A Trip To India
The Realty TV Show, the Amazing Race 14, started this week from the 5th Pit Stop, Margie & Luke were the first team to arrive, so they were the first team to depart at 12:18AM. Teams now must fly nearly 2,000 miles to Jaipur, India. They then must ravel by taxi to find the Sacred Tree for their next clue.
The flight path was to Moscow first, then to New Delhi, and finally all teams met up for the last flight leg which left at 5:40AM to Jaipur, India. We find the blondes, Christie & Jodi, were still in last place because their taxi had to stop along the way to fill-up on gas. They were optimistic that they could catch up on any physical task. Tammy & Victor were the first team to race to the first clue, which was to travel to Amber Park for their next clue.
Teams then found a Road Block. One person must work by taking care of a group of camels. The team member is put in charge of a group of camels, and must bring to them food and water to satisfy them. Once they have the right amount, the camel master hands them their next clue.
Tammy & Victor finished this Road Block first, and the next clue had teams racing to the Puppet Store where they would find their next clue to follow.
The Mel & Mike team had Mel, the 68 year old father, doing this physical task which he really suffered through all of the physical labor. But, no heart attack, and he finished the task in second place.
Then next clue was a Detour: Teams have to choose between two tasks: Movers or Shakers. In movers, teams choose a cart loaded high in barrels, then transport them by pedaling 1 ½ miles through heavy traffic, and at their destination they search through their containers for a small metal elephant which they exchange for their next clue.
In shakers, teams travel to a busy intersection, put on traditional costumes & make-up, and join a dance group. Then they go around in the streets and shake their hips for tips. Once they have earned enough money, they exchange it with the band leader for their next clue.
The blondes, Christie & Jodi, now have to perform a Speed Bump for finishing last place on the last leg. There task is to decorate an elephant with paint, before joining the others on the Detour task.
The teams must now race by taxi to Jaigarh Fort, a 15th century fortress, which the pit stop for this leg of the race. The last team to arrive will be eliminated. So Tammy & Victor end up as team number one, and winners of this week’s race. Mel & Mike 2nd place, Kisha & Jen 3rd place, Margie & Luke 4th place, Jaime & Cara 5th place, Mark & Michael 6th place, and last place was Christie & Jodi who were then eliminated from the race. This was not surprising, as they had to perform the Speed Bump. Also, out of 14 of these Realty TV shows of the Amazing Race, no girl, blonde team has ever won!
