Amazing Race 1

Rob & Brennan take the prize in N.Y.
The end the race was Amazing in it's travels around the world but when it came to racing a cab ride was the determining factor. Rob & Brennan managed to get a faster cab and hopped on the train before Frank & Margarita could. In the end Frank & Margarita thought they won but as they got closer it was Rob & Brennan with the rest of the gang. It was a happy reunion in New York for all except those who deserved it. Yes J & B ended up in Alaska losers in this game they thought they would win. Maybe it was their attitude, or unfair game play. Whatever it was they definitely got their just desserts. Now we come to the end of this race and the of cab rides from hell. The Amazing is Over!

4 Teams Left
     The ninth leg of the race began in the grandiose Laxmi Niwas Palace in Bikaner, India. The five remaining Teams had already traveled 21,000 miles. At 4:50 p.m., fraternity brothers Kevin & Drew were the first to depart. They opened up their route envelope to discover that their next destination was the Temple of Dawn in Bangkok, 2000 miles away.
      In order to get there, Teams first had to travel three hundred miles from Bikaner to New Delhi. To make the trip, contestants had two transportation options: traveling by bus or by train. It was up to them to determine which mode of transportation was the quicker option. Any Team that properly researched the choices would discover that the slow-moving bus went directly to Delhi, whereas the fast-moving train traveled an indirect route that took longer. Once they arrived in New Delhi, the Teams would have to arrange their own flight to Bangkok.       Kevin & Drew hopped in their taxi and headed off in search of the better transportation option. Frank & Margarita were next to leave. Just after them, Rob & Brennan departed. Rob explained that they were heading to the train station because they had already researched the schedules and knew they could make the next train.
      Frank & Margarita and Rob & Brennan arrived at the train station around the same time. They purchased tickets and boarded the train. Meanwhile, Kevin & Drew had figured out that the bus was quicker and headed to the bus terminal. They boarded the creaky old bus, much to Drew's chagrin. "This might have been a mistake…with the squeaking the whole way there! Shoot me. Shoot me now," he groaned.

Time to go
As the race began, this time, the contestants left in the order of their arrival from the last episode. Contestants all had to hop into a cab and race to new location where they would pick up their trucks and head out to find a location Tataouine "Star Wars location". In the maze of Tataouine they needed to locate the second walkie talkie and the final clue of their destination. Finally they were to drive out in the middle of the desert and find the yellow flag to their last location and the rest stop before their next leg.
Kevin and Drew came out on top with Joe and Bill second and Nancy and Emily third. The rest of the gang took alot longer but all came in, except Nancy & Emily who managed to get lost in the desert and finally drove up to the camp site to find out they had been eliminated. If you missed this episode you are truly missing out on a great race for 1 million dollars. Who will win the next leg of the race and who won't? Watch again next Wednesday for the next installment of Amazing Race.

Amazing Race eliminates another team
David and Maregetta became the next victims of this fast paced thriller as they met with a subborn taxi driver who refused to take them to the final destination at the coliseum. They had no domestic currency and had to beg for help from locals as they switched cabs and went on their way. But in the end the time spent waiting for the right money lead to their downfall and elimination as they came in last place.
Each week we will see the remaining contestants try and get to the final by staying ahead of the pack and getting to the next goal. Episode 4 proved to provide little of this as all the contestants caught up with each other waiting to take the cruise ship to their next destination. Then it was a matter of choosing whether to take a taxi which cost more or a train which takes longer. Both Rob and Brennan realized that one should always take a taxi to stay ahead as the train was definitely to slow.
