And then there were 4... - Leg 10
Back for yet another week of the Amazing Race. It's getting down to the wire... "4 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?".
And off to Istanbul, not Constantinople? Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks apparently.
Gretchen and Meredith are currently in last place, but as usual everyone will end up on the same plane, and it's anybody's game.
It's amazing how 4 teams of 2 become 2 teams of 4. Gretchen & Meredith and Uchenna & Joyce... and then the other fools.
Wow, paranoia is setting in, it seems. Rob tries to be an ass by convincing Gretchen that there is an "earlier" flight than they were already on, even though he doesn't believe one exists. But now Uchenna catches wind of this, and actually FINDS an earlier flight from Dehli to Istanbul, while Rob is still convinced he's on the earliest one. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Classic! Time to pull out the ole Wile E. Coyote card by Rob. Now Rob continues talking smack against G&M/U&J because they're not on the earliest flight, when really they all left the night before, and will arrive 2 hours earlier. That puts the old and the bald at the front of the pack... if they can stay there through the pitstop, I can only imagine what the remaining fools will be saying.
Find the Travel Gnome! HA! Travelocity product placement at its finest! I'm just waiting for the moment where the last teams realize that the other teams are in front. OOH, such excitement.
DETOUR: Kilos or Columns. Columns is cool, it's like a treasure hunt... anyone rememeber the game Myst? Yeah, sounds like one of those games. Kilos is simply a matter of weighting people to have a whole lot of kilograms. Well, that's not too great. Uchenna and Joyce opt for the kilos. What a challenge... once you convince people to step on the scale, it's all good. G&M also take the kilos approach. I really hope someone does the Columns... though I do admit it probably would take more time, it would be so immensely more fun! Ron & Kelly were the only ones who decided to do the columns, and they just cruised through it, but will it be enough for them to catch up? It would appear that it will come down to the roadblock.
AND Rob and Amber just now find out that the other 2 teams were there 2 hours before them!
Flight to Istanbul: $1000
Ferry ride to the lighthouse: $5
Realizing you're in 3rd place instead of 1st: Priceless
Suddenly Rob and Amber are moving really fast!
And the roadblock was to climb a lot... kinda strenuous, but yeah. Well, the pit stop is mere walking distance from the roadblock, but the old folks are going to have a serious disadvantage at this one. I hope they don't get eliminated based on a silly roadblock that they were at an obvious physical disadvantage from. That would border on unfair.
Uchenna and Joyce check in far ahead of everyone else. Gretchen and Meredith cruise through to the pitstop before the remaining 2 teams even make it to the roadblock. Gretchen is a superstar... way to be a trooper. Rob and Amber check in 3rd place... or as I prefer to call it... second to last. :)
Ron and Kelly are last... but it's a non-elimination leg! They will lose their stuff though.But they had the "super gnome" worth $20,000 to spend on travelocity AND instead of spending the night at the pit stop they get to go spend the night in a suite at the Four Seasons. Being in last place never felt so good.
For the record, I'm sure Phil will be staying at the Four Seasons as well... but he's probably used to that. :)
Until next week!
