Amazing Race 14, Episode 9

Episode 9 of Amazing Race 14

The Realty TV Show Amazing Race started out this week from the 8th Pit Stop, Margie & Luke were the first team to depart at 9:36AM.  Teams must now fly over 1,000 miles to Guilin, China.  When they land, teams are to travel by taxi to the street called Qing Xiu Lu and find a hair salon where they will find their next clue.

Mark & Michael were the last team to depart at 4:08 PM.  They will also have to perform a Speed Bump task for finishing in last place of this Pit Stop.  No other team will be performing this task.  They are about 4 hours behind everybody else.  They believe they just need to make some right decisions in order to stay in the game.

Jaime & Cara were the first team to arrive at the hair salon and receive their first clue.  Teams must now travel to the #24 bridge where they will find their next clue.

Road Block:  One team member has to take part in a fishing task.  Teams take a raft out to the middle of the river and have trained birds retrieve fish.  Once they catch 10 fish, the trainer will hand them their next clue.

In the Speed Bump, Mark & Michael must work as stylist at the salon, washing and drying the hair of two waiting women.  Whey they finish, they can continue on the race and hope to make up valuable lost time.

Kisha & Jen took over first place.  Teams must now race to a one thousand year old structure called Ancient South Gate.  There they will find their next clue.

Detour:  Choose between two tasks of Choreography or Calligraphy.  In Choreography, teams must participate in dancing.  They are to join a local group and learn their dance.  Then perform the dance together in front of a pair of judges, and upon perfectly performing the steps with the correct moves, will receive from the judge their next clue.

In Calligraphy, teams are to copy a series of Chinese characters which form the name of the part of their next station.  Whey they reach their fourth and final station, the artist will hand them their next clue.

Tammy & Victor, who are Chinese, were the first team to finish.  The clue was to travel to the next Pit Stop.  Teams must make their way to Banyan Lake and find the view that is depicted in the picture of their clue.  The lakeside spot is the pit stop of this leg of the race.

Kisha & Jen were Team number one, Tammy & Victor Team number two, and Margie & Luke Team number three.  All three of these Teams finished within seconds of each other.

Jaime & Cara performed the dancing task while the first 3 teams who finished did the Calligraphy task.  The dancing put them behind.  The judges kept saying no, but could not speak English and explain to them what was wrong.  They kept dancing, and eventually were given their next clue.  They were therefore the fourth team to check-in to the Pit Stop.

Mark & Michael also chose the dancing task.  But, they were in last place and finished last at the Pit Stop.  Phil then checked them in and informed the brothers that they have been eliminated from the race.  They were still both grateful to have been part of this race.  For this realty TV show of Amazing Race 14, will are therefore down to only four teams where the competition can get fierce.
