Jaunted

Teams head to Beihai Street Mall to search the stores for a Travelocity Roaming Gnome, which will have their next clue inscribed on the bottom. Then, they head over to Gu Gong Xi Bei Jiao to find an electric bicycle, which they must ride past the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square to Dongdan Station in order to find the next clue. As per usual, Jaime and Cara are making friends in foreign countries by getting frustrated and belligerent.

DETOUR
Teams must choose between Beijing Opera or Chinese Waiter. In Opera, teams must make each other up as a princess and a gentleman at the Chinese Opera. When fully costumed, they must present themselves to the Opera Master to receive the next clue. In Chinese Waiter, teams must go to a restaurant and choose a table of hungry patrons. Customers give their orders in Mandarin. Teams must repeat the orders verbatim to the chef. Once correct, they will receive the next clue.

Tammy and Victor take the opportunity to use their Mandarin skills and head over to the restaurant. Within two tries, they have that Detour completed, and choose to U -Turn Kisha and Jen. The three remaining teams decide on going the makeup route, and head over to the Opera to get into costume. Once finished, all three teams have a tough time finding the next clue box, which is located on the grounds of the Beijing Opera. Jen and Kisha have to go back and complete Chinese Waiter as a part of the U-Turn, and lose precious time.

ROADBLOCK
At Dong Hua Men Yi Shi Market, the teams run into the Roadblock. In this challenge, one team member gets to chow down on some local street food: deep fried grasshoppers, larva, scorpions and starfish. Yum! Who doesn't love street meat? Tammy and Victor arrive first, and Victor takes the challenge. He's a trouper, and wolfs down the delicacies like a champ! Once finished, he and Tammy are headed to the next Pit Stop. Margie and Luke arrive in second, and Margie takes the plunge and does the gross eating. Jen and Kisha finish their extra challenge before the cheerleaders find the clue box, so Jen gets down to eating her big platter of fried critters, and washing it down with lots of water. Jaime and Cara show up and start plowing through. It's very close -- and everything is going to come down to a taxi ride to the Pit Stop.

THE PIT STOP
This week, it's Niao Chao, or the Bird's Nest, the centerpiece of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. They win a totally amazing trip for two to the Galapagos Islands. Margie and Luke come in second, and are guaranteed a spot in the final three. In an unbelievable race to the finish mat, Jaime and Cara and Kisha and Jen are in taxis racing across town. Jen decides she needs to pee, so she stops to do that once they reach the stadium. I hope it was worth it, because in the time it took Jen to tinkle, Jaime and Cara check in at the finish mat and land in third. Who stops to pee on The Amazing Race?!?! Who????

OUSTED
Jen and Kisha end their journey in a porta-potty in Beijing. We wish you had Depends, because you just pissed away a million dollars. Way to go, geniuses!

NEXT WEEK
It's a frantic and high stakes race to the finish line in Hawaii, where only one team will claim the top prize and win The Amazing Race.
