People are hurrying down to help Gretchen now. Meredith is worried about her. Her head is all bloody. Gretchen says, "I can see 4 fingers." They are patching Gretchen up - she is going to need one stitch - she yells at Meredith to go find the clue and now she is worried about having a roadblock to do yet.

Back at the market, Kelly is done getting all of her items. She turns them all in and they get the clue. Must load the items into their car and deliver them to the Orlando Children's Home and they will get their next clue there.

Ron/Kelly are off.

Lynn/Alex arrive and see the brothers.

Brian/Greg are done now though. Ugh. I can't tell Lynn/Alex apart so I'm not sure which one is doing the shopping.

Brian/Greg are off now. Oh - rules say, "This is a children's home and you should be careful, you can not run."

Mere/Gret finally get the clue and are out of the cave. They are off to the next clue. Gret's head is wrapped in bandages.

Rob/Amber arrive. Amber is going to shop.

Ron/Kelly at the Children's Hospital. The children all cheer for them when they arrive. Kelly hugs one of the kids. They deliver the items and get their clue. Kelly says she wishes they could stay and play.

Now must search for Soweto Overlook, near where Nelson Mandela used to live - the pit stop for this leg of the race.

Ron/Kelly off to their car, getting directions from a local. They thank him as Brian/Greg arrive.

Brian/Greg are high fiving the kids and they get their clue. They shake hands with the kids and are off. That was funny, "Don't do drugs and stay out of trouble."

Ron/Kelly are team #2. They hug. Ron thought they were #1 but they are still happy. Phil says he has seen them cleaner and they laugh.

Lynn/Alex are donw now and off to the Children's Home. They says, "Bye Rob, bye Rob."

Amber seems to be having trouble with something...

Brian/Greg are team #3. They high five.

Lynn/Alex arrive and get the clue and are off to the pit stop. They wave to the kids.

Amber is buying something and meets a fan - the fan wants to help her find the items in the market. Now she is moving faster. The lady pulls her from place to place - keeps rushing her along. Finally she has everything... the fan is now going to help them find the Children's Home.

Uchenna/Joyce trying to get directions to the marketplace as Gret/Mere also stopping to get directions.

Lynn/Alex see the other cars and they are team #4. They are happy and relieved.

Uchenna/Joyce in 6th place. Uchenna is going to shop.

Rob/Amber now arrive at the Children's Home and get their next clue. Rob stopped to play with the kids but then has to go (I think he was kicking the soccer ball with one of the guys).

Uchenna/Joyce get all of their items as Gret/Mere arrive. Gretchen is going to shop. Mere says he is worried about her but they are doing the best that they can.

Uchenna/Joyce arrive at the home. Uchenna is worried that they are last. Joyce tells him not to say that. The kids clap for them as the come in... Uchenna says, "Wow." They hug the lady from the home and she gives them the clue. They wave to the kids and are off to the pit stop.

Joyce says the orphanage was really special. Oh, Joyce can't have a child and the orphanage just made her realize how many kids are out there to be adopted.

Mere/Gret finally done and off ...

Rob/Amber are team #5 - they bring their fan onto the mat with them and introduce her to Phil.

Mere/Gret deliver their items and are off to the pit stop. They worry they will be eliminated.

Uchenna/Joyce appear to be lost? Oh, finally they arrive, they are team #6. They are very happy. Joyce starts crying talking about the kids at the orphanage.

Mere/Gret finally arrive and see all the cars already there. They are the last team to arrive. They nod... good news is it is a non-elimination leg. They hug. They hand over all of their $$$.

They will get no $$$ at the start of the next leg of the race - more bad news. OH! They must hand over all of their possessions - he is taking everything except their passports and the clothes on their backs - for the rest of the race, they will have only what they can gather from here on out.

I really don't know what a hardship that is? I guess I don't see enough of how they use the stuff in their backpacks to know what it means to lose it.

I couldn't believe Phil was making them give up all their possessions! First the money, then the clothes. Next thing, I expected him to ask Gretchen to hand over her bandage...

I want to be stunned by this latest twist. But come on, we always see what an easy time the teams have when they have little resources.

Phil recaps that Sowenta was the 5th pit stop in a race around the world and is filling us in on what we missed in the past hour.

It seems worse because the older couple already seemed so vulnerable.

True Scout, I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds like it it starting to hurt to watch them race.

Wow that's new.. giving up possessions like little lights for the dark? I don't like the begging aspects of it though.

I'm sure everyone is tired of Rob and Amber comments, but this episode really illustrated the advantage that their fame gives them over other racers. If *everyone* in the race had been on TV and had a fan base, then it would be equal footing - but that isn't the case.

Rob and Amber don't have to only rely on charm, like every other racer - they have an extra advantage that has absolutely nothing to do with their individual ability to run the race. People go to much greater lengths simply because they are famous - and that is a totally unfair advantage.

It has nothing to do with luck or ability, it is something that belongs to only ONE team in the race, and it helps them complete the leg faster and that is simply not fair to the other teams.

Well Gret/Mer must have been able to get new clothes or something because they're in diff clothes than they were in at the end of the previous leg.

Hmmmmm.

Other teams on all seasons have gotten help though.. And sometimes local advice can be wrong.. always a gamble.

And they have indeed shown ability, and, as Rob pointed out, luck, too.

The cabs are always luck of the draw and can make or break any team.. or the breaking down boats.. no one has control over that.

Ahhhh....Uchenna & Joyce gave Gret/Mere some clothes for them to wear. Some of the other teams are giving them some money to continue. Ray/Deana and Rob/Amber don't want to contribute.

it is very important to have their backpacks because this is for the REST of the race and we have seen people go to places like siberia, the mountains, etc etc and all different weather - so to just have t-shirts and pants - and not the jackets or other clothing they packed for various locations, that could be hard.

I wouldn't want to contribute either.. last season the people getting money ended up with more than some other teams. But I'd probably be too much of a softy to say no.

So true Seamonkey. I have heard Reichen and others talk about how the "smoking camera crew" slows you down as well. So everything is the luck of the draw and many other teams have been escorted, Rob/Amber aren't the first.

Legal I wasn't saying they shouldn't HAVE their backpacks and was just making a joke about them being lighter..
