All teams on final train. Ernie & Cindy are hoping they do not check for tickets. Conductor never asked for tickets so no problem. In line for taxis and they have to go to European parlement buildings. Bill & Cathi jump the line and leave first. Teams must learn a body building routine from a pro bodybuilder and preform in front of judges. Need a score of 4 or higher to get clue. Have to wear bikinis and speedos and do spray tans. Really funny.

Ernie & Cindy go first and get too low. They have to learn it again. Andy & Tommy Also have to learn routine again. Amani & Marcus get 4s and get to leave. Gazebo at park Elizabeth is the pitstop. Andy & Tommy have to do bodybuilding again. Ernie & Cindy finish bodybuilding and get clue.

Yay! I love Marcus and Amani, so glad they came in first. I do wish they had had more time to enjoy their win, though.

So, no elimination? This is an uber-leg? Who checked in last so far? Interesting they gave a prize for the first team, if its an uber-leg. Theoretically, if the leg isn't over (and no loser), then should there be a winner? But I am glad for Marcus and Amani for getting a prize, so I guess it doesn't matter. LOL.

Only the first two teams were shown checking in, so we won't know if it's non-elimination for sure until next week. DH and I are thinking it must be non-elim. if they keep racing, but we've been wrong before. VERY happy for Marcus and Armani - he was definitely the best looking in the posing!

It was the end of one leg, and the beginning of another. A prize is justified, IMO. The next leg just started immediatley. It could be an elimination leg or not, we'll have to wait until next week to see it. I am so rooting for Amani and Marcus at this point. I just love those two. I don't dislike anyone else left in the race, though.

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 had to complete a Speed Bump task in Leg 7. This task consisted of solving a slide puzzle to create a picture of the new flag of Malawi. 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. Legs 7 and 8 included the opportunity for two teams to U-Turn another team. In Leg 7, Laurance and Zac chose to U-Turn Marcus and Amani, but Marcus and Amani were ahead of them, so there was no effect on them. In Leg 8, Ernie and Cindy U-Turned Bill and Cathi, which meant Bill and Cathi had to complete both options of the Roadblock. Bill and Cathi chose to U-Turn Laurance and Zac. 9 To Be Continued. At the Pit Stop for Leg 9, Marcus and Amani arrived first, were awarded a trip to Panama and then told by Phil to take this clue and continue on. So at the end of the program, Marcus and Amani were definitely in first place. Ernie and Cindy had seemed to arrive at the park. Jeremy and Sandy had completed the body builder task. Andy and Tommy had failed the task with scores of 4 and 5 (they need 12) Bill and Cathi had failed the task with a score of 3. See you next Sunday

The bodybuilding scores: Ernie/Cindy get 9 Andy/Tommy get 4 Amani/Marcus get lots of applause and get 12 Not sure of exact order but Ernie and Cindy get 12 on their second try. Bill and Cathi get 3 Jeremy and Sandy get 13 Andy and Tommy got 5 on their second try. And at the end of the show Bill and Cathi and Andy and Tommy hadn't tried again.

TNT, Jeremy and Sandy and Bill and Cathi have never won a leg. Bill and Cathi have come in second twice and Jeremy and Sandy have been second one time.

Next week it sounds like Marcus and Andy/Tommy trash talking while building a pontoon boat in water (it didn't sound too serious) then they show someone racing on a track (in a car) We see Marcus, Andy/Tommy, Jeremy and I think Ernie in car scenes. We don't see Bill and Cathi but of course they usually misdirect in their previews.

Did anyone notice the huge bruises on Cindy's legs? I have been trying to figure out how she got those...

Yes, we noticed the huge bruises. Seemed like the camera angles were trying to hide them a bit. They really caught a break on the lost tickets tonight.

Sean.. seems like Ernie and Cindy did pay for tickets and since no one was collecting, no harm, no foul.. However, there certainly could be a penalty and we have to wait a whole week to find out. I also had to watch Phil posing a couple of times, just for the sheer joy of it all.
