Episode 3 of Season 21 y’all! Fran (with a side of Berry) here ready to rock this ep! Just close your eyes and listen to the theme song. Boy oh boy, after all of these years this song still gets our blood going! Don’t know if it makes us want to cry, throw up, make love or all three!
Surabaya, Indonesia is where we pick up on this #AMAZINGRACE. @PhilKeoghan is waiting for us in the market place to explain that Twin N’s won the Express Pass Which means they can bypass any challenge they don’t want to complete. We’re not sure if the girls heard him or not because they were screaming and flailing around, just like how our new baby, Lil’ C sleeps.
The statue of the constant hello. Or is it the constant goodbye? Nobody knows.
Twin N’s leave first and they are off to Antika Jaya Padang Restaurant (#AntikaJayaPadangRestaurant) where they’ll pick up their next clue. The girls are super excited to be in first place as they run through the market place yelling, “ENGLISH?! ENGLISH?!” Ah, they really are Americans at heart.
Team Friday Night Lights is off next. They quickly meet up with Twin N’s. These two teams don’t bother to get going so they wait for Team Dong to catch up so they can follow them. Now that the super alliance is complete, all three teams hustle to the restaurant because: CAUTION! U-Turn AHEAD! Dayum! Dayum! DAYUM!
The Amazing Race Slow Moving Hangout
Team Choke Out leaves fourth. Ryan admits that they are having an extra hard time on the race because they are so competitive with each other that they can’t work as a team. Also it’s hard to choke her out with all the cameras on them all the time. He says how the race is super easy, it’s dealing with her that’ll be the challenge. Then he goes in for a light choke out.
His equivalent to a soft kiss.
They also catch up with the alliance, so now four teams are lost and confused. FNL wises up first and jumps in a cab. Everyone comes out of their cattle brain fog and follows FNL’s lead.
Goat Boys leave next. They say how there are two types of teams, Alpha Winner teams and them. Maybe we shouldn’t get used to these guys being on this show. Unless from here on out all the roadblocks are goat related.
FNL gets to the roadblock first. “Who wants to serve a balanced meal?” Teams have to serve twenty plates of food Padang style. And based on the demo it looks like Padang style is just a random pile. If they drop anything they have to start over again. FNL Lexi is having a hard time. The other teams are catching up. Except Twin N’s who got stuck in a bad cab.

This was a good episode and I really enjoyed the race to the end. I was so glad when Team Sporty lost – talk about perpetuating the (I think often unfair) stereotype of Ugly Americans! I would be glad to see Tall & Tiny and the Truckers go next. Then I don’t care who leaves after that since I don’t mind the remainder of the teams. But I am finding it hard to pick one team that I really want to win this time.
Great recap!
Seriously, what the hell do we need to do to eliminate Tall and Tiny?
If they don’t get eliminated in the next 2 episodes, I want them to win the whole damn thing.
This race is never won or lost by any strategies or getting any type of head start. They are always, at some point, getting put back on an even keel. It’s either at an airport or a museum that opens at 7am or a boat that doesn’t leave until 9pm , so they all end up together. It’s that stupid taxi driver or some sort of local transporter who is suppose to know their way around town that gets the team in trouble with a flat tire, running out of gas or just not knowing where the hell they are going!!
This has been the worst season for stupid taxi drivers I’ve ever seen……
Yep, Chooch nailed while I never watch this show. It’s just a bunch of people running through exotic locations yelling at each other while performing humiliating tasks. Which ordinarily I’d love to watch. But it’s all entirely random. And every time a team gets a leg up they stop the entire fucking momentum of the show with yet another chartered plane ride.
I just can’t believe this show is still on. And wins awards.
This is my first time to watch this show and I don’t think I’m really understanding it. It doesn’t seem as though coming in first, second, third, etc gives much of an advantage. And to have good, smart competitors eliminated because of a bad taxi driver is ridiculous. Not sure I’ll be watching anymore of it.
And I thought they telegraphed the ending with the title of the episode.
Why didn’t Lexi remove her back pack?? She tried the first two trips with twenty plates with an additional 30 pounds on her back. Now I want them eliminated because that was jsut stupid.
Actually, pretty much everyone gets a bad taxi driver at some point during the race. The smart teams realize they have a bad one and switch immediately. In this case, the girls had a pretty huge lead anyway, but lost it when they couldn’t find the U-Turn thing. They blew their lead first, then they kept sticking with a driver who had already proven useless.
And it’s not like they would have a hard time finding another driver. I’ve been to Indonesia. It’s a country made up pretty much entirely of taxi drivers. They deserved to lose and they were kind of pissing me off, because I really want the tall-short team off my tv screen.
I watched the first six seasons (again) recently and I noticed one thing. The teams that are usually at the top of the heap in the first episodes are usually the teams remaining in the final episodes. That doesn’t bode well for tall and tiny and truckasaurus.
Part of the enjoyment for me is seeing all the places (buildings and monuments) that I never knew existed before. Like the Gate of India (1924)! I would love to go to India just to see The Gate of India.
The only team I didn’t like just got eliminated so I’m down with the rest of the teams.
I wondered why Lexi didn’t take off the backpack too! She had her race partner to hold/watch it, it’s not as though it would have been stolen.
I have not, alas, done much traveling, but I remember an excruciating experience in Martinique quite a few years ago where several Americans seemed to think that, if they screamed more loudly in English, the French-speaking inhabitants would magically understand them. Team Sporty is definitely cut from the same cloth, and I was not sorry to see them go. Kinda rooting for the Goat Boys.
An *actual race* on AR. I was floored lol.
I kinda figured T&T (hey…when’s that back on?) would not be eliminated because those two were all “positive” and “don’t give up”, blah-de-bla-blah. It could have been a swerve, but wasn’t.
I think I’d like at least ONE team to cause some dramaz and be cray cray.
Love love love the twins. They crack me the hell up!
OK, so I’m sure that there are really some dumbass taxi drivers in the world – there are so many dumbasses in the world I’m sure some of them become taxi drivers. However, most of the time these “lost” taxis are carrying the rudest or meanest race contestants. I think that some of these people know exactly where they should go and just get “lost” to be dicks to the people being dicks to them. And I love it. Watching this show, it’s no surprise why people in other countries think all Americans are rude. Talking slower can help if you talk a mile a minute usually, but talking louder does nothing but make locals not want to help you.
Now last week, What’sTheirFaces did get a dumbass taxi driver that knew where every Wajiba business was EXCEPT the one they needed. This week, I think they were just screwing with Blondies. You go, cabbie, you go!
Oh, and they should call that statue Aloha that way there won’t be any “Hello/Goodbye” arguments – it will be what it is forever in our souls.
