On last weeks Amazing Race a colorful leg sent divorces Kelly and Christy packing. This week the remaining five teams (finally) leave New Delhi, India in hopes of reaching Kazakhstan…. very nice. Nick and Starr were, once again, the first out of the gate since they are “oh so amazing”. Toni and Dallas were not far behind but once they caught up the sparks began to fly. Dallas and Starr began to flirt once again and decided to work together, with their mom and bother, to gain seats on the first flight out. At the airport all the teams met up for some airport drama. Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas got the first flight out while Ken/Tina and Terrence/Sarah fought to also get on the flight. Although Ken and Tina left before Terrence and Sarah, they were able to gain the last seats and flew away in the first plane. Terrence and Sarah then got the last tickets on the second flight while Dan and Andrew left a few hours behind them.
After landing in Kazakhstan the three teams on the first flight rushed to the first location: a chicken factory. There they realized they couldn’t do anything until 7:30 in the morning, creating an equalizing and allowing Terrence/Sarah and Dan/Andrew to catch up. When the gates finally did open everyone rushed to the clue box. It was time for the rounds Road Block where one team member would have to search through several chickens looking for a golden egg. Inside the clue was also the last Fast Forward for the season. Both Terrence/Sarah and Nick/Starr rushed to bypass all tasks, meaning one would have to return to finish the rest of the leg. Inside the chicken coupe Toni was first to find an egg. She and Dallas then rushed to find a crane truck while Andrew and Tina found an egg. They ended up leaving around the same time and both were on their way to find a crane.

Since both Nick/Starr and Terrence/Sarah went for the Fast Forwarded they were battling against each other to obtain it. At the task they learned that in order to get the Fast Forwarded both team members would have to eat a large portion of fat from a sheep’s butt. Since Terrence is a vegetarian it was obvious who would win the Fast Forward as Terrence/Sarah headed back to the Road Block and giving Nick and Starr their fifth first place in a row. Oh how surprising. For the other four teams who actually have to work to complete the race, they were headed off to find Mongol Warriors. Dallas/Toni were first to find the warriors and gained their clue to their Detour from a flying eagle. As they walked back to their taxi Ken and Tina arrived. Dan and Andrew had even more trouble with their crane truck but eventually found directions from the “awful people of Kazakhstan”. While they were arguing at the Mongol Warrior hill Sarah found the golden egg and got them back on track after the Fast Forward.
Now that everyone had the egg found it was time for the Detour. All teams decided to act like fools and hike through Kazakstahn streets wearing a cow costume. Toni/Dallas and Ken/Tina ended up pretty equal on the Detour but after Dallas missed the milk kart Ken and Tina were able to catch up. Only problem was that they forgot that their clue was on their glass and it let Toni/Dallas pull ahead. The quickly found the meat market and that propelled them back into second place. Along the way they came around Ken and Tina who took off their cow costume. They didn’t realize it had to stay on during the rest of the leg so they had to go back, put on the cow costume and finish the Detour. Luckily it didn’t hurt them, other then time, as Ken/Tina were able to finish back in third place. That left the race for last between Terrence/Sarah and Dan/Andrew.
Andrew and Dan were ahead of Terrence and Sarah thanks to their Fast Forward mishap but their lack of direction, and clue reading, put Dan and Andrew back a bit. Not only did they forget their shoes where they put on their cow costume, they also couldn’t find anyone to help them location the milk stand. Once they did that they Dan and Andrew were back on track, for a little. They decided to take a taxi to the pit stop where their clue clearly said to walk. Phil then sent them back to the end of the Detour where the guys had to walk back to the mat. As both teams raced to the mat it seemed they were fairly even. Dan and Andrew argued, once again, during their trek back to Phil since Andrew couldn’t keep up with Dan. They both said they had to keep quiet during parts of the race and it seems their laughable nature is fading quickly. In the end Dan and Andrew were able to beat Terrence and Sarah out. Their going for the Fast Forward hurt them and although Phil teased them by pausing, they ended up being the next eliminated from the Amazing Race.
