Thailand to China. Tammy/Victor are absolutely in their element. The teams go to Guilin. Tam's been there on Spring Break. Hah!
The WeeMen are still being penalized. They depart a full four hours after Team No. 1. And they've got a Speed Bump to deal with.
Tensions flare between Kisha/Ken and Margie/Luke. Lots of pushing and shoving at the clue boxes. As I saw it, there was really blame on both teams' parts. But of course, neither sees it that way.
Roadblock task involves fishing with ducks (which is a heckuva lot harder than ducking fish!). Detour is either learn a dance or learn calligraphy. The cheerleaders dance, while everyone else paints -- er, trails behind Tammy/Vic as they speak Mandarin and breeze their way through.
The Boyz must also wash the hair of some little old ladies. Ew.
Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, and Margie/Luke all arrive at the mat within seconds of each other, and Margie blows her top. Kisha/Jen find it funny, and Marge goes even more ballistic, trying to liken the hardships that Luke has faced as a non-hearing person in a hearing world to Kisha/Jen's challenges as black people, which I find mildly racist at worst and a totally laughable logic at best.
Phil tries to mitigate. Tammy/Victor look like they'd rather be on Mars than in the middle of this screeching. And the cute couple who are seated at a table drinking tea and listening to a battle in a language they do not undestand merely smile and continue sipping. Hee.
Everyone eventually calms down, amid a bunch of game-on/gloves-off chatter.
The Boyz are last and sent home. 'Bout time. I wanted to like them in a Jon/Al CircusBros kind of way, but..... no.
