Amazing Race 13 – New Zealand Adventure
The Amazing Race teams goes to New Zealand for another taste of bitter sweet adventure. Knowing that the first to arrive at the new pit stop will receive another set of amazing gifts and also knowing that another pair might say goodbye to the rest.
Season 13 has its ups and downs and some conflicts amongst pairs. Here are the questions that need to be answered in this episode: Will Ken and Tina be number one again after their winning streak this past legs of the race? Will Nick & Starr continue with their games and still have conflict with Kelly and Christy? Will Aja and Ty continue their personal conflicts or will focus on winning? Let’s see.
Kelly and Christy confronted Nick and Starr because of their backstabbing attitude. They tried to reconcile with the divorcees but its too late for that. The pairs flew from Bolivia to New Zealand. As they arrived the teams must travel through unmarked cars to Gulf Harbor wherein they are going to untie a big knot to reveal the next clue for the rest.
While traveling to Gulf Harbor the first blown tire casualty of the race was revealed: Aja and Ty. Which slowed them down considerably. Ken and Tina arrived first and they had managed to unravel their knot and revealed their next clue. It contains the seasons first Fast Forward. The challenge is to go to the Auckland Sky Tower and complete a challenge: to climb their way to the top and retrieve a roaming gnome from the flashing red beacon at the highest point, more than 1000 feet up. Ken and Tina took up the challenge and had been treated to a helicopter ride directly to this week’s Pit Stop.
The other teams have gone to the Mount Eden, the highest point in New Zealand for the Road Block. In this challenge, one of the team members must select a tribal tattoo image and look for the matching design amongst the throng of warriors. If the image match they will receive the next clue. If not the design will be confiscated and the team must start all over again using a new image. The first to complete this challenge were Terrence and Sarah, next were Toni and Dallas.
After that challenge the teams must go to the City Life Hotel. When they arrived there they must go to the rooftop and will use binoculars to spot the Roaming Gnomes placed in the vicinity of the hotel. Once they spotted the gnome they must get it and they get the next clue.
The next place to go is to the Kiwi 360, a huge kiwi orchard in the town of Te Puke to receive their next clue. The clue reveals the Detour which have two choices: Matter of Time and Matter of Skill. If a team select Matter of Time, they must use their feet to crush kiwis until they squeezed twelve quarts of juice and then the pair must drink a full glass of juice to complete the Detour. In Matter Of Skill, teams must assemble a pair of Bio-Karts and race for three laps around the track. Terence and Sarah finish the first Detour quickly followed by Kelly and Christy.
Then the next Pit Stop looms ahead, and its Summer Hill, a 1,000 acre sheep farm. Phil and his Dad Keoghan are there to welcome the teams. Ken and Tina arrived first due to their Fast Forward. Its their third week in the row at the first place. Terence and Sarah on the second place. Marisa and Brooke arrived last and were eliminated in the rest.
