Amazing Race, Ep. 22.3

3rd Leg: Bates/Anthony lead it off

But first, we have to check in with Dave/Connor. He needs to have a sonogram to tell for sure what the status of his leg is. Until then, he was given some crutches to use.

Off to New Zealand, and the hometown of host Phil Keoghan.

John/Jessica hand over the 2nd Express Pass was given to Dave/Connor in honor of the alliance that was made. They decided to honor their pact because they obviously really did need it the most now, with Dave's injury. They think no one saw the exchange, but Bates/Anthony saw it.

Dave/Connor visit the hospital and he does have a torn tendon and muscle. They get a boot for him, but they are doomed because he's not going to be able to do much with the boot and crutches. They meet up with the rest of the teams and give them the verdict. Everyone feels really bad for them.

All of the teams are on the same flight to New Zealand. Uh oh...Chuck/Wynona are about to be left behind on the connection...they don't see any other teams.

All the teams drive themselves to a lake and pull off numbers for boat tours. Somehow Dave/Connor get their first. Chuck/Wynona are in last. The tours start in the morning, so they spend the night in tents on the beach.

Detour: Rev It Up or Reel It In

Dave/Connor get to Rev It Up and see that they have to drive with a clutch. Dave says he can't do that, so they change to Reel It In, which is catching fish. They give it a go, but when they don't catch anything for awhile, they use their Express Pass to skip the task.

At Rev It Up, teams need to take turns running a course around cones. They need to have combined times under 83 seconds. Lots of combined times in the 100s. It took most of the teams several runs to pass. Who would have guessed that Katie would be much better than Max? Poor guy, he just couldn't handle it.

Besides Dave/Connor, Chuck/Wynona are the only other team to choose the fishing task.

Road Block: Shemozzle Race

Oh boy, this looks like it could be very wild. Collect 12 chicken eggs (as many as you can carry safely at a time) while going through an obstacle course of getting covered in molasses and then getting covered with feathers. Then go down a big slip-and-slide into some disgusting water. Phil Keoghan tweeted that you don't even want to know what's in the water: "ignorance is bliss"...yuck, I can only imagine!

Pitstop #3:

#1: Dave/Connor--first team to win a leg with someone on crutches
