Chickens, American Idol- Burkina Faso style, and a new twist in the race makes this episode of the race fantastic...
"Ron suffered a painful hernia. Teams traveled to Burkina Faso, where they had to milk a camel. Some teams coaxed camels into providing milk; others had more difficulty. Siblings Azaria/Hendekea quickly learned words during the DETOUR and came in first. Lorena/Jason caught up to Marianna/Julia, and they were neck and neck in the DETOUR. Lorena/Jason narrowly beat the sisters to the mat, and the sisters were eliminated. Eight teams remain. Who will be eliminated next? "

~over-all, a very nice episode...

and she said "Shh.. Dad, you're scaring them!"..haha..
and the task are entertaining, especially the dance,
even though it's quite unfair...
i hope jenn and nathan are next to go,
they're so annoying, especially jenn..
whining about azaria and hendekea being first again...
If you want to be first, do your best....
and don't blame them if they get first,
because it's not their fault if they are good...
