broken giraffes and vcrs

The race around the world continues on this week’s The Amazing Race.


Gary & Matt, the father and son team, were the first to leave for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Once they made their way there, they needed to get find the golden water dragons for their next clue.

Okay, some of these teams are clueless! They thought they were already in Ho Chi Minh City. Um, if that were true then your clue wouldn’t tell you to make your way there!

The Globetrotters got to the dragons first. Once they retrieved their flag, they got a bullet with a stamp inside. The stamp was the clue of their next destination, the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office. After getting to the post office, they arrived at the first Pit Stop.

Haha, stupid Lance & Keri couldn’t figure out that their clue was inside the bullet!

The Pit Stop had them choose child’s play or word play. In child’s play, the teams would need to take a cement animal and carry it through a park and collect 5 balloons throughout the park. In Word Play, teams had to head to a sight deck of a hotel to look on a large roundabout and identify 6 Vietnamese characters on the moving vehicles. Once they got the right characters, they needed to get someone to unscramble the letters to spell out the Vietnamese word for independence.

Flight Time & Big Easy went with child’s play and were doing pretty good with it. It seemed to be the popular choice for all teams, except Marcy & Ron. They chose word play and did pretty well with it but they are just a little slow. Justin & Zev made the mistake of going with the giraffe, the tallest animal. Oh no! Their giraffe fell over and it broke! That meant they needed to pick up all the pieces in order to continue.

After the Pit Stop, teams had to head to Dien Co 008 for their next clue. Once there, it was time for a Road Block. The chosen team member would need to break down two VCR’s and separate them into two piles. The Globetrotters finished first, followed by the San Diego team! The crowd was just loving Tiffany since she was the only girl to take on the challenge.

The Reunification Palace was the site of their Pit Stop and it was a foot race to the mat. Flight Time & Big Easy just barely outran Meghan & Cheyne. Aww, and in the end, the newly dating couple Marcy & Ron came in last. They were certainly cute but just not nearly as fast as they needed to be for this race.
