Thanks so much, Raen -- reading your spoiling is just like being there! It makes living on the west coast bearable.

Detour:
Rafting 8 miles down a river (Rio Grande) or building (build a raft and cross river and climb hill.)

Well, 15minutes doesn't SOUND too drastic for Joyce.. but not sure where they go next. I'd say Gretchen would be happy not to have to limbo, but who knows, she could be the senior limbo champ for all I know :-) She made it up that rope ladder, so she can do anything in my book.

Ron has sweat pouring off his face. Kelly does not look like she is much help. Just telling Ron how far behind they are!

Frenchman's Cove... 8:15. Rob/Amber start out with Ron/Kelly leaving after them. They are looking for taxis. Rob/Amber get one - they make sure the driver knows the way and off they go. Ron/Kelly get a taxi and they ask if he knows the way he says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Uch/Joy leaving now. Asking their driver if he knows the way and they are off.

Rob/Amber arrive. Detour. Ron/Kelly also there. Raft it or Build it. Raft - travel 8 miles down Rio Grande using a pole to steer. Build - must build bamboo raft using on tools provided and then go across the river on their raft.

Rob says 8 miles is a long way to go on the river - could take 2 hours. Rob/Amber decide to build.

Kelly says maybe they should to the opposite of Rob/Amber but Ron thinks it could take a long time to do 8 miles on a slow river and they decide to build. Kelly watching Rob/Amber get started.

They are both building quickly... a few moments of tension between Rob/Amber as they get coordinated. Uchenna puts on gloves and Amber asks Rob if he wants gloves. At the same time Ron puts on his gloves and Rob cuts his hand but he still refuses to use the gloves.

Kelly says she feels like she should be helping but isn't sure what to do... Uch/Joy working away as are Rob/Amber. Kelly observes that Uch/Joy have their fourth stick on and she and Ron only have their 2nd. Amber observes that Rob is in construction so he's working away.

Rob apologizes for snipping at Amber - says he doesn't mean to be like that but they need to get this thing finished. She says she's doing whatever she can help with to get it done.

Ron/Kelly having some trouble. Amber says that Uch/Joy are at the about the same place in building as she and Rob while Ron/Kelly seem to be doing it in a different order. Rob/Amber and Uch/Joy both getting their seat on the raft.

Ron says that Kelly is so concerned with everyone else that she isn't concentrating on their own raft.

Rob/Amber see if they are done but they have a few problems they have to fix before they can put it in the water. Amber observes that Ron/Kelly seem to have problems they need to fix.

Finally Rob/Amber can put it in the water now too...Looks like Ron/Kelly could put into water too but then get stuck on something.

Rob/Amber across the water with Uch/Joy right behind. Rob goes up the rope quickly to get the clue and is coming back down now as Uch/Joy pass them to get the clue.

Now they are back on the raft and back on their way across the river again.

Oh - looks like Ron/Kelly could not go in the water yet. They are still working.

Rob/Amber are back across the river but Rob gets his sneaker stuck in the water. He gets it finally as Uch/Joy's raft runs into him. He and Amber jump off and go quickly to the taxi.

Uch/Joy get ahead of them and are in their taxi on their way.

Travel by taxi to the next pit stop - Montego Bay.

Ron/Kelly are behind now.. running for their taxi. They tell their driver to hurry as much as he can. Kelly says their driver is good and hopefully they can catch up.

Uch/Joy, Rob/Amber, and Ron/Kelly are all back to back. Rob/Amber have to sto and get gas... so do Uch/Joy. Rob/Amber's driver insists that they'll be fast and he'll get them there first.

Uch/Joy and Rob/Amber at the same gas station. Uch/Joy get off first and Rob urge their driver to go fast. Ron/Kelly arrive at the station now and they tell their driver they need to beat the others.

Finally Rob/Amber get going... Uch/Joy now stuck in traffic jam with Rob/Amber right behind.

Police pulls Rob/Amber over and Uch/Joy laugh at them. Ron/Kelly pass them now... Ron is hoping Rob/Amber's lucky streak has ended now.

Rob/Amber back on their way now - hoping they wll catch up with the others. (Not looking too encouraged though.)

To clarify - it was just a routine police check - they didn't actually do anything to get pulled over. Just bad luck there.

I'm confused by the pit stop already. It seems awfully early for it?

Don't we have two legs, this one and there will be a non elimination, and then the final leg where we get the amazing finish?? That's what I was thinking.
