Amazing Race, Ep. 23.7

Leg 7: Austria -> Abu Dhabi

Nicole & Travis lead off the leg.

Leo & Jamal make quick work of finding a flight and they get the earliest flight, and the last seats on that flight. There is another flight that would arrive 10 minutes after them, so they won't have much of a lead. The rest of the teams make it on that second flight. Somehow at the first clue, Nicole & Travis arrive in last place.

Detour: Sort it Out or Sew it Up
In Sort it Out, they have to sort dates and put them in a specific arrangement. In Sew it Up, they have to assemble a traditional fishing net.

Leo & Jamal, Nicky & Kim, Tim & Marie and Ally & Ashley do Sort it Out. Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis do Sew it Up.

Big surprise, Marie is screaming at Tim the entire time. Tim was being stubborn thinking he had it right and wouldn't go check, just because he wanted to prove to her that he was right. Leo & Jamal couldn't find a certain type of date and they thought they couldn't go to any other tables. Nicky & Kim were the first team to find the other tables and they kept it a secret from the other teams. The Afgahnimals asked them where they found the other dates and told them if they helped them, they would them if they needed it. Nicky & Kim just said they were busy and basically they weren't going to give up what they knew. Finally, Leo & Jamal found the other dates, and they completed the task first. Tim & Marie finish, and then Ally & Ashley, leaving Nicky & Kim still trying to get the correct dates and repeatedly failing.

Meanwhile at the other task, Nicole did some of her part of the net wrong, so Travis had to redo it. They were in the heat, and things were starting to boil over a little bit. They thought they might need to use their Express Pass. Jason & Amy finished first, and were also ahead of the teams that did the Sort it Out task.

Road Block: Drop & Drive
They have to drop down on a zip line and then get into a race car. They have to go around the track and watch for a sign with the record holders name and time. And there wasn't just one sign, there were like a half dozen, and they needed to remember the times to figure out who had the quickest time.

Leo was the first to get it correct. Travis actually got it on the first try...that was impressive!

It comes down to Ally & Ashley and Nicky & Kim. Ally & Ashley get it first, but it looks like it could be close.

Pitstop #7
1. Leo & Jamal (they were beyond happy, as they were hoping to come in first for the first time in their "mother land")
2. Jason & Amy (so happy they finished before Tim & Marie)
3. Nicole & Travis
4. Tim & Marie
5. Ally & Ashley
6. Nicky & Kim--NOT ELIMINATED=Non-Elimination (Wow, I was totally feeling that a non-elimination leg was coming up soon

Nicky & Kim will most likely start the next leg with some sort of disadvantage. Phil usually says what that disadvantage will be, but he didn't this time. So, we'll just have to wait until next week to find out.
