Thanks in advance Raen. I'm meeting people in 45 minutes for dinner. I should have told them 6:30, but then I was afraid I'd miss the show "live." I will have to be chatty and friendly without knowing who was eliminated. Maybe I should just skip dinner.

Beijing, China Back with Jaime/Cara arriving at the mat and finding out this leg isn't over yet. They say it was disheartening to hear Phil say the leg wasn't over yet. Jaime/Cara say as long as they aren't last, they don't care who the other people are. Margie/Luke are second team to arrive and get next clue. Luke yells at his mom to get going and she tells him if he yells at her again she's done. Jaime/Cara arrive and get next clue. Now must search shops of Bay High St Mall and find Travelocity Roaming Gnome. When they find it, next clue will be revealed. Margie/Luke there now too. Both searching. Tammy/Victor arriving at mat and getting next clue. They head off. They hope they make it to final 3 so they can focus on winning at that point. Kisha telling Jen she better not be crying. They arrive at mat and find out they are the last team to arrive... However, this leg is not over. Phil wishes them good luck and tells them not to give up. They head off. They leave with Phil shouting, "Good luck, guys, good luck." Tammy/Victor arrive and start searching. Three teams searching now. Looks like someone passed one. Margie/Luke find one and now must way across river? Find popular mode of transportation, bikes. Then must ride them somewhere. They head off as Jaime/Cara find one and they ask if a driver knows where to go. When he doesn't they decide to find another. Tammy/Victor find gnome and head out. Kisha/Jen have a gnome too. Tammy/Victor know they are headed to the Forbidden City. Jaime/Cara showing their driver the name of the place again because they want to make sure he knows where they are going. He doesn't really respond and she is getting annoyed at him. Kisha/Jen in a cab and off. Tammy/Victor arriving first and they get their bikes and head off. They almost get hit by cars crossing the crosswalk. Tammy figuring out the electric power on her bike. Margie/Luke arrive at the bikes while Jaime/Cara are searching for where to go. Kisha/Jen arrive at the bikes too and almost get run over by Margie/Luke leaving (ed: didn't look intentional, btw). Jaime/Cara finally find the bikes and head off. Tammy/Victor watching soldiers doing their military exercises in the morning. They are loving watching everything happening. Tammy/Victor arrive at clue box. DETOUR. Beijing Opera/Chinese Waiter. Beijing Opera: Make each other up and get fully costumed. Once done will get clue. Chinese Waiters: Customers will give orders in Manderin. Waiters must recite them to cook. Once have been cooked up and given to table they will get clue. They want to do Chinese Waiter because they think it'll be easier. Kisha/Jen pass Margie/Luke. Kisha/Jen arrive and decide to do Beijing Opera. Kisha wants to be the Prince/Gentlemen. (eta.. Raen.. I think she joked she would be the Princess since IRL she never dresses like a Princess) <sea> Margie/Luke arrive and decide to do Opera. Jaime/Cara arrive and decide the same. Jaime/Cara are last to the taxi. Tammy/Victor at their restaurant. In Chinese, Victor says that if they can't do this task their mom and dad will kill them. They start taking orders now. They talk about how the slightest difference in sound completely changes the meaning of the word. They are saying orders now. They get it wrong. They have to go back and take the orders again. Kisha/Jen say the taxi took them to the wrong place first. Now they are at the Opera House and making each other up. Jen says Kisha is going to scare a lot of children but then tells her she looks gorgeous. Kisha says she doesn't think they (Kisha/Jen) have any ill will towards Margie/Luke but wouldn't hesitate to do something to slow them down. Margie says they definitely want to beat Kisha/Jen. Margie keeps looking in the mirror as Luke works and he is getting annoyed at her. She tells him he's going to have to take something off. As they keep bickering, Luke tells her to stop moving. She says it's too much and shows him what she means on the girl. Frustrated he says, "I'm finished."

I don't think that task with the food was fair at all. How were the other teams to understand what the people were saying AT ALL for them to give the right food order to the chef? Only Victor and Tammy had a shot at understanding that. Tammy and Victor U-turned Jen and Kisha and it's not "blind." They had to put their picture up that they did it.

Back with Luke saying he's finished. Meanwhile Jen tells Kisha she's fine and she's doing well. Margie says Kisha/Jen are finishing before them. Margie says they finished fast. Margie/Luke switching places now. Tammy/Victor back for a second try. Victor says he'll let Tammy say it all. They get it right this time. Jaime/Cara searching for a taxi and finally get one. They try to act out "opera" for the taxi driver and off they go. Tammy/Victor serving their orders now and they get the clue. Make way on foot to sculpture it looks like? 2nd of only 2 U-Turns on this Race. This U-Turn will NOT be blind. They must post own picture and be held accountable to team they slowed down. Tammy/Victor talk about how it's very tough right now and trying to make it to the final three. They are out and looking for where to go, asking bystanders. Kisha/Jen are done and get their clue now. They read the clue and head out. Tammy/Victor decide to U-Turn Kisha/Jen. They write "Sorry!" on the photo and they head off. They hope their U-Turn works and the girls are eliminated this leg of the race. Kisha/Jen having a hard time finding someone who can tell them where to go. Margie/Luke are done with the make-up now. But still bickering as they get dressed up. Jaime/Cara arriving someplace but it's the National Opera not the Beijing Opera. Margie/Luke finally done and making their bow. They get the clue and head out. Tammy/Victor find next clue box. ROADBLOCK. Have to eat plate of crispy creatures. Grasshoppers, larvae, scorpions, and starfish. Victor is going to do it. He is disgusted by what he has to eat. It's being fried now. Victor is glad they are frying it because he was about to eat it raw. He decides to eat the starfish last. Victor eating now. Says he is trying not to think about how it tastes. Victor explains how it was to eat it (sorry, grossing me out so I'm NOT explaining it). Kisha/Jen still searching for where to go. Margie/Luke leave and searching now too. Margie shouting for someone knows English. Luke says he doesn't think it's too far. Jaime/Cara searching for taxi. They can't find one empty taxi. They worry that this is it for them.

Note: Tammy/Victor's note on the picture said more than 'sorry' but it flashed away too quickly and I was typing still so I missed it.

For whatever the reasons, I'm glad T/V u-turned K/J! FWIW, I think anyone with an ear for languages would've succeeded at the waiter task. You just need to be able to hear what's being said, and remember it.

Jaime/Cara finally get a taxi and head off. Back to Victor and his food. He's eating the scorpion now. He says, "Blech!" He does the grasshoppers next. Kisha/Jen still searching for where to go. They say it's very frustrating trying to talk to Chinese in their own language. Jaime/Cara see Margie/Luke as they arrive at the opera. Margie/Luke following someone but going the wrong way as the camera operators show us. Jaime/Cara doing makeup now. Victor starting the starfish now. Tammy says it looks like it'd be tasty. He says, "It is NOT." Must make way to Niao Chao, next pit stop. They get taxi and head off. Kisha/Jen following someone now. Margie/Luke hoping Tammy/Victor got there first and U-Turned Kisha/Jen. They worry they'll be in trouble if Kisha/Jen get there first. Jaime/Cara done and heading off. They find someone who points them one way. Margie/Luke's guide is calling now. Jaime/Cara getting pointed to where to go. Kisha/Jen are front of them. They see Margie/Luke now. All of them together now on the same street. No one knows where to go. Margie/Luke's friend tells them it's in the opera house. Margie/Luke arriving now and find it. They are happy to see that Kisha/Jen have been U-Turned. They think it'll be very important for Jaime/Cara. They say the U-turn could be the deciding factor. Tammy/Victor arriving at the mat now. They are Team #1. They hug. Phil congratulates them. They have won a trip for 2.

I don't know about having an "ear" since Tammy/Victor said that the language is so strange that if you just said it slighly different it would be something else.

Jaime/Cara talking to Kisha/Jen. Kisha/Jen say they are going to back to the Opera to start all over. Jaime/Cara saying they are just staying there. THey wonder about Margie/Luke. Margie/Luke get to ROADBLOCK. Margie going to do it. Kisha/Jen see the U-Turn and have to go do the other task. They get to the restaurant and taking orders now. Jaime/Cara being directed by someone again and they say they'll try it again. Margie eating now and drinking her water. Kisha/Jen going to try their orders now. They say they wrote it out just how they thought it sounded. They get it wrong and have to go back. Jen shaking her head as she listens to people, "We're black, not Chinese." Jaime/Cara wondering if it's at the end of the street. Margie still eating as Kisha/Jen keep trying their food orders. They keep getting it wrong. They apologize as they return to the table. Jaime/Cara worried that they'll never find it. They say it's one of the worst days of their life. Margie/Luke are done now and off to the pit stop. They high five in the cab. Back with Kisha/Jen taking orders again. They are giving them again. They get it right this time. They are so happy. They now have to wait to serve them. Jaime/Cara tell someone they have been looking for 3 hours but he can't help them get there. Margie/Luke hoping "someone" will be eliminated. Kisha/Jen serving their orders now and get the next clue. They are off. Kisha, "Let's go, baby, we still in this!" Jaime/Cara still asking people to show them where to go. Jaime says this is why she didn't want to go to China, it sucks. (Think she means not being able to communicate sucks, not China itself.)
