As Teams traveled to the chaotic and colorful city of Mumbai, India, dating Goths Kynt & Vyxsin overcame their dreaded Speed Bump task only to make a huge mistake by U-turning a Team in front of them instead of last place Nate & Jen. Another major error by Kynt at the Road Block sealed their fate as they became the seventh eliminated Team.

BOMBAY DREAMS
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 10:12pm, grandson and grandfather Nick & Don discovered they needed to fly almost 4,000 miles to the city of Mumbai, India, formerly known as Bombay. When they landed, they had to take an auto-rickshaw to a newspaper stall where they needed to purchase a copy of the Times of India newspaper and search for an advertisement containing the location of their next clue.

After searching for the best flights online, Nick & Don walked to a nearby hotel and called Air France to secure tickets on a flight landing in Mumbai at 10:35pm the next night. With a full night to spare before leaving Florence at 6:50am, the pair wisely went back to a hotel room for some rest before the craziness of the race would begin. Hours later, after dating couple Nate & Jen left for the airport, father and daughter Ron & Christina, like Nick & Don, opted to walk to a nearby hotel and use the telephone to reserve the exact same flight to Mumbai landing at 10:35pm the next evening.

BACKUP PLANS
Nick & Don made the wise choice to sleep in a hotel room as Teams gathered outside the closed doors of the airport. When the doors finally opened at 4:30am, a line formed in front of the Air France counter with Nate & Jen leading the way. After the dating couple secured tickets on the same flight as Nick & Don and Ron & Christina, dating couple TK & Rachel stepped up to the window and stood in disbelief when they heard the flight was now full.

After the stunned TK & Rachel walked away, dating Goths Kynt & Vyxsin, with a Speed Bump penalty to consider, asked the ticketing agent to look for connections in other cities that could land them in Mumbai around the same time as the 10:30pm flight the other Teams booked. Their persistence paid off when the agent found a connection through Amsterdam that would arrive at 10:50pm. As they booked tickets on the flight, the dating Goths kept their cards close to their vest by acting upset and disappointed when they noticed TK & Rachel looking over from another counter. Kynt commented, "At this point in the game, Vyxsin and I are resorting to a lot of performance art." He added that they wanted to "make sure they get on the wrong flight and we get on the good one." This sly gamesmanship paid dividends for the Goths when TK & Rachel settled for a Lufthansa flight not scheduled to land until 1:00am, hours after the other Teams.

THE PAPER CHASE
Because of a delay in Paris on the plane carrying Nick & Don, Ron & Christina, and Nate & Jen, dating Goths Kynt & Vyxsin landed first in Mumbai and soaked up the atmosphere, remarking, "I can't believe we're in India. This is so amazing." Arriving at the M.R. Naik newspaper stall, the pair discovered that it wouldn't open until 6:00am. While Jen was unhappy at having to wait, TK & Rachel breathed a sigh of relief at having caught up to the other Teams.

Still in the early dawn darkness at 6:00am, the M.R. Naik newspaper stand opened for business as the five Teams purchased copies of the Times of India newspaper. With pages and pages of advertisements, some in vibrant colors, some in black and white, in large and small sections of the paper, Teams began the arduous task of searching for their next clue. TK wisely pulled out a pen to mark off each ad he checked while a crafty Nick took note of TK's strategy and stood near nearby in hopes of catching a glimpse when TK would find the clue. As Nate & Jen began to show signs of their familiar bickering, Vyxsin calmly found the small black and white advertisement directing them to Chauhan Tailors. Riding in their auto rickshaw, Vyxsin noted, "We're gonna have to work really hard to stay far enough ahead of everyone so that when we hit our Speed Bump, we don't get left in the dust."
