Leg 9: Abu Dhabi -> Bandung, Indonesia
Nicole and Travis lead it off. Leo & Jamal oversleep and end up leaving at the same time as Ally & Ashley. They are looking forward to confronting Nicole & Travis about why they U-Turned them. They met up at the airport and Nicole & Travis said that part of the reason was because they lied about the last U-Turn.
Route Info: They have to pick 2 rams and take them to the arena and they have to head-butt in order to be able to move on.
Nicole & Travis are first, followed by Ally & Ashley. Leo & Jamal were way too into it...man can they be annoying! Jason & Amy were in last. However...Tim & Marie's cab broke down before they could leave, and Jason & Amy passed them. KARMA!
Nicole & Travis and Ally & Ashley make the first train to leave to the next location. Leo & Jamal show up at the last minute and also make it on the train, to the dismay of Nicole & Travis. Jason & Amy literally showed up as the train was leaving. Darn it! How great would that have been if Tim & Marie were the only ones not to make that train?! Both teams now need to wait an hour for the next train.
Detour: For the Elephants or For the Birds
In For the Elephants, they have to collect food at the market and transport it on a trolly and feed the elephants. In For the Birds, they have to pick up a pair of matching birds and get it to sing for the judges.
Ally & Ashley do the elephants, and arrive first, followed by Leo & Jamal. Ally & Ashley were very confused and they didn't pick up the food from the market first. They showed up at the zoo first...bummer. Leo & Jamal were then in first. Ally & Ashley continue to struggle getting the food in the cab. They start to argue and decide that maybe they should do the birds instead. They stick with the elephants, and unlike Leo & Jamal, they had to make 2 trips with all the food because the sugar canes were too long. Jason & Amy show up as Ally & Ashley are leaving to get the rest of their food.
Marie wanted to see the elephants so "we are doing the elephants". Good grief...if I was Tim, it would be very hard to not punch her in the face. Tim & Marie also pass them up, and Ally & Ashley are now in last.
Nicole & Travis go for the birds and are first at their location. Their birds sing and they are moving on. They are the first team to get to the Road Block.
Road Block: Assemble Angklung
They have to assemble an instrument with 8 notes and play a complete octave.
Nicole chooses to do it even though Travis is the more musical of the 2. He thought that since they had a lead, he was comfortable with her doing it and that they would finish quickly and stay in first. Unfortunately, she didn't really get what an octave was and how to choose the different notes.
Leo & Jamal arrive and enter the arena and get everyone dancing with them...they looked like idiots. Leo passes up Nicole, who still can't figure it out. Jamal shouts to Leo to destroy his instrument so no one could cheat. Nicole ran over to try to see and he picked it up and was trying to run away from her as she was trying to look at it. These 2 teams are really not going to like each other now after that.
Tim, who is a music teacher, also finishes and his instrument is correct. Nicole is still trying. It's now a race between Amy and Nicole. Amy thinks she has it...and she does! Travis is embarrassed. Jason & Amy feel bad, so Amy goes back and helps Nicole. She practically puts it together for her! Wow, that's sportsmanship, but wow...it's a race!. At least they knew there were 2 teams behind them at that point.
Finally, Nicole finishes, and if it hadn't been for Amy, I don't think she would have ever gotten it.
