The Amazing Race next leg was held in Accra, Ghana in West Africa. The teams had to travel 3100 miles from London. The first to depart was Jill and Thomas.
In Accra, thay had to make their way to Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park built as atribute to the father of Ghanaian independence. Acrra seems to be a whole new world to the teams noticing the litter, the beggars, the vendors carrying their wares on top of their heads and taxi drivers that were very fast and daring as they darted though the traffic!
The next clue took them to the crowded Makola Market where 1 team member had to sell as many sunglasses as it took to reach 15 cedis, about 10 dollars. Brook quickly raked in the cash and got the next clue. They had to find Peace Motor Spare Parts for the next clue. Their next task was either Tune In or Check Out.
In Tune In, teams had to climb a ladder and install an antenna to the owner's specifications. Once successfully installed, the team will receive their next clue! In Check Out, teams had to go to a woodcarving shop where coffins are created to the lifestyle of their future occupants, e.g.,a piano, a fish, etc... Hmmmm....Is this not interesting??? These custom design coffins must cost a lot, unless their labor is cheap!!!! Once the coffin is chosen, the team had to transport to a showroom hauling the coffin through the street. There they will receive the next clue!
Wow!!! It is all girl power on this episode! Go, girls!!!! Home shopping hosts, Brook Roberts, 27, and teammate Claire Champlin, 30, were the big winners! They won a 10 day trip to Hawaii from Travelocity! The dynamic duo was closely followed by Katie Seamon,23, and Rachel Johnston, 24, beach volleyball players!!!
Who were eliminated? Sad to say, the birthright mother/ daughter team, Andie Dekroon, 43, a stay at home mom, and Jenna Sykes, 21, student. Well, at least they had some precious time bonding! It might not be the ideal location, but nevertheless, they were together for a few days or weeks!!!
Where is their next destination? Stay tuned.....
