Amazing Race 14, Episode 7

7th Episode of the Amazing Race 14

The Realty TV Show Amazing Race find Tammy & Victor leaving the 6th Pit Stop of the race in first place, departing at 10:21AM with the first clue.

Amazing RaceTeams must now fly nearly 2,000 miles to Pucket, Thailand, and using only a picture, must find a gorilla statue.  It is located at a zoo, unknown to the teams, where they will find their next clue.

All the teams were on the same flights, which took 14 hours.  Upon landing, it was a mad race for the teams to find a taxi cab.  Mel & Mike believe from asking their taxi cab driver, that the statue is at the beach.  But the other teams stopped and asked and were on course by having the taxi take them to the nearest zoo, where they found the statue with the clue in it’s mouth.

Teams must now get ready to take a walk on the wild side.  Teams will have their pictures taken with a tame tiger.  Then they take part in a typical performance in which they must lay down on the ground while an elephant walks and squats over them.  After successfully completing this task, they will be given their next clue.

Mark & Michael were the first team to finish this task.  Mel & Mike eventually made it to the zoo, and were the last team to finish this task.

Teams must now make their way to the oldest herb shop in Nguan Choon Tong.  Teams must search 99 herb drawers in search of their next clue.  They must keep guessing, while taking turns with other team members, until they find the right drawer.  Mark & Michael finish this task first again.

Detour:  Two forms of physical labor, a hundred barrels or 2 miles.  In 100 barrels, teams make their way to a harbor and work to prepare a fishing ship for 10 days at sea.  They have to fill 47 barrels with enough drinking water to last the trip, and move 53 empty fish barrels from the bottom deck to the roof, and arrange them properly for the journey.

In 2 miles, teams choose a ricksaw, with one team member sitting in the back, and the other one will pull the ricksaw and make their way 2 miles through the streets to a park where they will find their next clue.  Mark & Michael choose this task, and after using one of the laid out tire pumps on their ricksaw, decide to pack up all of the pumps inside of a box where it is not really visible any more to arriving team members.  They then instruct their taxi cab to lead the way to the park, while they take turns pulling each other by jogging the full distance in the heat.

The last clue directs them to the Pit Stop.  Teams must make their way through town to Wat Thep Nimit Temple.  Mark  & Michael finished first, but were given two 30 minute penalties for messing with the pumps, and for hiring the taxi cab to guide them through the streets (other teams simply used their maps to navigate their way to the park.).

Tammy & Victor arrived at the Pit Stop next, and were awarded first place.  Next came Jaime & Cara, making 2nd place.  Then Mark & Michael were checked in as 3rd place.  Margie & Luke 4th, but Margie fainted right after being checked in due to heat exhaustion, but Phil caught her from falling.  Kisha & Jen made it to 5th place.  Mel & Mike finished in last place, and were eliminated from the race.  This ended this week’s realty TV show of the Amazing Race.
