TAR14 - Leg left hanging in Beijing, China

The teams travel to Beijing, China and had to make their way to Liangzi Foot Message Place. During the way there, Kisha/Jen and Margie/Luke keep mentioning they are over their fight from the pervious leg. So, all of the teams make their way to the foot message place, with Cara/Jaime there first, and one of them choosing to do the roadblock, which was a very painful foot message that they had to deal with for ten minutes. Kisha/Jen arrived, next, and easily, Kisha chose the detour. The two ladies each struggled with the pain they were going through. Finally, Tammy/Victor arrive, and Tammy does the roadblock, becoming the next victim of the pain. Next, Margie/Luke arrive, and Luke decided to do the roadblock.

Finally, all four of the roadblock doers all survived the pain, and Cara/Jaime lead the pack as they still struggle with some language barriers and culture shock. Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, and Margie/Luke each follow, and make their way to Guangcui Natatorium, where their next clue in. Finally, Jaime/Cara, Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, and Margie/Luke each received the detour, sync, or swim. In sync, teams had to dive in a pool, and in swim, swim 800 meters (400 a piece) in order to receive ac clue. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke chose to swim, and Kisha/Jen and Tammy/Victor chose to sync. Tammy/Victor struggled a lot with the detour, and Jen’s fear of swimming left her afraid and in tears, in most of the episode. She even wanted to go home.

Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke finished the detour easily, and in under ten minutes, and easily moved on to the pit stop, the Drum Tower. Jen still struggled to deal with her swimming fear, and Kisha was very supportive of her. Meanwhile, Tammy/Victor were still working on the detour, and Jaime/Cara were screaming at taxi drivers, saying “they all look alike!!!!!”. Finally, Tammy/Victor got the diving detour correct, and were able to finish. Next, Kisha/Jen struggled in the swim detour, but finally managed to make it through. Jaime/Cara arrive to the Drum Tower first, but, Phil tells them this was not the pit stop, and handed them their next clue.
