Amazing Race, Ep. 22.4


3rd Leg, continued...Dave/Connor lead it off; headed to Bali, Indonesia

Most interesting clue reveal ever: feed coconuts to monkeys...they peel off the shell to reveal your clue. Some monkeys worked faster than others. They were so cute!

Detour: Sandy Bottom or Fruity Top

Sandy Bottom--collect sand from the bottom of the river and transport it 200 yards. Most teams don't choose this task for obvious reasons.

Fruity Top--teams have to assemble a fruit tower that matches a sample exactly.

John/Jess really struggled with this challenge and decided to switch to the Sandy Bottom challenge. They really, really fell behind. All the other teams made it to the Road Block before them.

Road Block: Find a Surfboard

Dave/Connor didn't get there first, but somehow Connor found the the surfboard first and they got to the mat before Pam/Winnie. What an accomplishment for them.

Caroline/Jennifer got the wrong surfboard twice and had to go back and keep looking, and even though they still didn't know what the guy on the surfboard meant...they had the right one! They didn't realize that was the priest from a previous pitstop.

Meghan/Joey went to the wrong beach. Mona/Beth also get it wrong, but Meghan/Joey show them the board they should be looking for because they are in an alliance.

Chuck/Wynona get it wrong, and he got lost on his way back from the surf shop with the board and he lost a lot of time. However, it didn't matter, because the one and only team behind them (Jess/John) was having absolutely no luck.

Jessica/John have the Express Pass but don't use it! Are you kidding me? It's now dark out and he's trying to look for the board with his headlamp on. He didn't see the logic of using the Express Pass at that point. He thought that there was a team behind him or that maybe someone didn't recognize something correctly. So...that means they are the first team in the history of The Amazing Race to go home with an Express Pass in their pocket. How disappointing. And all Phil can say is "Oy vey."
