The Amazing Race 13 - Fast Forward Failure

Once again, Nick and Starr are the first team to head out for the next destination, Almaty, Kazakhstan.

While everyone has their eye on Nick and Starr, Dallas and Toni are flying under the radar.

The first teams to arrive in Kazakhstan, Ken and Tina, Starr and Nick and Toni and Dallas will have to search the grounds of a chicken factory for the next clue. But they’ll have to wait until morning when the factory opens, which gave Terrence and Sarah and Dan and Andrew time to catch up. It was a foot race to the clue box.

The road block will take one player into a chicken coop where they’ll have to find one of seven golden eggs. There is also a fast forward available. Teams will have to participate in a feast, slurping up servings of sheep fat in a traditional soup. Ewww. Nick and Starr and Terrence and Sarah decided to race for the face forward while Toni, Andrew and Tina got up close and personal with thousands of chickens.

Toni found the first golden egg.

Terence is a vegetarian so he is repulsed when he sees the slabs of meat. What did he think they were going to serve? Éclairs? Terence and Sarah gave up and were back to square one. Nick and Starr finished up the fast forward and were back to first place.

At the roadblock, teams must choose a task, either Play Like Mad or Act Like Bulls, for the roadblock. Play like mad will have players learning a musical instrument and then playing for tips. Act like Bulls will have teams dressed in a cow outfit, searching for a milk stand and then delivering themselves to the butcher. That’s twisted.

Dallas and Toni had a great time as a cow, mooing and wagging all the way. They were having so much fun, they overshot the milk stand. Tina drank the milk but missed the clue on the bottom of the glass. She and Ken wandered off when Toni and Dallas came back. Dallas drank the milk and got the clue to go to the meat market. Finally Tina and Ken found their clue but then they decided to return to the costume shop and take off their costume before they went to the meat market. They’re just in too big of a hurry and messing up. They made it all the way to the butcher before they realized their mistake. Back in the cow outfit, they presented themselves to the butcher and earned a clue.

Andrew and Dan weren’t having nearly as much fun, frustrated with language barriers and getting lost. They received their clue, but didn’t read it carefully enough. They took a cab to the pit stop and they were supposed to make their way on foot. They had to go back to the bazaar and walk back to the pit stop.

But even with everyone retracing their steps, Terence and Sarah were still the last team to arrive and were eliminated. It just goes to prove, being a vegetarian is bad for you. Meat is gooood.
