To the rest of the free world: Sorry, y'all. Andy Rooney just started his diatribe. I'm running about 6-8 minutes behind the rest of you.

PREVIOUSLY ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:

Phil: Eleven teams set out from Los Angeles, on a race around the world. In Ireland, dating goths impressed the other teams. Other dating couples needed better teamwork. (Arguments, drama scenes w/Jennifer and Lorena.) While some teams flourished and had fun, others found themselves halted. (Donkey shines!) In the end, siblings Az/Hend came in 1st. Nate/Jenn managed to inch out Ari/Staella, who were eliminated.

Ten teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Hend calls the Goths "serious competitors. Kynt runs around like he's on speed."

At the airport, Az/Hend and the Goths, next TK/R and Lorena/J.
Teams are all arriving. No activity in the airport. Looks like an EQUALIZER.

Ron is getting mad. "She's wasting time!" Then something snarky about ADD to Christina, not funny.
The Ministers are embarrassed at his treatment of Christina on the internet ...

Ticket agents serve teams in their order of arrival.
Finally the last couple of teams make it to the airport.

First flight is open for all. But not the second connection - which is tight.
Az/Hend find out there are only 12 seats available from Dublin to Amsterdam. That might un-equalize.

Ron/Christina, Kate/Pat finally make the airport as TK/Rachel get tickets.
Lorena/Jason also ticketed now.
Blondes get theirs.
Woman: After you only 2 seats available.
Nathan/Jennifer get the last 2.
Standing next to them ... Nic/Gramps ... NOPE.

The guaranteed Dublin teams get on their plane, heading for Amsterdam.
Other teams are awaiting standby prospects.
Tickets go to ... DONALD/NICOLAS.
Ron: That SUCKS!!

Mariana/Julia finally get to Dublin.
They run into the ministers, who are disappointed because it's one more team in a "3-way dead heat" on a later flight to Amsterdam with Ron/Christina.

In AMS, teams run to the ticket counter to find the train taking them to Central Station.
Az/Hend get on the first train. 10 minute head start!!
Az/Hend, CLUE: DETOUR. Hoist it, or hunt it?
Phil: Hoist it, rope/pulley system, hoist 5 pieces of furniture up to an Amsterdam residence. It's close nearby.
Hunt it, make your way several blocks, search a parking lot through lots of bikes. Find the one with the specific color, ride 5 miles to an attendant. The task reqiures attention to detail and could take time.

Az/Hend opt for Hunt it.

As the other teams quickly do their hoisting, Az/Hend see the SEA of bikes, in many parking levels. They amazingly don't decide to turn around.
Az: Get your mind around it!
Most teams are making quick work of hoisting.
Arriving in 7th, Nic/Donald decide to Hunt it.

Lorena/Jason quickly finish hoisting.
L/J, CLUE: Travel by bus to Ransdorp.
Phil: Locate this field with the next clue.

Gramps has an idea that looking for a specific bike could take a long time.
Az found one w/right colors. Now Hendekea needs to find one.
Lorena/Jason narrowly miss a bus to take them where they need to go. It's Bus #30.
Nathan/Jennifer arguing doing the hoist. "Oh my gosh! You're a guy! You need to be able to do this physical stuff!"
Meanwhile, TK has problems, too.
Goths finishing in 2nd.
Hendekea finds the 2nd bike. Now they head off on bikes, for a 5 mile run.
Nate and Jennifer switch as she demeans him for "not being able to tie a knot."
Shana/Jennifer complete hoisting in 3rd.

Nate/Jennifer now finished, in 4th.
Three of the four finished teams all waiting for Bus #30 together.
Three teams get on the bus: Shana/Jennifer, Nate/Jennifer, Lorena/Jason.
The fourth team was Kynt/Vix, who were running from the other side of the street and missed it.

Az/hend drop to 5th but finish the bike ride.
Still having troubles, TK/Rachel "slowly slipping away."

Other teams arriving in Amsterdam now, Ministers, Ron/Christina, Mariana/Julia, get tickets for the train.

Meanwhile ...
TK: I don't know what to do. I hit a wall.
Rachel: Oh. This sucks.

COMMERCIAL.
