The Amazing Race 3.29.09
This week on the Amazing Race, the six teams headed to Thailand.The teams all ended up taking the same flight. Mel and Mike got off to a bad start; the teams were supposed to use a photo of a statue of the gorilla and find the zoo. Sadly, their cab driver was wrong and took them to the beach instead of the zoo and they lost valuable time. The teams then traveled to a spice shop and had to find their next clue in one of ninety nine drawers. Jaime and Cara were very impatient during this part of the challenge. Mel and Mike were pretty easy going even though they were so far behind. The next detour involved either using a rickshaw and running for two miles or filling barrels on a boat. Mel and Mike and Kisha and Jen chose the barrels and the other teams chose the rickshaws. Mark and Michael decided to tamper with the tools and the bicycle pumps and use a taxi to guide them which made them incur two half hour penalties. In the end, Tammy and Victor got there first but were the first team to be allowed to check in so they got a free trip to Hawaii. Mark and Michael finished third. Margie passed out after checking in due to dehydration. I felt very bad for Luke because he looked so scared. Mel and Mike were sent home and I am truly sad to see them go.
