With a sizable lead going up the monument's steps, the remaining four Teams, having gotten lost, arrived at Lion's Rock. Whereas Hayden & Aaron and Adam & Rebecca carefully read their clue stating that the person performing the Roadblock needed to bring their admission ticket with them to present along the way, Freddy & Kendra and Lori & Bolo did not. Freddy quickly realized this and doubled back to get his from Kendra, while Lori continued running up the steps. At the point where she needed to present her ticket, Lori was turned away, forcing her to go all the way back down. At the bottom, Lori screamed to Bolo, "I told you to read the additional information, didn't I? Now we're frickin' last!" Kris tried to console a disappointed Bolo by saying, "Positive thoughts."
While Lori struggled to catch up, Jon spotted the flag from atop Lion's Rock and quickly descended the stairs to whisk Kris away in a tuk tuk to the swimming pool next to the flag. Arriving there first, the long-distance dating couple dove in and swam the length of the pool to where host Phil Keoghan waited on the mat at the other end. Stepping onto the mat in first place, Kris & Jon were informed by Phil that they had won a vacation to romantic Europe, compliments of American Airlines' website, AA.com.
ELIMINATION
The race for second place resulted in a very crowded swimming pool as Hayden & Aaron, Freddy & Kendra and Adam & Rebecca all arrived at the same time. The athletic Hayden & Aaron took charge to finish second, while the confused Adam & Rebecca, at first not realizing they needed to swim, settled for fourth place.
Not being able to overcome the critical mistake of the forgotten admission ticket, Lori & Bolo arrived in last place at the Pit Stop, where Phil informed the duo they had been eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE. On his partner, Bolo commented, "She's one of the strongest women you'll ever meet." On her partner, Lori remarked, "Bolo is the love of my life. He is a challenge. He don't back down. He gives me something to work towards, and I think if we can make it through all of this, then we'll probably be together forever."
This episode of THE AMAZING RACE was filmed in Sri Lanka several weeks before a deadly tsunami struck the country.
