One team member lost their sneakers and is running in flip-flops, but were able to buy replacements.

And I am on time.

Fly to the Kingdom of Bahrain, a country the race has never visited before.

Pick up cars and drive to the capital city.

All teams are on the same flight.

They have a connecting flight and it looks like one team left their passports on the plane, and they are not let back on plane.

And the connecting flight plane take off without them.

Teams are racing in cars to the capitals.

Team without their passport are rushing to ambassador to try and get a fast replacement.

Teams must carry heavy timber and weight out 300 pounds to get the next clue.

Some teams carry the wood pieces and some drag them.

One team can not find the shipyard they need to go to.

Go to a candy shop and then sample a local sweet.

One team member says her team mate is a beast and you can tell from her smile that she likes him that way.

Now drive to a pottery location after finding the candy shop.

Asking for advice finding the candy store goes fast.

Traffic Jam!

Teams are getting lost, and the road signs are hard to read.

Team that lose passports got replacements, and then one team member promptly loses them again. Lucky the other team member has them.

Since there are hourly flights them hope to catch up to the other teams and considering how lost the other teams are them just might catch up.

It will take too long to learn to cast the type of pots, so instead they have to look in the pots the find matching items.

And they can only take one pot at a time to the inspector.

Warning, cute kitten gets in the way.

Note: Items to be matched have small details like colours that to be the same.

Team with new passports is flying.

All the searches have to be under a very hot sun too.

Clue, drive yourself to the Bahrain Endurance Village. Search for the next clue.

Team can not break pot with clue, they need to throw it harder.

Teams have to milk a camel. And the camel does not like it!

The team member doing the milking is just grabbing things, no wonder the camel does not like it.

Pit-stop is the "The Tree of Life" a 400 year old tree that is miles from a source of water but is still doing fine.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_Life,_Bahrain

Team number #1 wins $7500 dollars each.

Last team has arrived in Bahrain, and are now the last team to be eliminated as the sun has set and many of the places in the race have closed.

Now the remaining teams must fly to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Take local taxis to Royal Park Rajapruek and search for clues hidden in elephant statues.

Teams hustle to find the faster flights.

There does not seem to be any.

Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 02-14-18 at 11:09 PM
Teams are racing to the park. Some look at the views, some complain about bugs.

There are also problems talking to the taxi drivers.

Get a garland off an elephant and take to be accepted.

Measure rescues elephants or catch twenty frogs in a flooded rice paddy.

One team seems to be lost, I can't tell if they are at the wrong temple or if they are just searching the wrong end.

Taxi drivers seem to be very mixed up.

I hate taxi drivers who will not admit that they don;t know where racers want to go. They are just after the money even if they deliver people to the wrong location.

Bad taxi drivers have caused elimination quite a few times over the show.

I don't mind team members driving and getting lost, but expect taxi drivers to know where all the local features are.

And even with a language barrier, the racers have maps this time and the taxi drivers is still messing up.


"RE: Amazing Race 30 Feb. 14 2018"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 02-14-18 at 11:30 PM
There are problems measuring elephant feet because the elephant keep moving it's feet.

Other racers say the taxi drivers are not following the map.

Teams catching frogs find they big and slippy.

Team doing elephant has to climb on top for the final measurement.

Have to calculate the weight of an elephant.

But a baby elephant is trying to help.

Next you have to ride an elephant to the next clue.

Or Pit-Stop?

No, feed the elephant and get the next clue.

Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 02-14-18 at 11:50 PM
Eat cooked scorpions while live ones crawl over your partner, then eat frog. Then go to Pit-Stop at a Buddhist temple.


Another team one tells the other to eat fast.


"RE: Amazing Race 30 Feb. 14 2018"
Posted by Earl Colby Pottinger on 02-14-18 at 11:51 PM
Again - EAT FAST.

No running allowed on the temple ground, trip for two to Cozumel for 5 days.

Last team is still on their way.

Non-elimination, so next week will still be 4 teams.

If it's another 2 hour show, then that will be that.
