2:30 flight. Ray still complaining about being in the back of the pack.

Back to the train now. Lynn/Alex using a map to ask train passengers about directions. They move to the front of the train to be the first off. Rob/Amber now moving up there too. Lynn/Alex staying away from them...

Lynn/Alex are off and they see where to go... Rob/Amber follow right behind. It's right over the water.

DETOUR. Shipwreck or Island. Shipwreck: Search 7 sq mi area full of shipwrecks for a certain shipwreck - they'll only have a picture to go on.

On island they must go 4 miles down the delta to find their island and get onto the island to get their clue.

Lynn/Alex doing the Island. Rob/Amber doing the Shipwreck I think.

Rob/Amber looking at the boats now. Lynn/Alex pass Rob and Amber but Rob/Amber going the other way.

Uche/Joy doing Shipwreck. Ron/Kelly ... not sure what they're doing. Greg/Brian are right behind them but beat them out. Greg/Brian doing Shipwreck and Ron/Kelly doing the Island.

Lynn/Alex say they feel confident about their island. Rob/Amber are off and going... Lynn/Alex are worried about the water in the boat but they say, at least Rob/Amber are not in sight.

Rob/Amber find their boat. Travel by taxi to next pit stop, 35 miles to La Martina. Rob/Amber on their way back now.

Lynn/Alex are going very slow and the motor is falling off as their boat fills with wather. They just want a new boat.

Uch/Joy searching for the boat. Greg/Brian find the boat and get the clue. They are on their way back to the dock.

Rob/Amber's boat is going really slow... Rob gives their captain, Carlos, his Red Sox hat.

Greg/Brian right behind and they are getting a taxi.

Lynn/Alex can get a new boat without a penalty but they do not get a time break for the unlucky situation. They get new boat and are off.

Ron/Kelly arrive at island and get the clue. They are on their way back to the docks.

Uch/Joy find the island instead of the shipwreck. They get the clue and go back to dock (uh-oh - will that be a penalty??).

Lynn/Alex finally find island and are on their way back now. In a taxi and on their way.

Uchen/Joy still looking for a taxi and finally get it.

Rob tells Amber that they just get lucky.

Greg/Brian say they should be jumping on the map first today.

Rob/Amber are team #1. They cheer and high five. They win a trip for 2 to London. Phil says people were doubting them and Amber says their strategy didn't hurt them at all. They kiss.

Brian/Greg are team #2. They high five and are happy to have moved up the ladder.

Ron/Kelly's taxi is going slow...

Lynn/Alex's driver stops at a gas station. They are not sure if they are out of gas or just lost.

Uchenna/Joyce are team #3. Their taxi made up the time for them.

Ron/Kelly are team #4. They are disappointed that someone beat them in...

Lynn/Alex arrive, they are team #5. They are also disappointed - they say they got the suckiest boat ever.

Other flight has landed and the teams are getting cabs now.

Looks like Sus/Pat are the last to get a taxi.

Ray says that they have two of the worst teams behind them and it would especially hurt to lose to one of these teams.

Mere/Gret get to the tower and are on the train just in time. It leaves in 3 minutes... Ray/Deanna manage to get the clue and make it on the clue on time.

Sus/Pat miss that train. Gret says they may have a one up for the first time. Pat is watching to see if anyone shows up - they are hoping they got there first.

Yep Maris, I wondered the same thing. I thought you had to stay with the task you picked at the beginning? But as I type that I seem to remember other teams giving up on one task to backtrack and do the other in past races??

I dont understand why Joy and Uch wouldnt get a penalty.

I agree! Why didn't they get penalty? What is up with this season? They're letting people get away with a lot.

Ray is getting on my last nerve. It's fine to be competitive, but does he has to be so hateful?

"Rob and Amber are like an STD..."

LOL! Classic!

I am so sick of Rob talking to the camera.

If I hear Ray make one more reference to how embarrasing it would be to lose to "those old people", I think I might have to kill him with my bare hands. It is only embarassing in his narrow mind. If you ask me, I'd much rather "lose to old people" than to look like a judgemental sore loser.

Sus/Pat pondering if that will put them two spots ahead. Pat says they feel so good about themselves because the others didn't make that train.

Meanwhile Gret is saying the same thing, that they are ahead now.

Ray/Deanna walking as Mere/Gret take a taxi. Sus/Pat arrive and Sus sees boats as they look for the docks.

Mere/Gret getting on the boat, taking the Island.

Mere/Gret see Pat/Sus arriving now. Ray/Deanna finally see the clue box. Pat/Sus doing Island, so are Ray/Deanna.

All looking at the map and looking for the island. Sus/Pat's boat is dying. They are dead in the water. Pat says that was the end of Pat/Susan.

Mere/Gret and Ray/Deanna looking for the island. Ray/Deanna find it and get the clue.

Mere/Gret find it but then they start to follow Ray/Deanna...only those guys already got the clue.

Sus/Pat in their boat, waiting on the replacement boat. They finally get going again and Sus tells Pat not to give up.

Mere/Gret are confused. They decide to turn around. Pat is not helping Susan at all. He says there is no inkling of hope at all.

Ray says he is not losing to a 70 year old man and his wife - even if it were checkers. Mere/Gret find the island and realize how they screwed up. They are off... they note that Ray was lying to them. They are looking for cab.

Sus/Pat find it and are off now. Pat says this is really stupid.

I have no idea what Mere/Gret are doing - they are asking a ticket guy for a cab??? They finally get one and are off as Sus/Pat arrive at dock. They get a cab right away and are off.

Ray/Deanna are team #6. Ray says he'll take it for now.

Mere/Gret and Sus/Pat on their way to the pit stop. Phil pointing to a couple arriving.

Mere/Gret are team #7. They are still in it... Mere says the most amazing thing is they are still upright.

Sus/Pat are the last team to arrive. They have been eliminated. Sus is crying. Phil asks why Pat thinks it is so important to her to stay in and Pat asks her to answer it. Sus says that it was just bad luck. Pat says he is more of a realist and it frustrates him to hear optimism that he doesn't think is real. He says maybe he needs to lighten up.

I really would have loved if Ray and Deanna had been eliminated this round. His comments were driving me nuts. They got themselves to the back of the pack so I'm not sure why he thinks they are so much better than everyone else.

WTF?

Why hasn't there been a non-elimination leg yet? Once again, I was so sure this would be one.

Is this season shorter? Are they saving the non-eliminations for later? What's going on?

I wish Ray would shut up.

Also, Gretchen needs to put a sock in it. That woman talks way too much.

Hmmm, does that mean we don't have an episode next week? He didn't say it would be next week, he just said, "On the next 2-hour special Amazing Race..."

Scorpio....I'll bet with the 2 hour ep next week, the first hour will be non-elim, then an elim.....

and Raen, my TV guide for next week (and tvguide.com) says it is 2 hours, and it's legs 5 and 6.

I have to say that I'm not sorry to see Patrick gone. It wouldn't have taken much for them to be right behind the others. He gave up too easily.

Thank YOU! ...

Ray and Deanna are still 5 hours behind (I think) of the first 5 teams...so they will have some serious catching up to do...it may just prove to be too much for them next week...(although Mer/Gretch are back there with them too....)

Scorp.. I also thought it would be non elimination but I'm fine with who went.. sheesh.. just wish the last three went in one fell swoop.

We could get a pair of socks and use one on Ray and one on Gretch..

on the Uchenna/Joyce detour switch....no penalty, because you are allowed to switch detours. But you have to go back to the detour box and announce you are going to do that, so you lose time there.

Thanks again Rae, fantastic job as always!

So glad Pat & Sus were eliminated. He should have taken more care to worry about themselves instead of Rob & Amber and not underestimated them!!!

So, Wilson, does that mean they should lose some time at the beginning of the next leg? They didn't go back and declare their intention to change tasks (that we saw, anyway).
