The best part of all of this Rob did it to himself. He wanted to play a mind game and told Gretchen about an earlier flight. He totally did this to himself.

Thanks Hamster :-) - I can never get the entire convos.

I can't imagine ANYONE is going to do the Columns detour. It was hard to even type compared to the KILOS. It sounds like a cool place (the well held up by the columns) but just figuring out the combo on the lock from the numbers on four columns would be hard.

Amber says she thought they had been in the lead the entire time. Rob/Amber now really HURRYING now that they know they are not in first place. Rob/Amber searching for a gnome. They find one and head back out quickly. They ask their ferry driver about where they need to go. They realize they must take a ferry back and then get a taxi.

Ron/Kelly getting on the smaller ferry as Rob/Amber get back on the big one. Ron/Kelly don't ask about what teams came before them. They think maybe they could have beaten Rob/Amber but then they see they have the last clue and they are the last to arrive. Now they are hurrying. Ron says this is kind of a nightmare.

Both teams rushing now. Rob/Amber are stuck on a ferry while Ron/Kelly just grab a taxi and are off.

Uch/Joy: ROADBLOCK, "Is climbing your forte?" Must climb 25 foot rope ladder and get a key. Then repel back down and unlock their clue. Uchenna is going to do it. Joyce says she is so glad he is going to do it and not her.

Uchenna gets up, goes up the tower to get his key... he's searching for a key but doesn't see it hanging on the tower.

Mere/Gret are now looking for the man with the scales to get theirs... Mere asks if that is the man (he points to the guy) and she says no, it should be a big scale. They can not find the man now.

Uchenna finally finds his key and is on his way back down... He unlocks the clue... they must search the fortress and find something? It's the pit stop. He finally joins Joyce and off they go to the pit stop.

Uchenna/Joyce are team #1. They hug and kiss. Phil asks them for the gnome. It does not have the plane on the bottom but they are team #1 second time in a row. They say they are happy to be there in first place. They hug.

Wow -- first team to arrive with more than 20 minutes left? They must be planning to really focus on R/A R/K race to the end

Oh - sorry Mere/Gret did not pass the guy with the scales. They finally find him and are now trying to get people to step up onto the scale. They are trying to gather people as Rob/Amber finally get on a taxi. They hope they couldn't get a taxi at the other site.

Ron/Kelly in their taxi on their way.

Mere/Gret getting people and finally get their total. Now they are off to the roadblock.

Rob/Amber arrive at DETOUR and decide on KILOS. Now they are a little lost looking for the place with the scales.

Ron/Kelly arrive and go inside the tower. They go the top and realize the clue is not at the top. Ron/Kelly are bickering. Rob/Amber asking directions and the guy says to walk, it is 1 kilometer.

Ron/Kelly finally see the cluebox from the top and head back down. They are fighting again about going to the top. Kelly says it is her fault and says, take the clue and all that. Ron says that he'll just play the game by himself from now on... UM, ok they are going to do the columns?! Ron picked the COLUMNS saying it would be easier to do...

Rob/Amber arrive at the scales and are weighing people. They are quickly getting people and adding up the numbers. Ron/Kelly now making up in the taxi. Say they are not mad at each other. They arrive at the well and are working on finding their columns. They are quickly finding their columns and writing down the numbers. They arrive at the well and pull their box out.

Mere/Gret arrive at the tower and Gret is going to try the climbing. Mere says she has a lot of determination and he thinks she'll make it he just hopes she'll be ok. Off she goes and quickly realizes it's not as easy as it looks.

Rob/Amber finish with the scale and are off.

Ron/Kelly pull up their box (sorry they had just said that they had to do that before). Now they are working on their combos to try and get the box open. Finally they get it and get the next clue. Off they go. Kelly says he did a good job with the grid and he says he can use a map, nobody can doubt that!

Meanwhile Gret has realized she is in big trouble on the rope ladder (her legs are killing her).

Well, it's good that Gret/Mere had that lead because they will obviously need it at this point. I'm not sure it's going to be enough of a lead to get them through this rope ladder climbing task.

I thought Uch, handled it well, we dont need prizes. They are a nice couple, it is nice to see them come in first after RA and RK tried to trick them about the earlier flight.

Woohooo!!! R/K is still in the race. It's a non-elim leg and they won the prize. $20,000 to spend on travelocity. For the next 12 hours, they get to go to a 4-star hotel and stay in a suite.

Back to Gret struggling on the rope ladder. She notes that her upper body strength is not very good. She is almost to the top and finally she makes it up. She says a 66 year old lady shouldn't be doing things like this...

Rob/Amber and Ron/Kelly are racing each other to get to the roadblock.

Gret is at the top of the tower looking for a key and finally finds it. She makes her way back down and gets ready to repel down. Off she goes... she finally makes it to the bottom with Mere cheering her on. She gets the clue to the pit stop and Mere/Gret are off to the pit stop.

Mere/Gret are team #2. They kiss. They hand over their gnome. It is not a winning gnome. They say they are so proud of themselves.

Rob/Amber arrive and read the clue. Rob is going to do it. He gets suited up and is off. Amber cheers him on and she heads off to the front.

Ron/Kelly arrive now and Ron is going to do it. They see Amber and realize they have to hurry. Kelly hopes they dropped their gnome somewhere...

Rob is off to look for the key now. Ron is up to the top now and off to look for his key. Rob grabs his and is on his way down. He is getting ready to repel down as Kelly arrives at Amber. Kelly says, "Hey," and Amber says it back. (Kind of uncomfortable moment there...)

Rob is down and finally gets the clue open. They head off as Ron is still looking for his key.

Rob/Amber are team #3. Phil says it was a very close competition and he points over to Ron at the tower. Amber says Ron/Kelly are tough competition. Phil takes their gnome. It is not a winning gnome.

Rob says they made a stupid mistake today and that's why they are in third place. Next leg they won't miss the flight.

Ron finally finds the key and makes his way down. They arrive at the mat. They are the last team to arrive. It's a non-elimination leg and they are both still in the race. They hug. They must hand over all their $$ and their possessions. They hand it over now... they also hand over their gnome to Phil. They, of course, win the prize. They get $20,000 to spend on Travelocity.

For the next 12 hours - they will go to a first class suite at the Four Seasons Hotel while everyone else sits at the pit stop. They hug.

So.... does that mean they can beg for $$$ at the hotel? Phil did say they MUST "start" the next leg with 0 dollars. Does he mean that they can't beg before getting the first clue?

Next time on TAR: Uch helps Mere/Gret with a difficult DETOUR. A roadblock drives teams crazy (it has to do with manuevering double-decker buses).

Wow, what a nice prize. I often wonder what the teams do with these prizes if they don't stay together after the race. LOL.

Next week, one of the guys makes the comment "It's like trying to teach a woman how to drive." We also see Joyce, driving the bus, hollering at Uchenna....something about not being able to understand a thing he's saying.
