Amazing Race Season 2: Episode 5 Recap

FAST FORWARD

In this
Fast Forward, teams went to the Cooling Station of the Orlando Power Station and then walked across a suspension bridge 30 feet (9.1 m) above the ground, once crossed, that team would win the Fast Forward.

Teams scramble for the fast forward. To hold other teams back, Statler and Waldorf barricade the box with their walking sticks and grab it and head to the bridge.

Statler: Hey Waldorf?
W: What is it?
S: You know how we're always saying will cross that bridge when we get to it?
W: Yah?
S: Well... We're too it. Dohohoho So.... you first.

S: How long do you think it will take us to get across?
W: Well... at this rate we'll be fossils by the time we do.
S: Fossils? I thought we already were? Dohohoho.

DETOUR

In this Detour, teams choose between Tunnels or Tribes. In Tribes, teams went to Lesedi Cultural Village where the tribes (Basotho, Ndebele, Pedi, Xhosa and Zulu) were represented. Once there, teams had to deliver five items to their respective tribes. Only five of which was the correct item to the corresponding tribe, it was exchanged for a necklace. When they got all five necklaces, they exchanged them for their next clue. In Tunnels, teams went to Wild Caves where teams took to the underground, rappeling down into a cave 45 feet (14 m) below and traveled through the dark cave where they had to search for their next clue.

LOWLIGHTS

*Hannibal and Jigsaw cut Kermit and Piggy's ropes and they go crashing to the bottom of the pit but end up landing right on top of the clue.

*As Hannibal and Jigsaw get to the bottom and start searching for the clue, Kermit and Piggy use their ropes to climb back up and out leaving them stranded with the cut rope.

QUOTES

Optimus" Hurry up Bumblebee you've been in potholes deeper than this!"
Bumblebee responds with Bruce Springsteen's "I'm going down, down, down."

Jigsaw to Hannibal "I hope you haven't invested in the price of pork bellies because the price is about to drop," as he cuts the rope.


TRIBES

Highlights

*Simba and Nala get honored by the tribal leaders and quickly get their necklaces.

*Bob tries out some Spanish on the tribal leaders who have no idea what he's saying but point him in the right direction.


Lowlights

*Mark sings Roger's song Your Eyes to Bob.Bob swoons and Roger gets annoyed at Mark for stealing his song and they get into a fight and Mark sings "Who do you think you are? Barging in on me and Bob's guitar?" to which Roger tells little blob hey, the door is that way.

*Scooby and Shaggy meet one of the tribal leaders wearing a headdress. Shaggy can't see them but Scooby is pointing behind him and freaking out and Shaggy says "like there's a ghost right behind me, isn't there?" He turns around they both run away.

Quotes

Shaggy "Scooby I don't know how you do the voodoo that you do but it makes me want to run. Let's go Scoob. "

Bob "Donde es mi amigo se llama Mark?" (Mark has a stalker now. )

Simba and Nala "Finally, we get to be treated like king and queen."

ROADBLOCK

In this Roadblock, one team member had to search a marketplace and find the vendors for five items that were later to be delivered to a local children's orphanage to earn their next clue.
Team members doing the roadblock:

Alf: Gets off to a good start but starts playing with the items that he receives that are meant to go to the orphanage.

Jigsaw: Jigsaw likes that the task is like a puzzle and delivers the items quite quickly.

Nala : Nala doesn't have to worry about the crowds in the marketplace, because being a lion, most people get out of her way.

Optimus Prime: Optimus gets held up as someone tries to steal his hubcaps.

Piggy: Parts the crowds with a karate chop "Hiyyyyaahhhhh," but then gets sidetracked by a vendor selling clothes and jewellery.

Roger : Is still pissed off at Mark and barges through the marketplace like a raging bull.

Shaggy: Shaggy finds all his items but he also finds all the food stalls and eats while he runs.

Susan: As Susan is searching for the items, Bob is yelling at her "try speaking Spanish, they speak Spanish here!!" and he also yells "Donde es Roger, the enemy of mi Mark!"

PIT STOP

Statler and Waldorf arrive in first. "Statler and Waldorf, " says Adam, "fellas, you're team #1! The fast forward really helped out and that's some great bridge work. " Statler and Waldorf say "Thanks it was like crossing a bridge over troubled waters." to which Adam says "No I meant your dentures. Dohohoohohohohoho." to which they say "Funny, funny, funnny." Adam tells them they have won a lounge suite for their box in the theatre, including a popcorn maker and t.v.

Mark and Roger come in second. "Mark and Roger, " says Adam, "you're team #2," to which Mark replies "Donde es mi Bob the blob? then asks Adam if he's seen a round blue blob guy anywhere to which Roger says "If you're that obsessed with him, why don't you race with him instead of me?" and storms off to which Mark replies "Take me for what I am, who was I meant to be?" Roger turns around and says "you were flirting with the blue bob who speaks Spanish." Mark replies "There will always be blue blobs speaking Spanish flirting with me?" As Bob comes to the pit stop Adam says to Mark "Maybe now you two can get back together. "

Alf and E.T come in 3rd. "Alf and E.T, " says Adam, "you're team #3!" E.T says "E.T did goooooood ," and Alf turns to E.T and says "High five for the Alfer!"

Bob and Susan arrive in 4th. "Bob and Susan, " says Adam, "you're team #4 and that means you are still in the race!" Bob says to Adam "Have you seen a rather dashing young man in bike shorts around here? Mucho gusto. Rrrrrrrrrrrr" to which Susan smacks Bob and tells him to behave.

Simba and Nala arrive in 5th. "Simba and Nala, " says Adam, "you're team #5 and that means you are still in the race. " Simba roars in approval.

Scooby and Shaggy are next to arrive. Shaggy is laden down with every food possible that he picked up from the marketplace. "Scooby and Shaggy, " says Adam, "you're team #6" then he steals all the food and eats it. Scooby says "Radam, rats rour rood. Rokay?"

Next to arrive is Bumblebee and Optimus, who arrive. "Bumblebee and Optimus, " says Adam, "you're Team #7!"

Hannibal and Jigsaw are behind Kermit and Piggy but tie a bungee cord to Piggy's back and send her flying in the other direction along with Kermit who was piggy backing her. . "What was that?" says Hannibal.
"I think the price of baccon just went soaring, " says Jigsaw as they reach the pit stop map.
"Hannibal and Jigsaw, " says Adam "you are team #8 and that means you are still in the race. "

Hannibal rubs his hands together and makes a very creepy noise with his mouth and tongue obviously very satisfied with this news.
Jigsaw high fives Hannibal and says: "We're still in the game."

Kermit and Miss Piggy run to the pit stop knowing they have been sabotaged by Hannibal and Jigsaw.

"Kermit and Piggy, " says Adam, "you are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race." Hannibal and Jigsaw do not get a penalty.As this is announced, the camera cuts to a shot of Jeremy Kyle and Oprah winking at the camera and saying "Ratings week."
