The Amazing Race 14, Episode 7

So i pretty much never update on here.. But here is a random recap anyways.

The teams went to Phuket, Thailand. Tammy and Victor got to leave first but it didn't really matter because all the teams ended up on the same flight. When they landed they all had to find a giant gorilla statue. Mel and Mike made a fatal error in not following the rest of the pact and instead let a cab driver take them everywhere but the Phuket Zoo.
At the Zoo they got to take pictures with the Tiger and have elephants step and squat over them. It looked super fun. After the Zoo they had to go to the oldest herb shop in Phuket. There they had to pick from over 99 boxes to find the next clue. Jaime and Cara where the first to get to the shop but the last to leave besides Mel and Mike. They had absolutely no luck picking the right box.Next there was a detour of 100 Barrels or 2 Miles. The Tweedles ( Mark and Micheal) went for 2 miles where they had to travel by rickshaw to this park. They got there and pumped up the flat tire then being devious they put the pumps in a box instead of where they were spread out for the teams. They then got the cab driver to go to the park while they followed. Tammy and Victor where the next to get there, and they didn't notice the pumps and they also read in the rules where it stated they are not allowed to pay anyone to take them to the park.

At the park ,the next clue was for the pit stop at a temple. The Tweedles got to the mat first and were excited at being first, but then Phil let them know that they had two time penalties. First, was for tampering with the pumps, and second for following the cab driver to the park. So they had to wait an hour before they could actually check in. They almost made it, but Tammy and Victor came in, followed by Jaime and Cara. The brothers then got to check in.
Margie and Luke were the next team to arrive. Upon reaching the mat, Margie asked for water and then collapsed. They immediatly put shade over her and brought her water. After Margie claimed it was embarrassing.

The other two teams Kisha & Jen, and Mike & Mel were doing the other task, 100 barrels. Kisha and Jen would have been much faster, however they failed to notice the hose wasn't filling the barrels. Mel and Mike got their after them and almost caught up, however still ended up falling short and being eliminated.
Teams left:
Victor and Tammy (Have always been a strong team and just need to keep it going)
Jaime and Cara (are doing surprisely well,need to just calm down)
Micheal and Mark (need to not make anymore mistakes)
Margie and Luke (hopefully will pull through, this will be tough for them)
Kisha and Jen (need to step it up and go faster)
