Never Get In a Shouting Match with a Deaf Guy

Jaime and Cara seem to be having better luck, as they're being driven straight to it. "She probably gets her hair done there," Jaime says of their driver, because if she actually had to give a cab driver credit for something, her skull would collapse. Sure enough, they find the clue box first, right next to one of the shiny, gold-wrapped trees that line the sidewalk. They also notice the Speed Bump sign with Mark and Michael's picture on it, which is making its appearance quite early in the leg. Jaime opens their clue, which is sending them to something called the #24 Bridge, over the Li river. Ah, bridges are inherently so romantic, and is there any name for a bridge more romantic than #24? Other than #69, of course. The Racers will find their next clue there. But first the cheerleaders have to run after their cab driver, who has started to leave without them. They catch up to her just as Tammy and Victor pull up and get their clue in second place. Team Go Team is still talking to their driver outside the cab, aware of the other team behind them, when Jaime cuts off discussion by pronouncing, "You? Go here." There's our girl. Then, realizing that Victor might be speaking Chinese to their driver, they decide to just follow him and Tammy to where they're going. Up ahead, the siblings remark that the other teams haven't been asking them for help, which seems to be working fine for the cheerleaders. They're unaware that they're following them right now. "We had a taxi driver who knew the right area, and that's a change for us," Jaime says. And as a result, she will now yell at her ten percent more quietly.

Mark and Michael have landed in Guilin, and in their cab to Qing Xiu Li, Michael says he's optimistic and wants to stay positive. They should just let Michael do all the talking.

Margie and Luke are also closing in on the hair salon, and they spot Kisha and Jen walking by. The sisters are tired of hoofing it, so they get in another cab and have it follow the other team. Jen says she doesn't trust Margie and Luke. "They sent us in the wrong direction when we were in Bangkok," she says, not entirely accurately. There's a black-and-white flashback to that incident, and then Jen says they need to keep them in sight. Meanwhile, up ahead, Margie is saying that she's never seen Luke this competitive before. "During the race, I am very competitive," he says in a solo interview. "Sometimes, I'm not patient." We're building up to something here, aren't we? They get out of their cab near the hair salon, and quickly spot the Speed Bump sign. "Where's the clue box?" Margie wonders. Well, it's right there in front of the Speed Bump sign, geniuses, but somehow they both miss it and start crowding into the hair salon behind it. Kisha and Jen make the same mistake, and then we get one of those shots that Amazing Cameramen must get up every morning hoping to capture, which is four entire Amazing Racers all standing within a ten-foot radius of the clue box, all of them utterly oblivious to its presence. I once considered going to a Halloween party as an Amazing clue box, but then I realized that nobody would be able to see me. Luke nearly runs into the thing, for God's sake.
