A Look in the Mirror Lack of Interest or Lack of Sleep? Old Habits Die Hard One in Four

Dating couple Colin & Christie recorded their third consecutive and sixth overall first-place finish as Teams made their way from India to New Zealand. The dating couple encountered a small bump in the road, quarreling momentarily over directions, but the pair led throughout the leg, enjoying some adventure sports in New Zealand. Married parents Chip & Kim found themselves in a battle for last place after Chip played a joke by pretending to use the Yield. But in the end, twins Kami & Karli became the seventh Team eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE.

OUT OF INDIA
Departing the Pit Stop at Victoria Memorial in first place at 2:35am, Colin & Christie opened their clue to discover they needed to fly over 7,000 miles to Auckland, New Zealand, and drive an additional 200 miles to the town of Rotorua to find the Rotorua Museum to get their next clue. However, Teams needed to purchase tickets to leave India from a nearby travel agency because local laws did not allow travelers to book international flights leaving India from the airport. On their focus for this leg, Christie commented, "Obviously, it's a great morale boost to come in first, but Colin and I need to work on being okay if things are not going perfectly. If we can learn to do that, we'll be a lot more successful."

Leaving the Pit Stop two minutes later, Chip & Kim met up with Colin & Christie. As both Teams sped away in taxis to the travel agency, Chip remarked, "[They] are the number one competitors. Kim and I are going to be nice to a point, but we know that we have to batten down our hatches and play our game alone."

While dating Christians Brandon & Nicole, who were stripped of all their money by virtue of a last place finish in the previous leg, struggled to raise funds in a hotel lobby, Chip & Kim and Colin & Christie arrived at the travel agency. The two Teams booked tickets on an Indian Airlines flight that would arrive in Bangkok, Thailand at 1:25pm. From Bangkok to Auckland, the Teams found a Singapore Airlines flight that would arrive in New Zealand at 11:35am. However, that flight, along with all others, was booked at the time. With only tickets to Bangkok in their hands, Chip & Kim and Colin & Christie left for the airport hoping to secure a flight to Auckland there.

Departing from Victoria Memorial at 3:25am, bowling moms Linda & Karen expressed their hopes for the leg. Linda remarked, "Karen's and my goal for this leg of the Race is to stay in the top three. It's hard when you're at the bottom and you're always crawling out." Like Colin & Christie and Chip & Kim, the bowling moms booked tickets on the Indian Airlines flight to Bangkok at the travel agency, but went to the airport without a connecting flight to Auckland.
