The Amazing Race 20

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

Art and JJ start off the sixth leg of The Amazing Race by flying 2,000 miles from Bavaria to Azerbaijan, also known as the Land of Fire. Listening to Mark and Bopper try to pronounce the name is pretty amusing... and they also think it's in Africa. Dave gives us a geography lesson on the way to the airport - it's north of Iran and right on the Caspian Sea.

 

Once teams arrive in the city of Baku, they head to Temple Ateshgah, but must wait for sunrise for their next clue. All at once, they get a Fast Forward and Dave and Rachel and Joey and Danny go to fight for it. They'll need to unlock and stack 150 bales of hay in order to go straight to the pit stop.

 

The rest of the teams move on to Occupational Training International for a Road Block. One team member must go through a simulated helicopter crash in the water and escape. While they wait for their partners, Mark reveals to Nary that Bopper has a crush on Jamie. Aw, how cute!

 

Meanwhile, Dave and Rachel beat out the Jersey Boys and head right for the pit stop, at Esplanade Estakada. Instead of the typical vacation, they each win 2013 Ford Tauruses!

 

The water task would freak a lot of people out, but JJ, Jamie, and Bopper all finish quickly and take off for a carpet shop in Old Town Baku. The Detour there has teams choosing between Apple and Oil. In Apple, teams search an old Soviet car through one ton of apples and find one marked with a race flag. In Oil, teams have to clean up a person who literally bathed in oil. The only thing grosser than that is that Bopper keeps puking in the backseat of every taxi he gets into. The guy needs to handle his motion sickness better!

 

The oil task wasn't hard as much as it was weird.  Art and JJ make quick work of the task and arrive at the pit stop in second place.  Finishing up right after them are Mark and Bopper and Brendon and Rachel, who finish third and fourth.  Nary and Jamie find the apple they're searching for and finish fifth.  Vanessa and Ralph finish sixth but their cab driver takes off, which opens up an opportunity for Joey and Danny to stay in the race.  However, the couple manages to make their way to the pit stop first and the Jersey Boys are eliminated.  It's too bad, too.  They would've been serious contenders if they didn't make the mistake of taking on Dave and Rachel for the Fast Forward.

 


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