I wasn't around for Episode #1 so I had to find the episode on YouTube because CBS has like 20 1 min clips and not 1 full clip (why? I have no clue! lol)
Okay, so the teams started off in Los Angeles, California by getting their first clue..
..and had to go to Salvador, Brazil. They had to choose between 2 different flights. When they all got to the airport, Mark & Bill went to the correct American Airlines counter and were first to recieve their boarding passes. Ken & Tina were 2nd.
Nick & Starr and Ken & Tina (aka "Mom & Dad" according to Nick & Starr) decided to form an alliance for the first 2 legs of the race.
The teams that got on the 2nd flight (that lands 3 hours AFTER the 1st flight) are:
Toni & Dallas
Andrew & Dan
Anita & Arthur
Marisa & Brooke
Anthony & Stephanie
When all teams land, they have to take a taxi and find this sandwhich shop:
..and that is where they will all find their next clue!
The 1st flight was delayed so the teams on that flight were only 1 hr 30 mins ahead of the other flight.
When the teams arrive at the sandwich shop, they get a clue saying that they have to pick a vending cart full of candy and go to a popular plaza where they will meet a guy that has their next clue.
Mark & Bill: "This is like driving the worst shopping cart in the world."
It was very hard for each team to navigate the cart without the candy falling off(except Mark & Bill who used their jacket to brace the candy).
And the first team to get their vending cart to the plaza was...
The clue told them to go to a Military Base where they will spend the night in tents. When they arrive, they have to sign-in and that is when they will recieve 1 of 3 departing times.
9:00am Departure:
1st)Terrance & Sarah
2nd) Nick & Starr
3rd) Mark & Bill
4th) Ken & Tina
**At this point, Kelly & Christy still haven't found the sandwhich shop & are in 6th place. Anita & Arthur are in 9th place at this point in the game, with Marisa & Brooke in 10th place.
All teams finally get their vending cart and start to catch up (somewhat). Marisa & Brooke are still in 10th place.
9:30am Departure:
1st) Kelly & Christy
2nd) Andrew & Dan
3rd) Aja & Ty
4th) Andrew & Dan
9:45am Departure:
1st) Toni & Dallas
2nd) Anita & Arthur
3rd) Marisa & Brooke
4th) Anthony & Stephanie
As they depart, they each get a clue telling them to take a taxi to...
..and locate a church that has their next clue.
DETOUR:
Option 1:
Climb up a lot of concrete stairs on their hands & knees and answer correctly a mystery question. If they fail, they will have to do it all over again.
Option 2:
Go to a tall outdoor elevator and climb down a cargo net 240 ft down to the street. Only 3 teams on the cargo net at 1 time. First come, first served!
Everybody did the cargo net, except for Andrew & Dan.
Nick & Starr finished 1st:
From there, they head to the 1st pit stop of the season!
1st Team to Arrive at Pit Stop:
(Anita & Arthur in last place at this point.)
When Andrew & Dan reached the top of the stairs, their mystery question was "How many stairs have you climbed?" and the boys had no idea so they guessed 40 and it was wrong. The correct answer was 53. So the boys climbed back up and counted each step and gave the right answer.
And the first team to be elimated from the Amazing Race Season 13 is..
Anita & Arthur
:-(
Join me this Sunday for Episode #2! :-D
Stay tuned...
