Episode 4: Baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... an airplane flies over the ocean ...Phil Woods: Teams are now on their way to Luxor, Egypt. This leg of the race will mirror a leg from the real Amazing Race series, season 5. Teams were informed of this when they received their first clue. Will they remember? Probably not.Carlos: A U-turn is ahead... kind of scary when you a strong team. Everyone wants to use it on you to slow you down.
Kim: I mean, who else would we use it on but Carlos and HLC? Somehow they are the fastest team.
Fabi: Whats a U-Turn? No, really. I never watched this show before...
Tanya: Someone is going to have to do both detours. Whoever doesn't get U-turned will only have to do one.
Fabi: Oh, ok.
Ashley: I am a little worried we will get U-Turned because off Katz. She just has that personality that makes you want to U-turn someone.
... the plane lands and racers go searching for the marked taxis ...Gabe: Here, here, Kyle, come on, down here. I see them.
Kyle: ugh, I hate running.
Kim: Let's follow them, they look like they know where they are going.
Carlos: HLC, run! There is a U-Turn!
HLC: But the birds here are so pretty...
Katz: Travel to the north flowing river that is essential to life here in Egypt. Once there, look for the red and yellow flag.
Transportation Challenge: Teams had to drive a taxi through a street course in order to receive their next clue. Majority of teams completed this with no issues. Only one team fliipped their taxi... I forget who, so u are lucky!Phil Woods: Teams are now racing to the Nile River. Once there, they will find the U-Turn. Will it be used? Lets find out.
... the first team arrives at the Nile ...Amanda: We choose to U-Turn Carlos and HLC. Sorry.
Kim: Not Sorry.
Amanda: Read the clue.
Kim: You read the clue!
Amanda: Herd it or Haul It. In Herd It, teams must deliver 10 sheep from Banana Island to the shepherd on the other side of the island. In order to receive your next clue, find FOUR pictures of sheep that total TEN. You must use FOUR pictures but you cannot go over TEN sheep.
Kim: I dont know if I like Sheep, what is Haul it?
Amanda: Ugh. In Haul it, teams must travel 3 miles to pigeon farm and use a traditional device to retrieve water from the well. You will then carry that water, via donkey, to the cistern. In order to receive your next clue, spell out DONKEY and WATER in hieroglyphics.
Detour Recap: Gabe/Kyle, Carlos/HLC, Kim/Amanda, Fabi/Tanya did the Herd it Challenge with no problems.
Katz/Ashley, Debbie/Jared did Haul it with easy. Carlos/HLC also did haul it. Gabe: We were the first one to find our ten sheep and get them on the boat.
Kyle: It wasn't really hard to find them but it was hella hard to get them on the boat and stay on the boat.
Gabe: That one kept running away.
Kyle: Probably thought they were going to the slaughter.
... on the bank of the Nile ...
Ashley: Make your way to the temple in Habu that is dedicated to Ramsey III.
Katz: I hope we don't have to go into a a tomb. I am claustrophobic.
Ashley: Something you'll have to get over.
... taxis are shown driving to Habu ...Kim: We are in 2nd behind Gabe and Kyle. Can you go any faster sir? Rapido!
Amanda: We are in Egypt, Kim. I don't think Rapido is the word you want to use.
Kim: It works on the TV show!
Taxi Driver: Whats wrong with the lady in that taxi? She is flapping her arms like shes ready to take flight.
Racer; Oh, thats just Kim.
Taxi Driver: Glad I have you two!
... back at the Nile ...
Carlos: Come on, HLC! I got Donkey. I need you to do water. You got this!
HLC(Crying): I quit. You treat me horrible Carlos!
Carlos: WHAT? Give me the marker.
HLC(Crying): I'm so done!
... In Habu ...
Gabe: One team member must choose a large dig site to use archaeological tools to dig in a plot of sand to unearth a scarab; a beetle stone carving which is a part of Egyptian mythology. To receive your next clue, make it through tomb 7 of Crypt Raider...
Kyle: You got this.
Gabe: No, I think you do.
Kim: I got this...

Ashley: i'll go.
Debbie: I'll do it.

Gabe(Moving into room 2): This is easy... I am feeling really good about this leg.
Debbie(sitting in the middle of room 1): I don't even understand what i am supposed to be doings
Tanya( almost at the end of tomb 1): smoooooth sailing. just get rid of the sand, don't leave any holes in the ground and we will be finished in no time.
Ashley: I think I know what i am doing... oh man, Carlos is here now! We are all at the same place! I don't really have anything against Carlos but HLC cursed at me the other day and i wasn't feeling it.
... at the end of Tomb 7 ...
Gabe: DONE! Done! Done! Here I am! Where is my clue? I need to get out of here. The next closest team is in tomb room 3. Most are still in room 1.
Archaeologist: Here is your next clue...
Gabe: What?
Carlos: So I kind of took joy in passing Kim and Amanda after they U-turned us... but I get it. They can't beat us fair and square and they still cant beat us with an advantage...... Tanya gets her clue ...Tanya: A toy store maybe? I don't know.
