They
Don't Even Understand Their Own Language!
May 2
For the first time ever, teams faced two
Roadblocks in one leg. Jet & Cord came out on top. Louie & Michael came
out on the end, but were spared elimination. Tonight, though, one team
won't be so lucky, as we race toward the million dollar final.

MAKE YOUR WAY TO
THE GARDEN BRIDGE!
Make your way across town to the
Garden Bridge, or as it's known in Chinese, Waibadu Qiao. The clue
is halfway across.
You have some cash for this leg
of the Race. |
No one knows it by the
English name, as Jet & Cord discover.
Meanwhile, Brent & Caite head out on
their way. They find someone who knows where the Garden Bridge is, so they
quietly slip into the lead.
JorDan get going toward the Garden
Bridge.
Brent & Caite are the first to pick
up this...

MAKE YOUR WAY TO
LONGHUA TEMPLE!
Make your way across town to the
Longhua Temple and search for Arhat Hall, where you will find your
next clue. You may NOT travel by taxi.
|
The best way to get to the
temple is by train.
It's been two hours since the leg
began for JorDan, and they have yet to find the bridge. They decide to hang out
with Mike & Louie (who leave at 11a) until they could find the bridge.
Meanwhile, Brent & Caite find the
temple and this...

ROADBLOCK |
|
WHO THINKS THEY CAN
SUM UP THE BUDDHA?
Inside the hall, one teammate
must count all the golden Buddha statues. If you come up with the
right number, 523, you will receive your next clue. If you miss, you
have to wait ten minutes before submitting another guess. |
Caite can be counted on...
though it gets a mite crazy at a moment. She comes up with 520... UNDER.
It's taking the other teams a while
to get to the temple... While it's taking the brothers and the cops a while just
to get out of the thumb of the Pit Stop.
Caite tries 522... UNDER.
Jet & Cord get to the subway, while
the other teams finally figure out that they're headed to Waibadu Bridge. They
go in separate taxis, which give the cops a lead over the brothers... which gets
the brothers a bit riled.
Will Caite be third time lucky? 524?
OVER.
Jet & Cord find the temple. But they
can't find the clue box.
Back to Caite. Still counting.
Meanwhile, Jet starts counting. And the other two teams finally make it to the
bridge.
Jet has a guess... 523. BINGO! And
Caite's soon after.

motorcycles and ride to the Yuyuan Gardens, where you will find your
next clue. |
Meanwhile, the cops and
JorDan take a train to the temple. The other two teams are left at... a
shopping arcade. They find...
|
DETOUR |
|
PORK CHOPS or PORK
DUMPLINGS?
PORK CHOPS: Enter an art stone
store and look through several hundred special stone stamps called
chops for the two that have a pig on the bottom and one of each of
their names in order to receive their clue from the shop owner.
PORK DUMPLINGS: Travel to
Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant and deliver 10 orders of xiaolongbao
across the market. Once done with the deliveries, you will receive
your next clue.

The Cowboys go with Pork
Chops. The Dating Models.... also go with Pork Chops. Brent has to go to
the bathroom, which drives him crazy.
At the temple, Louie & Michael
get...

SPEED BUMP |
|
LOUIE & MICHAEL!
In a good luck ritual, you must
both successfully toss a coin into an incense burner. Once you have
done that, you will be able to continue on the Race course. |
Meanwhile, Dan is going to
sum up the Buddha. As for the cops... you thought Supercoin was
tough. They do finish, though, as Louie goes counting.
Back at the art stone store,
Brent... finally goes to the bathroom.
JorDan get the right number and head
on the motorcycle. Dan takes the sidecar, while Jordan rides bitch. True term.
Jet finds his stamp. Caite finds...
Cord's. Brent finds his.
The cops get on their bikes and head
to the market. Drive it like you stole it. Meanwhile, both leading teams
complete the Detour and get to...
