[Whimsy]

Quote

Teams travel more than 2,000 miles from Vietnam to India where they must balance traditional pots on their heads while performing a folk dance and assemble a life-size, three-dimensional mural.

But the first team left at 7:00 and the last team left at 7:38, so they were basically even to start.

[PaperTree]

Awesome palace!

[dizzyd]

Joel and Garrett are impressing me with their life experiences with the crepes and now sugarcane.

[dizzyd]

Good thing they’re not clay pots.

[PaperTree]

This RB is hard.  Yikes!  I have zero rhythm😎

[Browncoat]

I could probably get the choreography, but balancing those pots on my head would be so hard!

[Grizzly]

I can't balance myself, never mind putting pots on my head.

[Browncoat]

OMG, Maine.  ☹️

[dizzyd]

The Vietnamese hats say the out of Towners, lol

[Grizzly]

What's with all this negativity towards other teams? Just run your own race, don't worry about others.

[MerBearHou]

Anna Leigh — wowww — nice job.  That was hard.

John, as well.

It looks like they're putting the donut in an odd place on their heads, and so they're having to tilt their heads to keep it on.  Ashlie appeared to have hers more towards the front of her head.  I think it has a lot to do with donut placement.

[dizzyd]

Poor Corey! Hope they’re not eliminated 🫣

[hendersonrocks]

I need my favorite team to not lose because of balancing pots while at the same time there is a horrifying mass shooting unfolding in my favorite state. It’s hard to focus on the race.

ETA: Rob is amazing. To see him look supportive and chill and calm as Corey struggles is honestly incredibly moving.

[dizzyd]

😅 Corey!

[Browncoat]

Finally!  But see how he has the donut back on the crown of his head, while the women all have it more directly on the tops of their heads.

[Kleav]

I think on the last try, Corey had a bigger doughnut. 

[Ladybugnine]

Well, that Anne-Leigh's a bossy l'il thing, isn't she?

The perfect little princess has fangs.

All challenges today were pretty cool.

Interesting that the detour didn’t have enough stations for all teams forcing both options to be played. Has that happened before?

[Grizzly]

Happy everyone is admiring their surroundings and appreciating the wildlife.

I think so, with a similar kind of challenge, but I can't remember which season or what the challenge was.

[dizzyd]

I have stood in all those places, the amber palace with the decorated elephants, the steps and the pit stop exactly where Phil stood. Good memories 🥰

[Browncoat]

"Come on Dad" is the new "Twinnieeee!"

[EllenB]

The puppet dance portion looks like it wasn't judged as harshly as other tasks.

[dizzyd]

Yay Mcarthurs are safe! 😅

[Browncoat]

The mural judge is taking too much pleasure in saying, "No."  

[hendersonrocks]

Rob and Corey!!!!!!! I am relieved as hell, am not at all ready for them to go.

Thank goodness it's not a drinking game.

[PaperTree]

Anna Leigh is getting on my last nerve.

[Brynnjk]

So happy to see Rob and Corey finish the Doll task quickly.  I love the wonderful spirit they have.  But that balance detour was hard to watch.  

LOL Browncoat - it really is the new Twinnieee.  Hee!

 

[Grizzly]

I like Anna Leigh. I'll root for any daughter that has the good sense to run the Race with their dad. Wish I had thought to do that.

[chicagofan]

Bald Snark.

[dizzyd]

This is another reason why I absolutely love Phil! 🩷🩷🩷

[Browncoat]

I don't want to lose either team!  Why does it always come to this?

[MerBearHou]

That was fun with the teams on the mat telling the next team what place they had arrived.

[anniebird]

Andrea and Malaina always look like they're really struggling with every task and then they come in ahead of a bunch of other teams. I love their attitude!

 

[dizzyd]

Wow cliffhanger close finish! I liked Joe and Ian. ☹️

[MerBearHou]

I was really rooting for the reunited brothers — glad they made it.

[PaperTree]

Sorry to see the guys go.

[Grizzly]

I'd prefer Joe and Ian over Morgan and Lena to stay in.
