The Amazing Race 14 Ep 8

This week, the teams traveled to Bangkok. When they arrived, Margie & Luke shot into 1st place after completed the 1st challenge which was "screwing on a propeller onto a boat". Once the propeller was connected, the teams were to take the boat across the river. Jaime & Cara finished 2nd. When Tammy & Victor, Michael & Mark, and Jen & Kisha arrived, they all struggled with the challenge. When Michael & Mark and Jen & Kisha finished, both teams decided not to take their backpacks. Tammy & Victor finished last and they remembered Jaime and Cara taking their backpacks, so they went back to get theirs. The detour challenge was a choice between putting dentures in Thai locals' mouths or getting on a party bus and singing karaoke with some Thai locals (I think they were transvestite hookers). Margie & Luke chose the dentures challenge and everyone else chose the karaoke challenge. The only problem was that Michael & Mark and Jen & Kisha didn't have bags or money (and for some strange reason, Kisha left her shoes, too...). None of this surprised me. Both teams have been making costly mistakes for weeks. I've been saying that both teams were the weakest teams of the bunch.
Jen & Kisha decided to finish the leg without their bags. Michael & Mark decided to go back and get their bags without proceeding. Meanwhile, Margie & Luke finished the dentures challenge and arrived at the pitstop first. After the karoke challenge, Jaime & Cara arrived at the pitstop 2nd. both Tammy & Victor and Kisha & Jen arrived at the pitsop within seconds of each other, but Kisha & Jen were told that they had to go back to the boat dock to get their bags/passports, so Tammy & Victor came in 3rd. Meanwhile, Michael & Mark completed the karaoke challenge and arrived at the pitstop. Unfortunately, they were told that they incurred a 2 hour penalty because they paid the cab driver with their personal belongings vs. money. Once again, these guys screw up with following directions/rules! Kisha & Jen went back to get their bags and arrived back at the pitstop. They came in 4th.
To my dismay, this was a non-elimination leg... so, Michael & Mark were spared. They will have to complete a speed bump AND they will have to wait out the remainder of their penalty (they still have around 3 hours left). There is NO WAY they will make it through the next leg, so basically, everyone has a free pass next week.
