Last week, the Racers continued their own Tour de
France, where champagne was the order of the day, from looking for it to pouring
it to stacking on top of it. Big Brother housemates Jeff & Jordan were evicted
from further play when they came to the Pit Stop last. Now the Race continues
with six.
PIT STOP
CHAMPAGNE-ARDENNE, FRANCE
L'ORRCA
0035 LOCAL TIME
Louie & Michael were the
first to arrive, so after 12 hours, they get going with this...
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
MAHE!
Fly to the island of Mahe in the
Seychelles! Upon landing, search on foot for the kiosk where you
will grab a number AND your next clue.
WARNING! Due to the remote
location of the island, all teams will take the same flight. |
It should be noted that the
correct pronunciation is "say-SHELL".
MAHE, SEYCHELLES
Brent & Caite are the first
off the plane. And the first to the kiosk. And the first to read this.
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
THE ISLAND OF LA DIGUE!
The first three teams will take a
helicopter to the Island of La Digue in the Seychelles! The second

clue.
FIRST COME FIRST SERVE! |
And here come the choppers!

Brent & Caite are the first

DETOUR |
TURTLE TODDLE or OX
TROT?
TURTLE TODDLE: Using only a
banana, lure a giant tortoise - over 100 years old and over 500
pounds - across the lawn to a marker, then grab a large bunch of
bananas, carry them a mile and a half to the harbor, and deliver
them to the fruit merchant to receive your next clue.
OX TROT: Bring a cart to a
clearing, where you must load it up with coconuts without losing any
cargo. Then the ox-handler will attach an ox to the cart. Deliver
the coconuts to the harbor, where the fruit merchant will give you
your next clue. |
Brent & Caite decide to do a
little ox-carting. Steve & Allie, on the other hand, go turtle baiting.
To music, no less! JorDan lands and heads to the oxen. Both leading
teams have no problem with their animals... but Brent & Caite lost a
coconut. Meanwhile, Steve & Allie get the quickest tortoise ever
created. A little too quick, as they forget their bags on the way to the
merchant.
JorDan have all their
coconuts lined in a row. Unfortunately their ox has to go BM before
going to the merchant.
Louie & Michael load up
coconuts. Carol & Brandy lure tortoises. Jet & Cord follow the cops.
Steve & Allie are first to
arrive at the harbor...
ROUTE INFO |
HIT THE WAVES!
Swim to one the marked schooners
and sail to St. Pierre Island, where the boatmaster will give you
your next clue. |
Dan & Jordan get the same
clue, but Brent & Caite... are De, wait for it... NIED. They forgot a
coconut. A little better than forgetting your backpack with all your
clothes. They have their money and passports, BUT they don't have their
clothes. That's fun. Meanwhile, Brent... up and quits.
And then he gets back on his
ox-cart and looks for a coconut. Back at the turtle toddle, Carol &
Brandy's tortoise has eaten his banana. Something wrong with that.
Steve & Allie get to the
buoy and get...
ROADBLOCK |
TIME TO TAKE A DEEP
BREATH!
Time to go diving for treasure.
Dive off the boat and find a submerged case of seven bottles, figure
out how to untie one of them, then bring one of the seven up to the
surface. Then with your teammate, work on a puzzle to find a map to
your most valued treasure... the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race.
WARNING! The last team to check in MAY BE ELIMINATED! |
Steve dives, while Carol &
Brandy lose their turtle. Steve comes up with the bottle as Jordan takes
a dive. And then comes back up. Then goes back down again.... and drops
the bottle. Smart, Jordan.
PIT STOP
PRASLIN, SEYCHELLES
Steve & Allie come in
first... They get an ocean-side dinner for now... and $7000 from 7up for
later! And a whole lot of 7up to drink. JorDan comes up right behind at
#2.
Louie & Michael head to the
waters, while the rest of the teams go ox-racin'. Only on the Race,
folks. Brent & Caite get a clue, while the Cowboys are forced to go back
and find a missing piece of cargo somewhere. No argue, just Cowboy Up
and go back.
Carol & Brandy... leave
without all of their coconuts.
(C-Note: A special hello to
everyone out there tuning in for "Undercover Boss")
Brent goes diving for
bottles. Mike follows suit, but his bottle breaks. Woops.
Jet & Cord find their
coconut and head to the water. In board shorts. Hard to picture a cowboy
in board shorts.
Did we mention that Louie
can't swim? Meanwhile, Jet & Cord get their bottle, Brandy & Carol go
for a ride, and the other two teams... are slow swimming to the shore.
Those two help each other out and get to the Pit Stop, Brent & Caite in
third, and Louie & Michael in fourth. And both teams want Carol & Brandy
gone. It's "anonymous" amongst the teams.
Jet & Cord forget their
bottle on the ship. Lot of people forgetting things this leg. They are
the fifth to arrive, but they need that bottle! That allows Brandy &
Carol to sneak in and snatch the 5 spot.
Jet & Cord get the bottle,
but they're the last team to arrive... The GOOD news is that they're
still in the Race. The BAD news is that they're going to run into a
Speed Bump in the next leg. Can they make up for lost time? Stay tuned..
