Amazing Race Recap #9

In this leg's Roadblock, one team member has to direct a cormorant to retrieve fish they have thrown in the river. Once they retrieve 10 of the fish, they receive their next clue.

Team members doing the roadblock:

Bert: Bert clicks and whilstes and very quickly has his bird's attention.As they collect their ten fish Ernie comments: Hey Bert Something smells fishy round here.

Chewbacca:The fur flies as Chewy tries to direct his bird to the fish.In a fit of frustration Chewy slams his face in the water bringing up a fish in his mouth to show the bird how it's done. Miraculously Chewy's bird gets it and starts flying for the fish.

Jason: Jason pulls out his machete which scares everyone not just the bird. Freddy makes a joke by calling Jason a shit head which starts a fight between the two. But realizing they are falling behind they stop fighting add Jason gets back to work.Putting away the knife he mimes diving into the water and bringing up fish. This gets things back on track.

Luna: Luna is running back and forth along the water flapping her arms making bird calls doing everything she can to direct her cormerant. Not paying attention she falls into the water.Han yells Wet T-shirt Contest

Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash does a good job directing the bird to find the fish whinnying and making noises every time the bird gets a fish encouraging it to work faster and get more.

In this Detour, teams chose between Choreography or Calligraphy. In Choreography, teams had to perform a traditional dance routine. If their dance won the approval of two judges, they received their next clue. In Calligraphy, teams had to copy Chinese characters written by a calligrapher at four stations. Once the calligrapher was satisfied with the teams' calligraphy, he stamped their paper, and they proceeded to find the next station, which was named in the characters they had just copied. Once they had received all four stamps, they received their next clue.

*Chewbacca and Han

CHOREOGRAPHY

Highlights

*Han and Chewy bust out some wild moves and get everyone to do the YMCA which isn't the right dance but the instructor likes it so much he gives them the clue anyway.

*The ponies do the dance well they are used to singing and dancing in Equestria and prance their way out of the challenge.

Lowlights

*Halfway through the dance, Ernie disappears and returns moonwalking backwards with an ice cream cone. He gets a bit overly excited with the dancing and the cone flies out of his hand and hits Bert on his bald head.

Quotes

Ernie"Hey Bert, you look like a unicorn, Bert"
Bert starts singing Fantasies come true.Then starts screaming "Ernie, get this thing off me, I'm getting a brain freeze."
Han and Chewy: YMCA( Mwror mwrorr urghrr rnnnnh)

Fluttershy yells at the instructor before she starts "YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwp60eYuie0

CALLIGRAPHY

Highlights
*Hermione and Luna do very well having attended Ancient Ruins at Hogwarts.

Lowlights
*Freddy and Jason have terrible penmanship and they keep stabbing the pen through the paper.

*Freddy and Jason because of their brute force, kept breaking pencil leads at the detour. However, they decide to sabotage the girls and say "hey girls, is that Voldemort?" The girls look up and hide. Richard Hatch shows up dressed in a Voldemort costume and switches the papers for Freddy and Jason giving them the girls' papers and an evil villain hand shake.

Quotes

Freddy and Jason"CALIGRA-WHAT?"

Freddy"Jason you're doing it wrong, you should know by now with the body count you've left behind you."

PIT STOP


The ponies use their blazing lucky saddles to zoom into first. "Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash," says Adam , "you're Team #1! As the winners of this leg of the race you have won some dance lesson dvd's for animals. Such as Disco Stu's two-step for four legs. and the best of Billy Cyrus's Line Prancing. Plus a trip to Mables Stables a horsie holiday spa package courtesy of Hoofs r us.

Chewy and Han feeling the force, push into 2nd place. "Chewbacca and Han, you're team #2!" Chewy and Han continue the YMCA dance off the pit stop.

In third come Bert and Ernie lagging a little behind as they had to clean up Bert's head from the ice cream cone incident. "Ernie and Bert, you're team #3 and you are still in the race."

Freddy and Jason narrowly escape elimination and slide into 4th place.

Hermione and Luna, having been rejected at the calligraphy detour are far behind. "Hermione and Luna, " says Adam, "You are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race." They are sad but say they are pleased they got this far and thank Adam for the journey. As they walk away, Luna casts a spell and sets Freddy's sweater on fire. Hermione, inspired turns Jason's machete into a rubber mallet which hits him over the head repeatedly.
