Tara/Joey depart at 2:40P and are told to go to the Corinth Canal, a 4
mile waterway cut into rock. At this RoadBlock a team member must bungee
jump 240ft.

Scott will take this RoadBlock unaware its a bungee jump. He is afraid
of heights.

Once completed all teams are on the same plane to Hanoi, Vietnam where
they must go to a local Park to search for their next clue.

At the park teams must look for a woman performing her morning exercise
waving a red fan with a yellow stick. Becca/Floyd find it first and are
on their way to Quan Su Buddhist Temple for their next clue.

Detour: Bamboo Climb or Windows Design

In Bamboo Climb teams must pick up one of 3 marked ladders, navigate the
streets and up a narrow passageway to retrieve a bird cage. They must
then return the ladder and the bird cage back to where they started.

Windows Design has teams carrying 3 mannequins to a store front where
they must recreate a scene from a photograph.

Becca/Floyd choose Bamboo Climb and so do Brooke/Scott. Matt/Redmond and
London/Logan. With only 3 ladders available someone will get left out
and that's Brooke/Scott. Brooke is mad at Scott for not helping her get
the last ladder available.

With all the ladders gone Brooke/Scott have no choice but to do the
mannequin Detour. Tara/Joey also have to do Windows Design.

The Bamboo Climb appears to be the easier Detour with Becca/Floyd still
in first after completing it. Phil will wait for them at the Pit Stop at
Thong Nhat Park. Matt/Redmond are right behind them.

Tara/Joey are at this point ahead of Brooke/Scott but Tara fails to read
the clue properly and they bring only 2 of the 3 required mannequins to
the store front.

Brooke starts to lose it carrying the mannequins in the high heat of a
Vietnamese afternoon.

Becca/Floyd are in first place and win trips to the Galapagos.
Matt/Redmond are second.

Brooke/Scott arrive at the store with their mannequins and are there to
see Tara/Joey realize they came up 1 mannequin short and leave to get
another.

London/Logan complete the ladder Detour and finish 3rd.

Brooke/Scott finish the Detour and off to the Pit Stop but the driver
does not know where to go. They change drivers.

Tara/Joey complete their Detour and race to Phil. There is some clever
editing here. It might really be down to whoever has better taxis.

Brooke/Scott finish 4th and Tara/Joey are 5th. Joey collapses at the Pit
Stop. Tara is angry at Brooke. Scott is in it at all costs.

But..this is a non-elimination and Tara/Joey live to see another day.
