the two also arrived last in the previous leg, after suffering several misfortunes and bad decisions in that leg. they also incurred two 2 hour penalties in that leg, after paying their cab drivers personal belonging since they are already out of money. but luckily, it was a non-elimination leg of the race.

in this leg, they are so far behind and they still need to finish the speed bump. even if the flight to china enabled them to catch up a bit, the lag was still too much for them to conquer. they were eliminated at the pit stop that was st the sun and moon pagoda at the banyan lake in guilin.

this leg was also spiced up by the fight between jen and luke. luke threw an elbow at jen at the hair salon clue box, which prompted jen to call luke a "bitch." at the roadblock clue box, they also had a scuffle and luke pushed jen to the clue box, although it was unintentional. luke confronted jen at the pit stop but i think jen has the correct stand on this one.

kisha and jen were first at the pit stop, winning a trip for two to barbados. this is their first win in nine legs. actually, the first three teams were neck to neck to the mat, it only happens that the pair stepped on the mat first. so the rankings are as follows:

1. kisha and jen

2. tammy and victor
