Wow! I find Lawrence really obnoxious. I wonder if I would have put up with his comments like Sandy did without responding when they were making the toys. I kinda doubt it.

Marcus has 9 of the ten bails and then completes the task, the workers follow him and dance around him chatting and shouting, and he says it was great to have those guys supporting him. J/S at school begin task. He has a 6 year old son and the kids remind him of his son. B/C get at detour, they are doing sew,, she loves to sew. J/J arrive at school, he is surgeon and this should be no problem A/M decide to do sew, his mom and other family are sewers so this should be no problem L/Z pass A/T in cab but both get at school at same time. They asked Sandy about why she didn't do sew as she sews in the operating room,, she says it a different kind of sewing Bill/Cathi arrive at sew shop. she is starting to sew asked bill for help working machine Other teams are still constructing trucks B/C having machine problems. E/C talking about still having the express pass, still hoping to use it later on. A/M get to the sew shop J/S think they are one, kids try it ok get clue Find R-K furniture shop in the market where the people of Mawli proudly sell there hand crafted wooded furniture. J/J next to finish, followed by A/T, who play with kids are their way out. Back at the sew shop the other teams are working B/C still having machine problems E/C finishes sewing get next clue. J/J arrive first followed closely by J/S Take two beds to Phil at the next pit stop Kumbali village, where teams will find out they will need the beds for their overnight stay. The last team to arrive may be eliminated. Asked the shop owner to call a driver to help transport. A/T arrive next.

Marcus is getting upset that there cab broke down Justin, Jennifer is first to arrive, followed closely by Andy/Tommy, Phil tells J/J that they didn't pay their cab driver and must do so to check in, so A/T are first to arrive and win trip. They say that everyone is really nice around here. E/C arrive along with B/C. Ernie ask Cindy if they paid him she says yes, Bill asked Cahi she says only if he asked. B/C pass E/C, Cathi says they work on a farm they know manual labor. Cindy is having problems with carrying her bed. she falls over but laughs E/C ask J/J why they are going back. They tell them to pay the cab driver As J/S struggle B/C pass them. B/C arrive at mat, J/J get back just ahead of B/C , J/J are team number 2, J/S arrive Phil tells them to come up they are team number 3, Then tells B/C they need to pay driver. L/Zac are team number 4 E/C are Team number 5 B/C are team number 6. Amani/Marcus are the last team to arrive. Phil tells them that this is a non-elimation leg, they are still in race.

I agree about Lawrence being obnoxious. I'll be glad when he is gone, hopefully soon. But I will feel badly for his son. He seems like a nice kid. What was the comment to Sandy? I played it back several times and still couldn't understand it.

Vid Spoiling: "Ernie ask Cindy if they paid him she says yes, Bill asked Cahi she says only if he asked".... At the mat Phil: Then tells B/C they need to pay driver. " Excuse me!?! They're in a poor country, does Cathy think those truck drivers are carting around rich Americans as a charity gesture? Notice J/J driver charged them 7,000. Cathy/Bill's driver realized he was the last to get 'stiffed' & charged them 10,000. I know it's a race but haven't B/C ever watched before? How ungenerous! I'm just tickled that Amani/Marcus got saved by non-elimination. I want them to see more of Africa.

Whew!! I found myself so conflicted.. wanted Marcus and Amani to stay in but Bill and Cindi were pretty awesome hauling the beds and Bill with those heavy bales, but they didn't pay the driver so I was cheering M/A on. So I was quite happy when Phil said it was NEL. It was odd that M/A didn't ride in the truck with the beds, but took the cab, which then broke down. And Laurence and Zac, not reading the clue AGAIN, trying to balance those beds on the cab! And likeable as Andy and Tommy may be, it must be almost embarrassing how often they have been first and won a trip only because another team or teams screwed up. But a win is a win. Loving Malawi as a race stop. Oh yes, and I agree that Laurance was really being obnoxious, indeed. Maybe payback was that he was the only "wrong" team mate to do the roadblock since presumably Zac might have had an easier time with the bales.

To add to the excitement Kaylani drops her passport in a gas station near the starting point but it is gone when they go back. Luck of the showgirls.. someone who realized Amazing Race was going through tweeted someone and took the passport to LAX where they paged Kaylani, so the team made the second flight out. The Hazard task required them to go to a certain building and one of them (Kaylani) had to bungee jump in a mall. 2 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Ernie and Cindy won the EP in Taipei at the end of Leg 1. 3 Non Elimination Leg. Leg 1 was an NEL, thus saving Bill and Cathi, who came in last. Leg 4 was an NEL, thus saving Liz and Marie, who came in last. Leg 6 was an NEL, thus saving Marcus and Amani, who came in last. 4 SPEED BUMP - A task that must be performed only by the last place team on the next leg after they come in last during a NEL. Bill and Cindi were last in NEL in the first leg, so had to perform a Speed Bump in Leg 2. AND the next leg will be a double elimination leg.. so Bill and Cathi will have to be at least in 9th place next round to stay in the race. Liz and Marie were last to the pit stop in Leg 4 and thus had to complete a Speed Bump task in Leg 5. Their task was to clean up after and wash an elephant. Marcus and Amani were last to the pit stop in Leg 6 and will have to complete a Speed Bump task in Leg 7. 5 DOUBLE ELIMINATION ROUND. Two teams will be eliminated. Round 2. 6 Round two. At the end of the detour tasks, teams were told to take the money they earned and donate it at an orphanage, where they would get a token and proceed to the pit stop. However, there was a sign on the table telling them to ALSO donate ALL money they had. This sign was missed by most teams, who then had to go back on foot to the orphanage, donate and return to the pitstop.. and this changed the order and caused one team (Ethan and Jenna) down to last two, and thus eliminated. Kaylani and Lisa did notice the sign, so, while being one of the last two teams to the pitstop, they lived to run another leg. 7 Laurence and Zac were team # 1 but incurred a 15 minute penalty for using four buckets to draw water, instead of the two buckets specified in the clue. This dropped them to second place behind Andy and Tommy. 8 Justin and Jennifer were team #1,but forgot to pay their truck driver, so Andy and Tommy took over first place while they had to return to pay the driver. They just made it back to be team #2. Bill and Cindy also failed to pay their driver, so it seemed that they might have been ahead of the second arrival of Justin and Jennifer and the first arrival of Jeremy and Sandy. Thus Bill and Cindy dropped from third to sixth (just beating out Marcus and Amani) and Jeremy and Sandy went from fourth to third.

Granjan ~ What was the comment to Sandy? I played it back several times and still couldn't understand it. I don't think Lawrence was trying to be obnoxious, just making 'small talk' and showing his age. He was surprised that a woman couldn't sew. For MANY of us babyboomers, back in the days, our stay-at-home Mom's sewed our clothes (store bought was a MAJOR treat) - both boys clothes as well as girls clothes. Plus Home Ec was a required subject in many schools. ETA: Shop was reqd for boys.

Memory lane: I first learned to sew on one of those treadle sewing machines. Made my first dress when I was 8yrs old. No pattern, of course, just clip and fit.

I am an older baby boomer and had to take home ec. as a required subject. That was the last time I sewed anything except maybe some hems. To me, stitching people or animals is not the same thing as sewing. That is what Sandy was saying.

And I thought he was horribly condescending and sexist, and I usually don't trend that way. He's not a very likeable person, is he? I was yelling at Marcus and Armani after Bill and Cathi passed them at the last task to start running. I would have dragged those beds if I had to but the minute Bill and Cathi passed me going the wrong way (and didn't they know it was the pit stop so they knew that there must be a problem if people were going back?) I would have picked up those darned beds and starting moving as fast as I could...they had no way of knowing how far away...Phil could have been right over the next hill! Glad they weren't eliminated but that really annoyed me...my daughter said it was like they had already given up.

Roxip, I also thought Laurence was condescending and sexist (and I don't trend that way either). But as I've said before, I already had a tainted view of him because he let his teenage daughter sail around the world by herself.
