All bless Scott’s heart for having to execute this particular ROAD BLOCK.
I’ll admit, it did look intimidating.
I haven’t heard that many OMGs sinceGossip Girlwas on the air.

Joey is first to take the plunge.
The height of the bridge bothers Tara more than her partner.
He flies without a care in the world.
Matt follows him with the cheers of Redmond echoing above.
In Scott’s defense, he didn’t crysohard.
I think he cried and screamed and shook a normal amount.
I sure hope he got one of those “I did it” T-shirts.
Logan owns the jump like a boss.
A very handsome boss.
And Becca does the same.
All teams pile in an airplane bound for Hanoi, Vietnam, in search of their next clue.
Welcome to a somewhat even playing field!
Becca and Floyd, who were in last place, are now in first.
Quan Su Buddhist Temple.
The others are all close behind.
Unfortunately, there are only three ladders with the officialAmazing Racered and yellow markers.
Floyd and Becca get one.
The Boys get another.
Team LoLo arrives, and London shouts for Logan to help her pull the ladder down.
London beats her to it.
That’s when the claws come out.
Not between London and Brooke.
They pretend to be cool.
They are like an annoying old married couple.
Brooke cannot deal.
Her back hurts, so Scott holds her backpack.
Her legs hurt, so Scott takes on another mannequin arm.
Her head hurts, so Scott rolls his eyes.
Meanwhile, the parents are rocking their mannequins.
Because Tara read the card wrong, and they only picked up two mannequins.
They have to go back and get the third, while Scott and Brooke finally finish the challenge.
It’s a miracle Brooke actually made it to the storefront.
Across town, the other three teams are having a time shoving a ladder up a stairwell.
I’m convinced that at least two people said, “PIVOT!”
a la Ross Geller inFriends.CBS probably edited it out.
I know some of you believe in this conspiracy theory, too.
At the very least, I shouted it.
The parents are stuck lugging another mannequin across town.
Matt and Redmond: Always a bridesmaid, am I right?
Becca says they are “un-boy-lievable.”
Team LoLo: The PIVOT almost got them, but they somehow made it through.
Logan wasthis closeto chucking the ladder off the roof.
Scott and Brooke: Although traffic almost bit them in the butt, they do secure fourth place.
Mom and Dad: Joey falls into Scott’s arms, exhausted from the running.
When Phil tells Tara and Joey that it’s not an elimination round, Joey begins crying.
He should have waited for the next leg to do that.
He ain’t seen nothing yet.
(Recap continues on page 2.)
It’s leg 10, and the teams must catch a bus to Ninh Binh.
Becca and Floyd secure tickets on the first bus, along with the Boys.
Floyd, Becca, Matt, and Redmond travel by bicycle to Bich Dong Temple.
Here they retrieve their Travelocity gnome and their next clue.
Get ready for the ROAD BLOCK, because it’s a doozy.
Those jokers in season 3 couldn’t even do it.
(Aside: Have we done everything in the entire world after 29 seasons?
Why are we recycling challenges?)
Floyd and Matt decide to work together.
They load “shrimp traps,” which look like lightweight baskets, onto fancy bicycles.
Attention to detail is key.
Matt piles up his bike and pedals off down the road, swaying every now and then.
Floyd piles up his bike and pedals off down the road, crashing every five seconds.
As he falls over, traps fall off.
This is not good.
LoLo is so over it.
Tara is in love with the scenery.
Sometimes, I love this guy.
Everyone finds their gnome and clue, except Mom and Dad.
They find their SPEED BUMP.
Tara and Joey have to collect six dozen eggs.
It sounds easier than it is, but they figure it out.
They are still in last place.
In other news, Matt dominates the bicycle challenge and secures a clue.
He runs into Floyd on his way back and helps Floyd balance his bike.
He’s just horizontal again.
Floyd finally makes it to his destination, but he doesn’t get a clue.
He’s been dropping traps up and down the road the entire time.
He has to go back to the beginning with the entire load.
Scott pedals and gets a clue.
LoLo can’t seem to balance her bike.
Sweet Floyd, of all people, helps her.
At their destination, the man gives LoLo a clue.
Floyd is left empty handed.
The poor guy dropped one basket.
He hauls off to get it while Joey receives his clue.
Sadly, LoLo’s bike breaks, and Joey passes her right up on the way back.
Floyd is somewhere on the side of the road suffering from heat exhaustion.
It’s the first time Redmond seems defeated by his artificial leg.
You need toes to do this challenge, and he doesn’t have any.
Matt steps up and crushes it.
Of course he does.
Tara rows with very few complications.
Logan has a tough time since he’s too tall for the boat.
And Floyd finally gets the clue.
He gets road rash from falling over on his bike, too.
LoLo, the parents, and Team Fun are on the struggle bus.
Matt and Redmond: They deserve to be team number one.
Scott should win a million dollars for putting up with Brooke.
Mom and Dad: Third place with a SPEED BUMP.
Take that, millennials.
London and Logan: This middle of the pack team just might surprise us when we least expect it.
Floyd and Becca: Team Fun is down a man.
Everyone buys a clue when poor Floyd keeps falling off of his bike.
The dude is seriously dehydrated and is clearly suffering from heat exhaustion.
Phil walks up to break the bad news.
Floyd’s positivity literally ran him into the ground.
Are you sad to see Becca and Floyd go?
We’re down to four teams now.
Who do you want to win?
Do you think we need to make T-shirts with some of Scott’s better one-liners?
I think I’m onto something…
