The Amazing Race 17 finally cut it to the final three tonight. Nick & Vicki decided to take the scenic route on their final leg through Korea. That was probably for the best, since we’ve already seen Nick at his worse (hopefully). He managed to keep cool tonight and led Vicki to the Pit Stop in 4th place and elimination. The odds just went up that there will be the first all female team winning the Amazing Race 17.

Here’s how the semi-final leg went:

Teams had to go straight to the airport and fly to South Korea. All were aware of the tensions there. I’m sure they are a lot more tense looking back now. Nat & Kat started off in first place, but it did not take long for Jill & Thomas to catch up. In fact, all three teams left in the first plane out to Korea. Nick & Vicky missed the plane and had a nine hour delay, enough to nearly guarantee their exit tonight.

Tonight was an intense episode of the Amazing Race 17. With teams flying to Bangladesh, Chad & Stephanie awoke on time and started first. Jill & Thomas were right on their heels. The new twist for Amazing Race 17 is the Double U-turn in this leg. Two teams would be slowed down with an extra task, and Chad & Stephanie said they would U-turn Nat & Kat if given the chance. They didn’t. Instead, it was Chad & Stephanie who went from first to last place tonight after suffering one of the U-turns. Buh-bye to these lovebirds.

Here is how this leg of Amazing Race 17 went down:

Teams headed to the airport first to race for the best flights to Bangladesh. It usually just comes down to luck and timing. This group seems the weakest (or most willing to give up) at finding better flights.
