It's Not Chinese Food In China
Recap by Cari C.
February 2, 2005
Last week the wrestlers made a huge mistake by not reading the clue all the way thru and it cost them the game. Adam and Rebecca barely missed elimination. We head into tonight with four teams left. Will Adam and Rebecca be able to make it thru again or will Kendra and Freddy pay them back for yielding them earlier?
Last week Kris and Jon were the first to arrive at the Pit Stop at 11:59 am so they are the first to depart at 11:59 pm. Teams must now travel 4000 miles to the city of Shanghai, China. Once in the city they must make their way to the Yu Yuah gardens and search for the next clue. They will have $142 for this leg of the race.
Kris and Jon head towards the airport to buy tickets. The rest of the teams depart at the following times:
Hayden and Aaron: 12:04 am
Freddy and Kendra: 12:05 am
Adam and Rebecca: 12:06 am
All the teams head for the airport to join Kris and Jon in the search for the best tickets.
Kris and Jon arrive at the airport and find what looks to be the only flight to Shanghai that day. The flight departs at 7:45 am and arrives in Shanghai via Hong Kong. On the way to the airport, Rebecca gets excited about going to China.
Apparently she has wanted to go to China ever since she saw Madonna and Sean Penn in Shanghai Surprise. I was also glad to learn that if you eat Chinese food in China then it is not Chinese food, just regular food. The teams all board the plane on their way to make Rebecca's dreams come true.
Once in China, Hayden and Aaron decide to exchange their money while the other teams rush out to find taxis. It seems to be very hard to get a taxi in China. Kris chalks it up to the fact that they are in their country and they will just have to deal. The teams do find taxis and head for the gardens. Hayden and Aaron finally get their money exchanged and they head out about 20 minutes later.
The other teams get a bit lost trying to find the garden. Kendra and Freddy find a hotel and stop to get directions. Kris and Jon are right behind them so they stop too. Freddy is told it is only a few blocks away so they decide to walk it. Adam and Rebecca see the others and join them in their walk. I am not sure this was the best decision. The neighborhood where they are walking is a bit on the seedy side.
The group does eventually find the garden. They are joined by a frustrated Hayden and her whipping boy Aaron. As usual these two are fighting and Hayden of course is blaming it on Aaron. The teams discover that the garden does not open until 8:30 am so they all decide to head back to the hotel to try to get some sleep.
The next morning the teams arrive at the garden as it opens. Once inside the teams spread out to search the gardens. Everyone is looking everywhere for the clue box. Freddy and Kendra are the first to find it. Teams must now travel by taxi to YinCheng Road and search the area around Huaneung Union Tower for the next clue box.
The two head for the entrance as Kris and Jon find the clue box. Kendra and Freddy are excited because there is a Yield. Both of them want to Yield Adam and Rebecca as revenge for yielding them in Ethiopia. Before they can yield someone, they have to find a taxi. They can't seem to get a taxi to stop and the ones that are stopped refuse to take them anywhere. Kris and Jon soon join them in the taxi search.
Back in the garden Hayden and Aaron find the clue and join the others to try to hail a taxi. They are excited that there is a yield. They so want someone to use it. Adam and Rebecca finally find the clue box and soon all four teams are trying for taxis. Freddy and Kendra are the first to get one. Finally all the teams hail taxis, Adam and Rebecca are determined to get to the Yield first and stop Freddy and Kendra.
Unfortunately for them Freddy and Kendra arrive first. The two had thought about yielding Kris and Jon since the two of them are so strong. Their need for revenge however outweighs the need to slow down Kris and Jon. They decide to yield Adam and Rebecca and then get the next clue, which is a Road Block.
Teams must now go to the top of a 40-story tower and sit in a window washer's chair. They must lower themselves to the marked window and wash the window until they can read the message. They must then lower themselves to the bottom and tell the manager the message to receive the next clue. Kendra decides she must do this task so she heads up to the roof.
