Their last place departure left them in last the entire time in The Amazing Race 27 Episode 10, and Denise & James Earl were eliminated.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.
First: Justin & Diana – 7:40AM
Second: Kelsey & Joey – 7:47AM
Third: Tiffany & Krista – 8:50AM
Fourth: Logan & Chris – 8:54AM
Teams must now fly to Hong Kong. Good news for the trailing teams this time because the flight equalizes everybody. They go from tuk tuk to Rolls Royce. Then they take the wrong ferry.
The detour is a choice between Sam’s or cells. In Sam’s, teams must make suits. In cells, teams must search through hundreds of cell phones to find one that works.
Sam’s: Tiffany & Krista, Kelsey & Joey, Logan & Chris
Cells: Justin & Diana
Searching tasks are usually pretty dreadful, but they also have a likelihood of dumb luck. In this case, Justin & Diana get lucky, but then their cab driver gets lost. They eventually find out that the half hour or so ride was to a destination that was within very close walking distance.
The road block requires teams to join a water show and jump from a mast, then find something underwater.
Road block (in order of arrival): Kelsey, Krista, Logan, Diana
This elaborate but seemingly simple task does not seem to bode well for Justin & Diana. The catch is that anyone who fails must do it again, which is the case with Krista. Then she fails again, putting both herself and Diana in the same show. It’s Diana who finishes first, as Krista stays behind to try again.
The pit stop for this leg of the race is Nam Van Lake, home to Macau’s dragon boat race.
It’s not over here. Justin & Diana’s ferry mistake means a 30 minute penalty plus an additional 25 minutes because that ferry is closer than the one they were supposed to take. That should give Krista 1 or 2 more times to try again.
First: Logan & Chris (win a trip to Peru)
Second: Kelsey & Joey
Third: Justin & Diana
Eliminated: Tiffany & Krista
After all that drama at the challenge, they seemed to still have a chance, but then Tiffany & Krista got lost in a cab. The right team survived considering their performance so far. I could do without Logan & Chris, though.
