Amazing Race, Ep. 22.7

7th Leg: Botswana
Bates/Anthony lead it off.

Caroline/Jennifer get pulled over by he police for speeding! They try their best to sweet talk and flirt their way out the ticket, but it didn't work and they have to go to the police station to pay the fine (equivalent of about $100). Bummer. They get to the police station, but they don't take US dollars, and they aren't allowed to leave the station to exchange the money. So, they find a guy who will hopefully do it for them...they just have to trust that he will come back and not take off with their money. Lots of wasted time for them and money lost...not looking good for them. Their lucky, their guy did return and they paid their fine.

Bates/Anthony choose to go for the Fast Forward to skip all additional tasks. They have to both water ski for 1 mile in water that has a warning for crocodiles. Yikes! That water is absolutely gross! I would not get in that water. They collide on the start, but they recover and complete the task! They can now go directly to the pitstop.

Uh-oh Max/Katie get nailed in the speed trap. They do not need this in addition to their Speed Bump. And THEN, after paying their fine, Max backs up into  a pole! Oh my...this is not going well for them.

Meanwhile, Joey/Meghan are just driving around lost.

Road Block
They have to take baby goats in a very rickety canoe that looks like it's hand-made. Those goats are so cute! Chuck/Wynona were having so much trouble catching the goats and getting them to stay in the canoe. They're country folk...they should have some experience with animals.

Mona/Beth can't seem to figure out how to steer their canoe and they spend a lot of the time in the reeds and going the wrong way. Lots and lots of arguing going on in that canoe.

Somehow Caroline/Jennifer make up a lot of time and are in the water at the same time as Chuck/Wynona and Mona/Beth. Joey/Meghan still have not found where they are supposed to be.

Speed Bump
They have to put on an outfit and do a dance. They complete it without too much trouble.

Detour: Brains or Brawn (Horse or Donkey)
The donkeys are too stubborn for Pam/Winnie, so they switch Detours. Caroline/Jennifer and Mona/Beth don't seem to have too much trouble with their donkeys and they finish about the same time.

Chuck/Wynona make up a song, to remember the 10 animals they need to memorize and make quick work of the Detour. Pam/Winnie make a mistake and have to go all the way back to the beginning.

Joey/Meghan get some stubborn donkeys, and Max/Katie take the lead. Somehow Meghan/Joey get their donkey cart wrapped around a tree! How the heck did they do that? Now their plowing right through a tree...they are out of control!

Pam/Winnie are wrong again! They decide to go BACK to the donkeys!

Pitstop #7
#1: Bates/Anthony
#2: Mona/Beth
#3: Caroline/Jennifer
#4: Chuck/Wynona
#5: Meghan/Joey
#6: Max/Katie
#7--ELIMINATED--Pam/Winnie

That was a very surprising ending! Pam/Winnie started off the leg in 2nd place. Max/Katie had the Speed Bump and the speeding ticket! Meghan/Joey were lost for half the race! You just never know what's going to happen.
