Hmmm, I had wondered if they would offer a re-cap show since it's time for all the holiday travelers to go home in time for work. I wonder if this means they're heading to China, or going to eat some wiggy stuff. Believe me, the Chinese have got some delicacies that would curl your toes!

I'll never forget when they were in China before and had to eat those deep-fried starfish. Ack! Seems like it would be like trying to chew a rock. They don't waste anything in China. Everything is considered food.

8:25 AM: Jill/Thomas departing. Fly to Hong Kong. Make way, by bus and ferry, to Cheung Po Island.

Jill/Thomas headed to travel agency. They talk about U-Turning Brook/Claire. They say they have not seen anyone since last night and how strange it is to not know where anyone else is.

They find out everyone will beo n the same flight and realize they have a LOT of time to kill so they head back to hotel.

1:59 PM: Nick/Vicki leaving. Vicki talks about thinking Nick has been getting better.

4:05 PM: Nat/Kat leaving. Excited about going to Hong Kong.

5:15 PM: Brook/Claire leaving. They can't wait to make Thomas feel uncomfortable.

Jill/Thomas finally back on the way to the airport and hoping they don't see Brook/Claire but that's who they see first when they get to the airport.

Brook/Claire want to know the logic behind Jill/Thomas' choice to u-turn them. Thomas says it's because they are a strong team and Brook/Claire point out that Nat/Kat have come in first way more than they have... Jill says she feels very bad about that encounter but Thomas says, "I don't."

All teams traveling to Hong Kong. Arriving now.

Jill/Thomas on the bus and on the way. The others looking. Nat/Kat and Nick/Vicki waiting for a bus, not sure who made it on the other one. Brook/Claire also with them. The second bus finally arrives.

Jill/Thomas getting their ferry tickets now.

The other teams arrive and racing for the water. Vicki says she's having trouble with her asthma but Nick says, "Oh, come on."

Thomas has a feeling people will be racing on right before the doors close. Vicki having trouble as we see the other two teams getting tickets. Nat/Kat and Brook/Claire end up on the same ferry as Jill/Thomas. Nick yelling at Vicki to hurry up. They don't make it on the ferry.

Nick/Vicki have to wait for the next ferry. Vicki says, "I'm sorry, it's my fault." Nick, "I'm sick of you being sorry."

Back with Nick/Vicki at the ferry and Nick tells Vicki she better hope she can keep up later because he's not waiting for her again. He tells her to suck it up. She's crying and he wants to know why. She says she's not doing these things on purpose and he just keeps yelling at her. Nick tells her to quit crying.

First ferry arrives and all three teams racing for the clue box. Brook/Claire lagging behind when Claire can't keep up.

Nat/Kat & Jill/Thomas get clue. Travel by ferry to next location where they must go to a specific restaurant where they will get next clue.

Brook/Claire also get clue and heading back to the ferry. Brook/Claire behind the others and they have to yell at the guy to hold the ferry for them. Brook says, "Let's hug it out." Claire says, "We did suck it out." Brook repeats herself and Claire laughs as they hug.

Back on Nick/Vicki's ferry, Nick says this sucks and he wishes they had never come on the race.

Nat/Kat marveling over all the sights. Loving this leg of the race.

First ferry is back and all three teams jump in cabs. Majesty Chinese Restaurant. Nat/Kat arriving now. There's karaoke inside.

ROADBLOCK: Who's feeling peckish? Peck way through vast buffet of food searching for fake food. Any real food they pick up, they have to eat. Nat is doing it for them.

Nat has to eat the first item she picks up.

Jill/Thomas arrive and Thomas is going to do it.

Brook/Claire also arrive and Claire is going to do the task (but she thinks maybe it's karaoke).

Thomas picks up something and has to eat it. Claire looking now and tells us how all the roadblocks she decides to do it's because she assumes it is one thing and it turns out to be something else, really horrible. She then tells us she hasn't done any of the food tasks because she is really picky.

Brook getting the crowd to cheer for Claire. Meanwhile Nat figures it out and gets the next clue. Have to search for statue of Bruce Lee where they will get next clue. They have to go to Avenue of Stars.

Back with Nick/Vicki on the ferry waiting to arrive again.

Thomas is eating more food as Claire looks at food.

Nat/Kat arrive and find Bruce Lee. DETOUR: Ding-Ding - Board 100 year old tram system, right particular portion of the route, searching for three signs on the route that put together will reveal pit stop.

Sampan: Pick up wooden cage with two parakeets and board sampan. Search among boats for one that matches the number on their cage. Once delivered correctly they'll get next clue. Nat/Kat pick SAMPAN.

Thomas finds a fake and Jill/Thomas head out.

Nat/Kat at the dock now and they pick a cage, now they pick the sampan with a lady driver. Now out and searching boats for matching registration number. Kat talks about how the numbers were in different spots on every boat.

Jill/Thomas arrive and pick DING DING.

Nick/Vicki at the restaurant now. Vicki is going to do the task. Claire says she doesn't know how much she has eaten at this point, Brook tells us Claire is supposed to be on a diet for her wedding but that she's eaten two or three plates of food so far.

Jill/Thomas looking for signs now and miss one that says PIT STOP and STATUE and SQUARE. Meanwhile Thomas is telling Jill just to keep her eyes open and she says she is...

Back with Claire worried she's going to throw up. Claire runs off to the bathroom to throw up and Nick is loving it.

Can someone please shut Vic up? Put a gag on him and then stand on his chest so he can feel what it's like to have asthma? I could do without hearing Brooke's voice, too. Can you imagine the two of THEM together? ACCK! I hate when one partner is so nasty to the other.

Back with Claire throwing up. Brook comes in to check on her and she says she's ok. She tells the camera she's never puked so much in her life. Brook tells her to just keep puking if she needs to (referring to going back out to eat more).

Nick still laughing about it and telling Vicki to keep going and not worry about Claire. Claire finally finds a fake food item and both girls scream and cheer and a bunch of people give them hugs as well as they race out.

Brook/Claire in taxi and off. Claire says she has barf breath.

Nat/Kat still searching for their boat. They say it feels like they've been there for a long, long time.

Back with Jill/Thomas still searching the signs. Thomas says he was REALLY REALLY focusing but he still sees nothing. They decide they are going to get off and go do the SAMPON task instead.

Vicki picking through all the food. She puts something in her mouth and she doesn't like it. She says her stomach can't take all this food. Nick telling her not to grab at the first thing she sees.

Jill/Thomas arrive and get their cage and pick out their sampon. They head out to look for their boat. Nat/Kat see Jill/Thomas and they both tell each other their tasks are terrible.

Brook/Claire arrive and pick SAMPON.

Jill/Thomas want to be very thorough and they find their boat quickly. They deliver their birds and get their clue. PIT STOP STATUE SQUARE.

Jill/Thomas heading back to the harbor now.

Nat/Kat finally find their boat and get their clue. They head back to the harbor too.

Jill/Thomas searching for a taxi but can't seem to get one to stop.

Nat/Kat back and looking for a taxi. Nat/Kat get one right away as Jill/Thomas are still standing there asking for directions from a taxi. Nat/Kat's taxi almost stops but they tell their driver to keep going. Jill now telling Thomas to get in the car because she saw Nat/Kat pass them.

Brook/Claire get their cage and their boat. They are searching for their boat now.

Back at the restaurant, people keep leaving but Vicki is still searching.

Nat/Kat are Team #1. They have won a trip for 2 to Brazil. They say, "That's perfect." They say they are very proud of today.

Jill/Thomas are Team #2 and they say they are very happy.

Brook/Claire searching for their boat and Vicki brings a food item to the guy and it's real not fake. Nick giving her instructions on how to eat the food to make it easier. Vicki heads to the bathroom to throw up. Nick tells her they can take a penalty and just leave. He says this is stupid.

I really like Vicki, but I hate Nick's attitude and I hope they are eliminated this leg. I can't believe he's as rude as he is to her, on national TV. Did he forget the cams are in his face?

Yeah, that would be great. Actually, I don't mind Thomas & Jill either. I also couldn't complain if Brooke & Claire won since they've done well and at least Brooke apologizes after. Seems Claire knew what she was getting into w/her as a partner. As long as Nick and Vic are gone.

Oh Scuba, Phil didn't say if they got any money.

Back with Vicki and she doesn't want to quit. She goes back to the table and manages to find the fake food finally.

Brook/Claire still searching and can't find their boat.

Nick/Vicki doing SAMPON. They get their birds and head out. Brook/Claire find their boat finally and get their clue. They head back to the harbor.

Nick/Vicki searching but Nick isn't even really looking. He makes a comment about throwing the birds overboard. Vicki isn't sure what they are searching for and he says he doesn't know either. All he knows is that he's ready to be done. Both of them say they are exhausted but Vicki doesn't want to give up.

Brook/Claire in a taxi and on their way to the pit stop.

Nick says he is just tired. He doesn't care if she doesn't want to quit, he just wants to be done. He lays down on the boat and has given up looking. Vicki says Nick's sleeping makes her mad. She says this is the worst day ever.

Brook/Claire arrive and they are Team #3. They hug and are so happy.

Back with Vicki saying this is going to be hard to do by herself. She says she doesn't want to give up but she needs help from him. Nick finally gets up but he's not helping her. Vicki says it's been a long day and if he's not going to help, she can't do it by herself. They head back to the dock. They get the clue and head out. Vicki says it was the worst feeling to walk away from the DETOUR and take a six hour penalty.

They are the last team to arrive and he says, "I'm sorry to tell you that this is a non-elimination leg and you are still in the race." He explains the next leg will be very difficult since they have a six hour penalty and they will have to do an extra task as well. Vicki says they are going to do whatever they need to do, they don't want to quit the race. She says it's hard because Nick has a temper and that gets in the way. Vicki says she's definitely not ready to leave.

After tonight, it would be just so wrong if Nick and Vicki win this race.

I like Vicki too. Too bad she's with him. And...too bad for us that it' s a NON-ELIMINATION ROUND! GAH!!! They have a 6hr penalty for not doing last task, they are very far behind the others AND they have a speed bump. Next time, please?!! Make him go away!

Yikes! I'd guess that there's not a chance V/N will be in the finals. Six hours PLUS an additional task (even if those tasks have been super lame this season) is a huge handicap.

BTW, meant to say I was impressed with Brooke/Claire completing the second detour after they got U-turned last week. They did it in record time and didn't come in too much behind the 3rd place team.

And finally, Raen! Hugs! You're the best!

Next Week: As teams head to the North Korean border, the race kicks into high gear. Who will stay afloat, who will fall down, and who will earn a spot in the final three?
