The Amazing Race 19

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

We last left the teams of The Amazing Race at their overnight stay at Kumbali Village. Andy and Tommy once again lead the pack and head first to the town of Salima via bus. A Road Block waits for them there, where one team member must take a customer on a bike taxi to deliver fish. Before Amani and Marcus can get started, they have to complete a slide puzzle of the Malawi flag - their Speed Bump task after finishing last in the previous leg.

 

Laurence and Sandy work together but it's not exactly a strong, strategic move since neither knows where they're going. Cindy finishes first, followed by Andy and Cathi. When Jennifer finishes, she's confused about what to do next since she's lost her clue. Instead of going back to the starting point or to Justin, she stands around for a while looking lost then waits for other teams, who have actually all left. At this point, even Amani and Marcus have passed them so Jennifer is needs to take some initiative and quick!

 

Next up is a Detour, and this week's choices are Dugout or Lug Out. In Dugout, teams participate in a canoe race and in Lug Out, teams have to unload cargo (and people) from a ferry boat. Let's hope the only teams that choose Dugout are ones who actually know how to paddle so that they don't lose time... which brings me to Ernie and Cindy.

 

Inexperienced at canoeing and knowing a Double U-Turn is looming, they bail out of Dugout and use that Express Pass that they won in the first leg. For them, it's a smart move. The same can't be said for Jeremy and Sandy, who shout at each other the whole time in the water. Just go lift some heavy things. They're totally THAT couple that argues their way through the race.

 

Andy and Tommy finish the Road Block first and they'll need to continue staying at the top of the pack to avoid being targeted with a U-Turn. They choose not to send anyone back, and Ernie and Cindy did the same when they arrived. Speaking of the U-Turn, it's gotten a little upgrade. Instead of printed pictures of teams, are those iPads I detect?  Only Laurence and Zac try to use the U-Turn but put Amani and Marcus up, who are ahead of them.  

 

The pit stop takes teams to Sunbird Livingstonia Beach where it's a full on footrace for first place.  Cindy whines, "Can you let us win?" while Ernie complains, "That's so mean."  So you're telling me if the shoe was on the other foot, Cindy would've slowed down and let the boys take first?  I don't think so...

 

Andy and Tommy finish first and win $15,000.  That makes Ernie and Cindy the second team to arrive and the rest arrive in this order: Bill and Cathi, Amani and Marcus, Laurence and Zac, and Jeremy and Sandy.  Justin and Jennifer are the last team to arrive due to her earlier mistake at the Road Block.

 

 

The Amazing Race airs Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
