LAST EDITED ON 05-29-11 AT 06:00 PM (EST)Okay, we have a tie for the teams who will be U-Turned and the teams who would use it, so I'll break the tie:
At 2:45 pm, the plane arrives and all nine teams rush out of the airport and run towards the parking lot, where nine marked cars await them. Kisha & Jen are the first team out of customs, so they are the first team to leave the parking lot.
Jen: Okay, we're heading to Askari Monument.
Kisha: Good thing we got a map in São Paulo.
Nat & Kat are the next team to get a car and drive away.
Nat: We have a map, but let's ask directions as well.
Kat: Yeah, I don't want to find out we have a bad map!
Nat (confessional): In our last season, we had a bad map of Oman and were nearly eliminated.
Kat (confessional): Thus we learned that no matter what, we should always ask the locals.
We then see Tyler & James get into a marked car.
Tyler: You have a good map, James?
James: Yeah. Let's get going now.
Megan & Cheyne are the next team to get a car.
Megan: I'll look at the map.
Cheyne: And I'll be driving.
Tammy & Victor get into their marked car.
Tammy: We'd better get going.
Victor: I hope our map's good.
The next team out was Chris & Alex.
Chris: Got the map?
Alex: Oh yeah! Go!
Nick & Starr are the next team out.
Nick: We were in the back of the plane!
Starr: But at least we passed two teams.
They get in their car and drive away as TK & Rachel reach theirs.
TK: You got the map?
Rachel: Here it is!
Finally, Uchenna & Joyce are getting in their car.
Uchenna: We're last.
Joyce: And in trouble!
We see a montage of teams getting stuck in traffic and double-checking their maps (especially Nat & Kat), before we cut to Askari Monument. One team gets out and finds the clue box in front of the monument.
Nat: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach!"
Phil (voice-over): Teams must now drive themselves to Kigamboni Beach, also known as "South Beach". It's situated across the channel from the Zanzibar ferry and it's here that teams will find their next clue.
Kat: Let's get some directions, Natty.
As they're getting directions, the next team arrives.
Jen: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Kisha: We need some good directions.
They also get directions and follow the doctors. Soon the next team arrives.
Tyler: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
James: We're going to the beach! Yes!
As they're getting directions, the next team arrives.
Megan: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Cheyne: Let's get directions to there.
As they follow the models, we see the next team arrive.
Tammy: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Victor: Let's get locals to help us.
They do and leave as we see the next team arrive.
Chris: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Alex: Uh-oh! I see a team arriving!
As they get directions, we see the seventh team arrive.
Nick: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Starr: We're getting directions there.
They follow the lifelong friends as we see the next team arrive at the monument.
TK: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Rachel: We're getting directions.
Finally, the last team arrives.
Uchenna: "Now drive to Kigamboni Beach."
Joyce: I think I remember that place.
We then cut to Kigamboni Beach, where the first team finds the clue box.
Nat: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Phil: In this Detour, teams have to do two tasks related to local goods. The choice: Craft or Sarong. In Craft, teams will go to the Mwenge Carvers' Market and learn how to make a carving like the ones all through Tanzania. Then, they will make a specific carving. If they do so to the satisfaction of the artist, the vendor will give them their next clue. In Sarong, teams will head to Kariakoo market and learn how to make kangas, colorful, sarong-like pieces of cloth with Swahili sayings along the bottom. Then, they'll have to help make a kanga that will be sold to tourists. If they make a kanga to the satisfaction of the kanga-maker, the vendor will give them their next clue.
Kat: I think Sarong is best.
As they leave, the next team arrives.
Kisha: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Jen: I think we should do Craft.
They leave to go to the Mwenge Carvers' Market. We then see the next two teams arrive.
Tyler: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Megan: Which one would be best for us?
James: We're going to do Craft.
Cheyne: I think Craft would be the best.
They head out and are followed by the next team.
Tammy: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Victor: I think Sarong is best.
They head out to do Sarong. We then see the next two teams arrive at the beach.
Chris: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Nick: Which one can we do best?
Alex: Let's make some carvings!
Starr: Let's follow the two guys.
They head off to do the carvings. The next team arrives.
TK: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Rachel: I'd like to do Craft.
Finally, the last team arrives at the beach.
Uchenna: Detour! Craft or Sarong?
Joyce: I think Sarong's the best.
They head off as we cut to Kariakoo market, where Nat & Kat have just arrived. They get instructions from a local artist on how to make kangas as we cut to Mwenge Carvers' Market, where Kisha & Jen are learning how to make carvings. They are soon joined by Tyler & James and Megan & Cheyne, while Tammy & Victor join Nat & Kat at Kariakoo market. Nat & Kat begin working on a kanga as we see Kisha & Jen begin working on a carving. Tyler & James and Megan & Cheyne join the sisters while Tammy & Victor join the doctors. Chris & Alex, Nick & Starr and TK & Rachel join in on the carvings while Uchenna & Joyce join in on making kangas at the market.
As we cut between the various teams, we see that Nat & Kat are doing very well with the kangas, while Tyler & James and Megan & Cheyne are doing a little better than Kisha & Jen. Tammy & Victor are also doing well with the kangas, while Chris & Alex are doing great with the carvings. Nick & Starr are doing okay with the carvings, but TK & Rachel are struggling a bit and Uchenna & Joyce are doing well with the kangas. Finally, one team finishes their task and turns to have their work judeged. The vendor looks it over -- and hands a clue over to the happy doctors, who read it.
Nat: "Now drive to Azania Front Lutheran Church."
Phil (voice-over): Teams must now drive themselves to Azania Front Lutheran Church. It is here that teams will find their next clue.
Kat: "Caution: DOUBLE U-TURN AHEAD!" Let's go!
Phil: There are two Double U-Turns on the Amazing Race. Up to two teams can choose to use it to slow down another team. But teams can only use the U-Turn once, so they have to decide when it's most advantageous to go for it. If a team chooses to use the U-Turn, they put a photo of the team they want to U-Turn on the board, along with their own photo. The team that is hit with the U-Turn must go back and do the other task.
As the doctors leave, we cut to the carvers' market, where a second team has finished. The vendor gives the team their clue.
Tyler: We're going to a church.
James: "Caution: Double U-Turn!"
As the models leave, we see another team has finished doing a carving and is ready. They too get their clue.
Megan: "Now drive to Azania Front Lutheran Church."
Cheyne: There's a Double U-Turn ahead! Let's go!
They rush out as we see Kisha & Jen, Chris & Alex, Nick & Starr and TK & Rachel still working on the carvings. Suddenly one of them finishes and gets their next clue.
Jen: "Now drive to Azania Front Lutheran Church."
Kisha: "Caution: DOUBLE U-TURN!" Let's get moving!
They rush out as we cut back to the Kariakoo market, where a team is finished and receives their clue.
Victor: We're heading to a church.
Tammy: And there's a Double U-Turn!
They rush out as we cut back to the carvers' market, where a team is ready to have their work examined. Soon, they get their next clue.
Chris: A Double U-Turn?
Alex: We never had that!
They head off as we see another team finish and get their clue.
Nick: "Drive to Azania Front Lutheran Church."
Starr: We'd better get there before Chris & Alex!
As they leave, we cut to the Kariakoo market, where Uchenna & Joyce have finished their task and receive their clue.
Joyce: "Drive to Azania Front Lutheran Church."
Uchenna: We might have to use the U-Turn, Joyce.
As they leave, we cut back to the carvers' market, where TK & Rachel are finally done.
TK: "Drive to Azania Front Lutheran Church."
Rachel: "Caution: Double U-Turn ahead!"
They head out as we cut to the front of the church, where the first team finds the clue box and the U-Turn mat.
Nat: We choose not to U-Turn anyone.
Kat: "Drive to High Care Massage."
Phil (voice-over): Teams must now drive to High Care Massage, at the Slipaway. Here teams will find their next clue.
The doctors leave, and not long after the next team arrives.
Tyler: Should we U-Turn Megan & Cheyne?
James: Only if getting rid of the Express Pass is important enough for us.
Tyler: I don't think so. In that case, we choose not to U-Turn anyone either.
James: "Now drive to High Care Massage."
As they leave, Megan & Cheyne rush up and find out:
Cheyne: We haven't been U-Turned, Megan!
Megan: That wouldn't do anyone much good.
Cheyne: We choose not to U-Turn anyone.
Megan: "Now drive to High Care Massage."
They head out as well, and Kisha & Jen soon arrive.
Jen: We choose not to U-Turn anyone.
Kisha: "Drive to High Care Massage."
They drive off, and are followed by Tammy & Victor.
Tammy: We choose not to U-Turn anyone yet.
Victor: "Now drive to High Care Massage."
After they leave, we see Chris & Alex arrive.
Alex: Nick & Starr will be coming soon!
Chris: I know. We have to do this now.
Alex: We choose to U-Turn Nick & Starr.
Chris: "Now drive to High Care Massage."
As they leave, Nick & Starr come up, only to learn:
Nick: We got U-Turned!
Starr: By Chris & Alex!
*****************************************************************
Okay, Chris & Alex have U-Turned Nick & Starr and Nick & Starr will use the U-Turn on TK & Rachel. Now I want you to vote on which team will come in first and win an African safari. I'll take votes until tomorrow night and the team with the most votes will win the leg.
