“Make Your Way to the Capital of THIS Country”
Teams are given a flag and have to figure out where their next destination is. James and Jaymes figured out that the flag is the Netherlands. The Texans and Twins think they are flying to Paris, the capital of France. Trey and Lexi ran into the Chippendale's to correct their flight mistake. Natalie and Nadiya figured out on their own that they mixed up the flags.
Everyone books on different flights. I didn’t catch why but I think it has to deal with full flights. The ticket lady won’t sell the twins flights with a layover in Rome because the layover time is one hour. According to policies, one hour is too little time in case of delay. The girls beg the desk attendant and she agreed to their plea. Their flight will get them in Amsterdam at 11:30. Since, the attendant disregarded the safety rules of flights, her face and her colleagues were blurred.
The top 3 teams are at the airport. The twins come up with a brilliant move to oust Abbie and Ryan out of the competition. The double U-turn is coming up in this leg. If the top 3 use the U-turn on Abbie and Ryan, then, use the second U-turn on a team that’s already ahead, this will prevent Abbie and Ryan from using the U-turn on Josh and Brent who are behind the pack.
As of right now, the flight situation looks like
Twins 11:30am
Chips 12:15pm on a direct flight
Texans 1:05pm with a layover
Daters 12:45 / 2:05 layover in Frankfurt, Germany
Farmers 4:35pm
Team Sri Lanka is the first team to land in Amsterdam. They must travel to Amsterdam Train Central Station. Once there, they find the clue for the detour along with a Fast Forward. The girls op for the fast forward.
Traveling to the Van Gogh Café, the girls ride on a bus that can travel in the water. The twins call it a boat bus. To earn the fast forward, the girls have to eat 5 herrings each in 7 minutes. Oh, and the fish is raw. It didn’t stop the determination as they finish and win the fast forward
Sri Lanka ran to Ransdorp near where the Rembrandt's mistress lived behind the church. The girls won 5 grand each for their first place finish.
Back in Frankfurt, Germany, Abbie and Ryan are having a bad day. They missed their connecting flight. However, they booked another one. Whoops, this one has mechanical difficulties. Looks like we have to change planes. Oh no, The farmers have caught up with them, again.
Chippendales and Texans travel to Pofferjesboot for the Detour!
Back in Time
Organ the Grind
In back in time, teams must dress up like characters from the night watch painting and arrange the actors just like the portrait.
In organ the grind, one team member works the organ and the other collects tips. They need to collect 30 euro.
Chips and Texas choose the organ. Jaymes collects tips and gets about half way done when he realizes he needs to spice it up. The guys go shirtless. The euros start pouring in…. from MEN! Ha! BUT, a grandma with her grandchildren did come by and gave him 10 euros.
Both teams travel to Museum Geelvinck where the Double U-turn awaits. The performers hesitate on whether to use the U-turn but it is a competition. They use it on Abbie and Ryan as planned. Trey and Lexi use it on the Chips who already moved on, nullifying the second U-turn.
Roadblock
Teams have to pole vault across a ditch. James and Trey represent their teams as they fly across the ditch without effort. The teams proceed to the pit stop.
Abbie + Ryan and The Goat Farmers decide to finish the leg together. Why? I have no clue. They choose the Back in time detour. When they get to the Geelvinck Museum, the teams find out the Abbie and Ryan are U-turned. They are upset. It is like someone stole their puppy and ate it.
Josh wonders if they should wait for the other team. Josh knocks some sense to his partner by telling him that one of them will have to get eliminated. They both can't touch the mat at the same time. The Farmers move on and leave Abbie and Ryan behind.
We won't have a $2 million dollar winner this season.
