My Nose Is
On Fire
November 9
Six teams set off from Cambodia to India,
as the players who started first... well, they ended first. Nick & Starr
are emerging as the team to beat as the road to the next Pit Stop gets a
little more precarious for Ken & Tina, as they will face a Speed Bump
tonight.
The Race continues from...
PIT STOP - Baha'i House; New Delhi, India
After 12 hours of catching up with
ourselves, Nick &
Starr, the first to arrive at 8:55p local time, are the first to head
off on their next great adventure at 8:55a with this...
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO DESHBANDHU APARTMENTS!
Make your way through the busy streets of
Delhi to Deshbandhu Apartments in Karkajee. Search for the
complex's central park, where you will find your next clue.
You have $21 for this leg of the Race. |
Nick & Starr have no shame in
telling people "what they need to hear".
Kelly & Christy are next out of the gate,
followed by Toni & Dallas, and Terence & Sarah, while Kelly & Christy
play "Would You Rather" with kissing either Dan or Andrew.
Speaking of, there they go. They say it's
important to keep Ken & Tina in the bottom (last to leave at 9:51,
almost an hour after the first team).
Nick & Starr find the apartments and this
clue.
ROADBLOCK |
WHO'S READY FOR A COLORFUL EXPERIENCE?
You're going to the Holi Festival!
Make your way to one of three ladders.
Through your path you will be pelted with powdered dye and
water in the festival's tradition.
Climb the ladder and search through
the marked envelopes to find one of six that read "The
Amazing Race" to obtain your next clue. |
Starr heads out to get
colorful... She calls it "insanity" as she's pelted with paint
as she's looking for the clue.
Meanwhile, Kelly & Christy's cabbie has
to stop for directions.
Nick & Starr find the next clue.
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE CHARITY BIRDS
HOSPITAL! Head into Old Delhi
and make your way to Charity Birds Hospital at Jain Mandir.
Search the birdcages for your next clue.
You are entering a Jain temple, and in
observance of their customs, you must take your shoes and
socks off before entering. |
Pay attention to that last bit.
It's relevant.
Toni & Dallas arrive at the festival. He
grabs the clue and they're back on the road.
Then comes Kelly & Christy... and Kelly
freaks. Yeah, look for a ladder, lady. This is a joyous occasion made
ugly by yet another ugly American. And you wonder why they were
divorced. Oh, did we mention that they thought they were just pulling
one envelope regardless of what's on it? Yeah, good luck, you two...
Morons.
Terence & Sarah are next... And Kelly
returns to the festival. And comes back with a crap envelope. AGAIN. So
just as Terence & Sarah leave, here comes Dandrew. ... and there goes
Dandrew.
Kelly & Christy still don't know how to
read a clue here. And after tripping and taking a hard fall, she says
that she is not doing it again. But sure enough, she heads out... and
Christy gets pelted herself.
She FINALLY finds one of the envelopes...
but now they have to find a cab.
Ken enters the festival.. Hope that
football experience comes in handy. Meanwhile, Tina plays ugly
American... AGAIN.
All the teams are now on their way to the
aviary. Thanks to Toni & Dallas, we know that this is where Ken & Tina
will have their Speed Bump. All the other teams get this...
DETOUR - BLEARY EYED or TEARY EYED? |
BLEARY EYED: Make your way to a street
corner to help with the Department of Power. From the street
level, keep track of numbered tags that sporadically appear.
Find the man with a sewing machine and give him the numbered
tags you found. If you are correct, he'll direct you to New
India Stationers, where you will plug in a musical Ganesha
to receive your next clue. TEARY
EYED: Make your way to a spice market and find Ram Bhandar.
Pick up two forty-pound bags of dried chilies and deliver
them on foot to Chawan Kumar & Sons. There, use a mortar and
pestle to grind approximately 35 ounces into chili powder to
fill a container to a designated line to receive your next
clue. |
Nick & Starr and Toni & Dallas get bleary
eyed, the latter team with a bunch of local kids. That's enough to put
tears in Toni's eyes of how proud she is of him.
Terence & Sarah are looking in the wrong
cage for the next clue. Once they find it, though, they get teary-eyed.
Kelly & Christy decide to scare people
from their cab. Ken & Tina get scared from this...
SPEED BUMP |
KEN & TINA:
Make your way to a Sikh temple and volunteer for a community
service, serving holy water to the patrons of the temple.
Once they have quenched the hundreds of thirsts outside the
temple and there are no more people desiring water, they can
continue with the Race. |
The Divorced Women's Club get bleary
eyed. Other teams aren't having that much luck. The two top teams decide
to look together.
Meanwhile, Dandrew are Ken & Tina are
stuck in traffic. Ken & Tina finally make their way to the Speed Bump
and begin serving water.
Terence & Sarah get their chilies to the
market, but now have to start grinding. Meanwhile, Ken & Tina have
quenched the thirst of Delhi and get this...
SPEED BUMP |
YOU HAVE GONE OVER YOUR SPEED BUMP!
Make your way back to Charity Birds
Hospital and continue with the Race. |
From the Speedbump, they come to a
grinding... halt. They decide to get out and clear a path.
And a special hello to everyone out there
who are tuning in for Cold Case.
The two front teams finish their lists
and head to the plug-in Ganeshas. Once they're plugged in, Toni & Dallas
are first to get...
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PIT STOP!
Make your way through the confusing
streets of New Delhi to the Pit Stop, Humayun's Tomb. Once
on the ground, search for Isa Khan's tomb.
WARNING! The last team to check-in MAY
BE ELIMINATED! |
So it's a Race for first.
Meanwhile, Terence & Sarah are burning
their noses off for a clue, while Dandrew & the Texas Exes are missing
number after numbers. Ken & Tina find the clue at the hospital and head
over to the power lines.
And the streets are not getting any less
crowded as Toni & Dallas make their way out of the traffic jam.
Dandrew reads numbers from places where
they shouldn't. Same with Kelly & Christy.
Front of the pack races to find the
designated tomb...
PIT STOP: Humayun's Tomb; New Delhi, India
... where Phil is waiting and the
designated local is tending ground, pausing only to welcome team #1....
NICK & STARR again! And they've won for their first place finish... a
trip to Kauai! They came to do their best... and they're in the front of
the pack. Right behind them... Toni & Dallas.
Ken & Tina decide against heavy lifting
and go heavy searching. While Dandrew wants to work with the Texas Exes,
they're having none of it. Again... Morons.
Terence & Sarah finish their grind job
and head to the tomb.
The other three... still in it. Kelly &
Christy... back out to search. Ken & Tina... find it!
Kelly & Christy and Dandrew finally
figure out what they're supposed to be looking for.
Terence & Sarah clock in at #3 as both
dunderheaded teams finally head to the Pit Stop after spending an
eternity at the market.
Ken & Tina overcome the Speed Bump to get
fourth place. They're really starting to gel.
Meanwhile, traffic is at a standstill
again.
But once they get going... it's a race to
the Pit Stop.... a race DANDREW wins. They're team #5.... Which means
for the Divorced Women's Club... they're the last to arrive...
... and the next team on the way home.
"Kelly and I are best friends and we will be forever."
All I have to say is... let this be a
lesson... Don't tempt karma in INDIA of all places.
