The Phuket List

Mel and Mike reach the herb shop, where not only are they in last place, there are five fewer drawers with clues in them than there were to start with. But they gamely get to it, and as every drawer comes out empty, they and the shopkeeper sing out in unison, "Nooo!" At least they're having fun sucking wind.

Kisha|Jen's and Margie|Luke's cabs deposit them at the harbor for the 100 Barrels task, which is called Pae Yod. But there's a small problem: no boats in sight. That's an unexpected wrinkle. When the cheerleaders arrive and take in the situation, they learn from Sak that he knows exactly where the rickshaw starting point is, and they offer to lead Margie and Luke's driver there instead of hanging around searching for boats. Kisha and Jen get back in their cab as well, but to explore the harbor area in search of actual fishing vessels. Hard to do the task without one, don't you know.

In the cab to the rickshaws, Victor reads from the clue that they are not allowed to hire anyone to guide them along the rickshaw route. Which is funny, because as Mark and Michael pass their waiting cab, which they had totally forgotten about until they got back on the street and saw it waiting for them, they instruct him to lead them to the next clue. As Mark explains afterwards, "We were gonna have to pay that cab, whether he stayed in front of us, behind us, or led us there. We had the cab lead us to the end of the Detour." I really think they just missed that part of the clue; not that they were intentionally trying to cheat. This time. They get going again, this time with Michael at the handlebars.

Victor and Tammy arrive at the temple, and ask their cabbie to trace them a map. He offers to lead them there, but they decline, saying it's against the rules. Mr. Bandit draws their route on the map, and Tammy climbs up into the seat. Victor heads out, pulling the rickshaw with visibly squishy tires. Would they have rolled out like that if the pumps had been laid out the way Mark and Michael found them? We'll never know.

Mel and Mike, and the herb store guy: "Nooo! Nooo!" but after a couple more, they get a drawer with a clue. Back in motion but still in last place, they take off to do 100 Barrels.
