Sink or Swim - Teams dive deeper into the countryside of Thailand for the second leg of the race, encountering catfish-infested waters and pomelo-filled rivers.
Enjoy the show!

Bangkok looks like a nightmare. Way too busy and crazy for me.

One of my allergy triggers is swamp grass. I'm guessing I would completely stink at this particular challenge.

I love that attitude: “Knee deep in baby poop with my kids, this is nothing,”

It looks like the leaves wrap has to be a lovely, perfect green. The deaf dad almost made it, just needed that 3/4 combo.

Hearing impaired dad did well, he is second to get approved. Well done!

Tech guy in and out fast, even though he got there so late because they went to wrong dock at the canal.

Poor Steve, he doesn’t seem to realize how precise each arrangement must be.

The leading team is really doing well! They've got good skills, and being familiar with the language really helps (or a version of it).

So much time wasted, because they don’t take enough time to learn.
Victors family sells everything almost that they need, they did well choosing stocking..

I hate commercial breaks that don’t let us see who made first?  |

Is it Rob and Corey, or Jocelyn and Victor?
Team in first place is….Jocelyn and Victor! $4000 is their win.

I feel so bad when they forget something, and have to return, this time it’s a fanny pack.

Malaina and her gum drive me crazy.
Seems like some of the judges for these bouquets are more lenient with some than others.
I feel for them, it's got to be so frustrating.

It took me awhile to figure out what that 3/4/3 pattern meant. When I did I thought, oh that was so obvious, why didn’t I see it?

Haste makes waste. Dad and daughter, wanted to do it all in one load of the scoop, and sunk the boat.

Oh wow, they sunk their boat! I like how Ashlie and Todd had so much fun doing their shopping challenge and interacting with the locals. Cool experience that will make memories! |

Some teams are not about to share or work together.
Elizabeth and Iliana miss one item and have to go back.

They knew it was phonetic pronunciation so you can’t just show them your list. You have to speak it. Some teams wasted time showing their list instead of pronouncing.

Phil try’s to fake them out and they hold their breath, and then are so thrilled they are still in the race. |

Robin and Chelsea made it! Yay
But, Elizabeth and Iliana did not make it. They are happy they got to do it together.

Good episode! I enjoyed these challenges, and most of the teams too.
The team going home was not a favorite, so I'm okay with them going.

I wasn’t disappointed the mom daughter look a likes left, and was pleased that Robin and Chelsea made it. The latter worked so hard, struggled through their challenges. They are grateful to be there, so I know they will take it well when their time comes.

Absolutely thrilled that Jocelyn & Victor, both are 49, are the first place team again. I am over having the first and second place teams always being the two male athletic ones. Yes being familiar with the culture and language helps, take total advantage when you can.
So glad to see Rob & Cory, (CODA & Dad), do so well. Rob, the dad rocked the lotus flower part.
Todd & Ashley, Orange Team, shocked the heck out of me doing the shopping challenge. I can't believe how patience they were doing that and respectful to each other and the locals. Oh, Todd is a special ed teacher. Luv'ed, luv'ed their attitude.
The other teams did well and no one panicked or had a meltdown.
Toward the end of the lotus flower roadblock I think the judges were lowering their standards as some of those posies didn't look that great.
Morgan & Lean, the sisters in the light blue shirts tend to annoy with their relationship dynamic.
Joel & Garrett is that Team Purple or dark blue or Team Beard -- Grey Beard? Wow, lucky they found their fanny pack.
It is unfortunate that the last 3 to 4 teams were all the female female teams and the energy between females, especially sisters and mother sisters can be annoying. All seem to be struggling.
Glad to see Robin & Chelsey (Team Purple) still in it. Robin can run when needed.

Malaina was chewing gum, oh maybe that is why she was swallowing her words.
Luv how they show the shop tenders the pronunciation list (which is against the rules) and yell at them and pronounce it badly and expect to be understood.
The one mother and daughter were annoying. I certainly would carry a pen or pencil and check mark each item.

A very good episode I'm thrilled my favorite two teams were 1& 2 again.
