The Amazing Race, Ep. 21.5

Roadblock: make a scale to balance rocks and wood

NN ended up passing up AR, who happened to misinterpret the clue that said "lightweight" so Abbie thought she could do it. I can't count how many times Ryan said "I should have done this". I love how Jaymes was having fun talking to locals while he was putting his scale together. He made up some good time because his dad's a carpenter.

Trey did an awesome job and team TL passed up RK by just a little and left JB in the dust. Brent just couldn't figure it out, and then started to feel sick.

Detour: Straw Dogs or Bamboo Jungle
That had to be so hard to maneuver those long bamboo poles in such tight areas, and the poles were so long! I wonder how many people they killed with those things.

In the midst of trying to tie their load, JJ tossed a couple poles to the ground, which then got mixed up with TL's poles. JJ pedaled away while the camera shows 3 poles on the ground...oh no!!! Upon arriving and being told about their mistake, the guys are exhausted. Now we just have to hope that JB struggle and/or get lost.

The standings at Pitstop #5:
1. James & Abba
2. Abbie & Ryan
3. Natalie & Nadiya
4. Rob & Kelley
5. Trey & Lexi
6. Jaymes & James
7. Josh & Brent

Josh and Brent get lucky, and it's a non-elimination, which I was afraid of. Speed bump ahead for those 2.
