Episode #7 Recap

The teams travel from India to Thailand.

DETOUR

100 barrels or 2 miles In 100 Barrels, teams had to travel to Pae Yod, choose one of 6 fishing boats, fill 47 barrels with water, and load 53 on the upper deck. In 2 Miles, teams had to transport a rickshaw (with one team member sitting in it) 2 miles (3.2 km) from Wat Phutta Mongkhon Nimit to King Rama IX Park to find the next clue. Bike pumps were provided alongside the rickshaws in the event of a flat tire.

FAST FORWARD

To get the fast forward, teams must go to the market and give 5 people a hair cut.

Ernie and Bert are going for the fast forward because they want to win a leg and they don't care whose leg it is.

Teams doing 100 barrels:

*Chewy and Han

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash

*Freddy and Jason

Teams doing 2 miles:

* Frodo and Sam

*Hermione and Luna

*Leonard and Sheldon

FAST FORWARD

Ernie gives his famous hair cut, shaving all the monks bald which they like but he clips so fast that he doesn't realise he has cut Bert's hair too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hou8AyxWTYw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRMZkEoBbuQ

Ernie and Bert head to the pit stop.

100 barrels

Highlights:

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash do well because Fluttershy imagines that she is feeding a herd of camels.

Lowlights:

*Chewy falls in the water and smells like wet wookie.

Quotes:

Freddy and Jason: 'What's in these barrels? A dead body?'

Jason: Aww if there is, you got the lucky barrel.

Han: Oh man Chewy and I thought wet dog was bad.

2 miles

Highlights

*Leonard and Sheldon get off to a strong start.

*Hermione and Luna get off to a strong start.

*The hobbits have hard time keeping up because of their short legs and have to do double the distance because they take two steps for ever one of the humans but are determined to finish the race leg.

* Luna and Herminone turn around to help the hobbits but keep making Hanz and Franz Jokes about how they are there to "pump you up"!

Lowlights

*The hobbits get a flat tire.

*Leonard and Sheldon:Shelden rides in the rickshaw and takes out a whip to smack Leonard in the butt with, explaining how it is a tactical necessity and he calculated it would motivate Leonard to move. Leonard and Sheldon argue.Leonard, tired of being whipped by Sheldon sits crosslegged on the ground and meditates in peaceful protest. Sheldon not wanting to lose picks up cross legged Leonard and starts carrying him.Leonard noticing the whip in Sheldon's back pocket grabs it and starts whipping Shelden who scream ouch! and drops Leonard, scolding Leonard by reminding him that "Leonard, I bruise easily! why did you do that?"

Quotes:

Leonard: Ow Sheldon ow!

Sheldon: Oh I'm sorry, I thought it would motivate you to move faster. If my calculations are correct with each whipping you should move about 3% faster.

Luna: "Hello little girly hobbit men" "We're here to pump you up!" (Speaking in cheesy arnold accent and flexing biceps)

PIT STOP

Ernie and a rather bald Bert arrive at the pit stop mat. 'Ernie and Bert,' says Adam, 'you're team #1!" Members of the Missing Bert Bureau show up behind them wearing suits and ties and sunglasses. Ernie say: "ya hear that Bert number one numero uno!" Then he rubs Bert's bald head for good luck. Adam says 'As the winners of this leg of the race you have won your MBB badges and immunity for the next leg of the race which means you cannot be eliminated. You also get an all expenses paid trip to Cleveland for the world Barber shop quartet sing off.'

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash arrive. 'Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, you're Team #2!"

Hermione and Luna and Frodo and Sam arrive at the pit stop together. "Hermione and Luna, you're team #3, Frodo and Sam you're team #4!" The two teams high five each other.

Han Solo and Chewy arrive in 5th place. "Han and Chewy, you're team #5 and you're still in the race!"

Freddy and Jason, arrive in 6th place. "Freddy and Jason, you're team #6!"

Leonard and Sheldon arrive in last. Sheldon: "Hey Leonard, Isn't that Penny over there? Making out with with that bald banana headed guy?"

"What! Lenard runs to look. Then realises he has been duped and throws a banana at Sheldon but his aim is so bad that he hits Bert.

Ernie "Hey Bert, I like your hair Bert. You're very appealing with this hair Bert."

"Leonard and Sheldon,' says Adam 'You are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race.'

Sheldon: Really? Where did it all go wrong? According to my calculations...he says pulling a chart out entitled "Race winning probability." Leonard peels a banana and shoves it into Sheldon's mouth before he can finish. Leonard passes out on the ground.
