Amazing Race, Ep. 24.6

Leg 6: Sri Lanka
Dave & Connor lead it off.

Racers are off to a museum for their next clue. The museum isn't open, so all of the teams will get to go in at the same time.

Road Block: Pump It Up
Task: Find 4 taxis with their color cards and then get them filled up at the gas station.

Rachel picks green, since they are the green team. She unfortunately looks at the color of the taxi...instead of the card in the window! Oh no!

This thing was total chaos! There were only 2 pumps and like 1000 of these taxis that they had to have the drivers maneuver close enough so they could fill them up. Cord was smart and had them back in from the other side, and there wasn't a line.

Finally....if it wasn't for John telling Rachel that he was taking one of his "red" taxis, she would have never known what she was doing wrong. She kept looking at her clue after she thought she had 4 filled up and they told her she didn't. Thank you John!

Big Easy actually was picking up the taxis to move them closer! Hercules! lol

Brendon & Rachel are now in last, but luckily, they make it on the train with the rest of the teams. Whew!

Detour: Trunk or Sheets
Trunk: work with an elephant and attach a chain used to move logs; they have to move 6 logs (elephant does 3 and racers do 3); only 4 teams can do this task, the rest will have to do the other one
Sheets: load up elephant waste to combine with water and scraps of paper to make 5 sheets of paper

Jet & Cord, Jessica & John, Dave & Connor and Leo & Jamal do the Trunk task. Flight Time & Big Easy, Brendon & Rachel, Caroline & Jennifer do the the Sheets task.

It was so cool seeing those elephants lifting those logs! Jessica was the only girl, and she was killing it with those big long logs, all by herself! You go girl! Dave & Connor had trouble getting the chains right. I think this is the first time I've seen them struggle.

Jet & Cord are the first ones to leave the Trunk task, followed by Leo & Jamal, and then then Jessica & John. Wow...Dave & Connor, still struggling!

Big Easy was diving right in with his hands right into the elephant poop like it was no big deal. The mixture they made looked so gross! It kind of reminded me of papier-mache...and I always hated that! Caroline & Jennifer struggled with getting their sheets smoothed out, because they couldn't get the bubbles removed, but they eventually got the hang of it. Flight Time & Big Easy were hilarious, giving little shimmies when they were flattening their sheets.

Flight Time & Big Easy were the first to finish the Sheets task.

On the way to the pitstop, the Cowboys and the Afghanimals were having a back and forth race with their cabs. Meanwhile Dave & Connor and Flight Time & Big Easy also had a race, and it just so happened that their cab drivers were brothers! Whoa! What are the odds?!

Leg 6 Standings:
1. Leo & Jamal
2. Jet & Cord
3. Jessica & John
4. Dave & Connor
5. Brendon & Rachel
6. Flight Time & Big Easy
7. Caroline & Jennifer--NON ELIMINATION LEG

Somehow, I missed Brendon & Rachel finishing the Detour, because as they were showing all of the teams in the cabs, there were not showing them at all. I was thinking they must still be there...but all of a sudden, they get out of the cabs, and they end up in 5th place!

We finally see something that Dave & Connor are not good at...the foot race! Poor Dad, I was worried he was going to injure himself as he was trying to beat Jessica & John. It was clear he didn't stand a chance. As long as they are ahead, they are good, but if anyone is close, they will get beat every time.
