Trotters leave at 7:12 am Travel to Rio De Jan Brazil K/J 7:15 am G/M 7:18 Z/J 7:31 am All teams make it on the same train Girls get off train and then start to run, Trotters say are we really going to do this. Other start to run Now all are making reservation to rio Gary/Mallory seem to be getting a later flight 5:30 pm but when they talk to trotters there body language gives away that there might be an earlier flight. All teams on same flight to Rio K/J take off again on the run out of airport. First to get cab, with Z/J second. Trotters are 3rd, G/M in the rear. G/M cab driver passes Trotters. K/J arrive at location, then Z/J and then G/M and are waiting on Trolly. Trotters are trying to get there but cab driver is slow, and tells them to be clam. But they miss the trolley. They are yelling at the trolley the other teams are telling the driver to go and not go back. Mallory yells no.... commerical

They all took the same flight to Rio. Had to get a cabe to a new place to hop a little train. Everyone made the train except the GT missed it by just seconds. Stop for commercial just as train conductor was considering stopping the train for the GT to run and catch. Other teams yelling to not stop for them.

trolley doesn't go back and trotters must wait 30 minutes for the next one. Other teams at clue location looking for clue. Z/J find clue then M/G, then L/J, then get cabs to next location Z RB Samba Must wear costumes and lead a parade doing the samba, if judge thinks they do it correctly they get there next clue. Zev says he has white boy dancing. But must do the RB to even them up Gary/Mallory get to RB and learning the dance. K/J are looking for location and think the cab took them to the wrong location. Its there past race all over. Trotters get at clue and now get a cab. Mallory picking up the dance quickly as she is a dancer. Zev not so lucky as he can't move as well Mallory does it and gets the clue first. Team must make way via taxi to copanbanna? to get next clue. Judge for Zev says no. L/J arrive at RB, Justin tells Zev he must loosen up. Little dance little shimmy At next clue all teams must endure a 15 minute body wax. Mallory says that it is an experience to get a body wax next to your dad. Back at dance, Justin is trying to get Zev in the grove, in the vib, treat it like a dance not a road block. L/J complete the RB, Justin doesn't know if he will be able to do it. Trotters catch up to the RB location

Judge rejects there first attempt. they aren't getting the drink right. L/J at the waxing station. One of the girls say that they never have had this part of there body wax. Trotters at the waxing station (not sure how they passed Z/J) Trotters are in pain. L/J leaving as Z/J arriving Trotters are done and leaving, Boys are in pain as there hair is waxed off them. K/J go to the bar, One of the girls say that they have bar tended before. L/J =1, G/M=17 L/J=5, G/M=36, Gary cuts his finger Z/J still in pain, saying they are going to punch them in the face. 15 minutes are up and they are done. Back at bar, the teams are progressing.

trotters hamming it up as they know they've got it in the bag. geez i detest them. the whole race i've been irritated but their comments and meanspirited behaviour has made it worse. so entitled. They expect to win, and frankly, i'm still hoping someone else will have a chance. but lets face it, in a footrace, the trotters long legs will beat ANYONE left....and they know it

I don't think the Trotters have been any more mean-spirited than the other teams. They've all had their share of being mean in one way or another.

Back at beach, still having trouble selling. G/M up to 94, Trotters at 50. Trotters says that they won't have trouble drinking them at the end, judge gives them thumbs up G/M finish the detour get next clue to pitstop. At beach, still no sell they decide to go to bar. G/M in cab and get to location, Gary and Mallory fight over which way, but in the end they are team number 1 and they are one of 3 teams in the finals, they win trip for 2 along the Med. If Gary wins he will be the oldest to win the amazing Race. J/Z arrive at bar as L/J are leaving. Trotters at 76. La/Jen are at the pitstop and they are team number 2 as Phil gives them a coconut drink. Trotters are whooping it up as Z/J are trying to catch up. Trotters complete the detour and head for the pit stop. Justin says that they don't want to give up. Complete task and read clue that says last team to arrive will be eliminated. Trotters get to the mat, and is the 3rd team. Justin says that he learn a lot about his buddy and won't trade it for any amount of money. Justin says that this is beautiful and it would romantic if we were a couple. Zev says that he was the race and I was the amazing. I think we made that combo pretty well, better than any other team. Justin seconds that. And in the end what is out in the world is greater than 1 million dollars

I guess I have to take back what I said about the Trotters. West Coast here.....did not realize they were goofing off knowing that Justin and Zev were way behind them. Now that's not nice. A little egg on my face here.

G/M leave at 8:54 am Fly to final in miami fl. 9:05 La/Jen raised by single mom. G/M at airport 9:29 Trotters leave. Like their chances to win. That is why they came back to win million G/M get tickets on earliest flight. So do other teams. Trotters check their bags at the airport, don't think that they will need them, so they will leave them at the airport. Now in Miami, they must go to rickenbacker marina for next clue. Trotters are first out then La/Jen and then G/M who have trouble getting cab. Trotters tell them that they are in a race for million dollars, G/M tell their driver that they need to go they are in a race. Sisters pass trotters. L/K get first with trotters on their heels RB boating is a way of life and taking care of them is big business. In dry dock they must move boat to another location using a forklift. Must now find boat. They are being helped by crew member. G/M cab driver seem to be lost. Girl gets boat first, the Herb. G/M still lost with cab driver trying to figure out where they need to go. Nate and Jen waiting giving each other so gref. Trotters complete task first, then La/Jen No sign of G/M. (I think they are out)

My take was that they knew they had complete the task and were having a good time with the judge and others in the area.

G/M want driver to pull over and asked for directions, another guy gives them directions they are 10 minutes out. Trotters says that they want to still have fun but need to step it up as they are in the 4th quarter. G/M are at RB and Gary is doing the task. Gary is moving along. Trotters tells cab driver that they are going to pay him and he will go get gas and come back. Another RB. Bob Dive, must dive among mermaids and look thru treasures chest to find clue. Jen talking about how she panic at the last race in water. She has taken lessons. G/M finish the first RB and get next clue and our off. Others are on little underwater scooters that move them to chest. Big Easy gets the clue and is going topside. Find mile marker 29 Jen gets clue. No cab for the trotters. Jen completes RB Trotters says no cab this is bad.

J/L say that they need to hurry as G/M are their. Wind is playing havoc with the teams L/J asked again lady says no. Miss Rose gives the clue to L/J Go to parking lot before seven-mile bridge. Trotters still don't have it, can't figure out why. Wind takes way the tarp for G/M Trotters get it right and get the next clue. There are bikes at the parking lot and it seem that they must ride across 7 mile bridge. Jen telling Kis to come on. Wind is making it hard. Trotters are catching up. G/M complete the task and get clue. Girls are now walking/running with bikes as wind is making it hard to ride. Girls still ahead. trotters are taking it all in. Now showing final pitstop as girls are running to mat. Phil now tell LaKisha & Jennifer that they have won the amazing race and for the second time an all female team has won. They never won a leg but one told the other that its the last one that is the most important. Will help out their mom with the winnings. Trotters arrive at the mat, and are the second team to arrive. Trotters said that the seven mile bridge is 7 miles and we could see them at the end and at the end of the second mile we knew it was over. G/M arrive at the matt and are the 3rd team. Mallory says Gary does her proud. and Gary says that for her wanting him to do it with her is an honor. Soundbits by teams

Excellent spoiling! Thanks so much. I'm happy with the winners. Herb/Nate have been getting on my nerves the past few weeks for acting like, well, the Globetrotters, so I'm happy they didn't pull it out. (I always felt sorry for the other team when I went to Globetrotters games as a kid.) I'm looking forward to the next season!

The last 3 teams got a second flight due to land 90 minutes behind the first, but the last of those teams has to perform an automatic U-Turn which will force them to perform both options of the first detour. Kris and Amanda were penalized thus in Leg 1. They completed both parts of the detour in Leg 2. While they actually left the detour ahead of others they ended up in last and were eliminated, blaming the u-turn. 2 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Gary and Mallory won the EP in Sydney at the TBC "end" of Leg 1. Gary and Mallory chose to use the Express Pass in Leg 5 which saved them from the dinosaur building task, where they had arrived last, and put them in second place behind Jet and Cord. 3 At time of TBC on first leg/show, Jet and Cord had not actually completed all tasks required to get to Phil and be declared 11th. They did complete and made the second flight, so benefitted from airport bunching. TBC To Be Continued. Leg 1 of this race ended with racers being given a clue and sent on, but first place team Gary and Mallory left with the coveted Express Pass and Kris and Amanda were still to perform their automatic U-Turn. Leg 4 of this race, at least on the fourth show, ended with racers being sent on with no actual pit stop, and with Zev/Justin still working on the Detour task and Kent/Vyxsin about to have to retrace to the gondola looking for their pack with money and passports, and not yet at the detour. ETA: Zev/Justin came in 8th and Kent/Vyxsin came in 9th (NEL) P- Leg 3. The Globetrotters arrived 3rd at the Pit Stop and Ron & Christina 4th, but Phil imposed a 30 min. penalty on the Trotters because they took R/C pack and left it in the changing area and didn't tell R/C who lost time looking for it. This moved R/C into 3rd and the Trotters into 4th, but Jen/Kisha arrived within the penalty time so they took 4th and the Trotters were 5th. Leg 4: Kent and Vyxsin didn't take the designated flight. At the TBC end of Leg 4 they were informed that they would receive a 30 minute penalty at the NEXT Pit Stop (presumably because 30 min at the point of the TBC would be meaningless if they all bunch to take the train back to Kunming.) At the Pit Stop for Leg 5, Kent and Vyxsin arrived fourth but waited out their 30 minute penalty, so Jen and Kisha moved into fourth, with Kent and Vyxsin taking fifth. Leg 10. Kent and Vyxsin took a taxi to the pit stop. The clue said "on foot". Thus they incurred a 30 min penalty and went from third to fifth and were eliminated from the race. P Leg 3 Mel and Mike didn't complete the detour due to extreme cold.. Mike called it off. And this meant they were last and eliminated. NEL Non Elimination Leg. Leg 4 was a non elimination leg. Leg 8 was a non elimination leg.

I think that all of the teams had to do some things that they normally would never think of doing in their real lives. But, when you are in a race for $1M, I would do anything with in reason to out run someone, out last, and cut some corners to come in first. I think it is wonderful how Justin raced with Zev, with his disabilities. I think he is admirable the way he has given Zev the opportunity of a life time and been such a good friend. Hats off to Justin. What a guy! Also want to thank Videomic....Great job. I am an east coaster and can appreciate what you do for the westers.
