TAR 14 - Tammy/Victor in First, Kisha/Jen eliminated

The episode starts off with Jaime/Cara receiving their clue, telling them to go to Beihei Mall. Soon, Margie/Luke, Tammy/Victor, and Kisha/Jen received their clue next. During the electric bike ride, Tammy/Victor managed to take a lead, and made their way to the destination first, arriving to the detour. In this detour, teams had to take a restaurant order in Mandarin Chinese or dress up like characters from an opera, and put on each other’s make up. Tammy/Victor chose to do Chinese Waiter. Meanwhile, Cara/Jaime are struggling to get a taxi, and seem very frustrated, as they are now put into last place. Finally, Margie/Luke and Kisha/Jen arrive, and they chose to do the Beijing Opera detour.

During the detour, Luke and Margie got frustrated with the way Luke was doing Margie’s make up. It almost made Luke give up. Finally, after just one mistake, Tammy/Victor served their way to their next clue, and they arrive to the U-Turn. It was then decided among them they would U-Turn Kisha/Jen, with a note saying “Sorry, we can‘t outrun you“. Kisha/Jen finished the detour, and moved on to the next place, where they U-Turn was. Finally, Cara/Jaime arrive, and they chose to do the make-up detour. While Margie/Luke and Kisha/Jen are lost, Tammy/Victor are at the detour where Victor chose to eat four Chinese delicacies: starfish, grasshopper, larva, and scorpion.

Victor moved on greatly with the roadblock, and along with Tammy, moved on to the Pit Stop, Niao Chao. Cara/Jaime also moved on with the detour, only again to continue to get lost in the streets of China. Finally, Margie/Luke make it all the way to the U-Turn, only to see Kisha/Jen yielded. Then, Kisha/Jen arrive, and realize they must go do the other detour, since they have been yielded. Meanwhile, Tammy/Victor arrive to the pit stop, and hear they are team number one, winning a trip for two to the Galapagos Islands. Margie/Luke are at the roadblock, where Margie is completing it. Meanwhile, Cara/Jaime are still lost, and are still frustrated. Then, Kisha/Jen are struggling with the Waiter detour, since they really don’t know Mandarin.

Margie/Luke finish the roadblock, and when hey arrive to the pit stop, they hear they are team number two. Next, Cara/Jaime finally arrive to the U-Turn, and receive their next clue. Kisha/Jen are right behind them. Kisha/Jen and Cara/Jaime anticipate the roadblock, as when they finally finish, Kisha/Jen lead the way. However, Kisha/Jen lose their lead, as Jen takes a washroom break. This led Cara/Jaime to the pit stop, coming in as team number three. Kisha/Jen were eliminated.

Come see the finale, as we’ll probably see Jaime/Cara get frustrated over an English speaking taxi, only to wash away to third, hopefully. I hope this race will become a close one for Margie/Luke and Tammy/Victor, and knowing CBS, I can probably bet on it. I’ve wanted Tammy/Victor to see win from the start and still hope they pull through. Either way, this win will be unprecedented; Tammy/Victor could be the first Asian-American team to win, Cara/Jaime could be the first female team to win, and Margie/Luke could be the first Parent/Child team to win.
