“The Amazing Race” Season 28 recap of Leg 9

On the ninth episode, titled “Salt That Sand,” teams made their way to Bali, Indonesia. Sheri and Cole, who arrived in last place on Leg 8, performed the Speed Bump. They were tasked to go to Goa Lawah Temple, where they had to prepare and sell ten bowls of bakso, a traditional Indonesian meatball dish. They were allowed to continue racing when they reached the amount required and consumed a bowl of bakso each. The teams encountered two Roadblocks: salt harvesting and joining the Bali Kite Festival. On the first challenge, a team member collected seawater, sprinkle it all over the sand and wait for it to evaporate until salt formed. The representative had to harvest it and fill four plastic bags to receive the next clue. The other team member had to perform the next Roadblock, which involved assembling a 30-foot long traditional kite, then flying it along the beach to proceed.

In addition to the two Roadblock challenges, the teams also had to deliver gebogan, a religious offering at the Enjung Galuh Temple. They exchanged the gebogans for two live pythons, which they then had to carry around their neck and deliver to the Snake Temple, where they got the next clue. The racers also had to paddle an outrigger canoe across the Semawang Beach to reach a traditional boat, which is where the pit stop is located.

Best friends Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl raced all the way to the top, arriving at the pit stop ahead of all the other teams. For being team number 1, they won US$5,000 (AU$) each. Dating gamers Burnie Burns and Ashley Jenkins maintained their second place streak, followed by mother-and-son duo Sheri and Cole LaBrant.

Here’s the rest of the "TAR" Season 28 team placement in the ninth episode: Engaged choreographers Dana Borriello and Matt Steffanina and pro Frisbee fellas Brodie Smith and Kurt Gibson. Newlyweds Zach and Rachel King were the last to arrive at the mat, eliminating them from the race.
