AHA, a conspiracy!! They bribed the cab driver and the police!!

LOL.. just kidding..

I bet the teams get nervous every time they have to depend on the luck of the cab driver draw.

So.. Joyce and Uchenna really were travelling without backpacks because they were taken away.. That resolves that question.

Uchenna & Joyce are the last team to arrive.

Non-elimination leg though. They give up all of their money and all of their possessions. In addition, they will not be receiving any money at the start of the next leg of the race.

Rob/Amber in third place. Rob says it would take a miracle for something to happen to the other teams for he and Amber to finish before them at this point.

Uch/Joy in front of Ron/Kelly. Ron/Kelly note that Uch/Joy's back left tire is looking flat. They hope they might have to stop.

Rob/Amber are now right behind the other two teams and Rob notes the same thing as Ron.

Uch/Joy's back tire is now flat and they stop to change it. Uch/Joy not looking happy.

Ron/Kelly and Rob/Amber now pull ahead. Rob and Amber looking much happier now. Ron/Kelly's driver say there is a top and bottom road to Montego Bay. Their driver is going to take the top road... hmm Rob/Amber have lost Ron/Kelly so they may have taken the bottom road?

Uch/Joy finally get going now. Ron/Kelly are now looking for the hotel as Rob/Amber are checking with people to see if they are going the right way. Uch/Joy say they just need to keep pushing.

Ron/Kelly get to Round Hill and now looking for cottage 16 with Uch/Joy behind them. They are all looking for #16. Rob says they may be able to catch them still - they ask someone for directions and he points them on their way.

Cottage 16: All teams running for it. We aren't being shown who is there first... and Ron/Kelly are team #1. They high five.

Phil calls Rob/Amber in and they are team #2. Rob says, "Woah! What a race."

Phil asks them who is going to win out of them...both teams are confident they are going to win.

Uch/Joy arrive and they are the last team to arrive but it is a non-elimination leg and they are still in the race but they now lose all their money and their possessions. They hand it all over - Phil notes that they had a lot of money.

They will start the next leg with $0.

Uch says the two things they haven't taken from them are their hearts and their minds and as long as they have those... they'll be fine.

Yes, but in spoilers we had long had a picture of Joyce and Uchenna travelling without backpacks, entering an airport. So there has been much speculation that they were victims of non-elimination last place but some people oopined that no, they just dumped the packs but still had their money.

Now we have confirmation that it was non-elimination.

Of course it isn't good to have to beg for money, but they may be better received in Jamaica than the other teams and travelling light this late in the race could be helpful if they end with a real close footrace.

Pics of Montego Bay. Phil reminds us it was our 11th pit stop.

Last leg is next... 3 way competition for 1 million dollars.

Ron/Kelly leave at 2:37 AM. Tavel by taxi 25 miles to city of Lucea and pick up onions.. sorry I missed how many, a lot. They must then go to a restuarant and chop them all up. Kelly crying about Ron not being the one (to the camera) - they are off to look for a taxi but having trouble finding one. Ron says this is not the time to worry about where they stand - this is about winning now. Ron tells the guard not to call the people behind him a taxi and the guard says, "Oh so you want to cheat on the race?"

Rob/Amber off now - looks like it's raining because Amber has a rain poncho on... Rob says Amber has been the most unbelievable partner anyone could ever have.

Ron/Kelly's taxi arrives and Rob/Amber ask their driver to send back a taxi for them...but as they drive off Ron/Kelly tell him NOT to tell any other taxis.

Uch/Joy starting out now. They are off to see if they can get some money. They are asking the guy behind the desk how far Lucea is so they can figure out how they can get there without any money. They are worried and not sure what to do (it's the middle of the night so there aren't a lot of people around). They decide they will go to the airport to see if they can get some money - they hope they can get a ride to the airport.

Rob/Amber get their taxi finally and are on their way as Uch/Joy ask an ambulance if they can get a ride to the airport but they are on standby so they can't.

Ron/Kelly's driver asking for directions now and Kelly says to please hurry.

Rob/Amber arrive at the Onion Shack and they grab their bag. Amber says to take the lightest bag and off they go...

Ron/Kelly ask the police for directions and finally they have some idea of where they are going.

Uch/Joy ask a driver if he can take them to the airport. They have to go there to beg for money.

Ron/Kelly arrive at the Onion Shack and grab their bag. Now they are off to the restuarant.

Uch/Joy at the airport now (must have been Christmas time as there are decorations up at the airport).

Rob/Amber arrive and have to chop... I think he said 50 onions? Rob and Amber working away now. Yep - 50. Rob says, "50 onions, this is going to take a while."

Ron/Kelly arrive and Rob says they are only about 10 onions in and now the great onion chopoff begins.

Kelly says she is not very good at chopping at all as Rob jokes that his mom used to stick him in the basement when he was a kid and make him chop onions.

Uch/Joy at the airport, begging people for money now. He says they have lost their luggage and money and he'll do whatever he can to get money but no one is helping them out now. Joyce starts to cry and Uchenna hugs her and tells her not to cry. He says they are in it to do it and all they can do is keep trying. He hugs her and tells her not to cry again.

Not as far as I can tell Julieboo. They just need fare for the taxi to go and get the onions and then take them back to the place where they need to cut them up. Of course, they would need fare for a taxi to get them to wherever after that I suppose.

So I'm not sure either why they're going to the airport first.

They are going to the airport to beg. They figure they can find more people to get money from.

Also: Not many people at the airport yet and that is part of them problem. Only a few people standing in line at... looked like American Airlines and all said no to giving them $$.
