Note: We didn't really see TK/Rachel's plane. It was just close enough behind Nathan/Jennifer's that when they stopped to exchange money it slowed them down. The immigration/customs line is really what gave them the chance to catch up.

Llk..., I didn't catch how TK & R caught up w/ them in Osaka either. I remember making a mental note that I'll pay extra attention re-watching since Rae mentioned how there did not seem to have a time stamp??

Didn't they have Japanese clues in the taxi-driver leg last week? I thought they had to go get someone to translate for them..

They will also have to write well-wishing msg on Lantern in Chinese?? I hope not! That's really un-fair to the rest of them!

Another LOL! Jen kept telling everyone to be nice to her or do what she wants since it's her B-Day!

Everyone speaks English in Taipei. Not the other cities, but Eng. speaking persons is a dime a doz. in Taipei. :-)

Something sad to share with you. CKS palace is no longer. They changed the name. The non-KMD deemed Chiang as not "nice" to the "real" Taiwanese.

Back with TK/Rachel arriving at station. They go to the machine to get tickets and they are getting tickets. TK/Rachel on the same train. Jennifer pissed off that TK/Rachel are there. She says, "I can't handle this anymore."

Ron/Christina arrive and in taxi now. TK/Rachel so happy they made it on the train. Nic jokes to Nathan/Jennifer, "Want to go say hello, blow them a few hugs and kisses?" Nic/Don go to see them and tell TK/Rachel that Jenn is so upset. Some comments here about how Nathan/Jennifer work so hard but TK/Rachel are so mellow and chill.

Train arrives and all are out and getting taxis. Don/Nic go a different way from the other two teams and it seems to at this point. Nathan/Jennifer and TK/Rachel stuck in traffic.

Don/Christina finishing their tea now. They have to figure out the clue that is painted in Chinese on the clue. Walk to market where there is a clown.

All the others racing now. Ron/Christina find the clown and get their clue. DETOUR. Fire or Earth? Fire: Find field and participate in Chinese ritual. Write messages of luck on laterns and send 20 sky laterns into the air. EARTH: Walk with bare feet down 220 foot path made of bare, ragged stones.

Nic/Don drinking their tea now. TK/Rachel looking now as are Nathan/Jennifer. TK/Rachel pass Nathan/Jennifer. TK/Rachel note that Nathan/jennifer are yelling.

TK/Rachel get tea. Nic/Don get someone to translate for them. Rachel worried about burning herself. TK/Rachel are done now as Nathan/Jennifer order tea. TK/Rachel get directions and head off. Nathan/Jennifer getting someone to walk them to the market.

Ron/Christina arrive at the park and doing the walking. Ron going first. He thinks his calloused feet over the stones helped a lot. Christina says it was like her feet were getting eaten by pirranhas. All other teams trying to figure out what they have to do. Ron/Christina get their clue.

Make way to pit stop, Chiang Kai-Shank (sp?) Memorial Hall Plaza. Ron/Christina are off.

eta: Chiang Kai-shek

Don/Nic get their clue and they decide to do Earth. They hurry to get taxi. TK/Rachel get clue and decide to do Earth. They head off to look for taxi.

Nathan/Jennifer get clue and decide to do Earth. TK/Rachel get a taxi while the others are asking for directions. Someone tells Nathan/Jennifer to get subway because traffic is bad. They find out that they have to go to a certain station and then take a bus.

TK/Rachel and Nic/Don on their way to the park. Nathan/Jennifer getting off subway and Nathan thinks a cab would be faster than a bus. They start bickering here because Jennifer says she can't deal with making a decision. Nathan tells her that he can't stand her. Others are standing around watching them fight and Nathan tells her that she's the one that got them into this mess.

Costacat! Are these rituals all Buddhism or Taoism?

I used to know people who do those regularly but never know exactly which...

Back with Nathan/Jennifer fighting. They fight so long that they catch the bus. Nathan tells Jennifer she is a poor teammate. She thanks him for ruining her birthday.

Ron/Christina are team #1. They tell each other that they love each other as they run to the mat. They jump up and down and hug each other. They are one of the three teams in the finals. They high five and hug again. They have won 5 night trip for 2 from Travelocity to ... an island in Lower Antilles. (sp??)

TK/Rachel see Youth Park now. Nic/Don are at Youth Park too and started the task. TK/Rachel right behind them. TK runs to the end. Nathan/Rachel arriving at the park now. TK/Rachel finish and get the clue. Nic/Don finish and get clue. Both are off in taxi. Both teams say they haven't seen Nate/Jenn. TK/Rachel get a taxi, driving Don crazy.

Nate/Jennifer walking the stones now. TK/Rachel's taxi doesn't speak English. TK/Rachel still searching a taxi as are Don/Nic. Nathan/Jennifer on their way back now. TK/Rachel finally get a taxi with Don/Nic still searching. TK says he doesn't want to see Nic/Don leave because they've done so great but it's a competition...

Nathan/Jennifer finally finish as Nic/Don get a taxi. Nathan/Jennifer seem to get a taxi right away. TK/Rachel hoping they are going to the right place.

TK/Rachel at the mat. They are team #2. They jump up and down and cheer. THey are one of the three teams in the finals. They says it feels, "Perfect!" and "Amazing!" to make it to the end.

Nic/Don are stuck in traffic. Nate/Jenifer think they see it. We don't know who is ahead of whom here...

Nic/Don are team #3. They high five and hug each other. They are so happy to have made it to the finals. Don says that was his goal.

Nathan/Jennifer are the last team to arrive and they have been eliminated. Jennifer, "I knew it!" They say it sucks. They say they did the best they could and they fought a lot. They say they have learned a lot about each other and their relationship. Jennifer says she isn't sure what will happen to them. Jennifer bitching to him about what they did during the race and he says he knows. He breaks down in tears as she complains to him and then she walks around and gives him a hug and he picks her up and hugs her back.

This isn't a deal where they had to win the leg, right? Think that was project runway.
