GOOD RIDDANCE!
As Teams traveled to Taipei, Taiwan, tensions flared as TK & Rachel caught up to other Teams at the airport and kept pace despite their Speed Bump. Ron & Chris sailed to another victory while dating couple Nate & Jen continued fighting and became the last team eliminated, just short of the final three.
My hernia won't like this.
After TK & Rachel stepped onto the mat in second place having overcome a three-hour deficit and Speed Bump from the prior leg, Nick & Don finally found their taxi moments ahead of Nate & Jen. With traffic in the bustling city, both Teams crossed their fingers that their drivers knew the fastest way to the Memorial Hall Plaza. In the end, grandson and grandfather Nick & Don arrived in third place to secure the last spot in the finals. Don, at 68 years old, became the oldest person ever in the final three.Stepping onto the mat in last place, dating couple Nate & Jen received the bad news that they had been eliminated from the race. Just off the mat, the tearful couple assessed the state of their relationship. Jen said, "I think that we killed our relationship on the way. We weren't strong enough to heal and finish the race. We just frickin' killed ourselves during it, Nate. We didn't even focus on our relationship. All we cared about was the race." A crying Nate agreed with this as the two shared a long embrace alone in the square.
Thanks for ruining my frickin' birthday!
