TAR

This week they started in Phuket where they had to ride an elephant, search the water for a clue and then had to take apart and then reassemble a spirit house. Most teams took notes on how to put the spirit house together, but some didn't and had to go back. They then had to go to the Bus Station and get a bus to Bangkok. It seems the Phuket taxi service has a scam going on where the drivers raise their price and pretend not to speak English so a third party has to get involved and translate. It happened twice in the one show (to the Twins and Ernie and Cindy.) The Twins had to do an extra challenge because they came in last the week before: they had to clean-up after an elephant and then wash it - which they seemed to love.
The teams then had to take a 13 hour bus to Bangkok. The Father/Son team got on a 1st class bus (although it looked exactly like the cheaper bus except it made less stops) and got off because they thought they couldn't take 1st class transportation - apparently that only applies to airplanes. I don't like the father on that team. He is always messing up and blaming his son.
The teams made it to Bangkok where they had to feed some fish and then make it to the Pit Stop. Andy and Tommy asked for directions at a school and a teacher took their clue and then went to teach her class. That was so funny. She didn't seem to care about anything/ If you are going to help then help and if not say so. I would have gone off had it been me.
In the end Armani and Marcus came in first and the Twins (who managed to get two free taxi rides since they had no money) came in last and were sent home. Next week they go to Africa.
