TAR14 - Tammy/Victor in first, Mel/Mike eliminated

The teams left India and were given a clue to a gorilla statue in Phuket, Thailand. All of the teams chose to go to the ticket agency, except for Cara/Jaime, who went straight to the airport. However, all of the teams went to Thailand on the same flight. All of the teams arrive in Thailand and immediately head off to the zoo, however, they don’t know it’s a zoo they have to go to.

All of the teams manage to find out they are to go to the zoo, except for Mel/Mike, who get a taxi to take them to Patong Beach. Mark/Michael, Jaime/Cara, and Kisha/Jen arrive first, and receive their next clue, which had teams take a picture with a tiger, and have an elephant step on their back. Mark/Michael finished that, and following them were Cara/Jaime and Kisha/Jen.
Finally, Tammy/Victor and Margie/Luke arrive and complete this route marker. Meanwhile, Mel/Mike realize they are going to the wrong place, and immediately decide to turn around. Next, the teams ahead are told to make their way to an Herb shop where they must have a shopkeeper show them a box, hoping there is a clue inside.

Mark/Michael arrive to the shop first, and immediately began choosing boxes. Finally, Jaime/Cara, Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, and Margie/Luke arrive. Meanwhile, Mel/Mike finish the route marker and move on to the shop. Finally, Mark/Michael found their next clue, and moved on to the detour: ride rickshaws or fill up buckets on a boat. Kisha/Jen were next to finish the detour, and they moved on to the boat task. Tammy/Victor received their clue next, and they chose to do the rickshaw detour. Jaime/Cara began to get frustrated, until they receive their clue. Margie/Luke finally get their clue, all finishing before Mel/Mike can arrive.

Mark/Michael move smoothly and keep first place positioning, all the way to finishing the detour to arriving to the pit stop first. However, they are given two penalties, one for tampering with the pumps and the other for following a taxi to their position. Tammy/Victor made an error not carrying their rickshaw all the way, however, recovered. Tammy/Victor were told they were team number one, winning a trip to Hawaii. Jaime/Cara finish, and are told they are team number two. Mike/Mel arrive to the shop, and immediately begins searching for their clue until they find it.

Kisha/Jen are still working on the boat task, and Margie/Luke struggle to communicate in this task. Finally, Mark/Michael are done with their penalty and immediately check in, to hear they are team number three. Finally, Margie/Luke arrive to hear they are team number four. Then, an incident occurred when Margie fainted due to the heat. Margie was quickly treated and recovered. Mel/Mike arrived to the boat detour, and began working on the task. However, Kisha/Jen finished and immediately made their way to the pit stop. They were team number five. When Mel/Mike arrive, they were told they were last, and were eliminated. Five teams are left.
