We are now four episodes into the Amazing Race 13 and it seems the gloves are finally coming off. On this leg of the race relationships were mended while others were strained. But in the end the two girls from South Carolina were eliminated from the race. At least they got a hug from Phil’s dad in the deal. After last weeks confrontation between Christy/Kelly and Nick/Starr I thought thinks were over but with news about Starr’s U-Turn beg things got a little messy. Although we didn’t get to see it, Kelly and Christy confronted Starr about asking Aja to U-Turn them. Apparently it didn’t end too well as both teams are even more at each others throats and it didn’t change at all during this leg.

Since everyone was in Bolivia in order to get to the next destination of New Zealand they all had to drive directly to the airport. There some tempers fumed as Kelly and Christy tried to eaves drop onto everyone else’s flight plans. Aja and Ty, who are dating long distance, also had a few tense moments as Aja was trying to control. Ty called her Fidel at one point but they ended up making up before the flight, which everyone was on. In New Zealand the teams ran to the marked cars and were off to find a knot. To get their next clue they had to simply untie the knot, where their clue was hidden inside. Some times had some trouble adjusting to the opposite side of the road driving. Luckily no teams were in an accident but Ty did run over the curb and get a flat tire. Aja wasn’t too happy about it and it kind of set the mood for them for the rest of the leg.

Who would have thought the stupid mistakes would continue on the Amazing Race 13? Well they did and because of one small taxi ride the geeks were eliminated from the Amazing Race. Before the race even began we were greeted by a small argument that revolved once again Nick and Starr. Apparently Christy’s sports bra fell off of a ledge while it was trying and she though Starr pushed it overboard. Starr said it wasn’t her but Christy and Kelly wouldn’t believe it, adding them to the “we hate Nick/Starr” group. When the teams left they all arrived at the airport where they were told to head to Bolivia. There they learned they had to find a statue and wait for the mornings paper. Since it was late at night all the teams reached the statue at the same time, giving them their first overnighter on the streets of Bolivia.

The next morning Nick tried to smooth things over with Kelly/Christy but they wouldn’t’ take it. They didn’t want to make friends on the race and basically shrugged him off. When the papers arrived everyone jumped on the delivery guy. The frat boys quickly found the ad in the paper saying to head to a hat store and they were off. Tina/Ken were next who took Nick/Starr along with them. Others followed with the southern belles and Kelly/Christy pulling up the rear. At the hat store the teams had to first buy a hat to get their next clue. The clue pointed them to a detour where they would either ride a rickety bike through the streets of Bolivia or find a group of musicians and lead them through the streets.

The Amazing Race is back for its 13th season and after winning their sixth Emmy in a row they have a lot to stand up for. Starting once again in Los Angeles, California the new 11 teams began from the Colosseum in California. After getting to know the teams the race began as the teams learned they were to fly to Belize for their first leg. Airport troubles once again struck as most of the teams went into the wrong line for tickets. After finding the new line Terence/Sarah, Mark/Bill, Aja/Ty, Nick/Starr, Kelly/Christy and Ken/Tina landed the first flight out.

While in line the frat brothers Andrew and Dan mentioned how they hoped the flight would be delayed, giving them a better shot as the second flight was three hours behind. Some didn’t take to that too well but it did of course jinx the flight as indeed the first flight to Belize was delayed, but not enough to arrive after the second flight. When landing in Belize the teams had to first find a sandwich shop where they would get a clue to transport a candy cart to a plaza. Terence and Sarah pulled out ahead quickly thanks to Sarah being able to talk the language and they landed the first spot on the sign in sheet in the end, giving them a 9:00 departing time.
