Teams started the tenth leg of The Amazing Race by flying to Hong Kong from Bangladesh. At the airport Brook and Claire confronted Jill and Thomas about U-Turning them. Though Thomas tries to pacify them with the good old "You were a threat" speech, Brook and Claire keep it classy and just shake hands and say "May the best team win." I am really liking their sportsmanship.

 

Everyone is on the same flight to Hong Kong and they must all get on a bus to a ferry to get to the clue box. Though Jill and Thomas are the only ones to catch the first bus from the airport everyone else catches up to them at the Ferry. That's everyone except Nick and Vicki due to Vicki's asthma slowing them down. Nick is not too happy about this and starts yelling at Vicki. Way to be supportive there bud.

 

When they get to the box the clue tells everyone to find a restaurant, which is the road block for this leg. At the restaurant, a team member must search through a massive buffet of food for 1 of 5 fake pieces of food. Natalie is first to start the search followed by Thomas then Claire, while a most animated Brooke hypes up the crowd

 

Nat and Kat finish the task first and are off to the detour. They must choose between riding in an old trolley in search of one specific sign among thousands throughout the city or they must choose to go on a boat, trying to deliver a pair of birds to a boat owner with the registration number matching that of the one on the bird cage. Nat and Kat choose the boat while Jill and Thomas choose the train but after no luck with the signs, Jill and Thomas decide to switch.

 

Meanwhile back at the restaurant Claire, who is supposed to be on a diet for a wedding, becomes the first person to throw up due to over eating. However after her mini detour to the toilet bowl, she soon finds the fake piece of food and it is complete pandemonium in the restaurant as the patrons and waiters jump for joy. This team just sparks happiness where ever they go.

 

Though Jill and Thomas find their boat owner before Nat and Kat, Nat and Kat find a cab to take them to the Pit Stop before the couple and become, once again, the first team to arrive at the Pit Stop. Brook and Claire also decide to do the boat task and after searching through the night final find their boat owner, becoming team number 3.

 

Vicki finally finds the fake piece of food and they are off to the dock to find the boat, however, Nick is not being a good team mate this week, surprise surprise, and he is not in the mood to search for the boat. Leaving Vicki to search on her own, Nick decides to quit and take a nap. I'm going to say it, As*****!!

 

In the end Vicki decides to quit thus taking a 6 hour penalty. When they get to the Pit Stop, Phil informs them that it is a non-elimination leg and that they are still in the race. Vicki is excited and for some unknown reason is still talking like if she is a part of a working team, saying things like "WE, didn't want to quit" Um...Vicki, Nick quit back in Oman. Tune in next week to see if Nick decides to stop being a baby and realize that thousands of people want to be in his place and that he needs to suck it up and be supportive to his teammate.
