The Amazing Race 14 is down to the final leg and tonight either Margie/Luke, Tammy/Victor or Cara/Jaime will win the one million dollar prize. Leaving from China, finally, the teams headed out for Hawaii. Tammy and Victor were off first and were told to go to their final destination: Maui. They learned that the first flight was the next morning, meaning all three teams would catch up and it was any one’s game in Hawaii. In Hawaii it was all about finding a certain beach and Margie/Luke fell behind rather quickly. She wanted their driver to speed, and for once he told her it was illegal too. At the beach the teams would then have to season and move a roasted pig to a luau. Tammy/Victor were there first followed right behind by Cara/Jaime. Both were carrying their pigs when Luke/Margie arrived but quickly got things done and were also carrying their pig across the beach.
During this portion of the task Tammy and the girls were having issues with the pig. This allowed Margie/Luke to pass both teams and finish the task in first, while Jaime/Cara struggled thanks to Cara continually dropping the stick. Jaime freaked out on her like she was a foreign taxi driver, showing she’s not racist. She just can’t keep her mouth shut. Tammy and Victor finally made it to the luau followed by Jaime and Cara. Margie/Luke finished their pig while the other teams arrived and were off on a ski jet to find a clue among 100 buoys. It was probably meant to equalize the teams but could prove helpful considering how far ahead Margie/Luke seem to be. At the ski-jets Margie was off to find the buoy, there she and Luke had a bit of a scream since he kept yelling “Mama” which we learned is annoying her lately. Apparently it annoyed her so much that she dumped both of them off the jet, sending them into the water and allowing the other two teams to catch up.

Last week’s Amazing Race left us with a cliffhanger as Kisha/Jen struggled at the Detour and Phil handed Cara/Jaime their clue to continue the leg. They weren’t too happy but were forced to stay in Beijing, China and battle it out for their final three spot. Jaime/Cara weren’t as upset as I thought but Margie/Luke weren’t enjoying the continuation. They were frustrated that they had to stay on the road and Margie was just overall crabby. After arriving at their location from Phil, Jaime/Cara had to search for the Travelocity Roaming Gnome. Oh product placement. Margie and Luke arrived next, also on the hunt while Tammy/Victor received their clue from Phil. I bet they were happy to stay in China! Jen/Kisha were probably the most happy out of the four teams, considering they weren’t going home. Jen couldn’t believe it, but they were just lucky they didn’t have to put up with a speed bump!
Now with all four teams looking for the gnome it was going to decide how they move on. Margie/Luke found the first and were told to move on and find an electric bicycle. Jaime/Cara found theirs next, keeping the two pal teams rather close in the end. After Tammy/Victor and Jen/Kisha found their gnomes it was off to the Forbidden City, which only Tammy/Victor knew about. They were able to arrive their first and found their bikes, which took them awhile to realize it was electric. Margie/Luke arrived next followed by Jen/Kisha, putting Jaime/Cara in last after coming in fake first. After finding the clue, Tammy and Victor were told to do their next Detour. Either Opera, where they had to be a princess and gentleman or Waiter where they had to recite orders in Mandarin. Seems like Tammy/Victor will have the advantage considering they already speak Mandarin.

After one hell of a fight on the last episode of The Amazing Race, it was time to see how it would affect the remainder of the legs. Being that we are down to the Final Four teams there aren’t many left to follow but the drama is still there. Since Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor and Margie/Luke checked into China within seconds of each other, they all left around the same time. They remained in China, this time heading to Beijing to get a foot massage. On the way to the airport Kisha/Jen claimed to be over the fight while Tammy/Victor were at the advantage being that they were at the Beijing Olympics and could continue to speak the language. That didn’t get them in first last time though, so it may not be as great as they think. Off third was Luke/Margie who said they would never talk to Kisha/Jen again while Cara/Jaime just wanted to come in first place for the first time.
Beating out the rest, Margie/Luke arrived at the airport first followed by Kisha/Jen who were in traffic. Kisha/Jen then went all Jaime on the airport people, complaining about the non-speaking workers. There was then more tensions as Margie/Luke learned they couldn’t use their card at that counter, Jen and Kisha moved on and jumped into first. Margie didn’t like that too much, but then Kisha/Jen had the same feeling when Tammy/Victor began asking for better seats in Chinese. They got the point though and began asking for that themselves. Maybe they do speak Chinese after all! Cara/Jaime then arrived and made everyone equal, well on the plane at least. As Kisha/Jen walked off on their own the other three teams talked in the lounge. Margie began discussing how Kisha laughed at Luke, once again making everything seem worse then it was.

The last Amazing Race featured a non-elimination leg after the stupidest team in history: Mark and Mike, once again broke the rules and endured a four hour penalty. There is little hope they’ll stay around for the next episode but if they do then hey, maybe I’ll take back calling them stupid. After finishing first yet again, Margie and Luke were off first. Heading from Bangkok, Thailand to Guilin, China. There they had to find a hair salon for their next clue. Luke was glad to stay in a non-English country as to be equal with the rest, but it still seems there are some English speakers. They were able to get a rather early flight where they hoped they would be the only ones. Jaime/Cara were on their tails though as were Tammy/Victor. They were glad to be going to China as they are Chinese and Tammy was actually there, giving them a leg up.
In the end Margie/Luke were off alone while Jaime/Cara and Victor/Tammy flew together. That left Jen/Kisha and Mark/Mike still in Thailand but thanks to their delay the two guys were alone. It seems this is an old school episode with airport drama, but I guess one out of how many so far isn’t that bad. At the connection to Guilin, China it seemed the flight was delayed which allowed all teams besides Mark/Mike to catch up. Jen/Kisha were able to pass the others thanks to a delay, allowing them to go from almost out to first. In China the sisters arrived before the others but Tammy/Victor hoped to use their language to their advantage. In the morning the teams were off to find their hair salon and Kisha/Jen wasted time by asking for directions. That allowed many teams pass them with Jaime/Cara arriving first. They were then told to find their next clue at #24 bridge, sending them on yet another wild goose chase in China.

After a week off The Amazing Race returns with the final five teams still in Thailand, this time Bangkok. Tammy and Victor were out first and remembered going from first to last in leg three, could they have some deja vu this time around? The reds were out next and once again one of them freaked out about the language issue. They didn’t think their taxi was real and flipped out on a taxi who told them it was. At the airport Tammy/Victor found out they can’t make reservations until the morning, allowing everyone to catch up of course. This episode already has a ton of flashbacks in the first five minutes, first Tammy/Victor now the fainting scene from Margie. When morning approached it was time for all five teams to get the same flight to Bangkok, where Margie/Luke leaped into first. Jen/Kisha passed them in the taxi, making for more taxi drama as their taxi didn’t know where to go. While Kisha/Jen’s taxi kept going, Margie/Luke’s stopped for directions. Kisha realized what happened with Margie/Luke giving wrong directions, showing just how manipulative the pair can be.
The rest of the teams also had some taxi drama as they were either too slow or not passing people. Margie/Luke then laded at the boat yard first where they found a Road Block. They had to select one teammate to attack a propeller to a boat for their next clue. Margie chose to do it as did Jaime, I think. Margie had an easy time putting the propeller on while crazy Jaime freaked out that the propeller didn’t understand her English. With her propeller on, Margie/Luke had to lead the driver to a clue box marked on a map. Tammy/Victor and Mark/Mike arrived next with Victor and one of the brothers taking the task. Jaime was still doing the task when the teams arrived but finished just in time to not scream at them. Kisha and Jen arrived following the Jaime/Cara run to the taxi, leaving three teams at the boat dock.

Last week’s Amazing Race 14 saw a close call at the mat as Christie and Jodi almost came back from their U-Turn, but in the end went home. Tonight the remaining teams leave India to head to Thailand, promising to kick up the heat and almost knock out Margie. Tammy and Victor were first to learn they were heading to Thailand and were given only a picture to find their next clue. Tammy was there before so it could help them but it seems she was being held by her parents, so maybe not. Mel/Mike were also excited for the Thailand and wanted to just have “fun”. As the rest of the teams left the mat Margie was excited, she’ll be dreading that excitement a little later. Before leaving India there was still time for culture as Kisha let little kids rip money from her hands. IT was very surreal to see but things quickly changed to airport drama.
Everyone ended up on the same flight, equalizing them out as they traveled to Phuket, Thailand. At their arrival it was time for a taxi race to the monkey statue, their only clue to their next location. Mike/Mel left several minutes after the rest, as they had bad luck with a taxi, but it seems others weren’t having much. Nobody really had a clue where they were going so they went to the street shouting out “gorilla”. Once one found out where it was the rest followed except for Mike/Mel. They kept driving while the rest headed to the Phuket Zoo. Guys you are going to the wrong spot!
