Amazing Race-Thailand Once More

So our intrepid travelers start out by traveling to a river.  Once at this river, they use local transportation to get to the clue box.  In this case, local transportation consisted of a large Asian elephant.  It was fun to watch,  but not very fast which frustrated most racers.

Once they reached the clue box, it was time for a Road Block.  In this Road Block, the team members had to dive for a clue in a pool of water.  Most teams were done with this task before Liz and Marie, who had finished last on the previous leg, arrived at the river.  They had to wash the elephants or some such thing for their speed bump.

Their clues took them to a temple area where they had to dissemble a spirit house and take it to the true temple.  This was a Road Block, where they had to remake the spirit house.  In this Road Block, the team member who did not dive for the clue had to assemble the spirit house.  Most teams had to return to the original staging area as they just took the house down without caring about where things went.  In particular, Cindy and Laurence were irritated at their partners for not being able to remember the original set-up.

The teams then took their strange taxi-buses to the bus station, where they had to take a bus to Bangkok.  Four teams were all on the earliest bus: Snowboarders, Brother-Sister, Weird dating Couple, and Laurence and Zac.  Laurence and Zac got tickets for a different bus, which was a first class bus.  They realized this and abandoned it.  However, it seemed like the same thing to me.  Thus, they had to walk back to the station. 

NFL Guy and His Wife and Ernie and Cindy, and the older Couple left at the same time, which left when Laurence and Zac arrived back at the terminal. 

The Twins arrived at the station, but did not have enough money to buy tickets for the bus and to pay their taxi driver.  This was a common problem, as the taxi from the temple to the bus station was expensive and the racers all have limited funds. 

The buses all arrived in Bangkok at various times, not related to when they left, or so it appeared.  The teams then traveled to Bangkok Noi where they fed koi.  However, the twins were out of cash and had to walk.  The first team to feed the fish were Ernie and Cindy, followed by Amani and Marcus and Bill and Cathi.  Ernie and Cindy abandoned their cab, which allowed Amani and Marcus to arrive first at the Pit Stop, with Cathi and Bill close behind and then Ernie and Cindy.

The Twins found a taxi driver who would take them for free to the Bangkok Noi and then another that would take them to Pit Stop.  At around the same time, the Snowboarders asked this school for help, but the lady who was going to find the place disappeared for a while with their clue.

The Snowboarders and Laurence and Zac arrived at the Pit Stop at the same time and Phil told Laurence and Zac that the original bus they were on would have been fine.  They looked upset, but were still in the race.

Jeremy and Sandy arrived 7th place, which leaves the Twins in last place, once again.  It's hard on a leg like this with no equalizers to catch up, especially when you have an extra task. 

A strange thing happened on this leg: the Snowboarders kept talking about their devotion to God.  It's just weird to me, as they never mentioned anything like this before.  Also, when they were at the temple, they kept saying how a temple couldn't defeat the one true God.
