Amazing Race 2011: Who got eliminated on the Amazing Race Season 19 Episode 2?
The Ledger-Enquirer live blogged the Amazing Race Season 19 Episode 2. Read a full recap below:
The teams start Leg 2 in Taipei, Taiwan, where the teams learn that they'll travel to Indonesia -- 2,400 miles to Yogyakarta, a city in Indonesia. The teams also learn that this leg is a double elimination.
Everyone grabs a cab to the airport. Cindy and Ernie, currently in first place, reach the airport first and learn there's no flights to Indonesia tonight. That means everyone meets up at the airport, where everyone gets their tickets.
The teams at the airport don't know if anyone got eliminated at the end of Leg 1. They haven't seen Bill and Cathi, and they wonder if they got booted from the race. They didn't, and they arrive at the airport early in the morning. The rest of the teams clap as they come into view.
The teams get on the same plane and take off for Jakarta. When they arrive, they run to the train station in search for the right train to Yogyakarta.
Justin and Jennifer, siblings, are arguing while waiting for the train. The other teams judge them from afar.
The train takes off for the overnight trip. Once it arrives, the teams race off the train and run to the awaiting cabs. They're all going to Goa Jomblang, a massive cave. Everyone's pretty much neck-and-neck, with all other teams within sight of each other.
Bill and Cathi reach the clue in first place and learn their Road Block: Spelunk. They'll descend 160 feet into the cave, hunt down two items -- a Japanese mask and a spooky knife -- to get the next clue.
Bill and Cathi, however, must complete a Speed Bump before they can do the Road Block. First, they must untangle a massive knotted rope. They're in great spirits as the other teams arrive.
Liz and Marie are in third place. Amani and Marcus are in fourth place. Jeremy and Sandy are in fith place. Ehtan and Jenna are in eighth place. Ron and Bill are in last place.
The first group has reached the bottom of the cave and are now searching for the items. They stumble upon an altar with the items on some sticks. They grab the stuff and head back. They then see a massive bambo ladder they must climb to the top.
Bill, Cindy and one of the twins are in the lead, but Bill gets ahead because of his long legs. He hands the items to the clue guy and learns the Detour: Shake your money maker or be a ticket taker.
Money maker: One team memer must learn a traditional dance while other plays traditional music. Once they earn $30,000 rupees, they can leave.
Ticket taker: The teams must work as motor bike parking attendants and earn $15,000 rupees before they can go.
Once done, they must go to an orphanage and give not only the money they earned but also notice a sign that tells them to hand over all the cash they've got on them. Handing over their donated money will get them the clue to the Pit Stop. Handing over all their money means they won't have to come back to the orphanage once they reach the Pit Stop.
The twins head to money maker. Bill and Cathi and Ernie and Cindy go to ticket taker.
Ethan and Jenna are in eighth place. Laurence and Zac are in ninth place. Kaylani and Lisa are in 10th place. Ron and Bill are in last place. Eighth through last place have just finished the cave task. They hop in their cabs and head off to the Detour.
Twins Liz and Marie are desperately dancing for tips. Meanwhile, Ernie and Cindy snagged a great spot where all the bikers turn in to park. Bill and Cathi have a much worse spot and are falling behind.
Ernie and Cindy just got enough money and are in first place. They leave in a cab.
Amani and Marcus are at money maker. The snowboarders, Andy and Tommy, are at ticket taker with Justin and Jennifer.
Bill and Cathi get enough cash and are in second place. Liz and Marie are in third place.
Ernie and Cindy arrive at the orphanage and donate their cash. They get a symbol, but don't know what it means. They ask someone, who tells them Kraton.
The Pit Stop for this leg is Kraton Palace, where the current sultan of Jakarta lives.
Bill and Cathi are in second place. Liz and Marie are in third place.
Ernie and Cindy arrive at the Pit Stop in first place, but Phil tells them there's a problem. He tells them they must return to the orphanage and give them all their cash. Cindy starts losing it as they run back to the orphanage.
Meanwhile, snowboarders Andy and Tommy are the first to read the message at the orphanage, and they hand over all their cash. They ask if they should take a cab, and then remember they've got no cash. They start running toward the Pit Stop.
Ethan and Jenna finish the Detour, but then realize they don't have the clue and don't know the name of the orphanage.
Justin and Jenna are in fifth place. They fail to read the message. Jeremy and Sandy are in sixth place. They don't read the message. Amani and Marcus are in seventh place. They don't read the message.
Liz and Marie reach the Pit Stop and learn they must return to the orphanage. Laurence and Zac, however, read the message and hand over all their cash, as do Kaylani and Lisa.
Bill and Cathi are in third place, but they didn't give all their money and are on their way back to the orphanage.
Andy and Tommy are first place. They win a five-night trip from Travelocity.
Ernie and Cindy reach the orphanage, hand over all their cash and start running back to the Pit Stop.
Justin and Jennifer are still arguing as they make their way to the Pit Stop. They head back to the orphanage, as do Amani and Marcus.
Laurence and Zac are second place.
Ethan and Jenna, already having a bad day, are now on their second trip to the orphanage.
Kaylani and Lisa are third place. Ernie and Cindy are fourth. Liz and Marie are fifth. Jeremy and Sandy are sixth. Bill and Cathi are seventh. Justin and Jennifer are eighth.
