The doctors are in first and headed to Bandung, Indonesia this week on The Amazing Race! With no flight until the morning, all teams are on an even playing field which means any mistake can cost them the game. In the airport, Leo and Jamal confront Nicole and Travis about why they were U-Turned, and Travis explains how he doesn't like being lied to. They weren't in an alliance together, they didn't owe them anything, just say you're threatened by them!

 

First up for the teams is Ram Arena, where they must bring two rams to fight at a festival, then return them to their holding pen. After that, a train takes everyone back to Bandung, but both Amy and Jason and Tim and Marie miss their ride. That puts them an hour behind everyone else, who are moving on to the Detour.

 

The choices this week are For The Elephants or For The Birds. For The Elephants, the cooler task of the two, involves gathering fruit and then feeding an elephant. In For The Birds, teams hang a birdcage up then encourage their bird to sing before moving on. Ally and Ashley misread their clue and go to the zoo first, instead of the market to gather fruit. They lose so much time that the teams who missed their train have now passed them.

 

Nicole and Travis wisely chose the birds, finish in first, and arrive at the Roadblock where one team member must assemble an angklung, a traditional Indonesian instrument. Nicole struggles with putting it together so that it will play a perfect octave, giving

Leo the opportunity to pull ahead. He's not the only one to pass by Nicole either!

 

Teams arrive at Bosscha Observatory, the pit stop, in the following order:

 

1. Leo and Jamal (win $7500 each)
2. Tim and Marie
3. Jason and Amy
4. Nicole and Travis
5. Ally and Ashley

 

The Ice Princesses lost too much time running around the zoo and couldn't make it up and thus, we bid them farewell!

 

 

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