On last weeks Amazing Race a colorful leg sent divorces Kelly and Christy packing. This week the remaining five teams (finally) leave New Delhi, India in hopes of reaching Kazakhstan…. very nice. Nick and Starr were, once again, the first out of the gate since they are “oh so amazing”. Toni and Dallas were not far behind but once they caught up the sparks began to fly. Dallas and Starr began to flirt once again and decided to work together, with their mom and bother, to gain seats on the first flight out. At the airport all the teams met up for some airport drama. Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas got the first flight out while Ken/Tina and Terrence/Sarah fought to also get on the flight. Although Ken and Tina left before Terrence and Sarah, they were able to gain the last seats and flew away in the first plane. Terrence and Sarah then got the last tickets on the second flight while Dan and Andrew left a few hours behind them.

After landing in Kazakhstan the three teams on the first flight rushed to the first location: a chicken factory. There they realized they couldn’t do anything until 7:30 in the morning, creating an equalizing and allowing Terrence/Sarah and Dan/Andrew to catch up. When the gates finally did open everyone rushed to the clue box. It was time for the rounds Road Block where one team member would have to search through several chickens looking for a golden egg. Inside the clue was also the last Fast Forward for the season. Both Terrence/Sarah and Nick/Starr rushed to bypass all tasks, meaning one would have to return to finish the rest of the leg. Inside the chicken coupe Toni was first to find an egg. She and Dallas then rushed to find a crane truck while Andrew and Tina found an egg. They ended up leaving around the same time and both were on their way to find a crane.

On the last I Love Money a love triangle forced the game into more drama then its seen before. But on the latest outing the show went overboard with maneuvers and game play never seen before on a VH1 show. I’m surprised how much like Survivor and Big Brother the show is becoming and its adding a lot to it for sure. When the next morning after Heat’s removal comes, 12 Pack realizes his best friend is gone and it forces him to play the game. He decides to align with over half the other team, asking them to throw the challenge and he’ll vote out White Boy. 12 Pack knows, or thinks he knows, that he can do this since he wants to be captain for the next round. After approaching Boston, Brandi and Megan, 12 Pack’s plan gets a green light as they agree to align and agree to throw the challenge to get their teammate Whiteboy out of the house.

When the house gets the call for the challenge the captains are locked in. 12 Pack is easily chosen for the Gold Team while Chance steps up as captain for the Green Team. At a local soccer course the challenge is explained and everyone learns that Hottie’s stupidity is the basis of the challenge. On the Flavor of Love the girls were asked to cook an entire chicken for Flave’s mom. Hottie was the only one to microwave her chicken, causing a bit of a salmonella issue as it wasn’t cooked….. at all. For I Love Money that moment was fitted to a chicken capitulate mission that was split into two parts. After three teammates put together the catapult, the remaining four would have to catch five chickens using aprons. The first team to get five chickens on the dinner table would win and send one of the opposing members house.

On the Green Team the challenge throwing started early with Boston and Megan being two of the three members to build the catapult. They worked, or lack therefore, with Chance who basically put the catapult together himself. Over on the Gold Team was 12 Pack, Pumpkin and Toastee putting together the catapult. They worked well together and quickly put their slinging machine together, just as they planned it. While the Gold Team slung their chickens into the air, quickly catching three, the Green Team finally got theirs together. After quickly catching two it was obvious the plan might fail but Boston secretly screwed up a few chickens, forcing the team to go down hill from there. In the end the Gold Team just squeaked out a win. The only interesting part from the catchers was Rodeo getting slapped in the face by a flying chicken. She laughed it off with her famous cackle but since they won she didn’t seem to care too much.

Since the plan went as well…. planned most of the Green Team were happy with the loss. Only the Stallionaires were a bit angry and WhiteBoy seemed to realize the challenge was thrown. Chance and Whiteboy then went to intimidate Boston, hoping he would reveal their plan but he played sick, once again, and they left him alone after a few pranks. Once the two guys left him alone, Boston decided to celebrate with Brandi who just happened to be showering at the time. She didn’t like Boston joining her and it ended with a scream from Brandi and a laugh from Megan who was standing just outside.

While Brandi and Boston spent some not so fun time in the shower, Whiteboy took the time to talk to to Megan and wanted to see if the team threw the challenge. She says that she didn’t throw it but Whiteboy sees through her. He knows he’s on the chopping block and tried to make Megan realize that they had to keep the strong. That little chat seemed to flop Brandi’s thoughts as she agreed with him and agreed to Boston, Brandi and Destiney going up on the chopping block. The two then created a new alliance but if Brandi pulled through Whiteboy would have to do the same for her next time. Not sure exactly how that would happen since if Brandi doesn’t go into the Box next time then Whiteboy will have to put a stallionare in there. I really don’t see that happening.

The next morning Megan warns Brandi but basically told her to put herself in the box. She didn’t say much and just agreed to it but Boston didn’t. When Brandi told Boston that he may go in he didn’t take it to easily and wondered why she was going against the plan. When it was time to go into the vault, everyone voted for Boston/Brandi/Destiney to be up for elimination. Although Destiney and Brandi took the news easily, Boston didn’t. He grabbed his check in hopes of running the 15 minute time limit out and he almost pulled through with it. Following that little spat from Boston, Brandi easily put her check in while Destiney wouldn’t do it. Whiteboy grabbed at Boston, forcing the host to come in to stop any type of fight. After Destiney puts hers in more drama goes down as Boston still won’t put his in. With only 54 seconds left the check goes in the box and all hell breaks loose. Boston freaks on everyone, screaming at both Megan and Brandi. It wasn’t pretty and is hands down one of the biggest freak outs of any VH1 show.

Following the reveal of the three nominees to the Green Team Boston wanted to leave but its 12 Pack and the power outing that makes him stay. After crying for a few minutes he gave in and went to lunch. All 12 Pack wanted to do was find out who turned on who and he jumped right into things. While the girls were giving their side of the story Boston moved away from the table but he had a reason to. Brandi revealed she was the one who turned by voting for Boston and t seems pretty clear she’ll be going home. When he could choose one person to spend time with 12 Pack chose Boston. The two are friends and he trust Boston but his actions seem kind of strange to him. One thing came from the chat and that was Boston didn’t vote for WhiteBoy, which could have possibly saved him as Destiney also had three.

Back at the house 12 Pack called a team meeting to see who his team wanted to be kicked out. Although he wanted a team vote, 12 Pack revealed that he gave Destiney his word to keep her in. Pumpkin and Toastee didn’t agree with that as he wanted a team vote yet wouldn’t vote out Destiney if they wanted to. They claim that he wanted to vote out the biggest competitor out of the three and his mind flips when he realizes that. Pumpkin realizes that 12 Pack wants to keep Destiney as she’s “dating” Entertainer and flips out in her normal way. After slamming the door about 20 times Pumpkin pulls out another famous quote which I won’t mention here in hopes of keeping this as PG as possible.

At the elimination it was time for 12 Pack to choose either Brandi, Boston or Destiney to bounce. When allowed to give a few words before 12 Pack chose, Brandi opened up about throwing the challenge. Boston didn’t reveal at first that he threw the challenge but after Brandi told everyone about the plan Boston opened up to say that Megan was involved as well. The two kiddies, Brandi and Boston, continued to fight calling each other names which kind of caused 12 Pack to give Destiney her check first. With that there were two left to go: Brandi and Boston. In the end 12 Pack chose to save Brandi, forcing Boston’s check to bounce. Although the two were friends it is a game and Boston was forced to leave the mansion and the game.

Starting off on the newly back from Tribal Council Malakal beach, we seem to have some tension. Ozzy and Tracy don’t seem to be getting along as Ozzy is taking the leadership role a little to far it seems. She says he does everything around camp and basically tells them what and how to do things and well Tracy doesn’t like to take orders! There seemed to be an argument about the chickens apparently and when to kill them. Both didn’t seem to want to kill them yet so I was kind of confused on that one. I guess all they wanted us to figure out was Ozzy was a threat (who didn’t see that one coming) and Tracy can’t stand him.

Over at Arai things looked really bad. They were all shivering in their cave and all the girls were complaining. James didn’t like that too much as he hates complaining and basically told them to shut up and just ’survive’. Kathy was taking it the worst and let us know that she doesn’t really want to be there. They said it’s the worst decision she made, to go on Survivor, and tried to blink herself off the island ala ‘I Dream of Gene’.

The rain clouds seemed to steer clear over at Malakal as they had sunny weather and were frolicking on the beach. Erik and Ozzy bounded over climbing coconut trees and Cirie had a few good one liners describing their budding bond. She also had a few choice words about Ozzy’s demands as he forced her to help row out to deep water. We all know Cirie isn’t the best in the water and apparently this little move to make her go out further then she liked could change up the game as she re-evaluates who really is on her side and not.

The reward challenge was a very interesting one. The tribes were pretty neck and neck throughout the entire thing until the puzzle. Cirie really controlled her tribe well, except for the opposite directions a few times, and quickly got Malakal through the course. Eliza didn’t have much trouble getting them to move the wheel where she wanted, she just went a little slower. In the end Malakal FINALLY won a challenge as a new tribe. They won shampoo and a day with food and a hot shower. Ozzy basically said Tracy was going to Exile and screwed her over as she didn’t get to go to the reward. I guess that’s what she gets for wanting to kill the chicken.

At the reward Malakal pigged out and it seemed Erik and Ozzy’s bond is more then just friendship but could lead to an alliance. Ozzy seems to be taking Erik under is wing and doesn’t seem to be all about just the favorites anymore. Nothing too exciting happened at the reward, other then Ami and Amanda’s naked shower. Ok maybe something did happen after all.

Arai wasn’t having any fun it seems as depression set in. Kathy was having it harder then ever as the tribe didn’t sleep for a few days straight and were confined to their cave. In there we saw a few bugs and bats, the always unwelcome house guests. The next morning was sunny for once on the Malakal beach, but Kathy had enough. She was missing her family and couldn’t feel ‘vibrations’ from them. Jeff made a very rare appearance to their beach to catch up on what was going on and most likely take Kathy back with him. He tried to tell her how well she’s done, even though she’s had it rougher then most; but he couldn’t talk her out of it. Arai lost another tribemate thanks to a non-tribal council and was now even with Malakal.

Before we could get to the immunity we had a short view of Malakal post-reward. It seems Cirie was worried about Ozzy’s arrogance, similar to Tracy, and talked to Amanda about it. She seemed to agree, but I’m sure she doesn’t. They basically discussed how Ozzy would never vote for Erik to go, and would therefore be controlling one more thing in the vote. It was interesting, to say the least, to see the power shift in that tribe. At first it was Cirie holding on the cards but now it seems Ozzy holds the power to decide who leaves.

The immunity challenge was VERY interesting and very fun to watch. It was a new one for the show and had the survivors swimming out for puzzle pieces, then being drug back to shore by riding on the pieces. Ozzy went out for most of Malakal and they once again had a very early lead. It all came down to the puzzle and this is where Arai caught up. Eliza and Jason laid out the puzzle and studied it before actually putting it together. This was a smart move and once again Arai caught up just in time to pull out another immunity win.

Malakal was once again all crazy with their voting. Ami had things thought out, kind of confusing though, and wanted herself,  Erik and Tracy to vote for Ozzy. Ami and Cirie would then vote for Erik to leave with Ozzy and voting for Tracy to leave. That would give Ozzy the big boot, but alas his new friendship with Ozzy wouldn allow that. It then came down to Erik and Tracy. Ozzy wanted Tracy gone and it all came down if Amanda would betray him or not and in the end she didn’t and went with her lover instead. Although Tracy put up a great fight at Tribal Council, she was voted out with all the votes but her own. She was a great player, being a fan, and will be missed.

Next week it seems Cirie and Ami go on a hunt for something. They didn’t really show what it was be apparently it’s food! The girls over at Arai seem to be on a hunt of their own, for a new alliance that is. Ami pulls Natalie aside and promises her F4 with the two to of them with Alexis and Amanda. Could an all girl alliance finally make it to the end?
