Mirna always doing her fake accents whenver she speaks to anyone--it makes me cringe!

On the bright side, Ian is not making me cringe the way he did in his first season.

Why do Charla and Mirna affect foreign accents when they talk to people in other countries? That drives me nuts.

5th pit stop.

9:07 PM: Charla/Mirna leaving. Fly to Tanzania, 1400 miles. Dar es Salaaam. Have to go to ferry terminal and pull number. They have to sail to island to get next number. Mirna says it's kind of nerve-wracking to leave in first place because they've never done it before. They say they want to prove it wasn't just a quirk.

9:47PM: Dustin/Kandice leaving. They are hoping this will be the leg that they'll be first. They talk about competing with "Too tough to handle" (quote on Mirna's shirt).

<ed. Too HOT to handle>

10:13PM: Teri/Ian leaving.

10:18PM: Danny/Oswald leaving. They say the stress of the race is getting to people. They talk about it being important to go back to what keeps you grounded.

10:32PM: Joe/Bill leaving now.

10:33PM: Eric/Danielle leaving now.

[Sorry, I missed the two convos here.]

10:36PM: Uchenna/Joyce leaving. Joyce takes about being last and what that means for them. Uchenna says no one will lose any sleep if they are gone so they know they have to depend on themselves.

Charla/Mirna arriving at airport and ask their driver to wait for them. They find out there are air planes tomorrow. They find out they have to wait until the morning to get tickets.

Charla/Mirna decide to go back to the hotel. Dustin/Kandice arrive and find out the same thing. They decide to go back as well. Teri/Ian talking and Ian thinks they should stay there for the night. Joe/Bill arrive and they say the same thing. Teri says it's only 11 o'clock. Ian says he wants to be in line when she suggests staying in the car instead.

Teri/Ian bickering about this a bit but she gives in and they get in line.

Morning, everyone is in line. Charla says that every time she sees Teri, she's saying she wants to go to Miami and Charla says maybe she should just go back.

Everyone is getting on standby at this point. Charla/Mirna ask for what else they have and there is a flight going to Johannesburg but they'll have to be on standby there for the connecting flight. They decide to do it and run to get on the flight to Johannesburg.

The others are all finding out that they won't get on the 8:30 flight. Now they all have to try going to Johannesburg whether they like it or not. The others say that now Charla/Mirna look like geniuses.

Charla/Mirna arrive in Johannesburg. Mirna says she found a friend in Johannesburg. Charla/Mirna are on standby and praying that they'll get on the flight. Charla says that scene was a little awkward, holding hands, etc.

Charla/Mirna manage to get on the flight. They hug the airport people and take off.

Back in Mozambique the others are waiting for the South Africa airlines to open at 9:45. For some rason, a few of them go upstairs where the door is open. The guy upstairs is going to try to do their booking even though the booking office isn't open. They are getting tickets now. Looks like only Eric/Danielle get on it but the rest are on a standby list.

Johannesburg, Charla/Mirna boarding their flight now.

Ticket counter opening and the others getting on the first flight and getting on standby on the next flight. Off they go.

They now arrive in Johannesburg and running to tr y and get information on the standby flight.

Oswald/Danny have tickets. Uchenna/Joyce have tickets. Dustin/Kandice have tickets. Eric/Danielle have tickets. Joe/Bill and Teri/Ian don't make it on the plane.

Eric/Danielle saying they can't believe it actually happened. Then they are asked to leave the plane because they were given someone else's tickets. They leave the plane. Danielle is crying now, saying that they were sitting on the plane already and this is ridiculous.

Johannesburg Airport. Eric/Danielle asking what they can do now. Danielle is mad and says that she doesn't want to do this anymore. Eric tells her to calm down and wait to see what they can do for them. They'll be on standby for a flight tomorrow morning. They will be priority standby for it. Teri/Ian and Joe/Bill asking for help as well. They are put on the same standby flight. Teri is annoyed at spending another night at an airport.

Charla/Mirna finally arrive. They head off.

Back in Johannesburg, Eric wants to find the others and Danielle doesn't. Joe/Bill see them and are happy about it. They see Teri/Ian now and Ian is shocked.

Charla/Mirna arrive and grab #1 ferry. The first ferry won't leave until tomorrow at 5:30 because of the storms, etc. They wonder where everyone else is...

Dustin/Kandice, Danny/Oswald, and Uchenna/Joyce arrive and off to the ferry area. All are running to get a number. Danny/Oswald get on #1. Dustin/Kandice get on #2. #2 will leave at 8:30. Uchenna/Joyce get on the 8:30 ferry. Uchenna says that it's a little frustrating to stop because they are ready to race.

Danny/Oswald on the dock at 4:30. They are jokingly flirting with each other. Charla/Mirna arrive and Danny/Oswald jokingly say that this is their corner, "They work this bench."

Danny/Oswald and Charla/Mirna on the first ferry together.

Back in Johannesburg, Eric is trying to reinfoce a line at the ticket counter. Ian says let's not fight over standby.

Uchenna/Joyce and Dustin/Kandice on their ferry now.

Danielle is not being optimistic about getting on the flight but there is room for only two and they get on the flight. Teri says she can't believe this is happening again. Teri/Ian are frustrated. Joe/Bill says they are going to be stuck there for God knows how long.

Johannesburg again, Ian asking if there is any other airline that flies to Tanzania today. They find another airline and go off to see if they can get on a flight there.

Back on the ferry, Charla is seasick. Danny/Oswald helping her by putting a cool/wet cloth on her neck to help cool her down.

Teri/Ian and Joe/Bill finally on a flight and off.

Ferry #1 arrives and they all get their clue. DETOUR. Solve it or Schlep it.

SOLVE IT: 1/3 of mile to hotel. Must put together 62 - piece puzzle that recreates image of local artwork.

SCHLEP IT: Go to lumber yard. Load logs into cart and take it more than a mile to a shipyard to get clue.

Both Danny/Oswald and Charla/Mirna are going to do the puzzle. They arrive and are looking at the puzzle. They say it is going to be tough. Danny/Oswald seem to be making some good progress.

Uchenna/Joyce and Dustin/Kandice on their ferry and getting close.

Danny/Oswald say they are halfway done with their puzzle. Charla/Mirna say they are very competitive people. Danny/Oswald are done and they get their clue.

Make way to Kikungwi, more than 15 miles. They'll find their next clue there.

Danny/Oswald asking for directions and off they go.

Charla/Mirna finally finish and get clue. Danny/Oswald decide to stop for some fruit because they were exhausted and dehydrated.

Charla/Mirna asking their driver to go fast. Danny/Oswald eat and say it's way better than getting potato chips.

Charla/Mirna arrive and get clue for ROADBLOCK. "Who is on target?" Must throw the rungu and hit a target? (Sorry, I missed a little bit of Phil's explanation.) Mirna is doing it. They wonder where Danny/Oswald are, that they should have been here already. Mirna says it is much harder than it looks.

Danny/Oswald get there. They are working on it too. Danny doing the task.

Mirna hits the target. They get clue. Make way to next pit stop... Old Fort. They go back to their taxi and head off. They say not to count their chickens before they hatch.

Danny throws and gets his target. They head off. Not sure how close they are to Charla/Mirna. Danny/Oswald say they won't stop for fruit again.

Charla/Mirna arrive and have to go to the next building. They are still looking for the entrance to the Old Fort. They are still looking around.

Danny/Oswald there now too and looking for entrance.

Charla/Mirna are team #1. They cheer and hug. Phil says, "Two ones in a row. You are too hot to handle." They have each won sailing boat.

Danny/Oswald are team #2. They cheer and hug.

Dustin/Kandice and Uchenna/Joyce finally arrive and get clues. Dustin/Kandice going to do SCHLEP IT. Uchenna/Joyce doing SOLVE IT.

Eric/Danielle arriving finally and off to ferry.

Uchenna/Joyce working on the puzzle. They say it's going to be easy and glad they aren't doing more physical stuff.

Dustin/Kandice get their logs and are off to the shipyard.

Eric/Danielle arrive and get on ferry #3. They are told it's leaving soon. Eric/Danielle's ferry leaves.

Joe/Bill and Teri/Ian still on their plane. Talking about having to run their own race.

Uchenna/Joyce finish their puzzle and are off. Dustin/Kandice drop their logs so they have to get them back on and now arriving at the shipyard and dropping off their logs. They get the clue and are off again.

Eric/Danielle on their ferry, enjoying the ride.

Teri/Ian and Joe/Bill finally arrive and are off to ferry terminal. It's a race between these two teams to the terminal. Ian says this is the end for one of them.

Needmylifeback: Yeah, I'd say so. Given the difference in the ferry times and how long it seems to take for the ferry to get there, it seems as though Uchenna/Joyce should be fine. Eric/Danielle might get there within the 30 minutes because it's hard to tell how far behind they are but I think Joe/Bill and Teri/Ian are way more than 30 minutes behind Uchenna/Joyce.

If there is more than a 12 hour gap between the first place and next to last place teams .. do they still have to wait 12 hours at the rest stop? .. For Teri/Ian or Joe/Bill that could spell trouble!

Joe/Bill and Teri/Ian arriving at the ferry terminal. They are told their ferry won't leave until 8PM.

Uchenna is doing the DETOUR task. Dustin/Kandice on their way as Uchenna keeps trying. He gets the target and they are off to the next pit stop.

Dustin/Kandice at the DETOUR and doing the task now. I'm not sure which one is doing it.

Uchenna/Joyce are third team to arrive. They have to wait 30 minutes before Phil can check them in.

Dustin/Kandice finish their task and get the clue.

Eric/Danielle doing SOLVE IT and they finish. Now they are off.

Uchenna/Joyce get called to the mat by Phil. They are team #3. They hug and kiss.

Eric/Danielle are team #5.

Joe/Bill and Teri/Ian getting the clue now. Teri/Ian decide to do SOLVE IT. Joe/Bill decide to do it too so that they can stay close with them.

Both teams working now. Joe/Bill realize you can flip it as Teri/Ian keep trying. Teri/Ian finally figure it out but Joe/Bill are done. They get the next clue and are off.

Teri/Ian say they are in trouble. Joe/Bill say it's all relative until they know what's next.

Teri/Ian finally finish and get their next clue. Off they go.

Joe/Bill arrive (it's the next morning now). They are working on the DETOUR now.

Teri/Ian on their way. Teri saying maybe someone will get stuck at the roadblock. Ian says the somebody would be Joe/Bill.

Joe/Bill worried about Teri/Ian catching up but they finally get it. They get clue and are off before Teri/Ian arrive.

Teri/Ian arrive and Ian is going to do the task.

Joe/Bill are stuck in traffic. Ian gets the clue and off they go. Teri/Ian say they aren't throwing in the towel until Phil says they are eliminated. Joe/Bill worried that their driver doesn't know where he's going.

Joe/Bill at the Old Fort. Teri/Ian there too but it's hard to tell who is actually there first with the editing.

Joe/Bill are team #6. They hug.

Teri/Ian are team #7 and the last team to arrive. They have been eliminated. They say they figured as much. Teri says they had fun and are sorry to be eliminated. They talk about loving each other. Ian says, "I wouldn't want to be in life without her."

I wish I knew the actual time difference between those two last teams. The editors tried to make it look like a race but, based on how they tried to make it look like Dustin/Kandice were close to Uchenna/Joyce and they obviously weren't, I'm guessing they were a good bit behind Joe/Bill.

They'll probably have a bunching place after the pit stop. They'll leave 12 hours later and everyone will have to wait 18 hours for the next place to open, or one plane a day and it just left.

On the next special two-hour race, Danielle loses patience with Eric. Charla suits up to take on a formidable foe.
