This year teams have the opportunity to win $2 million. All they have to do is come in first place in the first leg of the race and win The Amazing Race.
First Destination: Shanghai China
The first challenge is a Road Block that requires one member from each team to play table tennis (Ping-Pong) against a Chinese junior champion. All they have to do is score one point to move on.
The best part of this challenge is watching the team members lose against the Chinese junior champion when she was playing with household items instead of a Table Tennis paddle.
The show was only on for 15 minutes when the first argument happened. Sisters Natalie and Nadiya are already getting frustrated with each other because Natalie has been unable to complete the Road Block. I guess some people don't know how to be supportive.
At the next challenge, teams members were required to eat frog fallopian tubes that were in a papaya shell. It was so disgusting to watch. I felt bad for Rob who had to eat the dish twice because he didn't read the clue that specifically said, you can't use your hands. Remember, always read and follow the clues carefully.
After eating the disgusting fallopian tubes, to find the finish line, teams had to find a lady using an abacus. I couldn't believe how many teams didn't know what an abacus was. I can understand not being able to find the lady since the abacus wasn't visible, but to not know what an abacus is seems a little ridiculous to me.
Abby and Ryan won the first leg of the race and are the only team that can win the $2 million. Talk about target on your back.
Amy and Daniel came in a very close second. I felt bad for them as they should've come in first. If they hadn't told Abby and Ryan where the lady with the abacus was, Abby and Ryan would never have found it when they did. Also, for those who do not watch the show, Amy is a double amputee, having lost both her legs, making running extremely difficult. This also allowed for Abby and Ryan to get ahead and come in first.
I can't wait to see what happens next Sunday.
Remember to read and comment.
I would love to play this game!
