Amazing Race, Season 13: Stop in Cambodia


"Picking Cambodia as a backdrop for a leg of the Amazing Race, was a brilliant idea. It's one of those countries where life is so different from the U.S.," quoted from Jamie Rhein .
Whoever came up with the tasks the teams had to complete to get to the Pit Stop.
The first task was to take a taxi to a gas station in order to fill a truck's gas tank with 25 liters of gas--five liters at a time. Once the tanks were filled, in a neck and neck pace, the teams climbed into their trucks to have the drivers take them to Siem Reap Harbor where they were to take traditional-style boats to the middle of the largest lake in S.E Asia to the floating Kho Andeth restaurant. 
From Kho Andeth Restaurant, it was off to do one of two tasks. "Village Life" or "Village Work".
For Village Life, teams went to three different locations to pick up three objects: a doll from the tailor; a pair of chattering false teeth from the dentist; and a basketball from a floating basketball court. To acquire the basketball, each team member had to shoot a basket first.
For "Village Work," the teams were to retrieve baskets filled with fish out of the lake, one basket for each team member.
From the lake, the teams were off to Angkor Wat, Cambodia's former capital city and temple that was built in the 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II. One person from each team was to find a specific room in the massive complex where, if you beat your chest, the sound echoes.  

The next stop was Bayon Temple, another 12th century beauty. Here was the Pit Stop location.
Who won this round: Nick and Starr 
What they won: A trip to St. John, Virgin Islands where they will snorkel in Trunk Bay and have a catamaran ride.
Eliminated: Ty and Aja
