Transition and Setting: Episode 7 in India
00:00:40
The Amazing Rewatch
And here you are. So you made it. ah Yeah. This computer. Yeah.
00:00:45
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know what to do about it. it just glitches. Get a new one. That's what need to do about it. But the new ones cost money. I know, but the amount times you use a computer, it's worth it to get one. know.
00:00:56
The Amazing Rewatch
I know. I'm sitting on a flat surface. it just It usually tends to like glitch and like stop working when I move it. So I'm putting it on a flat surface and not moving it and we'll see how it goes. yeah But yeah, we are back for episode seven and we are still in India.
00:01:15
The Amazing Rewatch
we ended last episode in Kolkata.
Challenges and Rewards: Kolkata to Varanasi
00:01:19
The Amazing Rewatch
ok cutdo And at the beginning of this episode, um well, we saw the special treatment that Gary Mallory won at the end of the last episode from Snapple. They get like food and entertainment and stuff like that. So they enjoyed that.
00:01:36
The Amazing Rewatch
But they're departing first and they're departing at 1.18pm and the clue says fly to the city of Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges River. Then make your way to Tangastan to find your next clue.
00:01:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Then and Kor depart at Ron Christina 1.53pm. and Justin 1.54pm. Kent and Vixen Keisha and Jen at kenton vixon one fifty five keishia and janet ten oh two oh three And a flight time Big Easy at 345. Which was quite a bit. Yeah. What happened that they, what was the last task they did that got them so far behind? Well, there was like, they were doing that one against Margie and Luke about. it was the T. Yeah.
00:02:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, there was the tea thing. And then like when they were doing the detour and fly time, like kick the paint on the right statue. And so, yeah. So the tea thing.
00:02:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Really put
Flight Missteps: Jet and Cord's Troubles
00:02:29
The Amazing Rewatch
them behind. They were like two hours behind, over two and a half hours, like behind first team. So we do find out that they have $80 for this lake and they've stopped like telling us that yeah really like we only hear it once or twice a season.
00:02:44
The Amazing Rewatch
but I still think it's interesting. yeah Because there was one i Where were they? In Australia? Japan, I think. Oh, and they had like $400. Yeah. Maybe they give them more lumps, some at the beginning and then less later on. Maybe.
00:03:00
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. um But the teams make their way to either like a travel agency or straight to the airport to find flights to this city of Varanasi. And there's one that um ah arrives at 1045 a.m. m the next day. Jet Jet and je Cord get to a window at the airport and they ask for a flight to Varanasi and the guy at the counter tells them there's a flight that arrives at 1145. They don't really question him or ask any more questions. Yeah, that's crazy me that they didn't even check. Yeah, and they get those tickets. So everybody's on the 1045, they're on the 1145.
00:03:39
The Amazing Rewatch
And Corda said, the way I was raised, if someone looks me straight in the eyes and tells me something, I believe what they're saying. Oh, that's not a. Yeah.
Varanasi's Significance: History and Culture
00:03:49
The Amazing Rewatch
and but I mean, and it probably wasn't even done maliciously. It was probably like they went to that certain airline and that was the first flight that that airline flew, you know? Yeah. So it's not like they were like, oh.
00:04:50
The Amazing Rewatch
So they... Oh, man. It's kind of interesting because if they're traveling, so it's like an equalizer, and sometimes they'll arrive...
00:05:00
The Amazing Rewatch
in the middle of the night or late in the night and whatever doesn't open until the next day, but they're arriving in the morning. So everything's going be open and like ready to run. So is not one of those times where, oh, it doesn't matter they come later. But, um but if we know anything about the Cowboys, it's that they are good at the tasks for the most part and they are pretty efficient and the other teams know that too. And they do mention that yeah a couple of times in this episode. So yeah.
00:05:29
The Amazing Rewatch
So that flight, it lands in Varanasi. um Varanasi is a city.
00:05:39
The Amazing Rewatch
It's 186 miles northwest of Kolkata, so it's not that far away. That's weird that they flew then. Yeah. And how far would that flight even... or like That'd be like a 20-minute flight. Yeah.
00:05:52
The Amazing Rewatch
That's like flying from here to St. George. Yeah. so Interesting. I have something in my eye. um Yeah, it's on the Ganges River. is uniquely positioned on a crescent-shaped bend of the Ganges River, which is considered especially auspicious in the Hindu belief.
00:06:13
The Amazing Rewatch
um It is a humid subtropical climate, very hot summers, over 100 degrees usually, and then monsoon season is from June to September. and mild winters and the riverbank is lined with stone steps called gotts gh at t s There are about 80 to 90 ghats used for bathing, ceremonies, and ceremonial or cremation rituals.
00:06:38
The Amazing Rewatch
um There's about 2 million people in the city. It's one of the largest cities in Uttar Pradesh, which is like the state that it is in.
00:06:50
The Amazing Rewatch
ah It feels old and traditional, ah older and more traditional than many other modern Indian cities.
Roadblock Challenges: Searching for Meaning of Life
00:06:57
The Amazing Rewatch
It's mostly Hindu. It's believed to be over 3,000 years old, though legends claim it to be far older.
00:07:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And it's a major center of learning, philosophy, religion, and trade.
00:07:09
The Amazing Rewatch
um Under the British era, it became the center of Indian cultural revival and education. And today, Varadhyasya remains one of the most important spiritual centers in India and a major pilgrimage destination.
00:07:23
The Amazing Rewatch
It's called the City of Light because they do a lot of ceremonies and stuff at night with fire and lanterns and stuff. Um...
00:07:36
The Amazing Rewatch
it's open it's made It's famous for its open-air cremations along the river. And families bring their bodies wrapped in a cloth to the riverbank where funeral pyres burn 24 hours a day. And...
00:07:49
The Amazing Rewatch
and we do see that in the episode. One of India's largest universities is located here. And it's known for silk weaving,
00:08:02
The Amazing Rewatch
um
00:08:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Varanasi has been inhabited continuously for thousands of years, making it one of the oldest living cities on earth. has thousands of temples, some estimate over 2,000 temples in this one city.
00:08:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Varanasi comes from two rivers, the Varanu River and the Asi River. And the narrow lanes of the old city are often too small for cars, so people walk or use motorcycles or rickshaws.
00:08:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Mark Twain once wrote about Varanasi older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend. Varanasi is not just a city. It's one of the world's most important spiritual landscapes where daily life, death rituals, religion, and history have blended together for millennia along the banks of the Ganges.
00:08:44
The Amazing Rewatch
and So, yeah. Very... a lot of history here. Yeah. Well, they land here in Varanasi and...
00:08:53
The Amazing Rewatch
Their taxis are all kind of racing each other, getting to the next clue. and Vixen are the ones that end up getting there first. And it's a roadblock. It says, who's ready to search for the meaning of life So using only pictures for reference, team members must search for six sadhus, which are holy men, who will each hand them a clue. Once they properly arrange all six clues, the meaning of life will be revealed.
00:09:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Then they must find one last sadhu and tell them the meaning of life to get the next clue.
Alliance Tensions: Gary and Kent's Fallout
00:09:26
The Amazing Rewatch
And what was it? ah When they get the pieces of paper and they unscramble them. Oh.
00:09:34
The Amazing Rewatch
If you climb the hill... You go faster or something like that I thought I wrote it down, but I must... I didn't write it down. Yeah. So Kent is going to do the roadblock, and then all the other teams pretty much, like, arrive. Well, except for Jet andcord and And Big Easy, Jen, Gary, Ron, and...
00:09:53
The Amazing Rewatch
justin thank goodness zev would not have done well no at this roadblock and he does mention a few times as they're just kind of like waiting there that this very very loud and overstimulating for him and he doesn't do well in crowds and he's like self-aware you know he like he knows what triggers him and mallory gives him some earplugs yeah that's really nice Yeah. It's a lot. There was one time where they're driving their cars like through these busy streets and flight time or biggies. One of them was like, I don't know if this is a fact in India that when you put the gas, when you push the gas pedal, the horn also honks. Yeah. Because everybody's just honking. Because everybody's just like on their horn constantly.
00:11:09
The Amazing Rewatch
He's like, they're asking each other for help or whatever. And he's and gary and he tells Gary, okay, well, if we if you'll help me find the other men, I'll take you to the finish. Yeah, I know where it is.
00:11:20
The Amazing Rewatch
I wouldn't screw you over. Yeah. And Gary's
Detour Dilemmas: 'Feed the Fire' vs 'Feed the Buffalo'
00:11:24
The Amazing Rewatch
like, oh, okay. And um that actually doesn't end up happening when they get to that point. Like, they get to the last clue. The guy the holy man with the last clue. And Kent like hurries and grabs it and he's out of there so fast before Gary can even grab it from the guy.
00:11:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And he says, at that point, our codependency our codependency was kind of over. Like, well. You didn't say that though. You promised. Yeah, you promised you would take him. It didn't seem like it took Gary a long time to find it. Yeah, Gary didn't really struggle after that and and he didn't like say anything. I don't know if he'll say anything in the future, but it was really lame.
00:12:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. i I didn't really like Kent in this episode. Yeah. His personality has kind of changed a little bit. From last season? Yeah. I know. And they um i noticed that like the first part of the episode when they like first got in their taxis, he was like yelling at the taxi driver. And a little bit later in the episode, he like he just like is not very nice. Yeah.
00:12:27
The Amazing Rewatch
And I don't feel like he was that way last season that he was on. Yeah. yeah It's an interesting change. um But Jen is the first one to get all of the the pieces of paper and she finds the sadhu and gets the clue that says to...
00:12:49
The Amazing Rewatch
you tell me. um Make your way to the Tulsi Ghat area and find the local Salminat Alhambra. Akara, a wrestling and strength conditioning club and find the strong man to get next clue.
00:13:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. So Big Easy and Justin help each other, kind of, and they finish and get the clue. So and Court arrive, and this is when the other players are like,
00:13:13
The Amazing Rewatch
All of us are really concerned to see them show up because they know we know that they're so efficient. Yeah. And when they get to a task, they do it quickly. And that ends up happening again. Cord does the roadblock and he ends up finishing before Ron finishes. Yeah, Ron. Poor Ron. He went way, yeah way way off course. I feel like all of these sadhus were in kind of like a a contained area and Ron like walked like way far down the river, like a mile.
00:13:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And he to a point where it wasn't even that crowded. Yeah. And to a point where like he couldn't even walk anymore. he was like, well, there's like the cremation. Like that's where they were like doing the cremating. So he couldn't keep going. So he started retracing his steps and going back and Yeah, he just like got way, way off course.
00:14:03
The Amazing Rewatch
but Yeah, so um he's the last one to finish. um The team start arriving to this clue at this strongman place and they don't end up actually even doing anything here.
00:14:16
The Amazing Rewatch
They get a clue for the detour and leave there immediately to do one or the other detour. And the choices are ah Feed the fire or feed the buffalo. Yes.
00:14:28
The Amazing Rewatch
So feed the fire, they have to travel down the Ganges River and find the milkman. Once they are there, they make 50 traditional fuel patties out of buffalo manure and then slap the patties onto a wall to dry in the sun. Lastly, they have to load a stove with already dried fuel patties and light a fire to boil milk for the local children. But I don't think that it says anything about buffalo manure in the clue.
00:14:57
The Amazing Rewatch
because when they get there they all seem surprised yeah like oh it's manure i don't know I still would maybe choose feed the buffalo too because I mean hay can be really heavy well I haven't said what it is yet Oh, sorry. Feed the buffalo. so they have to cross the Ganges River, pick up a load of hay, one per person, then cross back across the river and carry the hay through the narrow streets to the address attached to the hay bundle.
00:15:24
The Amazing Rewatch
So I think I would still choose the hay one. Yeah. It can be really heavy, but, and like it might be hard to find a detour. I mean, an address.
00:15:33
The Amazing Rewatch
But it just seems easier. Yeah. Just from the clue. Like 50 patties is kind of a lot. Well, Zev and Justin choose Feed the Buffalo, and so do Flight Time Big Easy. Keisha and Jen choose Feed the Fire. And they're like, we're going to go feed the children. Yeah.
00:15:51
The Amazing Rewatch
And...
00:15:52
The Amazing Rewatch
ah
00:15:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Then this is where Cord finishes the detour, leaving Ron and Christina, the last team, left. And he's still, like, way off course.
Cultural Insights: Cremation Traditions
00:16:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Keisha and Jen arrive at the detour.
00:16:07
The Amazing Rewatch
and they they do have gloves, which is good. But they're, like, gagging. They are gagging. And there's, like, kids around and they're laughing at them. and Yeah, they're just, like, latex gloves. Yeah, they're, yeah like, nothing thick medical gloves. They're...
00:16:21
The Amazing Rewatch
um working with like their straw in mixed in within the yeah like manure like that could poke through gloves so easily. They're not that protective and the good like goes up their arms. and Yeah. It's I mean hopefully it just kind of like protects it from getting under their fingernails but it's not really protecting their hands or their skin.
00:16:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, so. Or their shirt. No. Because when Mallory gets there, she's like, this is the same shirt that I wore when I had to shovel cow manure in Russia. so they choose to feed the fire as well. Kent and Vixen do too. But yeah, when Mallory says that, like, this is the exact outfit I was wearing in Russia. That's so funny. She's like, I'm throwing this in the trash when I get home.
00:17:03
The Amazing Rewatch
um But when they are going down the river, Gary and Mallory talk about these cremation ceremonies that they see along the banks of the river and just kind of talk about how cool it is and an interesting like cultural thing that this city has. and ah it would be It would be kind of crazy just to like see bodies being burned out in the open. Yeah.
00:17:32
The Amazing Rewatch
um
00:17:33
The Amazing Rewatch
it says oh what the this here it says um at the gots like which are like the steps leading in and out of the river yeah bodies are cremated on wooden funeral pyres along the riverbank ashes and sometimes remains that didn't fully burn are placed into the river oh So that makes it even worse a little bit later. yeah so Certain groups like infants, holy men, and some disease victims may be buried in the river rather than cremated.
00:18:03
The Amazing Rewatch
oh Well, yeah, we'll get to some other stuff later, but... That just makes... me yeah so um the it yeah it's just a very different tradition than anything we're used to but it's so it's just like that is there do you want to be cremated or buried i don't know i think like we're just used to buried in like our that's how like our
00:18:32
The Amazing Rewatch
all of our history that's ever yeah it's all we've ever done but it just doesn't really make sense like i don't know but also i just don't think about it too hard yeah i don't i don't know just like your body not your body not being there yeah crumbled to ashes that makes less sense to me than being buried personally but we just have so many people i know In the world that are all going to die.
00:19:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Where we're going to put everybody. Because we've been burying people forever, but we have way more people than there's ever been. Yeah. There's a lot that are going to start dying. Mm-hmm. Because our old generation, there's a lot of people in our older generation more than there's ever been.
Race to Ramnagar Fort: First to Arrive
00:19:18
The Amazing Rewatch
It is an interesting thing to think about that I, I mean, i always just like assume that I will be buried and. Yeah. In a coffin. and
00:19:29
The Amazing Rewatch
don't know. Don't think about it very much. um Well. Keisha and Jen end up finishing. a No. Zev and Justin and the Globetrotters finish the detour first. And that clue says. Make your way across the Genjis River to the city of Ramnagar. And find the Ramnagar Fort.
00:19:46
The Amazing Rewatch
For the pit stop of this leg of the race. Last team to check in may be eliminated. The Cowboys get to the detour clue. They choose Feed the Buffalo. They're pretty excited about that. I said, we came all the way to the other side of the world to haul some hay. And they pull out their gloves and they're really like just cowboy. Yeah, they've armor gloves. Yes. Hay hauling gloves.
00:20:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Kisha and Jen, they make their 50 patties and they have to like stick them up on the wall. um But the lady tells them There's three. Like on three, which is not that many. So they hurry and fix them and pass off and get the clue.
00:20:19
The Amazing Rewatch
And head to the pit stop as well. um Kenton Vixen arrived to the detour and Gary Mallory not long after them. And doesn't take them too long. Like neither detour is too hard.
00:20:32
The Amazing Rewatch
No. The roadblock was definitely the harder one of this leg. Yes. So team number one ends up being. oh so Flight Time and Big Easy and Zevin Justin, their tuk-tuks arrive about the same time to this fort.
00:20:46
The Amazing Rewatch
But team number one and that ends up being Flytime and Big Easy. They went a trip to Hawaii. They went from worst to first, they said. They were pretty excited about that. And team number two are Zev and Justin.
00:20:59
The Amazing Rewatch
um I wrote down right here, what is the significance of the red dot on the forehead in Indian culture? Has that come across in your research anywhere? um Let's see. Yeah.
00:21:12
The Amazing Rewatch
Because the the person that greets them on the mat puts that dot on their forehead as they step up to the mat. Not even a dot. It's kind of like a smear. Yeah. um The red dot on the forehead commonly seen in India is called a bindi. And it carries cultural, religious, and symbolic meaning. The bindi um comes from the Sanskrit term bindu, meaning point or drop.
00:21:37
The Amazing Rewatch
It's just a small red dot place between the eyebrows. um It's a spot between the eyebrows believed to be the location of the Ajna chakra, often called the third eye. it symbolizes wisdom, intuition, spiritual insight, inner focus during meditation.
00:21:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Many Hindu traditions of Red Bindi indicates that a woman is married. historically women married women wear a red dot unmarried women um women sometimes wear black or decorative dots or none at all um
00:22:11
The Amazing Rewatch
ajna is one of the terms i but in like the human design that i've kind of been dabbling in Bindis have been worn in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years, appearing in ancient art and sculptures from early Hindu and Buddhist cultures.
00:22:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Aren't you glad you guys listened to this podcast learned so many things? Yeah. I love learning all these things. Yeah.
00:22:36
The Amazing Rewatch
I forget them within days, but some things I do remember. I'll probably remember that one. But they're recorded. I know. I can go back and listen listen. And yeah.
00:22:47
The Amazing Rewatch
no So then Zev and Justin are team number two. um Ron and Christina, they choose
Pollution and Perils: Ganges River Discussion
00:22:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Feed the Buffalo. um Kenton Vixen and Gary Mallory are passing off their manure.
00:23:00
The Amazing Rewatch
high piles? I don't know. yes Feed the fire. Feed the fire and get the clue to go to the fort. It doesn't seem like this fort is too far away, um but you have to go across the river. Most people choose to take a tuk-tuk across like a bridge across the river, but there's also water tax water taxis.
00:23:22
The Amazing Rewatch
So Kent and Vixen find a water taxi and they get in And the guy is not really going. Yeah. And Vixen's getting really frustrated. And she's like, i don't like this. This is wrong, wrong, wrong. Something is not right here.
00:23:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Our taxi driver is acting crazy. like And so she like tries to like reach over to the dock to try and like grab and like pull him back in. And then she, I think she thinks that the water's not very deep. Yeah. It looked like she thought she could just step off and it'd be like waist deep. But she goes.
00:23:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Over the edge of the boat. Head under the water. Submerges her whole body. And gets like, get out of that water. Are you insane? He's like, don't in the water. Are you insane? You have got to get out of there.
00:24:10
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So now knowing that there's just like bodies all over in that river. No way. So i was looking this up specifically. It says water is not considered safe for drinking or swimming, especially for visitors.
00:24:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Here's why. Pollution. um The Ganges is sacred in Hinduism, but in many places, including Baranasi, it is heavily, heavily
Unexpected Elimination: Ron and Christina's Exit
00:24:34
The Amazing Rewatch
polluted. Major sources of pollution include untreated sewage from the city, industrial waste, cremation ashes, and partially burned remains, trash, and agricultural runoff. I was going to say there was like cows everywhere just kind of hanging out right by the river.
00:24:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Tests often show high levels of bacteria such as e coli. Yeah, yeah like the ashes and sometimes remains that didn't fully burn and sometimes full whole bodies of like holy men and infants are just in there.
00:25:06
The Amazing Rewatch
I do not like that. Despite the pollution, millions of Hindus bathe in the river because it's believed to be spiritually so superiorify purifying and has divine cleansing power. so maybe we can think of that. She just got, like, baptized.
00:25:21
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah you like So you often see people bathing and washing their clothes and performing rituals. which um India has spent billions of dollars on cleanup programs, especially...
00:25:36
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm just going to plug in the computer here. It hasn't died on us yet, though. yeah The government of India has spent billions of dollars on cleanup.
00:25:46
The Amazing Rewatch
um Progress includes new sewage treatment plants, closing some industrial waste outlets, improving waste management. However, pollution levels in Varanasi are still considered unsafe.
00:25:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Advice for travelers if visiting Varanasi. Avoid drinking river water, swimming in the Kenjis, or brushing teeth with tap water. Oh, i thought you were going to say brushing your teeth with the river water. I was like, who would even do that?
00:26:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Boat rides are very popular and generally safe as long as you avoid direct contact with the water. Bottom line, it's very so it's spiritually sacred and but environmentally polluted.
00:26:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Not considered safe. Production probably was like Vixen immediately getting that shower right now. Like they probably, i I know that they make them get like vaccinations and yeah stuff like that yeah before the show.
00:26:34
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, God. If I fell in that, I would a i would probably. i I would react like Kent. Are you what I'm Get out of that water right now. and She doesn't really have, like, such a strong reaction. She's just more, like.
00:26:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Just wanting to hurry. Wanting to hurry and get upset. and like Probably a little surprised. Probably a lot surprised because she thought she was just going to, like, step out and just, yeah, goes under. Her mouth might have even been open and everything. it could be really bad. i know. Yeah.
00:27:02
The Amazing Rewatch
But I think she's okay today. Yeah, I think so. Well, yeah, we cut back to the pit stop or the, yeah, the pit stop.
00:27:12
The Amazing Rewatch
And Keisha and Jen are team number three. Gary and Mallory are team number four. And then Jet and Cord are team number five. They ended up passing up Kenton Vixen because they had these issues with their taxi. And Kenton Vixen went to go find like an actual taxi or like a rickshaw.
00:27:28
The Amazing Rewatch
um So they are going on land. Ron and k Christina take a water taxi. And again, it is edited to look close.
00:27:40
The Amazing Rewatch
What happened with the Tuk Tuk? Is it Tuk Tuk or a rickshaw? um I think they're called Tuk Tuk here. um the one that kenton bixon maybe not i don't know got it like there was people in it but i kind of missed exactly well it's like they well they saw one that was just completely empty and then there was another one close by that had a driver and a guy in the back and like as they were running towards it um they were like will you take us will you take us and the guy's like yeah i'll take you there's somebody already in there but the driver said yeah i'll take you And so like, there's somebody in there. Tell them to get out. Get out. Get out. out
00:28:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I was just like kind of distracted at that part. So i was like, what? Why are they kicking somebody out of their tuk-tuk book? Yeah. In India, it's called tuk-tuk. um Yeah, so they are in the Tuck Tuck. Ron and Christina are on the water taxi. It is edited to look close. Like, Ron and k Christina, according to the editing, get out of the water taxi first and, like, are running up to it. But Kent and Vixen probably get dropped off closer because they were already on land.
00:28:48
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, with the editing, it looked like Ron and Christina were going to get there first. Yeah. Yeah. um But they didn't. Kent and Vixen get there before Ron and k Christina. They're team number six, which means Ron and Christina are last. And I thought for sure this would be a non-elimination. Me too. I thought that too. I thought they were going to arrive before Kent and Vixen. I thought it was to non-elimination. Yeah. Yeah. just Surprised all around because they are eliminated and they are gone.
