Leg 2: China
1st Clue
Cowboys have a language barrier...a Chinese guy tells them 50 minutes and they think he said 15 minutes to run to the location..uh oh! Luckily they ask again and the guy says "really far"...but apparently they still didn't understand and they keep running! The Afgahnimals decide to work with Mark & Mallory because they loved Bopper and were fans of Mallory and her dad. All the other teams decide to take the Metro. This isn't looking good for the Cowboys. 3rd times a charm, and they finally get a cab. However, from 1st place to last place, they are last to get their clue. They literally arrive just a little bit behind Caroline & Jennifer, who WERE in last place when they started the leg. BUT they did get a cab before the girls.
Road Block: Child's Play
Task: put together a toy car
Dave is sure he'll have it together in no time because he has a lot of children and grandchildren. The problem is the instructions are all in Chinese and there are a lot of tiny parts.
All of the teams were having fun interacting with all of the children who were playing around them while they were trying to put the toys together. Some of them were really a distracting, and they were actually hindering the putting-together process.
One consolation for the Cowboys was that they did arrive before any of the teams had finished building their toy...with still no sign of the girls.
Mark was the first one to finish his toy, and he and Mallory were off to deliver their toy. But oh no! She left Mark's bag as they were trying to get their car in the trunk of the cab. He didn't see it and she thought he would grab it.
Finally, the girls show up and they aren't sure who should do it. Ultimately, Caroline decides to do it, but she complains the whole time that she hates assembling things. Jennifer talked to Cord along the sidelines and was hinting that she would like them to give her their 2nd Express Pass.
Jet thinks he's finished already, and he is! They passed up Flight Time & Big Easy, Joey & Meghan and John & Jessica. Before the Cowboys left, they agreed to give Caroline & Jennifer the Express Pass so they can skip the task. Jet was thinking this was a really good idea because now they are the only team with an Express Pass.
Meghan finally figured out her car and she helped John because he was struggling. They were the last 2 teams there, so she would have been better off not to help him. But, they had made a friendship on their last race together, and she felt bad for him. That was nice of her!
Detour: Featherball or China Cup
They either play a game like hackeysack to kick a shuttlecock 10 times without it dropping, or to get a treatment on their bodies using cups.
Mark & Mallory argue whether they should go back to get his backpack. He wants to go back because he doesn't have his clothes or medicine. She has his passport and she said he had his medicine, but he still thought he needed to go back.
Margie & Luke are the first team to arrive to try Featherball. Dave & Connor show up next. Lots of teams ended up their together: Margie & Luke, Leo & Jamal, Brendon & Rachel, Dave & Connor, Caroline & Jennifer, Jet & Cord, Mark & Mallory (even after going back to get his backpack), and Flight Time & Big Easy.
Seeing how many of these teams were struggling with featherball, I'm wondering why no one chose the China Cups. I think all you had to was lay there while they put the cups on you.
Dave & Connor are the first to finish, followed by Caroline & Jennifer. Jet made an amazing flying save, and they got 10!
Lots of teams appeared to finish at the same time. This could be a huge race to the Pitstop.
Mark & Mallory struggled, and they were in full freak-out/panic mode.
Leg 2 Standings:
1. Brendon & Rachel
2. Margie & Luke
3. Caroline & Jennifer
4. Dave & Connor
5. Flight Time & Big Easy
6. Jet & Cord
7. Leo & Jamal
8. John & Jessica
9. Joey & Meghan
10. Mark & Mallory -- Eliminated
Note: The first 7 teams arrived within seconds of each other! Never before have there been so many teams at the mat at the same time! Poor Phil was losing count on who arrived in what order!
Mark & Mallory did pretty good to make it as close as they did because ALL the other teams were still at the mat when they got eliminated. It's sad that they had to get eliminated in the way that they did. It looks like the bag is probably what did it.
