Amazing Race, Ep. 22.5

5th Leg...Vietnam

Dave/Connor lead it off. Dave was told he should have surgery on his leg within 7 days, and it sounds like they are going to end their race after this leg.

The groups are stunned to find out that Jessica and John were eliminated on the last leg, while still holding onto the Express Pass. I'm still shocked about that as well.

All of the teams have decided that whoever gets to the U-Turn first should U-turn Joey/Meghan or Mona/Beth because they are the last of the Jessica/John "minnions".

Road Block: Find Political Quote

They have to watch a performance on a stage with flags, and then they are shown a phrase. They have to remember the phrase and find it among a ton of posters. They were not allowed to take any notes.

Pam/Winnie were the first to complete the task. Chuck also completed it fairly quickly. Meghan and Beth decided to work together by memorizing part of the quote and then helping the other with the other half.

The teams then participate in the bamboo dance

Detour: Make Your Move or Make Your Meal

Make Your Move--they had to match up human chess pieces onto a lifesize board to match up with a gamesize board.

Pam/Winnie don't waste any time completing the task while Caroline/Jennifer have no clue what they are doing and are just putting random players on the board.

Make Your Meal--they had to take a shopping list and buy all of their ingredients and then make a specific soup.

Chuck/Wynona can't find the market, and Wynona gets really frustrated with Chuck. And then they realize they didn't bring chickens with them!

Double U-Turn
Teams that are U-Turned must complete both of the Detours

Pam/Winnie U-Turn Meghan/Joey, as per the alliance's plan. Meghan/Joey U-Turn Chuck/Wynona. This will probably signal the end for them, because they are still trying to find the market.

Pitstop #5:

#1: Pam/Winnie

#2: Max/Katie

#3: Mona/Beth

#4: Bates/Anthony

#5: Caroline/Jennifer

#6. Meghan/Joey
#7: Chuck/Wynona 

ELIMINATED--Dave/Connor--they eliminate themselves because of Dave's injury; they skipped the tasks and went directly to the pit stop
