Dumb Did Us In
April 11

Last week, the Racers flew to Malaysia, where Jet & Cord had a history-making run, overcoming a Speed Bump to take first place. Steve & Allie came up short, and were eliminated. That leaves us with four teams as the Race continues form Penang.

PIT STOP
PENANG, MALAYSIA
PINANG PERANAKAN MANSION
1002 LOCAL TIME

After their break, which was very well deserved, Jet & Cord head out with this...

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO SINGAPORE!

Make your way by bus and train to Singapore. Once there, make your way to Victoria Memorial Concert Hall and search for Allan Wu, the host of "The Amazing Race Asia", who will give you your next clue.

You have $190 for this leg of the Race.

During this leg, you will encounter a U-Turn.

One by one, the teams leave for the bus station. Jet & Cord are the first ones there and take the first bus to Kuala Lumpur. Carol & Brandy leave on the second. The rest of the teams leave on the third.

On the bus, they plot to "get the girls" on the U-Turn.

The next train to Singapore will leave at 9:30p. Everyone is on that train... a sleeper. Nice...

SINGAPORE

Brandy & Carol want to bully their way through... nothing doing.

All teams depart and head to the concert hall to see Allan. Louie & Michael are the first to head out. Carol & Brandy are... second. JorDan are third. Brent & Caite are fourth, and once again Jet & Cord are behind.

JorDan meet Allan Wu first, who hands them... THE ONLY FAST FORWARD ON THE RACE!

FAST FORWARD

FLY FOR A FAST FORWARD!

Make your way to the Singapore Flyer, where you'll ride your capsule to the top and, at 541 feet, exit your capsule and walk to the next capsule over. Once you have done that, you will receive your Fast Forward Award!

JorDan will play for the Fast Forward!

Meanwhile, all the other teams go inside the theatre... where Allan is NOT located. Louie & Michael AND Jet & Cord find Allan and this clue.

DETOUR

POUNDING THE DRUMS or POUNDING THE PAVEMENT?

POUNDING THE DRUMS: Learn and perform a children's drum routine to accompany the traditional Lion Dance. When you do, you will receive the next clue.

POUNDING THE PAVEMENT: Set up and use a traditional Ice Cream Uncle cart to sell 25 Singapore style ice cream sandwiches. When you do, you will receive the next clue.

CAUTION! U-TURN AHEAD!

Jet & Cord pound the drums... as do Louie & Michael. The other two teams follow suit.

The drum set is a bit complex.... so much that Jet & Cord can't follow the rhythm. Caite can follow the rhythm. This should be easy for them. The cops decide to do the Fast Forward.

Speaking of, JorDan have just discovered something... an intense fear of heights.

Louie & Michael also discover something... the Fast Forward in Progress sign.

Jordan begins his climb as Brent & Caite drum up a storm. Jet & Cord... don't.

Back at the Singapore Flyer, JorDan end up on a Wheel of Fortune.

FAST FORWARD

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE WON THE FAST FORWARD!

Make your way to the next Pit Stop, the Marina Barrage in Singapore! WARNING! The last team to check-in MAY BE ELIMINATED!

The cops start selling ice cream. Crazy American Ice Cream!

Jet & Cord get ready to start drumming... and stop to go back and practice. Brent & Caite... succeed!

ROUTE INFO

TIME TO FILL IN THE BLANK!

Make your way to Istana Park located on the corner of (the last Pit Stop City) and Orchard Road, where you will find your next clue.

(Correct: Penang)

Meanwhile...

PIT STOP
SINGAPORE
MARINA BARRAGE

Phil and the happy local greet JorDan as Team #1! They get a pair of motorbikes for winning... but they're not going to use them. Mom would kill'em.

Back at Louie & Michael's crazy ice cream cart... they sell multiples.

At the park, Brent & Caite discover a U-Turn... and in the king of all foregone conclusions...

U-TURN

Brent & Caite U-TURN Carol & Brandy!

NEXT CLUE!

ROUTE INFO

YOU'RE BEING PUT IN DRY DOCK!

Make your way to ASL Shipyards, where you will find your next clue.

Back at the Ice Cream cart, Louie & mike sell 10 to their cab driver! That gets them the ticket to the park. Brandy & Carol start drumming... Get their ticket to the park, where they find...

U-TURN

Brent & Caite U-TURN Carol & Brandy!

The other teams get...

U-TURN

WHO'S READY TO ADD SOME STRESS TO THEIR DAY?

Enter the hard hat area and count all the links in the chain. Once you come up with the correct answer, 521, you will receive your next clue.

Brent decides to count it up, and he soon realizes that the shipyard is very VERY noisy.

Brandy & Carol start the other half of the Detour, while Brent & Caite get...

ROUTE INFO

FIND MEGA-ZIP!

Make your way to Sentosa Island and find the Mega Zip, where you will find your next clue.

Jet & Cord head to the shipyards, while Carol & Brandy continue to sell ice cream. Louie & Michael break out the secret weapon: the pitch counter.

Carol & Brandy finish the Detour and head back on the course, while Brent & Caite find the Mega-Zip...

ROUTE INFO

ZIPPITY DOO DAH!

Take a 12-hundred foot ride along the zip-line! When you land, you will receive your next clue

Let's go for a ride, huh? Okay, let's get a clue...

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PIT STOP!

Make your way to the next Pit Stop, the Marina Barrage in Singapore! WARNING! The last team to check-in MAY BE ELIMINATED!

Michael & Louie forget their clipboard, while the other teams keep on counting. ... and now they can't find a cab.

Meanwhile, at the Pit Stop, Brent & Caite arrive as Team #2. Once the Cowboys zipline to the end, they end up taking the three-spot.

So it's a fight to avoid last place. Who's coming in for a hard landing? The lesbians want to be fast. The cops... "Drive it like you stole it."

And in the end.... MICHAEL & LOUIE....  are still in the Race! They're Team #4.

That leaves Carol & Brandy. The bad news... they're the last team to arrive. The even worse news... they're ELIMINATED. Hopefully they'll get over the drama and the stupidity and carry on, but for now, their Amazing Race will end in Singapore.

(C-NOTE: Due to the ACM Awards next week, the Amazing Race will resume in two weeks)
