!!!! They get to go to Ireland!! WOOT!
