"The Amazing Race" 12/4- SEMI-FINALS

Andy & Tommy need to just focus on getting to the Championship Round; the all-time wins record will take care of itself. The other contestants who didn't win the Mustangs last week had to sleep inside The Atomium.

First Clue (3:46 AM): Each team has to dress up as one of these pairs of characters from the classic Belgian comic book series "The Adventures of Tintin"- Dupont & Dumond, Jonson & Johnson or Thomson & Thompson. They must look at the Tintin mural & tell the designated guy what they've learned to receive their second clue.

Clue #2: After taking a train, they have to fly 4K+ miles across the Atlantic to Panama City. Once there, they've got to take a boat ride across the Tigris River to Parara Peru, where the villagers will hand them their third clue.

Clue #3: Teams will sign up for one of the following tattoo appointment times on the next morning- 7 AM, 7:20 AM or 7:40 AM.

Clue #4: They need to figure out that their tattoos are trying to lead them to the S.F. Bay Towers, where their next clue awaits.

ROADBLOCK #12: Andi, Amani, Cindy & Sandy each have to walk a tightrope 35 stories high back & forth before they can read their next clue.

Clue #6: The next piece of info's found next to the Ferdinand de Lesseps Statue.

DETOUR #8: Filet or Sole?

F: At the largest fish market in Panama, they must deliver the exact amounts of seafood to various vendors to get their last clue.
