The Amazing Race - Tea, Tea and More Tea!

Last week, we're greeted with China, a Double U-Turn and a Prehistoric puzzle that sent Jaime and Cara packing all the way back home. Based from the previews last week, we would be treated with a huge Luke meltdown and boy they did not disappoint.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Did I say they were going to Calcutta? Or should I say Kolkata? I swear, I don't even know why they changed the spelling of that city because its the same. Somebody enlighten me or something because I'm clueless. Anyway, after a tea tasting ceremony in China (which is funny because almost every team said, 'Ugh, we're staying in China'),

Teams are all bunched up again on the flight to Kolkata. Another funny thing is that all of the teams run out of the airport like crazy,

Run like there's no tomorrow!

Only to be shocked by the number of people waiting outside of the airport.

Surprise!

And mind you, this is at 1 in the morning. Why there are so many people at that time, I would never know. Maybe they heard that The Amazing Race is in town. Whatever the reason is, even I find it bizarre but to each his own I guess.

And yet another funny moment (and this is in the first 20 minutes or so of the episode), several of the teams arrive at the Town Hall and it opens at 10AM. Gary and Mallory arrive next and they all tell Mallory that there's a sign-up sheet and that they have to run. And lo and behold, Mallory does run.

Lost and confused.

Got to love Mallory. After that, its race mode now. And the inevitable Roadblock. Teams have to find the one tea that they tasted back in China which was an infusion of mango and papaya. Mind you there are a thousand tea cups.

Teas of Doom

Its not much of a random luck since if you do remember the taste or smell or color of the tea then you're good to go. But somehow some people did get by with luck like Kisha and Kent. And after several teams leaving, we're back to where we started and that is Luke breaking down. They were there for almost half of the episode so you'll know that they're going to be so dead.

Oh, another funny thing in this episode (hurray for funnies) is the bottle clue. Jen and Kisha, I love them, were actually asking people where they make Snapple.

Make Snapple?

Lol. And they even got on a taxi when somebody said a random place. And when this guy tried to open their bottle, they all go, 'no, no, we can't open that'. And that's when Kisha had the idea that maybe, just maybe, their destination is actually there.

No, no, you can't open that.

Maybe the clue is in the cap.

Shut the f*ck up!

Ah yes, the hilarious comedic value of Kisha and Jen. Got to love them. The Detour was pretty straight forward with either painting a statue or delivering books somewhere. And one thing I learned from the episode is that the Cowboys cannot count.

Jet & Cord, Ron & Chris and Zev & Justin are 2nd, 3rd and 4th

Oh lookie, Kent and Vyxsin here's as well!

The amazing Jet & Cord will tell you what team you are.

4th. LOL.

And this is like a minute after they were just proclaimed 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Apparently, counting is now done 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6. Poor number 5. Haha.

And yes, Margie and Luke did arrive last and we are treated to one final Luke meltdown.

I know its wrong to laugh but I never really liked Luke. Its sad to see him break down like this but at the same time I can't help but snicker. Am I awful? Lol.

Anyway, TWO WEEKS until the next episode. Argh, can't wait!
