Amazing Race continues...

AMAZING RACE 2014 All Star Cast Version

The continuation of their journey to complete the Amazing Race:

From Guangzhou, China and at the Pit Stop it was Team Rachel and Brendon who arrived at the Pit Stop first and awarded a prize by the Host Phil Keoughan.

They received a clue once again that they have to depart from the Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, board a flight to Sabah, Borneo in Malaysia.

In Borneo: They have to retrieve the clue card again at the concrete stairs which is kind of familiar. I think it was once the "scene" of the previous Amazing Race episode but that was in Jakarta, Indonesia...I think. Anyway they proceeded to the waterfalls and retrieved the Travelocity gnome. one person from each team has to rock climb down the path through where the clue envelope is to be found. One by one they have to do that task to the waterfalls and let the water streamed down on their face. Oh yeah! that was exciting eh? The scene reminds me of the movie "The Mission."

From the Waterfalls they have to journey their way to the Kampung Tombung. They have to build a raft made from bamboo poles that they can use to travel and deliver goods (fruits, onions, etc. inside the box) to the village where the datu awaits their safe arrival. Or they can use the detour to travel by raft on the river and ask another tribe wearing bark of trees as clothes to help them use the "pipehitter" or "sumpit" to target the parrots. To build the bambbo raft they have to use nylon cords and they can tie the bamboo poles tightly and sturdy enough to stand the rough current of water. The water is calm and steady during the delivery of the goods to the village but to another tribe the path to that area is rough and rapid flow of water is a bit harsh that they get stuck to the curve or thrown overboard, and sometimes they have to fight for their lives. Weird eh?

The Pit Stop : The Chieftain and Phil Keoughan waited for them to arrive at Kota Kinabalu:

In order of arrival: 1. Dave and Connor are the winners of this leg of the race. They won a trip to Budapest, Hungary courtesy of Travelocity. 2. Jet and Cord, 3. Leo and Jamal 4. Margie and Luke 5 Flight Time and Big Easy 6. Jennifer and Caroline 7. Jessica and John 8. Brendon and Rachel 9. Joey and Meghan the last to arrive at the Pit Stop and were eliminated.
