Are we ready for this? Let's GO! 

Teams are flying to Hong Kong where they will have to find a photographers kiosk for their next clue. All teams are on the same flight. It's three teams against one as they all want Yale out. I'd like Yale to remain in because that's my blog pool team. But they are the weakest and youngest team. Plus, they have a Speed Bump ahead due to nonPhilimination last leg.

At the kiosk a photograph must be taken.

Henry and Evan have to illuminate and hang 40 Chinese lanterns as their Speed Bump. 

Detour - Secure Hairy Crabs for fishermen, prepare 50 crabs in a typhoon or a game of "telephone" ordering a Chinese dish told to them in Mandarin. Indy gives up on the crabs because they're vicious.

Henry and Evan, doing the restaurant, are the first team to finish the Detour, followed by Indy. Later Jess and Cody, then the Ski Gals finish the crabs.

The Roadblock has them smashing electronics to find a clue. Yale in the lead, followed by Indy. Oh noes! One of the Ski Gals is breaking down instead of breaking up stuff in the Roadblock!

Teams have a briefcase and must unlock it by heading to the nightclub district , arrange signs to symbolize previous legs, then use it to open it. 

Henry and Evan get their briefcase open first and are headed to the Pit Stop. Jess and Cody out of there next.

Pit Stop:
1. Henry and Evan - Phil told them they're heading to San Francisco but it's the next leg.
2. Jessica and Cody - bummed out Yale because they obviously weren't happy they were there.
3. Kristi and Jen 

Alex and Conor Philiminated ... they never got the briefcase open. 

Once in SF, they have to find the Say Hey Kid statue at the ball park. Once they get the clue, they have to kayak to find baseballs numbered with Willie Mayss home runs. 

Kristi and Jen out first, then Jess and Cody.

Roadblock - The highest ascending climb, 20 stories, on the bridge and then a free fall jump. Cody through first, then the girls.

The clue has a diagram of where they need to go. Teams must find the fortune cookie factory and make 102 perfect fortune cookies.

Jen and Kristi beat out Jess and Cody at the cookies and are off to their next clue. Yale and BB are just about even. 

Teams are heading to the USS Hornet. Ski Gals, Yale then BB. They have to search the Hornet for twelve parts of a plane, then build the plane according to the legs they've traveled. 

JESSICA AND CODY WIN THE AMAZING RACE! 

Henry and Evan came in just a few minutes later. 

Congratulations blog pool winners DeLee, ChicMc, Megan H!
