I know I'm jumping in late here and haven't really kept up with this season... but! Out of nowhere a stranger in South Africa happens to recognize Amber, seemingly when the chips are down for her and Rob...when they edit it to make Amber look like an unsophisticated shopper, out of nowhere comes the cavalry and saves the day. You gotta be kidding me that Amber can't shop...she could probably swindle Goodwill. Angel, indeed. I smell a rat.

Ray/Deanna depart at 10:41 PM. Must drive themsevles 40 miles to Rhino/Lion Nature Reserve and must sign up for one of two shuttles into the reserve where they will feed lions. Hmmm, it's dark out and they are on their way. Deanna having difficulty driving the car. Ron/Kelly: 12:39 AM. Ron/Kelly saws the sign for the reserve on their way to the caves the other day so they feel good. Ray/Deanna arrive. Won't open until 8AM (naturally). Ray complains they had a great lead and now have to wait (yeah, yeah, buddy get used to THAT). Greg/Brian leaving now - missed their time. One of them jokes that the clue says to make their way home and get something for dinner. Lynn/Alex: 1:24 AM. Rob/Amber: 1:33 AM. Amber doesn't think that the other people in the race will warm up to them as the race goes on. Greg/Brian are the last to make it on the 1st shuttle at 8AM. Lynn/Alex sign up for the 9AM shuttle. They are bummed that they are now with the "rest of the folks." Uchenna/Joyce are off with Mere/Gret right behind at 3:51. Mere says, "Alright, we go as far as we can go." Gret is worried about carrying their passports in a plastic bag. She still has a small bandage on her face. Rob/Amber are on the second shuttle right behind Lynn/Alex. Rob says those guys drive him nuts. Mere/Gret arrive at the reserve before Uchenna/Joyce. Then they arrive as well. They are all waiting around now. Uchenna and Meredith are talking...OH! Uchenna and Joyce came to Mere/Gret's door last night and gave them a bag of clothes. How nice. Mere/Gret are asking everyone for a little bit of $$. Several are giving them $$ but Rob says he is not giving them anything. Ray also doesn't give them anything. He says maybe a little bit later in the leg. The first shuttle is loading up. The guide tells them to stay inside at all times and, even if a lion jumps into the shuttle, to stay absolutely still and do nothing. They all have buckets. The lions are anxious for the meat. They are now throwing out the meat to the lions. They are all done now and back for their clues. Clue: Fly to Gaborone in Botswana. 150 miles to fly then travel by bus and train over 140 miles to somewhere. I missed where they'd find the nexts clue. They are in their cars and off to the airport now. Ray/Deanna following Greg/Brian. Second shuttle loading up now and they are joking about remaining calm about the lions jumping into the vehicle. Amber loves the lions. Uchenna says he will not make eye contact with anyone. They are feeding them now. Amber says, "This is amazing." Back to the first three racing to the airport. Ron/Kelly arrive first and off to get a ticket. First flight at 1:35 PM but she sends them to another place that has a 12:00PM flight. Brian/Greg there now. They are getting on the same flight. Ray/Deanna finally arrive - Deanna goes the wrong way and misses the departures terminal. They finally make it in... they have tickets (not sure if they're on the same flight). Second shuttle folks off now. Lynn/Alex are in 4th place. Mere/Gret following them as are Rob/Amber. Uchenna/Joyce say the other teams went the wrong way... Ohh, Lynn/Alex stop at the toll booth and realize they went the wrong way. They all turn around and head back. Uchenna/Joyce now in 4th and back at the airport. They make it onto the 12PM flight that is now boarding. They are very happy. Brian/Greg, Ron/Kelly, Uche/Joy, and Ray/Deanna on the first flight and off. Mere/Gret are on the 1:35 FLIGHT. ROB/Amber also on the 1:35 flight. Lynn/Alex are not at the airport. They are driving into the city and can't figure out where they are at... they are scared as it looks like a bad part of town. They quickly roll up their windows and are frustrated.

Good point legal - I wasn't thinking of that only because I know they get provided the coats, etc. - warmer clothes they absolutely need for those climates but still a good point. Thanks And, thanks to everyone else for the spoiling comments

Haha Sea - on the comment about the $$$. I'd also not want to contribute to the team with no $$, especially after last season where, after asking the teams for money, they ended up with more $$ than any of the other teams. However, I could never say no to their face. I'd cave in a minute.

Lynn/Alex pulling over and asking the person least likely to have a gun (their quote) for directions. One of them says, "Ooh, it's Tupac." They pay someone to lead them to the airport. Lynn/Alex just make it on the 1:35 AM flight and are relieved to be on the same flight. First flight lands and they are all getting taxis now to the train station. Ron/Kelly getting tickets to Francistown. Train won't leave until 9PM and Kelly notes that everyone will end up catching up with them. Second flight landing. Lynn/Alex get a van and Rob/Amber try to get on it too but Lynn/Alex refuse to let them on the van. Lynn/Alex say if it had been anyone else they would have let them on but not Rob/Amber. Rob/Amber at the train station now. Rob is pissed off and says he is done being nice. All on the train to Francis Town. Then will get a bus and look for the giant aardvark. They all arrive and are getting the clue. A plane swoops down over them. ROADBLOCK. Hunting training exercise. Throw a spear 20 feet and hit moving target. When they hit the target they will get their next clue. Ron, Rob, Lynn, Ray, Meredith... I missed who else is doing it. Oh lordy - Meredith can't find the bushmen. I never knwo the brothers. Lynn is working on it. No one has gotten it yet - Rob gets close but doesn't hit it. Joyce is doing it for their team. Brian finally hits the target and gets the clue. Drive over 35 miles to remote cattle post... Ron does it and Lynn does it. They are all off. Greg/Brian grab one of the cars/guide and are off. Ron says he has driven through the deset in the military and gets a quick start. Ray finally gets his target and is off. Deanna tells him to have some patience for once. Joyce hits the target. They don't remember where their bags are though... Ray/Deanna are off. Rob has lost his patience and can't do it now... Meredith makes it and they are off. Rob is frustrated but finally manages to do it. Amber claps for him and they are off. Uchenna/Joyce finally get their bags and are off to their truck. Mere/Gret are off before Rob/Amber with Uchenna/Joyce bringing up the rear. Ron/Kelly in first with Brian/Greg and Lynn/Alex right behind. Rob/Amber pass Mere/Gret on the road. They see another team now... they pass Ray/Deanna. Ray is annoyed at Deanna for that as Gret tells Mere to slow down. Uchenna/Joyce following Meredith/Gret. Ron/Kelly driving right along. Uh oh. Brian/Greg were right behind with Brian noting that the car slides and Greg tells him to stay on the road... and the accident happens. The car flips - we see the broken windshield and hear Greg say,"BRIAN," then commercial.

Sea - they said, "This reminds me of Compton." or something like that. They may have said it is worse than Compton but I think it was more that it was reminding them of Compton. Sorry - I always miss the quotes and I'm obviously on the East Coast so the comments didn't stand out as much to me

hmm. well guess I'll have to see it, but based on that, raising my hand. Can't say I hang out in Compton and bet they don't either. So they are stereotyping.. I might have to say "just like West Hollywood" to get back at them. Thanks, Raen!

Back we are - they rolled over. One of the guys - a camera guy maybe? is hurt. Lynn/Alex pull over and ask Greg/Brian if they are ok. Lynn/Alex are very anxious and worried about them. Rob/Amber drive past even though Rob says that it is a race and they don't want anyone to get hurt. However, they do just drive by. Oops - too busy worrying about that. DETOUR - Ron and Kelly doing FOOD. FOOD: Traditional wooden container and two sticks to grind corn - must pass the test for consistency. (Two women will judge.) I missed the other one..something to do with filling up an ostrich egg and burying them. Medics arrive and Lynn/Alex take off. They still can't believe that Rob/Amber didn't stop and ask about what happened. Ray/Deanna drive past but ask out the window if everyone is alright. Mere/Gret do the same as do Uchenna/Joyce. Brian/Greg must wait for a backup car now. Ron/Kelly are working on the grinding but still have a way to go. Ok WATER - They use straws to pull up water and fill up the eggs and bury them. Rob/Amber are doing WATER. Lynn/Alex are doing FOOD. Lynn/Alex filling Ron/Kelly in on the accident and that Rob/Amber didn't stop. Kelly urges Ron on - that Rob/Amber do not deserve to win. Kelly/Ron finally finish and must drive 7 miles to ... ack - I keep missing the names of these places ... to pit stop. Rob/Amber still working hard. They have one egg left and now are burying the eggs. They are done and are off. Lynn/Alex still working on their corn. Ray/Deanna finally arrive with Mere/Gret and Uchenn/Joyce right behind. Ray/Deanna are doing FOOD. Mere/Gret and Uchenn/Joyce both doing FOOD as well. All teams working on the grinding now as Brian/Greg finally get going. They say a prayer for themselves and their cameraman. Lynn/Alex are fighting about how to grind as the others are working. All teams slowly but surely filling up their baskets. Ron/Kelly and Rob/Amber on their way to the pit stop. Ron/Kelly are parking now with Rob/Amber pulling right up behind them. Amber drops something and they go back to pick it up. Ron/Kelly are team #1. They high five and kiss. Rob/Amber are team #2. Phil asks them about the wreck. Phil asks if they stopped at all. Rob says no they didn't, it's a race and Phil says, "So, you left them on the side of the road?" Back to the DETOUR. All teams working on the grinding. Mere/Gret are resting - they don't have enough. Brian/Greg how the detour is physically tough as they need someone to slow down. All asking about their baskets but only Uchenna/Joyce get it. They are off to the pit stop. Gret is resting as Lynn/Alex finish. They are off to pit stop. Ray does something - must have hit Deanna or something because she says, "Ow, Ray, the least you could do is apologize." Instead he makes some comment about teamwork and she says, "You can do it yourself." - commercial -

So, I'm not sure how I feel about the car thing. On one hand, I'd be the type to stop and make sure everyone was ok. On the other hand, they could clearly see another team had already stopped and it is a race.
