Tonight’s The Amazing Race Recap will be a sprint through Manila to make the final three. There will be no roadblocks! Manila is the texting capital of the world so I imagine they will be getting clues on their phones for this episode. Everyone is on the same flight from Cambodia to Manila. It’s a short two and a half hour flight. They all take the same gitney to Lapu Lapu Circle to meet Phil. They are going to be literally sprinting though down. No roadblocks, no detours they work as a team the entire way. Phils urges them not to help each other. lol.
First, they all go to their own team gitney where they get their first clue. Manila is known for having the worst traffic jams in the world. So for their first clue, they have to find a specific dancing traffic director who will hand them their next clue. Hung and Chee and Team Purple were both missed being able to grab the clue from the guy on the first try. 🙁 But the both get it on the second try.
Racing In High Heels And Looking For Lions
All four teams are off to The Mall Of Asia where they have to run a race in high heeled shoes. This is a good way to break an ankle. The trick is apparently to run on your tippy toes! The finish order is Team Beards, The Footballers, Team Purple followed by Hung & Chee.

Next everyone is off to Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world. OMG! I WANT TO GO THERE! When I go to NYC I go to Chinatown and Little Italy every day of my trip if possible. I love Chinatown! Most for the foot massages by old Chinese women. They don’t mess around and your feet feel so much better after days of walking around. One day I stopped for every $10 for ten minute foot massage I passed.
The guys have to find a dancing lion who has the clue in his mouth. There are many lions and the place is huge. The footballers are now in first, Will & James are in second,YAY! Hung and Chee don’t even seem to be in Chinatown. I think their taxi driver screwed them. The beards have dropped to third. Hung and Chee are lost.
No Time For Horsing Around!
The clue in the lion’s mouth sends the racers to a huge Post Office with a clue box out front. This task has them choose a horse drawn carriage and get a list of ingredients for horse feed. They have to shop for the ingredients, mix the feed and then feed their horse. The footballers miss the second clue. Team Purple takes the lead!

This is the final challenge and it is music one! Team Purple will be great at this! YAY! It’s also the flag challenge. I feel like Team Purple would have studied the flags. They listen to four songs and then have to match the cases with the flags on them to the country where they heard that song. There are a lot of cases and flags to choose from. Not just the four needed. Oh and they are not putting the cases in the order they heard the song, they are putting it in the order they heard them on the race. YIKES! This could be hard for the footballers. I don’t think Hung and Chee have made it to the horse feed challenge yet.
Back To The Alliance Working Together
Oh God. Team Purple doesn’t know the flags. They get three out of four wrong on the first try. So do the beards. Hung and Chee arrive. They are going to knock this out quickly. Right now everyone is struggling. They’ve all tried a million things. The final three alliance decides to all work together and not help the footballers. This assures them all final three. OH HELL! They are putting the songs in the order played not in the order they visited the country! READ THE CLUE AGAIN! FINALLY TEAM PURPLE READS THE DAMN CLUE. The Beards get it first! Then Team Purple, Then Hung & Chee. The footballers are pissed. They take a two hour penalty. Hell they should have done that when they got there.

I’m not crying! Team Purple is crying! Then the footballers arrived in the dreaded fourth position. DeAngelo said that the race sucked. The bad out weighed the good. He would never do it again. He could afford to do it all on his own and the million dollars is not life changing for him. What a piss poor sport. I kept waiting for him to laugh and say just kidding. but nope! Never ever has there been such a poor loser on this show. Gary said he had a blast and went to countries he would have never visited on his own. He had a great time.
I predict Hung will still help someone in the final leg. She can’t help herself.
Well, last week you got mad that I said the Boyfriends were nasty.
Today I went to another site and at least half of over 100 comments said the same.
Everyone hates when teams align and feels that it is cheating.
Nobody wants to watch a race where teams ban together to get rid of one other team.
It makes it very boring. And God forbid you’re a fan of the team being targeted. Not fun.
Many people considered it bullying. I don’t think it was bullying, but it ruins everything about the show.
I realize you are in contact with the Boyfriends and think they are great. That’s fine.
Just don’t tell me my opinion was wrong.
And don’t wonder why people don’t comment.
Clearly, you have not been watching TAR for very long. Teams align every season. It’s been a long time since there has been a five team alliance that got all the way to the end. And this year the three team interior alliance made it too. All three teams in the final are great teams that have worked hard. Team Purple has never “gloated” they have always been a bit star struck since one of them has been trying to get on for nine years and watching since he was twelve. The were never ugly Americans. Never lost their temper. Never gave up when they struggled on tasks. They were always good sports.
You can have whatever opinion you like about the show. “Everyone hates alliances” is not an opinion or a fact. Same with saying Team Purple gloats.
And yes I’ve seen the haters attacking the top three on social media and it is disgraceful. Five teams had a strategy that worked for day one. Never in the history of TAR has a five team alliance stayed together through the whole race. Usually there is a lot of back stabbing.
I’m sorry your team didn’t win but I don’t really care if you comment on this or not. You’re kind of a Debbie Downer and this is a show I actually like. It a fun upbeat show with no Covid, lots of beautiful scenery and fun/sometimes ridiculous challenges. It’s a great escape from all the shit happening in the world.
Until you show up spewing shit.
Oh, and you should go comment on that hater site you go to. You seem to fit in better there, when it comes to THIS SHOW anyway.
This is the fun, glad to have a happy show site.
You call this site happy?
That’s hilarious.
Your reading comprehension sucks. We in this forum are happy to have a fun happy show to watch. You know, until you came to suck the fun out of what little we have in 2020.
And what I wonder is why you keep commenting when you can’t take the temperature of this post where a few of us wish to be left alone to enjoy the show without all the dramatic whining about how the game is played EVERY FUCKING YEAR.
Please remove yourself from posting in these comments or I will remove you from the site. If you had not been here so long I would have already done it. Fortunately for you, you have a hater site you can go post at. Had you refreshed yourself on the commenting rules they would have directed you to go stay there.
I would like the boyfriends if they didn’t gloat so much! It was so rude how the 3 teams treated the footballers. Should be interesting to see how the finale shakes out!
I like that the 3 banded together. The football players rode the wave of help as long as they could; I don’t know why they were surprised to be excluded. Next round, there might be 2 teams that help each other and exclude the other one- it’s got to be at least expected by the teams as a possibility.
Hung & Che are my favorites followed by the bearded guys!!!
The footballers took all season and never helped. Hung helps TOO MUCH. I hope she doesn’t help on the final leg. But I fear she will.
I’m happy with any of these teams winning. In my opinion, the safest bet is the beards winning, and they have earned it. And the other two teams are underdogs who are both strong teams and could pull this off.
Wish they had another season ready to go in the can. 🙁
D’Angelo & Gary was the team I was rooting for so now I can just watch w/o being nervous.
AGAIN, they didn’t read the clue. SMH
Should be interesting to see who wins.
I could have sworn the footballers actually said out loud, “In the order we visited the countries” I was terrified they were going to solve first. I am sure one of the teams understood the order before the challenge started. But apparently not. Or they just went with what the others were doing and doubted themselves. ?
Team Purple has been pretty upset by the social media drama and DeAngelo called them and told them they did what they had to do to get to the end. That was sweet. Especially after his nasty reaction at the end. I could see being pissed but no one has ever talked to Phil like that in 32 seasons.
They did say it when they read the clue out loud but I don’t think they comprehended it.
I wasn’t aware that DeAngelo had called them, that was nice of him. I just read his and Gary’s exit interview. Gary explained what D meant by “not life changing” I get it now.
I presumed it meant just what he said, he’s rich and had enough money to travel to all of those places anyway without have to run and get sweaty. It’s like he had no idea what the show was about. So why was he on it at all. Did he not know he would have to know how to spell or have the god given sense to stack watermelons? He seemed to be having fun as long as he was winning.
The Challenge on MTV started last Thursday. I haven’t started that yet. I record it to watch on Saturdays. It’s my me time. lol.
I hope you recorded the episode that aired on Monday, it was like an hour long sneak peek.
The Challenge is the BOMB!
