Leg 5: Malaysian Borneo -> Sri Lanka
Jet & Cord lead it off, but almost all of the teams will be traveling on the same flight. Team Brenchel started about 4 hours behind, and the flight was closed by the time they got to the travel agent. Margie & Luke also didn't make it on the first flight, and they are going to try being on standby for the first flight, while Brenchel left to take a different flight that had a very risky 30 minute connection. Oh no...watch Margie & Luke make it on that first flight. They are trying to make it to the connection and they are running through the airport...and Brendon drops one of his bags, and he has to stop and go back for it. Meanwhile, they are closing the gate. Oh no! Somehow, they manage to make it just in time, and they are actually ahead of the other teams. Margie & Luke didn't make it on standby, so they have to take a later flight in the morning.
Brenchel arrives at the next stop ahead of all the rest of the teams, but they soon arrived as they were waiting for the gates of the temple to open.
As all teams (except Margie & Luke) are traveling in cabs to the Detour, they are all in danger! The cab-like vehicles they are traveling in are all just about hit by other vehicles. Everyone is swerving all over the place. Like idiots, the Cowboys and the Afghanimals are all waving their arms outside the vehicle, and I'm like "dudes...keep your arms inside or they're going to get ripped off!" I don't know how there were no accidents.
Detour: Fishing Pole or Spin Control
In Fishing Pole, they have to sit on stilts in the water and each team member has to catch a fish.
In Spin Control, they have to dance learn a dance while spinning plates.
Jessica & John, Dave & Connor, and Jet & Cord choose the Fishing Pole
Brendon & Rachel, Caroling & Jennifer, Leo & Jamal, and Flight Time & Big Easy choose the Spin Control.
Dave & Connor are the first to finish the fish task and Flight Time & Big Easy are the first to finish the Spin task.
Brendon is struggling with dropping his plates. Rachel was so encouraging to him, to keep pushing him to get it. After 14 attempts, they finally get it! Jessica & John were having trouble catching fish and they didn't know if they should switch tasks or not. The last time they switched was in their last race, and they were eliminated after doing so. Eventually, they did choose to switch.
Road Block: A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
One team member has to sew a shirt on a sewing machine.
Connor is worried about sewing...he hadn't sewn since junior high. Big Easy said it was the wrong decision to have him do it, and he decided to make it into a "Mission Impossible" task. Leo and Jet do the task for their respective teams. Jet has never sewn anything, while Leo has watched his mom do it many times. I'm thinking all these guys are going to be there awhile. This might allow Brendon & Rachel some breathing room while they do the Speed Bump.
Leo said he would give someone 1000 rupies if they would do it for him...no takers. He was being so silly, and he was flirting with some of the women sewers in the room. Big Easy said he would NOT being sewing again when he gets home...he'll leave it up to his fiance and his mother. Flight Time was getting bored waiting on Big Easy, so he was entertaining the other sewers by spinning the basketball and putting the ball on their fingers. Big Easy finished, and he joined in on the fun by making them all laugh as he tried to put on the tiny shirt.
Speed Bump: Brendon & Rachel
Pass with Flying Colors--they have to paint the flag on 15 shirts and get them approved. Rachel has done this technique before, so hopefully it won't take them too long. And, it doesn't. I don't think it cost them too much time.
I'm a little surprised that Brendon decided to do the task instead of Rachel. He seemed to struggle quite a bit, but Rachel was there to cheer him on. He did end up finishing before Big Easy, which was a pretty good accomplishment for him.
