I'm
Like Ricky Bobby
October 18
Last time, the Racers landed in
Cambodia, where they had to monkey around to find their way. Zev & Justin were
the first to arrive at the Pit Stop, but when they realize that they don't have
their documents, they went from first to worst quickly, becoming the Race's next
casualty. Now eight teams remain.
PIT STOP
WAT PHNOM
PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA
1225 LOCAL TIME
After the customary waiting period, Sam &
Dan are the first to depart with this clue...
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
DUBAI!
Fly to the Persian Gulf and find
the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai, where you will find
your next clue.
You have $160 for this leg of the
Race. |
Flight Time & Big Easy decide to make a
detour to the internet cafe, where they can figure out where the world's
tallest building. Brian & Ericka... don't need no stinking internet
cafe. Ericka knows exactly where she's going.
The teams, one by one, figure out that
we're going to Dubai. Lance & Keri are the last to figure it out, and
the site to book tickets is slow as molasses, so they're heading to the
airport.
All of the teams are on the same flight,
via Bangkok, to Dubai, on the Persian Gulf.
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Now to look for the Burj Dubai, where
they will find a fountain that has a schedule, where the teams must sign
up for a time to go up to the roof of the building.
1st GROUP (5:30)
Maria & Tiffany
Brian & Ericka
Sam & Dan
Meghan & Cheyne
2nd GROUP (5:45)
Mika & Canaan
Lance & Keri
Flight Time & Big Easy
Gary & Matt
Did we mention that Mika didn't like
heights? Pay attention. This is relevant.
The next day, the teams make their way to
the Burj Dubai, where they find this clue...
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
THE DESERT!
Find the parking lot at the Dubai
Mall and take one of the marked cars to the scorching Dubai Desert
Conservation Reserve, where you'll ride 4x4 vehicles to your next
clue.
|
But that's not all, folks...
FAST FORWARD |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
THE DUBAI AUTODROME!
This is the only Fast Forward in
the entire Race. In order to claim it, make your way to the Dubai
Autodrome. Then racing in an F3 open car, one of you must complete a
lap in 45 seconds or less to receive your next clue. |
Meghan & Cheyne decide to go for it.
The other teams decide to head for the
desert... as soon as they can find their cars. Lance & Keri. Oh,
there're the cars.
Meghan & Cheyne find the autodrome, where
Cheyne takes the wheel. Can he beat the time before the others beat the
heat in the Persian Gulf desert?
Brian & Ericka are the first at the clue
box, standing like a pillar of hope in the desert.
ROADBLOCK |
WHO THINKS THEY CAN
BEAT THE DESERT HEAT?
Using a bag and camel, find water
in an urn in a desert. Once you have found enough water for a
thirsty Bedouin and his camels, he will give you your next clue. |
Brian, Tiffany, and Dan head into the
desert in search of water. Tiffany finds an urn... but it has no water.
Brian, though, strikes gold.
Back in the autodrome, Cheyne starts
racing. Final time... 40.62 seconds!
FAST FORWARD |
YOU HAVE CLAIMED
THE FAST FORWARD!
Congratulations on claiming the
Fast Forward! Now make your way via Maserati directly to the Pit
Stop, the amphitheatre at the Souk Madinat Jumeirah.
WARNING! The last team to check
in MAY BE ELIMINATED! |
Let's not forget the important
bit... They're in a Maserati.
Back in the desert, Brian's the
first to come back with water.
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY BACK
TO THE CITY!
Make your way back into the city
and find Ski Dubai, where you will find your next clue. |
Dan's ladle is broken, so Tiffany offers
up hers. Gary & Matt catch up with the rest of the pack.
Brian stops to tell Mika & Canaan where
the Roadblock is.
Back at said Roadblock, Maria & Tiffany
are heading out when their radiator busts and leaks all over the place.
Per Race rules, a replacement vehicle will be given to them, but they
will not be able to make up for this lost time.
Sam & Dan stay behind until Tiffany &
Maria's replacement car arrives. Which it does. So we're on our way.
Back in the city, Meghan & Cheyne are
about to head into...
PIT STOP
SOUK MADINAT JUMEIRAH
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
And Phil and the happy local are there to
welcome them as Team #1! As the winners of this leg, they'll be on their
way to Jamaica!
Back on the Race course, Lance & Keri
finally arrive at the Roadblock, and Lance goes out into the desert.
Meanwhile, Brian & Ericka miss the
interchange to Ski Dubai. Gary & Matt... don't.
DETOUR |
BUILD A SNOWMAN or
FIND A SNOWMAN?
BUILD A SNOWMAN: Carry enough
snow to build a snowman outside. If they can finish making a snowman
before the 130-degree heat turns it into melted slush, they'll
receive their next clue.
FIND A SNOWMAN: Take a chairlift
to the top of the mountain and sled down to mounds of snow. Then use
the sled to search the mounds for tiny toy snowmen. Give it to a
waiting polar bear to receive your next clue. |
Gary & Matt decide to find the snowman.
The rest of the leaders follow suit.
Meanwhile, Lance and Canaan are still
stick in the desert. Well, Lance is. Canaan finally leaves as Mike
drives 120... kilos an hour.
From camels to polar bears, the teams
arrive in Ski Dubai, where they're looking for snowmen. Brian & Ericka
are the first to find a snowman, and contrary to what the chyron says,
it's them who are in second place.
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
THE PIT STOP!
Drive yourselves through the city
to the Pit Stop, the amphitheatre at the Souk Madinat Jumeirah, in
Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
WARNING! The last team to check
in MAY BE ELIMINATED! |
Maria & Tiffany decide to build... as do
Gary & Matt. Meanwhile, Lance & Keri are... still lost.
PIT STOP
SOUK MADINAT JUMEIRAH
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Brian & Ericka arrive at the Pit Stop in
second, followed by Flight Time & Big Easy, who are the second to find a
snowman. Gary & Matt are the first to finish with their desert snowman,
taking 4th place. Sam & Dan finally find their snowmen and lock in 5th.
Maria & Tiffany are the second to build their snowman for 6th.
That leaves Mika & Canaan and Lance &
Keri. Who'll be the first to the mat? It was.... Mika & Canaan. That
leaves Lance & Keri as the last team to arrive and the next team to head
to Elimination Station.
