Amazing Race, Ep. 24.3

Leg 3: China -> Malaysian Borneo

2 flights to Borneo, but only 6 teams can make it on the first flight. There is a 3-hour difference between the flights. Since all of the teams finished the last leg only minutes apart, no one can dilly dally.

Somehow Margie & Luke and Dave & Connor beat Brendon and Rachel to the airport, even though Team Brenchel left first. The Cowboys and the Globetrotters also make it, followed by the Country Singers. Where is Team Brenchel? They are stuck in traffic. Yikes! One spot left and it goes to the Afghanimals. Darn it! Brendon and Rachel show up minutes later...bummer!

Road Block: Face the Falls
Task: Repel 10 stories down a water fall to get a gnome and a clue

Dave & Connor are first there, and first to finish. Cord missed the clue because he was looking on the wrong side, so he had to start over.

Joey & Meghan (who were in the 2nd group), forgot to tell their taxi to wait, so they were in trouble because they were already in last place. They had to walk up the road until they could find a taxi.

Detour: River Delivery or Jungle Run
In River Delivery, they have to build a raft and take a box of supplies down the river. In Jungle Run, they have to go through the jungle with a blow-dart to get a bird (each team member had to knock down a fake bird out of the tree), and then go down the river. Both tasks go down the same river and they have to follow signs and read their clue to know which signs to follow. This proved very confusing for some.

The first few teams all chose the Delivery. Margie & Luke had trouble communicating on their raft and they started floating away. Leo & Jamal make their delivery first, and instead of lying they actually tell Jet & Cord that they made it to the right place.

On their way back, the Afgahnimals' raft got stuck and then started to fall apart as they hit really rough water. The Cowboys floated past them. Caroline & Jennifer also got into trouble when one of them almost lost a finger.

Dave & Connor missed where they were supposed to get off. So, they had to carry their heavy box way back up river to get to the drop-off.

Flight Time & Big Easy and Caroline & Jennifer chose the Jungle Run. They were having a blast dancing with the locals after successfully shooting their birds.

Jessica & John and Brendon & Rachel make it to the Detour together. Jessica & John finish their raft quickly, but it looks like it's falling apart even before they got it to the water. I don't see any way how that it is going to stay together when they get to the rough water. But somehow, Brendon & Rachel's falls apart first, and theirs looked so much better. Oh no, Brendon & Rachel got separated when their raft fell apart and Brendon started floating down the river, and then Rachel lost the rest of their raft. Seriously?! I don't want them to be eliminated already...especially before Joey & Meghan. They go to shore, and Brendon takes off down the river to retrieve the parts and they managed to put it back together.

Jessica & John had a really good strategy for shooting their birds. The person not shooting let the blow-dart rest on their shoulder to keep it steady. Jessica got hers very quickly, but it took John quite awhile to get his.

Brendon gets his bird, but Rachel was having trouble getting hers. In the meantime, Joey & Meghan were catching up...but their raft started falling apart! Yes!
