In the third episode of The Amazing Race season 31, titled "Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy", the remaining teams continue their journey across Laos. The episode begins with teams departing from the Pit Stop at Patuxay Monument in Vientiane and heading to the city's Morning Market, where they must search for a vendor selling crickets and purchase them as their next clue.
From there, the teams must travel to Ban Xang Khong, a village known for its traditional silk weaving. Once there, they must find a marked fishing net and catch 20 small fish using only their bare hands. This task proves challenging for some teams, as they struggle to catch the quick and slippery fish.
Once teams have caught their fish, they must make their way to the Mekong River, where they will board a boat and transport their catch to a nearby village. Along the way, they must sort and count their fish, and any incorrect fish will result in a penalty. Once at the village, teams must deliver their fish to a local fisherman and receive their next clue.
The next challenge takes place at the COPE Visitor Centre in Vientiane, which is dedicated to providing rehabilitation and support to victims of unexploded ordnance. Teams must navigate a maze blindfolded, with one team member communicating directions to the other. The maze is designed to represent the dangers of unexploded bombs, and teams must be careful not to step on any of the "bombs" (represented by balloons) or risk a penalty. Once they complete the maze, teams receive their next clue.
The final challenge of the episode takes place at the Patuxay Monument, where teams must climb the steps of the iconic structure and search for their next clue hidden among the flags at the top. This task proves physically taxing for some teams, as they struggle to catch their breath and maintain their balance while searching for the clue.
Overall, "Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy" provides a diverse range of challenges that test teams both mentally and physically. From catching fish barehanded to navigating a maze blindfolded, the episode highlights the resilience and determination of the remaining teams as they continue to compete for the ultimate prize.
