11th Leg:
Max and Katie lead off the 11th leg, heading to Belfast, Ireland.
Road Block: Bog Snorkling
Yuck! 100-yard lap in under 4 minutes. That looks awful! At least they get a wetsuit. Bates/Anthony are done in no time and are off to find the next clue. Katie was flying through the course, she was amazing! Then her mask fogs up and she couldn't see anything. But, luckily she made it under the 4 minutes.Mona was whimpering the entire time...somehow, she managed to also make it under the 4 minutes.
Then poor Jen was basically stuck in the mud--she was barely moving. She was over 4 minutes, so she had to do it over. She told Caroline she didn't think she could do it, but Caroline kept telling her that they weren't quitting. Her 2nd time, she looked much better, but then she stopped when she was almost there. She kept saying she couldn't breathe. Caroline was doing everything she could to encourage her. Aw, they even said a prayer together, and she then went out on her 3rd attempt. With only a few seconds to spare, she did it!
On their way to the Detour, they were given the wrong directions, and end up somewhere completely wrong.
Detour: Tray It or Spray It
Tray It: Since the Titanic was built in Belfast, they have a Titanic challenge. They have to serve 5 courses that actually served on the Titanic. They have to follow a seating chart and a menu and get the meals correct. Wow, that was confusing! And they had 100 yards, which included many flights of stairs!
Max/Katie almost started off wrong, but quickly figured out what to do. Bates/Anthony didn't figure it out so quickly and they ran the 1st course all the way to table, but it was wrong. Their 2nd try was correct. Mona/Beth made the same mistake, and kept getting it wrong. They were completely clueless!
Max/Katie and Bates/Anthony had a lot of trouble with the 5th course. They couldn't figure out the chartreuse jelly. Bates was getting really angry at Anthony because he kept giving him the wrong thing.
Max/Katie finally get it right and they are the first to finish.
Mona/Beth are still confused. Anthony asks if they are looking at the list of courses and kind of gives them the answer of how to figure it out, and they were still confused. FINALLY, they eventually figure it out.
Spray It: Caroline/Jennifer are the only team to choose this one. At a skate park, they have to copy a picture and graffiti it on the wall. I think most teams would have been better off doing this challenge...who knew the Titanic server thing would be so hard!
Pitstop #11:
#1: Max/Katie
#2: Bates/Anthony
#3: Mona/Beth
#4: ELIMINATED--Caroline/Jennifer
12th and Final Leg:
Max/Katie lead it off...again!
They are on their way to London, and then back home to Washington DC. First stop is the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I have a dream" speech. Then it's off to take a photo with President Barrack Obama. Somehow, I'm thinking it's going to be a cardboard cut-out or something, and NOT actually the President, like they are all thinking. Yep! I was right!
Mona/Beth are lost...again.
Roadblock: Spy Games
There are 50 spies in suits and they have to figure out which one has their next clue by using a secret password. Cool challenge! This could take awhile though.
Bates got his clue and the combination to open the brief case is the order they finished in Indonesia, New Zealand, Vietnam. After a couple tries he got it! They are in the lead...go Bates/Anthony!
Mona/Beth are catching up...how did that happen?!
Max can't find his person. He runs out of agents, so he turns around and heads back. Uh-oh. Finally, he finds his person, but Beth also found hers. They both open the brief case at about the same time, but Max/Katie got a taxi first.
Detour: Play Ball
One person is suspended on a zip line while the other player is dressed like a big ball. The person suspended drops the ball and the other person must catch it.
Bates/Anthony are there first and complete the task before the other 2 teams arrive. Max/Katie arrive and get started, while Mona/Beth can't find where to go in and get their clue. Max/Katie struggle, but as soon as Mona/Beth arrive, Max makes the catch!
Mona/Beth...no surprise are terrible at this.
Go Global
Search through a ton of globes in a big bin with a hi-lighted country. They have to find the countries they visited and put them in the right order. This could take forever!
Anthony was killing it in the pit...he was throwing them out left and right. Finding Bali was giving them some problems. They find it, and they're on their way! Woohoo! This is almost unheard of...no one else is even close! Max/Katie didn't even arrive at the challenge until after Bates/Anthony were done.
Max/Katie decide to switch because he thinks she would be better in the pit. Duh, why wouldn't you start that way?
And coming to the finish line...it's Bates and Anthony! Winners of The Amazing Race Season 22!!!
Pitstop #12 for the win:
#1: Bates/Anthony
#2: Max/Katie
#3: Mona/Beth
