Shana/Jennifer using the U-TURN on Lorena/Jason. They thought that was the team they saw behind them and assumed they were still second to last.

TK/Rachel relieved to see it was Lorena/Jason but say that it was probably a stupid move on Shana/Jennifer and it might backfire on them. TK in the taxi says it is unfortunate that Shana/Jennifer did that and they wouldn't have done that.

Lorena/Jason arrive and have no idea they have been U-Turned as they decide to do SHAKE YOUR BOOTY.

ROAD BLOCK: Who is ready for juggling act?

Azaria doing the task. Jennifer doing it as well. They have to pick out a bunch of things and pile it all on a bicycle. Nathan pointing out some rope to Jennifer so she can tie some things on, etc.

Lorena/Jason doing the dance now. She talks about how she is Puerto Rican and they love to dance. He says he fell in love with her on the dance floor. They wait for the judges and Jason says he feels like he is on American Idol right now. The judges pass them and they get moving.

TK/Rachel passing Shana/Jennifer now. Back at the goat market, Azaria heads off on his bike. He is asking directions now as is Jennifer. Azaria gets someone to take him there. Jennifer telling Nathan to calm down because he is stressing her out.

Vyxsin is doing this task. Nicolas is doing it.

Lorena/Jason find out they have been u-turned and they can't believe it. They head back. Lorena says she is pissed. Jason can't believe someone actually used the U-Turn.

Jennifer can't find her spot. Azaria arrives and is delivering his stuff. Jennifer than finds her person.

TRAVEL BY TAXI to Hotel De Ville, the pit stop for this leg of this race. Last team to check in, with chicken in hand, may be eliminated.

Azaria yelling at Hendekea to get his bag. They race off with Nathan/Jennifer right behind them. They are racing off now.

Lorena/Jason getting their gold now. Christina doing the task for them. Vyxsin's bike falls over and she has to start over. Christina is off. Lorena/Jason getting a bunch of gold.

TK/Jason and Shana/Jennifer arrive and picking who has to do the task. Rachel is going to do it as Vyxsin is sill having trouble. Lorena/Jason finish and head off.

Jennifer says she is not very happy about Shana's decision while Shana says she thinks it was a smart strategic move. TK saying something about having ot live with it and she says she knows.

Vyxin did the task again. She really works hard at this race.
What's Kynt going to do when he's forced to do something real "tough" when Vy used up her turns?

Back with Christina trying to find the person she needs to deliver her stuff to. Kynt telling Vyxsin to stay calm. Lorena/Jason off in their taxi. They say it is crucial for them to stay positive.

Nicolas looking for who he needs to deliver to. Vyxsin asking someone to take her, a bunch of kids leading her and cheering for her. She says they were great.

Shana tying the stuff down to her bike. But saying she can't deal with it and they are screwed. Nathan/Jennifer want to get ahead of Azaria/Hendekea. Each searching for the place. Hendekea screaming to open the door and get out. Racing Nathan/Jennifer now and Nathan says they dropped something. Jennifer yells, "Come on, you guys, you've been first two times!"

Azaria/Hendekea are team #1.

Phil asks Jennifer about her tears and she says it is so frustrating to be so close. She feels like everyone should get their chance and they've had it two times already. Hendekea says that she loves Nate/Jen but she doesn't feel comfortable letting someone else get first if they could get it.

Nicolas/Donald are done and off in the taxi as are Ronald/Christina. Kynt/Vyxsin off now too. Vyxsin talks about how it was at the market and the people being wonderful and how it's hard to see people growing up like this but being so wonderful. She's crying now and Kynt tells her it is ok.

Lorena/Jason staying positive. Shana can't figure out where to go, asking people. Rachel also looking for her person. Jennifer worried about Jason/Lorena passing them. Shana still lost in the market place as is Rachel.

Chy: Yeah, I know. Hendekea should have said, "Well, there was no prize on this leg so it's not like it'd get you anything." Haha. Can't believe Jennifer thinks they should have just given it to them... as if she and Nathan would do that.

Jason talks about how they did good today and he doesn't want to use this race because of a stupid U-Turn.

Donald/Nicolas and Christina/Ronald arriving now. Each racing for the mat. Donald/Nicolas go the wrong way at first but then follow Christina/Ronald. Each of them have their chickens.

Ronald/Christina are team #3. Donald/Nicolas are team #4.

Rachel finds the person and gets the clue. She heads back now. Shana finally finds her person and heads back with the clue. Rachel isn't sure where to go and gets lots. Shana and Jennifer are off. TK still awiting for Rachel as she isn't sure where she is.

Kynt/Vxysin are team #5. They hug. Phil wants to know what kind of reaction they've gotten. Kynt says it is amazing how open and tolerant these people are. Vyxsin says it is unbelievable and life-changing and heartbreaking. She says it was difficult for her to see such wonderful people in such bad conditions.

As Phil declares Shana/Jennifer are team #6, Lorena/Jason say they are going to screw over the blondes.

Rachel finally makes her way back and TK tells her it is ok. They head off. Lorena/Jason arrive at task and Jason does it as Lorena says he amazes her.

TK/Rachel are team #7.

Lorena crying in the taxi and Jason tells her it is ok, they'll make a million dollars another way. He continues to reassure her as she cries.

Lorena/Jason are last team to arrive and they've been eliminated from the race. Phil wants to know what the future is for them. She says she wants them to stay together and make that million dollars a different way. She says marriage is important to her but being in the race and seeing so many other important things that she's not in such a rush to do it. Jason says he loves her but that marriage adds a confinement that you don't have when you're just together. He says when two people are in love, they are in it because they want to be in it. We go to commercial on them kissing and Phil telling us to stay tuned for scenes from next time.

Some people, let's say, are full of surprisses, Raen. :-)

The Chinese charactors on Team Goth's pink shirts says : Love Peace Chi?? It doesn't make sense. Love peaceful air? Or spirit? Is it Japenese-borrowed Khan-Chee?

Next week: Ron takes a nasty spill at the DETOUR. Trouble bears down on the blondes. They are bickering as they wait somewhere and then we see as they seem to stall out as a bus comes at them.

Wow! I rewinded and it really looks like the Blonds were getting hit by the bus!
Of course it's just another mis-directing from the editors. As if we will be fooled.

You'd better be careful A/H- there's still one U-Turn left out there- and you don't want to make an enemy that might use it on you if you have some bad luck....

and I don't blame the blondes for using the U-Turn-there's only a few things in the race that you can do do hinder other teams (getting the first transport time, etc), and they knew they were in the danger zone. If it's between you and one other team to stay in the game, you do what you have to do. And they had a better chance ot survive than if they still had the Yield actually-they were only hindered by the amount of time it takes to get back to the Detour and do the other option- not wait for an hourglass to run out-so they have some control there. L/J were just a little too far back to save themselves is all.

I must have missed the rule that says everyone gets a turn at being first in Amazing Race. You learn something new every week.

Seriously, Jen, they should let you go ahead of them? So, if it's the last leg for the million dollars, we can count on you to step aside, and let the team behind you win because "it's their turn"?

the show is on right now. Ordinarily I would not come post BUT I am here to implore anyone who loves animals to email AR and CBS to complain about the use of LIVE animals as part of the comps. Seeing animals used as "props" makes me nauseous.

That poor chicken has been without food and WATER for hours.

That poor goat is trussed up in a manner that would be illegal here. Using the goat as baggage demeans the whole race IMHO. what happens to the innocent animal if someone wipes out on the bike?

there seems to be ZERO concern for the animals.

Anyways, if they want to use animals as theatric parts of the show I only hope that when they come back to the USA they can do a Comp involving helping stun animals for kill in a slaughterhouse.

It would be 'just as entertaining'??

it is equal in my eyes

excuse spelling etc, I am doing this in a commerical

By the way, I was raised on a farm and yes I've butchered animals. But there is a dignity that should be given to an animal IMHO. Seeing that Chicken thrown around and tormented in the bag by teams in the Cab made me sick.

Those are LIVE creatures which feel hunger, thirst and PAIN.

Sunshyne, I don't think these animals were just "props." I think the producers were showing us how the animals are transported there. The people do the best they can with their animals. Economics dictates travel by bicycle for goat kids and chickens in bags. I am glad some of the racers took their chickens out of the bags.

I think it was horrible to use those poor goats and chickens as part of the show. Does not matter if that is how they treat animals there, they did not need to promote that treatment. Nor did they need to ruin this episode for someone who is very animal sensitive like me. The only good thing is I taped it and was able to FF most of it. Very sad and disappointing episode for me.

I appreciate your sensitivity, but are they supposed to ignore local customs? i am very sensitive to object poverty, should they not show that?

That is not what I am saying at all. The poverty is shown, but they (TAR) are not actively hurting the people. The chickens and the goats were likely hurt (and at the very least very uncomfortable) as a part of the game (chickens in bags, bounced and dragged around; the goats tied up and bounced along in the bikes.) That is the difference. <55>

Sunshyne and Julie, I hope you're in the least writing to the producers of TAR, otherwise . . . .

When they were in the taxi driving to the detour they showed natives riding bikes transporting goats and chickens in the very same way...it's not part of the game...it's a way of life.

While watching the show last night, I said I was going to write them a letter about using animals in their challenges. I don't like it one bit.

And, no, I don't like people suffering either. But they aren't thrown in bags and tied up like those defenseless creatures.

Off to compose my letter...

TAR has never done anything gratuitous or deviated from local customs to my knowledge.

The goats were already tied in the baskets at the market when the TAR team arrived; that is the only way the venders transport their stock.
TAR was not and is not responsible or showing any more cruelty to animals than what was already done by the venders.

With who are you disappointed TAR or the venders?
