Tomorrow I will get all the next clues out, Thursday is never good for me

Last time on the Amazing Race

Eleven teams set out from Indonesia, headed for the African island country of Madacascar.

In a race to catch an early plane, the leading pack of six was broken up, creating three distinctive groups on the flights. The earliest flight held Chris and Kevin, Matt and Nabil, TK and Rachel, and Shannon and Shanon. This ment that Starr and Dallas, and George and Maybe had to settle for their own flight later in the day, but still before the remaining five teams took off.

On the ground, a race to get to a yield first caused Chris and Kevin, and Matt and Nabil to make a dash to a train station to get in prime position. Chris and Kevin managed to not only beat Matt and Nabil to the station, but also catch the earliest train, leaving Matt and Nabil alone at the train station, while the other two teams took a bus allowing them to arrive at the yield second and third.

At the yeild, Matt and Nabil decided to yield Dallas and Starr, before completing the roadblock. In this roadblock, teams had to do a skydive that would test their ability to deal with a fear of heights, which found Shannon and TK making up time.

In the lone battle for fifth and six, the yield allowed George and Maybe to break what had been a neck and neck battle between them and Dallas and Starr to take over fifth place.

...

In the second pack of racers, all teams arrived within five minutes of eachother, with Albert and Walter and Cedric and Claudia edging out the rest of the teams by taking the bus. This slight lead proved essential with team needed to take off ten minutes apart from eachother and the yield already used, forcing last place Zazie and Chao to wait over half an hour to get thier turn to jump.

Dylan picked up time for his team showing no fear of the jump, while Cedric had his share of problems with leaving the plane. Meanwhile things only got worse for last place Zazie and Chao with Zazie stalling for a long period of time in the air before an eventual jump.

...

A detour that forced teams to either hunt down items in a crowded market, or chow down on lizard found Matt and Nabil eating up gaining time on the rest of the teams, while Shannon and Shanon after a bad taxi ride continued to have bad luck, falling out of the top three.

In the tight race for the final five spots, Sara and Edward, and Cedirc and Claudia making good use of the locals to make up ground on the pack leader Albert and Walter. Dylan and Grace also found themselves somewhat lost in the market, as did Zazie and Chao.

...

Thanks to their early luck in catching the first train of the morning, Chris and Kevin came in first for the second leg in a row, arriving at 11:05 AM.

Not entirely sure when the next leg starts, I have a midterm friday so likely not untill after that.

[LlamaFluff]

In a surprising twist of events, Cedric and Claudia found out they liked Madagascar so much they wished to stay there and have left the race. Zazie and Chao are now back in the race, and will start in 10th place.

Leg coming ~Sunday

[Phil Keoghan]

Leg six go!

[ShadowLurker]

Is this game still going?

[LlamaFluff]

yes, I just have horrible access this weekend, not enough to take care of the game

[Phil Keoghan]

I just had a major computer crash and lost about everything I had for the leg in progress, so for the couple people finishing up, expect some delays.

**I think everything that was lost has been recovered. If anyone is missing a clue that needs one let me know ASAP. Now if you excuse me I need to go fire that one editor.

After landing in South Africa, teams had to join forces in an intersection. From the first flight, TK and Rachel, and Matt and Nabil, Dallas and Starr, and George and Maybe, and Shannon and Shanon, and Chris and Kevin joined together. From the second flight, Albert and Walter, and Dylan and Grace, and Sara and Edward, and Zazie and Chao hooked up.

At a detour where teams had to chose between studying photographs, or taking a dip with penguins, only Shannon and Shannon, and Chris and Kevin from the first flight went to go swim, as did Zazie and Chao, and Sara and Edward from the second flight. In the water, several near drownings involving Shannon and Edward occurred, setting both teams back quite a ways.

After arriving at the roadblock, teams learned that they were now separated, pitting former rivals against each other as the pitstop drew near. Arriving first to the roadblock, TK and Nabil battled in a task to make a nature reserve more green, by planting native shrubs. In a close contest, one team came away slightly on top.

In what turned in a battle for third place, Starr and George raced neck and neck through the process, as did Shanon and Kevin, duking it out for fifth place. In the second pack, Walter and Grace found themselves nearly on identical paces, trying to claim seventh.

Bringing up the rear was the plant off between Sara and Zazie, who quickly found the gap between the two separating, as the previous allies battled to stay out of last.

1st – TK and Rachel (9:14 AM)
2nd – Matt and Nabil (9:28 AM)
3rd – George and Maybe (9:45 AM)
4th – Dallas and Starr (9:55 AM)
5th – Shannon and Shanon (10:17 AM)
6th – Chris and Kevin (10:23 AM)
7th – Dylan and Grace (11:01 AM)
8th – Albert and Walter (11:07 AM)
9th – Sara and Edward (11:40 AM)
