tHe amazing race!!!episode 3...

hAhaha...back to back review...this 2 geek is so funny...hahaha...this episode review is from here...hahaha...

tHe nine remaining teams, fresh off Andie and Jenna's elimination, continued their excursion through Accra, Ghana, now heading toward the Ghanaian wilderness after leaving the Kaneshie Market. Michael and Kevin knew that they were physically inferior to most of the other teams except for maybe Gary and Mallory, but still wanted to experience what they could in the race. Nat and Kat knew never to give up despite their bad leg on the last leg. Nick and Vicki knew that with good communication, they'd do well. And Gary and Mallory wanted to try and climb out of last place.

kAtie and Rachel, Jill and Thomas, and Nat and Kat all got off to bad starts by immediately getting a bad driver. Nat and Kat's driver in particular refused to turn around when they found out he was going the wrong way. Eventually, though, they got on the right path.

tHe Roadblock saw one member of each team going to a boxing academy, choosing a trainer, learning how to wrap up their hands, dressing up in safety equipment, hitting a punching bag for a certain amount of time, and jumping rope for the right amount of time. Connor, Gary, Chad, Katie, Vicki, Brook, Thomas, Nat, and Kevin all took the task for their teams.

tHe teams then had to load wheelbarrows with construction supplies and deliver them to a school. They'd have to put brooms, shovels, concrete, and bricks in it. For the most part, every team did all right with this task except for Brook and Claire, Katie and Rachel, and Nick and Vicki.

tEams then had to take a pop quiz on African geography at the school. They'd just have to find Ghana on a map. It seemed that only Gary and Mallory and Nat and Kat could find it on their first try, while Connor and Jonathan, Chad and Stephanie, Katie and Rachel, Nick and Vicki, Brook and Claire, Jill and Thomas, Nat and Kat, and Michael and Kevin all needed multiple tries to find it.

tHe Detour was a choice between Bicycle Parts and Language Arts. Bicycle Parts saw teams using sticks to roll bicycle rims down uneven terrain, all the way across a field and then back without letting it fall. Language Arts involved choosing a proverb with eight highlighted African phrases with corresponding symbols on a decoder wall in the native visual alphabet, then finding them hidden in a wall map in the correct sequence. Gary and Mallory and Nick and Vicki were the only teams to initially choose Bicycle Parts and complete it. Connor and Jonathan were the only team to choose and complete Language Arts without switching. Chad and Stephanie, Katie and Rachel, Brook and Claire, Jill and Thomas, Nat and Kat, and Michael and Kevin all initially chose Language Arts, but switched to Bicycle Parts when they all couldn't find the decoder wall after finding the wall with the figures. To make matters worse for Michael, he got worn down by the heat and needed medical attention.

iN the end, Connor and Jonathan arrived at the Pit Stop first. They each won $5,000 as their prize. Gary and Mallory finished second. Chad and Stephanie checked in third. Katie and Rachel clocked in fourth. Nick and Vicki, in spite of their tumultuous leg, came in fifth. Brook and Claire were literally right behind them, landing in sixth, and they were told that they'd be helping the school with some renovations during the Pit Stop. Jill and Thomas, after their own tough leg, made it to the Pit Stop in seventh. This left things down to Nat and Kat and Michael and Kevin, the former of whom couldn't even find the right path to the Pit Stop. But despite having that sort of trouble, the doctors beat the father and son in the end, arriving in eighth. They received the same news as Brook and Claire. This left Michael and Kevin, by a large margin, to finish last. But . . . they weren't eliminated! It was the first of three predetermined non-elimination legs, and they were still in the race. However, they'd be tasked with completing a Speed Bump, a task only their team would have to perform, on the next leg. They thought they'd be more than up to it.

wHAt happen???arh...good luck on the next leg...
