TAR 18 Episode 11 - Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves


The teams are flying to Brazil. The Globetrotters and Zev/Justin get an earlier flight, but Big Easy acting shady tips the other two teams off to the fact there might be a better one. Once in Brazil, the Globetrotters end up with the slow cab that the other teams all leave in the dust. Everyone else gets on the train and the Globetrotters narrowly miss it. When they are told it's 30 minutes until the next train, they see this as unacceptable, and yell or the train to stop - which it doesn't.

Once they reach the samba task, Mallory breezes through it - a challenge basically meant for her. Zev is much less successful, and even Justin's enthusiastic coaching can’t help. They're soon overtaken by the other two teams as well.

Gary/Mallory take on the next task, which is a Brazilian wax - another easy task for Mallory - and go straight on to the drink-mixing detour. Zev/Justin are finished with the samba now and find Kisha/Jen and the Globetrotters just finishing up on the waxing. As the hairiest team in the competition, this proves to be a very painful task for the two boys. Justin even threatens to punch the waxer in the face.

Gary/Mallory, Kisha/Jen and the Globetrotters are all making drinks and getting the hang of it. Zev/Justin choose to do the other detour but have absolutely no luck selling bikinis to...people already wearing bikinis, and have to admit defeat and switch.

Gary/Mallory finish first and are ecstatic at another leg won. Kisha/Jen are next, and are also happy to be in the final three. Zev/Justin know they have no chance of catching the Globetrotters, so pour out a final drink, toast their "good run" and walk slowly to the pit stop. They did not want the race to end.

For the final leg of the race, the teams fly to Miami. The Globetrotters get a taxi first whereas Gary/Mallory lag behind due to a driver that has to ask for directions. The other two teams make it to the forklift task and manage to complete it before Gary/Mallory even show up - with the Globetrotters still in the lead.

The teams now have to have a member scuba dive to find a clue in an underwater chest. Big Easy makes it through the madness to get the clue first - but they lose their taxi, and get overtaken by Kisha/Jen.

Kisha/Jen manage to maintain their lead throughout the trip through shallow water to Horseshoe Island and the speedboat race. The teams now have to replicate exactly a caravan set on a brochure, and this is where Gary/Mallory manage to catch up. This leads the Globetrotters to use another tired basketball metaphor and call it "sudden death".

Kisha/Jen get their caravan set up first. The Globetrotters try to copy the to see what they did wrong, and it ends up being the table. The two teams now have to tricycle along a 7 mile bridge, and it soon becomes apparent to the Globetrotters they won't catch them.

Kisha/Jen cross the finish line first and win the race. They tell Phil they plan to use the money to help out their mom, and she's always been there for them. The Globetrotters come second and congratulate Kisha/Jen, pointing out that they were the most consistent team. Gary/Mallory come third and are also in high spirits, as usual. So that's a wrap for this season. Everyone's Unfinished Business is now finished.
