The Amazing Race 31, Episode 5 Recap


The Amazing Race (U.S. version) season 31, broadcasted on CBS in 2019

In episode 5 of the U.S. version of The Amazing Race on CBS, teams flew westward for about 5,633 kilometers (3,500 miles) from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, starting this episode in Ho Chi Minh City, VIETNAM and later landing in Dubai, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. Sorted by chronological order, here were the challenges and happenings encountered by teams in this episode:

● Arriving in Dubai and driving to a desert bonfire, which was hosted by Emiratis who owned luxurious sportscars. Teams enjoyed tea and date fruit then found a clue inside a sportscar.

● Riding an elevator to the top of the iconic Dubai Frame landmark to receive their Detour clue.

Burj Khalifa logo       Dubai Garden Glow logo
Detour, choice between "Fall" or "Find": playing the Mission 828 virtual-reality simulation in the world's tallest building (Burj Khalifa) and recalling the answers to several questions about that game or finding a blue, green, red, purple, and white lighted egg in Dubai Garden Glow's Dinosaur Park while wearing T-Rex costumes.

Roadblock: attending a silent disco party and finding a headphone-wearing attendee who is dancing to the same song that the party's DJ is listening to.

● Riding the world's longest urban zipline from the top of a building down toward episode 5's Pit Stop.

Pit Stop: Dubai Marina

  Season 31, Episode 5
  First and Last Places at the Pit Stop


  1st — Becca Droz & Floyd Pierce
       1st place prize — $5,000 each

  Last — Elissa Slater & Rachel Reilly-Villegas
       Eliminated from the competition? No (non-elimination episode)

The Amazing Race 31, Episode 4 Recap


The Amazing Race (U.S. version) season 31, broadcasted on CBS in 2019

In episode 4 of the U.S. version of The Amazing Race on CBS, teams continued the competition in Ho Chi Minh City, VIETNAM. Since Bret and Chris were last but not removed from the competition in the previous episode, they had to complete a Speed Bump challenge at the beginning of this episode before they could progress through the other tasks. At SnowTown Saigon, the two men were tasked with piling snowballs into a cooler while enduring blizzard-like conditions inside the climate-controlled SnowTown facility. They then had to transport the cooler to a drivers' education center before receiving a clue for the Roadblock challenge. Sorted by chronological order, here were the other challenges and happenings encountered by teams in this episode:

● Sliding on a sled down a slope in the snowy, indoor SnowTown Saigon facility and receiving their next clue from a someone dressed as a polar bear.

Roadblock: passing a moped driving test on a complicated, twisty course by staying between the yellow lines.

Detour, choice between "Irritation" or "Irrigation": paddling a basket boat while encountering fishermen obstacles to pick up and return a basket of fish or building a waterwheel out of bamboo then filling a jug with the waterwheel's water. Both detour options were hosted at the serene Bình Quới village.

Pit Stop: Tầm Vu Park, adjacent to the Thanh Đa Canal in Ho Chi Minh City

  Season 31, Episode 4
  First and Last Places at the Pit Stop


  1st — Christie Woods & Colin Guinn
       1st place prize — Trip to the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC*

  Last — Corinne Kaplan & Eliza Orlins
       Eliminated from the competition? Yes

* A destination which I would NOT recommend at this time due to way too many reports of suspicious tourist deaths (particularly at several resorts)! If Christie and Colin already took their vacation to the Dominican Republic, they seem to be doing okay.

Sorted by chronological order, here were the challenges and happenings encountered by teams in this episode:

● Finding a doctor at the House of Vietnamese Medicine to receive herbal remedies and their next clue.

Detour, choice between "Reel It In" or "Light It Up": fishing for eight prawns in a restaurant's indoor pool or dancing in sync with the 218 Dance Group while wearing colorfully lit outfits.

Roadblock: learning the lyrics of a Vietnamese song and singing it karaoke-style in front of a crowd at Kingdom Karaoke.

Hurricane Dorian Causing (Lots of) Tornado Warnings


Oh my gosh ... stay safe out there!

Today (September 5th, 2019) is already presenting some unfortunate weather-related circumstances to several states along the Atlantic coast in the UNITED STATES, especially North Carolina and South Carolina but also including parts of coastal Georgia and Florida. At about 1:00 AM Eastern Time, the National Weather Service issued a TORNADO WATCH for coastal counties in North and South Carolina, and this alert is expected to last until 7:00 PM today or even later than that. In addition, some areas in the aforementioned states (particularly the Carolinas) will experience storm surges of up to 5 to 10 feet — and of course Hurricane Dorian will splash lots of rain on land and will subsequently cause severe flooding issues. For the latest hurricane-related Tornado Warnings in real-time, please stay up to date with the National Weather Service, particularly its NWS Tornado Twitter page at twitter.com/NWSTornado (↗). If you are currently in the impacted areas, please stay safe, turn around don't drown if you come across a flooded roadway, and take tornado warnings and sirens seriously!
