The teams have to fly to Perth Australia .  Fran & Barry left $20 on the Hippies’ car to help them since they won’t have any money on this leg.  Monica really kicks up her snatch-factor this episode & says she will be happy when the Hippies are gone cuz they said they would Yield “The MoJo”.  She & Jo leave no money for them.  Yolanda & Ray leave $10.  Yolanda said she is sorry that MoJo are not nice people.  Eric & Jeremy leave something, but it is an IOU for $100.  These guys are charmers all right.  One says they are now going to lie, cheat & steal like they do when the try to get into a girl’s pants.  I hope this means he will never get into another pair again.  Loser.

BJ & Tyler pick up a hitchhiker & take him with them to the airport.  All the other teams get on a flight & it is about to leave.  The editing shows us BJ & Tyler stopping for gas.  Their karma pays off & their hitchhiker pays for that & some candy.  & the Hippies were still able to get on the same flight as everyone else.  I tell ya.  Carmen Electra is a boomerang.

MoJo was pissed that the Hippies made it.  Jo says he hates them.  Suck it up b*tches.  The teams have to get to Kings Park & to the State War Memorial.  BJ & Tyler made $300 on the flight, that is more than the other teams were given for this leg.  Then they have to go to a Ferry Station & go to an island.  The ferry doesn’t leave till 7:30am.  Ray & Yolanda and BJ & Tyler took a bus while the other teams had cabs.  The cab people were at their hostel for the night when the bus people showed up at the ferry. 

Once they got to the island they had to ride a tandom bank up a winding road to a lighthouse.  Fran & Barry like to bike for long distances so they did well on this.  Ray & Yolanda had a hard time when she was in front so they switched & it was easier.

Detour.  For ‘Sand’ they had to use 40 large branches to drag the sand dune.  For ‘Sea’ they have to dive down in the ocean looking through a bunch of traps to each grab one crayfish.  Mo is still b*tching about the hippies & called them sleazy.    Eric & Jeremy chose sea while the hippies chose sand.  MoJo got lost on their bike & argued w/ each other & had to turn around.  Fran & Barry chose sand.

Eric & Jeremy finish first & now have to head back to the Mainland & then go to the prison where they will have to search it’s tunnels.  MoJo chose sea.  The hippies tell us they don’t like MoJo either.  MoJo mess up their task & only get 1 crayfish.  Then Mo freaks out & is too scared to grab hers.  She eventually does it.

Eric & Jeremy get on the ferry back & BJ & Tyler miss it.  So they take another one going to another stop & decide they will just take a cab the rest of the way.  Fran & Barry call to arrange for a cab to pick them up while they wait for their ferry.  Jo does the same while riding the ferry.  Then he tells Barry that he is grabbing whatever cab he sees first even if it is the one reserved for Barry.  He & Mo deserve each other.  They luck out & their cab was there & Fran & Barry’s didn’t show so they have to take a bus.

Roadblock.  They have to search the prison cells for a flashlight & then find the tunnels to search for the clue.  Jeremy decides to do it.  He has a really hard time & they lose a lot of their lead.  Tyler offered to work with Jo to find the flashlights but Jo ignored him.  Jo found it first.  Yolanda & Fran each do this task too.  Jeremy finished as Jo was starting the cavern part.

Eric & Jeremy get to head to the Pit Stop at a breakwater.  They decide they will steal MoJo’s cab w/ all their stuff in it but the driver says the place is close enough they can walk.  I don’t know if they guy lied or Jo got done that quick but it ended up being a footrace between the 2 & the boys got 1st & won a trip to Hong Kong .  So MoJo got 2nd.  Dang.  The 2 jerkiest teams!

Tyler works that Karma again & helps Yolanda find the cavern & then he is able to find the clue before her.  He & Tyler take 3rd.  Ray & Yolanda were 4th.  So Fran & Barry were last & were Philiminated.  They gushed about each other.  Barry said she is unique & special.  She has learned to live everyday to its fullest since her breast cancer.

5/3:  They had to find the Bells Tower & left in this order:

Eric & Jeremy – 11:47pm

Joseph & Monica – 11:48

BJ & Tyler – 11:56

Ray & Yolanda – 12:28am

Monica says she wouldn’t be this vindictive out of the Race.  She & Joseph worked with Eric & Jeremy.  BJ & Tyler say that “TTOW: means power of the universe.  When the teams get to the first stop they are equalized as it doesn’t open until 8am.  They look for a place to stay the night & Monica asks the driver if he knows a cheap place & he says she could stay with him for free.  BJ & Tyler notice there is some kind of flirting going on between Eric & Monica & say they should use that.

Eric & Jeremy call to get a taxi to wait for them while they get the clue.  They leave a fake name.  Then Eric calls & cancels both Ray & Yolanda’s and BJ & Tyler’s cabs & says they are stupid for giving their real name.  The clue says they have to fly to Darwin & then take a car to a crocodile farm.  BJ & Tyler run & get in a cab but Joseph was right there & asked what was the name & it was his so he told them to get out & they did.  Karma is a b!tch cuz Eric & Jeremy’s cab never showed up.  Ray calls the cab company to ask about his cab & was told someone cancelled it.  They assume since MoJo were the only ones to get a cab that they were the ones to play dirty & Eric & Jeremy don’t correct the assumption.  Eric & Jeremy were the last ones to get a cab.

MoJo get to the airport first & when trying to get the quickest tickets & being rude to the agent he asked what is it worth.  They said a million dollars.  He said what is it worth to him.  They offer a kiss from Monica.  BJ & Tyler get there & say the rumor is that they cancelled all their cabs.  Joseph just ignores them.  Then BJ & Tyler bring up how Eric & Monica are flirting.  All teams were equalized again & on the same flight.

The crocodile farm didn’t open until 9am.  Eric jokes with BJ & Tyler that his plan is to put meat around Joseph’s neck so he is eaten by a croc so he can get Monica.  They had to walk through a croc pit to get their clue & then head to an Airfield.  Caution.  Yield ahead.  It is the last one on the Race.

BJ & Tyler still don’t drive aggressively & MoJo pass them.  Then it is a footrace & the buys beat them & Yield MoJo.  Monica spent the whole time whining about it & saying it isn’t fair.  Joseph kept telling her to shut up & act like a grown up.

Roadblock.  One person would have to fly up 12,000 feet & then tandem skydive down.  BJ, Ray & Eric do it.  Jeremy flirted with Yolanda while they waited.  After that they had to head to a National Park & the magnetic termite mounds.  As the Hippies pass MoJo on their way out, Joseph says if he wasn’t in the race he would beat them down.  Idiot.  You don’t think the guy has any right to Yield you when they think you played dirty & cancelled their cab?  Mo goes back to whining & the 2 argue & don’t even realize the sand is done & they can go.  Once they do, Mo does the task.

Detour.  For Wet they have to go 1 course through the river.  For Dry they have to find the Lost City & then find guys playing didgeridoos after selecting 1 for themselves & then find the guy that has the matching one.  They have to each learn & play a note before moving on.  BJ & Tyler and Eric & Jeremy do Wet & the other 2 choose Dry.  Ray & Yolanda finished first & get to head to the Pit Stop at a lake.  MoJo get there as they are leaving.  We see MoJo finishing their task before the guys. 

Ray & Yolanda finally finish 1st & won a year’s lease for each of them for a Mercedes M Class.  Ray was emotional about the win.

Eric & Jeremy stop for directions.  Tyler asks them for them & of course they won’t tell him anything.  While they are stopped, up comes MoJo.  So now the 3 teams are all together.  MoJo were behind the Hippies & Joseph continually flips them off.  Mo whines that she doesn’t know if she can beat the Hippies in a race.  & she was almost right.  The hippies wouldn’t have beat her if BJ hadn’t tried to cut down & hill & through water instead of going in a straight line.  So Eric & Jeremy got 2nd & whiners MoJo get 3rd.

BJ & Tyler were last but this is another non-elimination round.  So they lose everything again.  BJ didn’t even have shoes on.  Mo whines that her team isn’t playing mindgames, spread rumors & not being nasty.  B!tch please.  She just screams nasty.

5/10:  The teams have to head to Bangkok , then take a taxi to then get on a bus to find the clue at a pagoda.  They leave in this order:

Ray & Yolanda 1:13am

Eric & Jeremy 1:20

Joseph & Monica 1:21

BJ & Tyler 1:22

Yolanda left a pair of her pants for BJ since he doesn’t have any pants or shoes.  The other teams were also given $310 for the leg while the Hippies have none.  I was shocked that Jeremy left a pair of flip flops for him too.  Of course MoJo leaves nothing & Monica whines that the Hippies are playing mind games.  Honey.  You don’t seem all that bright so I am sure everything is a mind game to you.  MoJo pass Eric & Jeremy in the cab.  BJ got some clothes at the Lost & Found. 

At the Airport Monica b*tches at Eric & Jeremy for helping the Hippies at all.  BJ & Tyler make the mistake of begging for money before booking a flight so all the other teams got on the same one & then it was booked by the time they tried.  They eventually got on one that was scheduled to get in 15 minutes before the other one.

The other teams land first but they werent selling tickets yet so they have to wait.  MoJo went to a hotel.  BJ & Tyler were able to get on a bus first.  MoJo were on the last one.  The monkey place didn’t open until 8am.  Eric & Jeremy fed the monkeys Pringles while they waited.  When they were finally able to get their clue there was an envelope they had to bring to the Pit Stop along with a Fast Forward.  For that they had to taxi to a restaurant & take part in an afterschool favorite.  It was a huge bucket of stir-fried crickets & grasshoppers.  If they didn’t go for that, it was a Roadblock to prepare a monkey feast.  Eric & Jeremy already had a FF so they had to do that.  Eric did it. 

BJ & Tyler got to the Fast Forward first.  Ray & Yolanda also went for it.  She tells them she is from the South so she can eat anything fried.  But once she saw how much it was, she & Ray decided to head back to the Roadblock.

Joseph was also doing the Roadblock by the time Yolanda started it.  It was a blast to watch.  As they tried to set up all this fruit some monkeys would steal some & wreck it.  Eric got done first & they had to head to a ferry & then go to an island & a Buddha garden.

BJ & Tyler really struggle eating the bugs & puke occasionally.  BJ finished first & then Tyler finally finished & they get to head to the Pit Stop & finished this leg in first.  Phil opened their envelope & if they had a golden gnome they would get a trip.  Nope.

Joseph finished the Roadblock.  Eric & Jeremy got to the Detour.  For “Move It” they have to go to a pottery factory & move 72 clay pots on a board to a boat through town.  For “Altar It” they have to go to a temple & make a shrine to Buddha.  Eric & Jeremy chose Altar.

MoJo couldn’t find the clue & went to the temple first.  After finding it they chose to do Move it.  Ray & Yolanda chose the Altar.  On their first trip, Joseph broke some pots.   They only had 46 of the 72 pots & had to make another trip.  This time Monica was breaking them.  She broke a lot more than Joseph.  She cries.  They had 65 that trip & had to go back again.  Joseph did it himself the last trip.

Eric & Jeremy got done first & couldn’t find a cab.  Ray & Yolanda got done next.  Eric & Jeremy finally got a cab & finished 2nd.  Ray & Yolanda get there but Yolanda was told she had to cover her arms before she can come in.  They got 3rd & had the gold gnome so win a cruise in Sydney & tonight they get to sta at a hotel & go online & check out their prize.

MoJo came in last & were eliminated.  Monica cried but said they were tears of joy.  She had the best time.  Joseph said she is his rock & is proud of her.  She kept him composed.  He said they will definitely be married one day & have a family

5/17:  They leave in this order:

BJ & Tyler – 11:18pm

Eric & Jeremy – 1:21am

Ray & Yolanda – 1:28am

They have to take a taxi to get their Sidekick clue from an elephant.  BJ tells us they really thought they would slaughter everyone in the Race but have made the same mistakes.  When they get to the elephant place, it doesn’t open until 4am.  Once they have that clue they have to fly to Tokyo & go to their version ofTimes Square & is the busiest intersection in the world.  They then have to find one of the big TV screens that has their clue on it.  Tyler was so happy cuz he is fluent in Japanese & his has a girlfriend that is Japanese.  He feels at home there.

Eric & Jeremy & Ray & Yolanda all get on the same flight out but it is booked when BJ & Tyler get there.  They finally find a flight that is an hour & a half later.  Ray & Yolanda again have trouble figuring out directions & the language barrier was big for them here.  Eric & Jeremy found the clue first.  They had to find Hachiko, a statue.  They ask people & they are pointed to the statue & I thought it was funny cuz they never noticed the statue & neither did the following teams.  They all thought the guy wearing the Harry Potter looking scarf that had their clue was Hachiko. 

Detour.  For ‘Maiden’ they have to take a taxi 7 miles to a tea garden & then transport a maiden by carrying her while she sits in the box thing 1/3 mile.  For ‘Messenger’ they have to go 200 yards & get a folding bike & put it together & then deliver 2 packages at 2 different buildings.  Eric & Jeremy of course chose the Maiden.  BJ & Tyler chose Messenger.  Ray & Yolanda also chose Maiden.

Once done with that the next clue told them to go to the Capsule Hotel.  Eric & Jeremy got there first & found out they had to stay the night.  They got the first time to leave in the morning though – 9am.  BJ & Tyler got 9:15 & Ray & Yolanda got 9:30.

Next they had to go to an Amusement Park for a Roadblock.  Someone has to ride 3 different rides & while on they have to look for someone holding a sign w/ their clue.  If they are wrong at the end, they will have to ride all 3 again.  Tyler & Jeremy are there at the same time.  Meanwhile Ray lost his ticket for the toll road & has to look for it & loses precious time.  They finally found it & the guy smacked Ray’s ass & he wasn’t too happy about it.  I thought it was funny.

Tyler tells Jeremy that he saw the sign while they were on the 2nd ride.  He tells us he didn’t really.  They go on the 3rd ride & the sign was very obvious to both.  They now get to go to the Pit Stop but first they have to use a paddle boat shaped like a duck & get themselves to the swan boat where Phil is waiting.

Ray & Yolanda are bickering.  She doesn’t like how he drives.  He says she doesn’t like when she is driving & he is doing the directions either.  Yolanda does the ride & sees the clue on the 3rd one.

The Top 2 teams are in a footrace to the boats.  Frat Boys think they have this physical challenge for sure.  But BJ & Tyler beat them to Phil & also won a Sidekick & 3 years service.  Eric & Jeremy got 2nd & complained that the Hippies played dirty by Tyler saying he saw the sign on the 2nd ride.  Hippies came back with the Frats cancelled their cab.  Frats say it was mean of Jeremy.  I don’t think the Frats were really mad here.  I think these 2 teams really like each other & just like to give each other a hard time & are competitive. 

Ray & Yolanda came in last but it was the final non-Philimination round so Phil just took their stuff.

Next stop was Anchorage.  BJ & Tyler left money on Ray & Yolanda’s car with a note that says if R&Y win they owe them $20.  They get to the shuttle for the airport & it will leave at 6:10am.  They tell the guy to not tell anyone else the information & pretend they don’t understand English.  BJ & Tyler then go to use the Internet to book their flight.

Eric & Jeremy arrive & at first the guy at the desk says they have Internet but then says no they don’t.  The Frats thought that was odd but then just used a phone to call to look for a flight.

Ray & Yolanda stop off at a restaurant to beg for money.  They did get some cuz a guy thought she looked like Janet Jackson.

Eric & Jeremy are in the lobby when the Hippies come back up from using the Internet. So now the Frats think they were there an hour ahead of them.  On the way there the 2 teams had gone different directions so the Hippies say they were so late cuz they were lost.  Frats laugh at them & asked why they went that way in the first place & they said they were trying to throw them off.  Both of them get flights that land at 7:50.

Ray & Yolanda’s agent didn’t tell them about the 7:50 flight & by the time they found out about it it was booked.  Ray was pissed.  But the agent worked on it & got them on it.

Next clue is a Detour.  For ‘Drill It’ they have to go ice fishing & use an auger to drill 10 holes & then push a shack over & cover 2 of the holes.  When I would go to Wisconsin in the winter as a kid they didn’t push the shack.  They used a snowmobile & pulled it over.  For ‘Deliver It’ they had to load a plane with medical supplies & then navigate for the pilot & help him deliver it.  BJ & Tyler chose to deliver but the weather was bad so no one could do that one.

Eric & Jeremy finished first & now had to go to a Chalet & put on snow shoes & search a park for the clue box.  BJ & Tyler finished 2nd & then Ray & Yolanda.  BJ & Tyler couldn’t find the shoes & even walked right past them before finally seeing them.

Eric & Jeremy got the clue first & have to fly to Denver & find a park.  They get an 11:10pm flight.  BJ & Tyler used their driver’s cellphone to call & book a flight on their way & also got 11:10.  They were all at the airport together.  Ray jokes that you should always bet on black cuz they were all on the same flight. 

Eric & Jeremy get the next clue first & now have to go back to Red Rocks where the Race started.  Jeremy yelled that he knows where it is & Eric told him to shush cuz BJ & Tyler were there & hadn’t gotten the clue yet. 

Eric & Jeremy then got the final Roadblock.  One person has to search a field of 285 flags & find the 9 countries they visited & put them in the right order.  Eric does it.  Then BJ gets there & the 2 get a lot in the wrong order.  It looks like Eric is going to get it first but then BJ kicks some @ss & finishes.  They now have to run to Phil & the HIPPIES WIN TAR9!  It is rare, but I love it when someone I like & root for wins a reality show.  BJ & Tyler hug & cry.  Phil said they came to the mat everyime with a smile.  Tyler said people all around the world helped them win.

Eric & Jeremy came in 2nd & were not happy at all.  Phil told them they were the most competitive team they have ever had.  Frats joke that they didn’t know the last challenge would be brains.  Eric said he will have to go back to waiting tables.  They said the Race showed them that the world isn’t that big, it just takes will.

Ray & Yolanda were there last & they were all smiles.  Yolanda said Ray got mad at her at times but still wanted a hug.
