Ei guys, this is the recap of Ep11/Leg9. Sorry I'm late! I'm so sorry! I just couldn't bring myself to write the outcome. Well anyways, here it is, please enjoy.

---

Hayden/Aaron Lori/Bolo Kris/Jon Freddy/Kendra Adam/Rebecca
* Teams leave between 1:16 to 2:30 am. They must go to Lalibela Airport and take charter flights to Addis Ababa. Then they must go to the track stadium.
+ Bolo says: We have to take a minute to read the clue and make sure we understand everything completely. (Huh. Yeah right)
+ Rebecca says: Adam is capable. I just have to make him believe in himself. (Again, huh. Yeah right)
* Teams reach the airport. First charter flight: HA, LB, KJ. Second flight, which leaves after 30 minutes: FK, AR.
+ Kendra has been sampling the local food. Falls ill. Now barfs sporadically.
+ Freddy enters womens toilet. (Wala lang)
* The first charter flight arrives. LB gets the first taxi. HA next. KJ next. HA get overtaken by KJ but KJ gets lost so, there goes their advantage.
* In the stadium, they must pick two Ethiopians (they are really fast runners) to make a four-man/woman relay race.
* LB arrives first so they leave first. HA arrives second so they leave second. KJ well, you get the picture.
+ Hayden is supposed to be a track star so they catch up a bit to LB. Leaves KJ eating dust.
* The second flight arrived and Kendra needed to throw up so AR got the first taxi. The two teams did the task with Kendra running like an 80-year-old woman.

Lori/Bolo Hayden/Aaron Kris/Jon Adam/Rebecca Freddy/Kendra
* Teams now have to go to Colombo, Sri Lanka so they head to the airport. When in Colombo, they must take an 80-mile train trip to Galle town. From the train station at Galle, they will take a tuk-tuk to some fort where they will get their next clue.
* The first four teams immediately get a flight to Colombo via Dubai.
* FK, apart from Kendras stomach problems, experienced another setback as they have problems with their taxi. When they arrive at the airport, the flight is already boarding! But they were given tickets anyway.

BUNCHED UP!

Hayden/Aaron Lori/Bolo Freddy/Kendra Kris/Jon Adam/Rebecca
* Teams arrive in Sri Lanka and now must take a taxi to the train station from where they will leave for Galle. Four teams get taxis easily: HA, LB, FK and KJ.
+ A lot of them got scared of the Sri Lankans driving. Kendra the Barfer, for one, comments: Therere fumes everywhere and the driving! Later in the train station, she pukes again.
* AR doesnt get a taxi. (Such imprudence!)
* The train leaves 7:30 am (Like, now!). AR gets left behind.
+ Adam throws a tantrum soon after he learns that they are so last. He says: Im pissed! We lost the whole game! I want to take a taxi and go back to the airport!
+ Rebecca says: Then why dont we go to the airport and fly home [so you can cry to your mommy]? (LOL!) Rebecca threatens Adam that she doesnt want them to be together anymore for the nth time! Adam apologizes. (The cycle begins again!)

Lori/Bolo Freddy/Kendra Hayden/Aaron Kris/Jon Adam/Rebecca
* At the aforementioned fort, they receive their next clue: Detour!
[Coconut] Tree trunks Climb, Traverse, Collect; chosen by LB, HA, KJ and after so long, AR
Elephant trunks (though elephants trunks were not really an integral part of this task) Play elephant polo; chosen by FK
* LB arrives first at the coconut plantation. HA next. KJ next.
+ Loris safety harness gets caught and so that slowed her down.
+ Hayden is terrified of heights and so she is so slow all throughout. (We are getting to know Hayden a lot, arent we?)
+ Supercouple blazes through the task. So the order becomes: KJ, LB, HA.
* Meanwhile at the polo field, FK is having a nice day with the elephants. Looks fun, but is so slow.
* Teams must now take a bus 70 miles to Kandy city where they must buy rice from the art association and give said rice to a monk at the Temple of the Tooth.
* As the other teams travel to Kandy, Adam and his little monkey do the tree trunk detour. They do it seemingly fast.

Kris/Jon Lori/Bolo Hayden/Aaron Freddy/Kendra Adam/Rebecca
* The first three teams get on the same bus (and after all of KJs hard work!) They arrive at Kandy and see that the art places hours of operation is 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Its already past four. FK arrive a while later. AR arrives extremely later.
+ AR is so happy to catch up. They sleep in the cold, hard ground. (Lena wouldnt have enjoyed this)

BUNCHED UP! (So typical)
* The Kandyan Art Society opens and LB gets to buy first.
* Teams rush to the Tooth Temple and give their bowls of rice to the monk who ties string to them. They are instructed to take a 50-mile bus ride to Dambulla and go to the Lion Rock a.k.a. Sigiriya. But to get to the bus station, they must first get a tuk-tuk.
* HA cant get a tuk-tuk. Falls behind.
* KJ also falls behind. Maybe they wanted to relish the string-tying ceremony first, Im not sure.

Lori/Bolo Freddy/Kendra Adam/Rebecca Hayden/Aaron Kris/Jon
+ Kris says: Jon, are you sure this is the right bus? (I was hoping not.)
* Turns out it is the right bus, and a fast one at that. Even though they left last, they arrived first.

Kris/Jon Adam/Rebecca Lori/Bolo Freddy/Kendra Hayden/Aaron
* After they arrive in Dambulla, they now have to get a tuk-tuk ride to the Lion Rock. ARs tuk-tuk was slow and had to pump gas. They get left behind.
* Teams arrive at the Rock. It is a Roadblock. One team member [who has strong legs and keen eyes] must climb up the 1000 steps and, using binoculars must spot the pitstop, which is located at one end of a pool which the teams must swim across for some reason.

Kris/Jon Lori/Bolo Freddy/Kendra Hayden/Aaron Adam/Rebecca
* They get their admission tickets.
* Jon, Lori, Freddy, Aaron and Adam climb.
* Freddy realizes that he didnt bring his ticket so without climbing too far up; he doubles back and takes the ticket from Kendra.
* Lori also forgot hers. She reached the top before realizing this. Up there, she pleads with and lies to the guy in charge so he will let her in, but to no avail. (She shouldve knocked out the guy) She goes down to get her ticket from Bolo (I told you to read the additional information ditnot!) who tries to encourage her but ends up irritating her more.
* In rapid succession, they spot the pool. Adam spots it before Freddy.

Kris/Jon Hayden/Aaron Adam/Rebecca Freddy/Kendra Lori/Bolo
* But Adam in all his nancy-ness gets passed by Freddy climbing down the stairs.
* Bolo is shown scratching his head with a monkey.
* They take tuk-tuks to the pitstop.

Kris/Jon Hayden/Aaron Freddy/Kendra Adam/Rebecca Lori/Bolo
* KJ arrives first. They get an all-expenses-paid trip to romantic Europe which they can enjoy after the race.
* HA arrives in the resort place first but cannot find the mat. FK arrives next. AR, following FK, arrives almost with them. These teams arrive from the side and forget to non-sensically swim the length of the pool. Rebecca looked so happy, thinking they were second. Anyways, they stepped officially on the mat: HA, FK, AR.
* LB arrives last with Lori looking like shes entering a wet t-shirt contest (LOL!). As a result they are [not] eliminated [and are so much still in the race!]
