9th Pit Stop. Uch/Joy depart at 10:53 PM. Make your way to Sirkeci Train Station and find a room full of whirling dervishes (sp??) - they must pass through them to get the next clue. Joy says this race has drawn her and Uch together. They arrive at the station and are in the room now. Both amazed. They get the next clue. Fly to London, England. Over 2000 miles and find the zebra crossing (Abbey Road) made famous on a Beattles album. They get in the cab on the way to the airport and Uchenna remembers that it's Abbey Road. Gret/Mere get started. Happy to be in the final four. As they make their way to the train station, Uch/Joy arrive at the airport and looking for the best ticket. There is a flight at 8:30 AM and arriving at 10:30 AM. Now they realize that maybe they can find a connecting flight that will get them there earlier but Joyce doesn't want to worry about delays so they will stick with their direct flight. Gret/Mere make their way through the room and get the clue. They are off to the airport. 12:37 - Rob/Amber off to the train station. Rob having a little trouble pronouncing deverish (Amber had trouble too). Meanwhile, Gret/Mere are purchasing flights on the 8:30 AM flight. Ron/Kelly off now... Kelly isn't sure she can marry Ron - she doesn't know if she's the one for him. Ron and Kelly begging for money. They ask a bunch of drunks but get nothing. They move on to others now and slowly but surely getting some money. They finally get a taxi to the airport. Rob/Amber get the clue and off to the airport. Rob thinks maybe it's Abbey Road but he's not sure. Amber thinks he's probably right. Rob/Amber are on the 8:30 flight but now looking for a better flight. They find one that arrives an hour and a half earlier. That means they are on a waiting list for the second/connecting flight though and, if they don't get on it, they'll basically be out of the race. Ron/Kelly are done at the train station and manage to get a taxi to the airport despite having no money. They arrive at the airport. Mere gives Ron/Kelly some money and they thank them. Ron/Kelly asking about what flight to get on... Ron/Kelly off to Turkish Airlines. They get on the 8:30 Am flight. Kelly asks the ticket counter lady if she can borrow some of her lipstick. Kelly sees a flight to Frankfurt and now checking it. She's asking for standby tickets. They decide to take the risk. Rob/Amber and Ron/Kelly on the first flight out to Frankfurt. Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret realize they haven't seen the other two teams in a while. Frankfurt flight lands. Rob/Amber get on the shuttle with Ron/Kelly. Rob/Amber want to get to the counter first. Both racing for the counter now.

Love it that Amber is now on the same page with Rob on deceiving others. She told the clerk not to let anyone else use the comuter! I love these guys.

Frankfurt airport (awww, I've been there!) - Rob/Amber get on the flight. Ron/Kelly checking now... they make it on and they are so happy to be on it. Rob disappointed to see them get on the flight. Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret now on their way now too. Rob/Amber and Ron/Kelly arrive at 9AM. They get on Heathrow Express and get tickets to Paddington Station. Ron/Kelly asking a gentlemen about the zebra crossing and the fastest way to get there. They miss the Heathrow Express. Rob/Amber meet Stewart and he volunteers to take them to Abbey Road. Ron/Kelly get some money from the people in the station and get on the Express. Rob/Amber are buying tickets to St. Johnswood. They get tickets and are off. Ron/Kelly arrive on the next Express and off to get a taxi. Ron is happy to be in a country where people speak English. Rob/Amber hope to lure their guide to stay with them all day long. Clue: Make their way to London Eye and board one of the capsules and scan the city skyline for a TAR flag. Right below it will be their next clue. Ron/Kelly arrive and get clue. They are asking passerbys for best way to get there. They head off to train... Ron tells Kelly to pick up the pace. They board their train. Rob/Amber arrive at the Eye. They get tickets and board. It's foggy and Rob is worried it'll be hard to find the clue. Ron/Kelly arrive at the Eye. Kelly wants to look at the clue and they argue for a minute then Ron gives her the clue. Rob and Amber looking for the flag as Ron/Kelly board their capsule. Rob/Amber are worried that they should be able to see it by now... Rob sees it... Their guide knows how to get there. Ron/Kelly looking now.. Ron sees it. Rob/Amber get clue. DETOUR. Brains and Brawn. Brains - subway, solve a series of 3 riddles... which will take them to Baker's Street - home of Sherlocke Holmes and the next clue. Brawn... trainsport boats from lake to boatsmaster... sorry I missed how heavy they were. Rob/Amber are going to do the brains. They read the first clue and are off to solve the first clue. Rob/Amb get their left luggage and off to find the next clue. Ron/Kelly said they'd do the navigate one but not sure which one that is... Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret now arrive and getting tickets for the Express. They find out the other teams were there about 2 hours ago and realize they have to work hard today to catch up.

Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret are on the Express, encouraging each other to do well. They arrive and get a taxi to Abbey Road. Uch/Joy enjoying the sights as are Mere/Gret. Rob/Amber off to look for the 3 Naked Men (where their next clue will be). Ron/Kelly are doing the Brains too and are off to look for the 3 Naked Men of Hammersmith. They try asking people on the train. Rob/Amber arrive and get their clue. Have to use the magnifying class to read the clue. "All is not as it seems." Stewart, their guide, knows they need to go to Baker's Street. Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret off to the Eye. Ron/Kelly arrive at the 3 Naked Men and reading clue. Now asking passerbys what street they need to find. Rob/Amber are at Baker's Street... now must travel by foot to museum and return all belongings to Sherlocke. (Hahaha-- Amber was wearing them all! She looked cute.) They get the next clue... Yield ahead. They must make their way to Millenium Field. They want to be the first team there or they fear their picture will be on the YIELD mat. Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret on the Eye. Both of them find the flag. Rob/Amber say bye to their guide and are off. Ron/Kelly get to Sherlocke and get the next clue. They worry about the YIELD. Kelly wants to take a taxi so they can catch up. Uch/Joy get the next clue and decide to do Brawn. Mere/Gret are going to do Brawn as well. Both teams off to the Park. Rob/Amber are on the subway as Ron/Kelly are in a taxi. Rob/Amber arrive first and see the YIELD. Phil explains it again for us. (So nice of him... I had forgotten.) Rob/Amber discussing who to YIELD. They decide to YIELD Ron/Kelly. Rob says they are not going to be happy but, "Oh well." Roadblock. Drive Double-Decker bus through a marked course without hitting any cones. If they hit any they will have to have their course reset and start over... then must back it into a spot to get the next clue. Rob is driving.. he hits a cone and has to restart. Amber is a little anxious - she wants him to get through it a little quicker. Uch/Joy arrive at the boats and get to work. Must take the boat to the bandstand, 500 yards away. Mere/Gret arrive next and get to work as Gret notes that Uch/Joy are already there. Uch/Joy have 2 of 5 and they cheer on Mere/Gret as they head back. Mere/Gret knock their boat off and have to put it back on as Uch/Joy get to work on their 3rd. Meanwhile Rob is saying that the 4th time is the charm and he's right. He gets their clue. Make your way to the pit stop, 8 miles to Potters Field Park. 10th Pit Stop. They take off... they note that they were there for an hour and Ron/Kelly aren't there yet. Yep - the cab ride took an hour. Ron/Kelly have been yielded, they flip the hourglass and Ron says, "This is the nail in the coffin." Uch/Joy have one more to go as Mere/Gret have 2 of 5. Uch/Joy cheer on Mere/Gret and tell them that, "We'll get those guys." Uch tries to psuh one of their boats for Mere/Gret but gets reminded that no body can help. Uch tells Mere/Gret to stay firm - that they can do it. Uch/Joy head off but yell back encouragement to Mere/Gret. They are worried about the yield. Uch/Joy ask the taxi cab which is faster and the driver tells them the train is faster because of the bad traffic. They head off to the train station... as Mere/Gret do their last boat and get the clue. Gret says they are taking a cab. Mere says he hopes someone is having some trouble. Uch/Joy are waiting for a train and it zooms past them. They aren't sure why.

Thanks, Wilson, but I don't get how it could vary. I thought that it was always the same set amount of time, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.

Train passes Uch/Joy and they ask a passerby. He tells them they must take the underground. Uch is worried that cost them a lot of time. Mere/Gret note that the cab is taking a long time. Ron/Kelly at the Yield. Kelly is drawing devil horns on Rob/Amber's picture. They finally are done and can start their Roadblock. Ron says it would of been the best one roadblock for him but he wants to be able to do the next one so Kelly is doing it. Rob/Amber are team #1. They clap and kiss. They (of course!) win a home entertainment system. Uch/Joy arrive and see that Ron/Kelly were yield. Joyce is going to do the roadblock. Uch telling Joy about Kelly knocking over cones. Mere/Gret arrive and Mere is going to do it. Uche says it is anyone's game at this point. We see a bunch of scenes of the various teams telling each other how to miss the cones... it's very amusing. Each teammate is getting frustrated with each other. Kelly tells Ron to let her think for one minute and he says that it is like teaching women how to drive. Finally Kelly does it and gets the clue. Uch and Gret are worried... They head off as Kelly says that was very frustrated. They are looking for a taxi now. Ron kisses Kelly and tells her she did great and he's proud of her. Kelly says he's been mean about it the whole time. Ok... sorry I'm missing this convo but they are arguing about how Ron was acting while Kelly did the task. Ron wants to turn around so he can go back and drive the bus easily to prove his point. Joyce is doing good and Uch notes that she does better when he doesn't talk to her. Meanwhile Mere hits a cone. Gret yells that Uch/Joy did good as they get the clue and head off. Mere finally finishes as Gret covers her eyes... they get the clue and head off. Uch/Joy are getting on a bus but see a cab and get one. Mere/Gret get a cab too. Ron/Kelly are team #2. Kelly says it was frustrated and Ron agrees. Uch/Joy and Mere/Gret in cabs now... Both arriving at Pottersfield. They are both worrying about where they are going... to get to the mat. Uch/Joy are team #3. They are very relieved. They hug. Uch says that's what they wanted, not to come in last. Mere/Gret are the last to arrive. They've been eliminated. They hug and say it was a great ride. Phil has a big smile for them. Mere says Gret is an amazing woman and that she's the most beautiful woman in the world.

The last 3 teams all think they are going to win... Ron says he sees a lack of character in Rob/Amber and Joyce says that Ron/Kelly and Rob/Amber are so focused on each other that they will cancel each other out.
