The Amazing Race — Season Nine

Man, They Should Have Used Their Fake Names is the tenth episode of the ninth season of The Amazing Race, and the one hundred and sixth episode overall. Teams leave Freemantle Sailing Club and head to Darwin, Australia.

Race Overview

Teams fly to Darwin, Australia and must wade through a crocodile-infested pool to receive their next clue. The Racers also perform an intense Roadblock which requires one teammate to perform a tandem skydive with a trained professional. This entire leg is full of foot races which culminate with a three-way sprint to the Pit Stop. Meanwhile, Teams continue to play head games with each other and one Duo takes the scheming a step further when they cancel all the cabs waiting for the remaining Teams.

Trivia

The Show

4 teams set out from Perth, Australia raced to Darwin. Eric & Jeremy turned the game up a notch by playing a trick cancelling Ray & Yolanda's taxi and BJ & Tyler's taxi. When other teams found out, they framed Joseph & Monica while Eric & Jeremy realized that they mistakenly cancelled their taxi pushing them to last place. But, still keeping the word about the incident, BJ & Tyler yielded Joseph & Monica. Ray & Yolanda finally landed in first place, while Joseph & Monica caught up to the other teams resulting in a three-way footrace to the Pit Stop. Just when it looked like Joseph & Monica would finish last, BJ made a tactical mistake by running on rocks instead of the bridge, thinking it would be a shortcut. After Eric & Jeremy claimed second place, Joseph and Tyler stepped on the mat together and, because of BJ’s mistake, Monica snuck onto the mat three steps ahead of BJ. Luckily for BJ & Tyler, they avoided elimination as this leg was the second of three pre-determined non-elimination leg.
