I Cannot Deal With Your Psycho Behavior (Austria)
The episode opened in Varanasi, India where the Globetrotters are the first to depart at 2:07am - they open the clue that tells them to fly to Vienna, Austria - a city that's 40degrees colder than India - once there they must find a marked car (product placement - brand new Ford Focus) and get their next clue.
-The Globetrotters are glad to be leaving India, especially to go to Austia - where the Terminator's from... they do a bad impression - I'll be back, but not to India, hopefully.
-Zev & Justin are the next out at 2:12am - they head to a travel agency specified by the clue and say they want the same thing as the Globetrotters, but faster.
-Kisha & Jen head out at 2:53am - they are enjoying running the Race together - they've always been close as they were raised by a single mom, they have each other's backs- there is not getting rid of blood.
-Gary & Mallory -3:30am - Mallory doesn't seem to happy to be going somewhere cold - she's also nervous because it was the 8th leg that did them in the last time (flashback to them lost in Oman and her praying) She says, "The finish line is fresh in our minds and we'd like to be the ones running not on the sidelines clapping."
-Cowboys - 3:35am - feel they dodged a bullet on the last leg but they're not sure if they can do it again. The closer they get to the end, the less room there is for mistakes. The Cowboys are about ready to get out of India - Jet, "I'm done playing cowboys and Indians."
-Kent & Vyxsin - 3:44am - They're the only dating couple left - a romantic relationship is something different, it can just get to a point where you just want to yell, "Get away from me." (I'm sorry, but I don't believe they are dating... longtime friends yes, romantic, I don't see it.)
-At the first travel agency, the Globetrotters and Zev & Justin find two possible routes to Austria, the most direct gets them in at 6:00am - the one with more connections will get them there at 5:35am - They decide to go with the earlier arrival.
-Kisha & Jen are at a different travel agency and they also book the 5:35am arrival - Gary & Mallory come in and say they want the same as them.
-The Cowboys come in to the agency where the Globetrotters et al are and learn of the two options - they say every flight they've been on in this country so far has been delayed 20 to 30 minutes and they are leery of the multiple connections - they decide to book the more direct route scheduled to get in at 6:00am.
-Kent & Vyxsin show up at the same travel agency as the sisters et al and they are bickering, bicker bicker bicker - they book the same flight as everyone there - arriving at 5:35am (so the Cowboys have set themselves up on a later flight again - I sure hope they know what they're doing.)
Fisrt flight arrives at 5:35am as scheduled - they all run for the parking garage and choose their cars - Phil is on a screen in the cars telling them they'll get their next destination from the new My Ford Touch system - they have to put the car in reverse which will activate the back up camera and it will show them the words Schloss Schallanburg written on the floor behind them (by the way, the winners of this leg will both win a 2012 Ford Focus - which they can drive while drinking Snapple and planning a trip via Travelocity... okay, we get it, no one watches commercials anymore so they have to infiltrate the show - doesn't mean I gotta like it.) They must now drive to the castle (Schloss Schallanburg) to get their next clue.
-Kent & Vyxsin were the first to the cars but Zev & Justin are the first out of the parking garage - they all start leaving though as they read the clue from teh back up camera. Kent, "I love this Ford Focus." (Kiss ass.)
-Gary & Mallory can't figure out what they need to do to find the clue. He's scrolling through the menu... Just throw it in reverse - these two need to learn to listen.
-The Cowboys flight has landed and they are heading to the garage.
-Gary & Mallory reset and listen to Phil again - they go back to the starting position and finally figure out the clue - well, she writes down Schallanburg Schloss - but that should get them there.
-The Cowboys are the last to head out - they get the clue and know there is no one behind them - they can't make any mistakes.
-Justin & Zev, the Goths and Kisha & Jen stop at a gas station to get a map and ask directions - the same guy shows them all where they need to go on the map and Vyxsin said she knew where they needed to go (I wouldn't hold my breath though.)
-The Globetrotters get directions from a hotel (it looked like) they guy prints them up some maps.
-Gary & Mallory get a map & directions at a gas station too - she excited they're going to a castle (I'm sure she has always wanted to be a Princess.)
-The Cowboys ask a truck driver for directions to Schallanburg (I didn't hear them mention the Schloss part though :(
-Zev & Justin are the first team to the castle - Zev doesn't like cold weather... (I think he's going to be taking over for Ron in the always complaining department.) They run through a courtyard and see a girl in medieval garb who gives them a big book that has the name of the National Library on the first page - figuring this is where they need to go, they head out.
-The Goths and the Sisters get to the castle and they get the books - head out.
-The Globetrotters get to the castle - get the book, take off.
- Gary & Mallory get there and get the book and head out for Vienna.
- The Cowboys, bringing up the rear, get the book too - Cord says they've been making a habit of starting in last and you can't do that and expect to win a million dollars. (Don't get down on yourselves, just get better!)
-Kent is driving and missed the first turn - blames her for not telling him in time - she tells him to stop being a kid... Uh, oh, I've been on one of those car rides before - it doesn't end well.
-Zev & Justin arrive in Vienna and find the library - they go in and hand the book to a guy with a bookshelf backpack - he climbs a ladder and picks their clue from the stacks - DETOUR - Long Hard Walk or Quick And Easy Meal (oh jeez, the eating challenge is never quick and easy)
-In The Long Hard Walk - they must head to a museum - the former office of Sigmund Freud - and working together carry an analysts couch one mile to the University of Vienna where Freud once studied and later lectured - once they deliver the couch, they'll receive their next clue.
-In Quick and Easy Meal - teams head to the Wiener Riesenrad - a giant ferris wheel made famous in the Orson Wells film The Third Man - they will pick up two local meals and enter a dining car, then accompanied by local Viennese music - they must eat all the food in one 12 minute revolution of the wheel (That is big plate of food - wiener schnitzel, salad and a large slice of chocolate cake) - ouch.
-Zev & Justin decide to eat the food.
-Jen & Kisha are the next one's there - they decide to eat as well but Jen is a little worried.
-The Globetrotters and the Goths show up but I don't know if they go in the wrong door - they can't find where to get their clue and are lost in the library.
-Gary & Mallory get there and get the clue no problem - Gary wants to do the eating challenge - he says he'll eat his and half of hers... oh no, that doesn't sound like a good plan.
-The Globetrotters figure it out and find the clue, they're going to do the couch. (I wonder if Big Easy remembers it was Freud that proved their undoing the last time they raced.)
- Flight Time stops to pee on the building (nice) and the Goths run right by - they get the clue and also decide to do the couch.
-Jen & Kisha are the first team to the ferris wheel - Zev & Justin are right behind them. The girls get their food and hump in a car - that is a lot of food!
-Zev & Justin get theirs, enter a car and just start stuffing - Zev says "right away we were like sweating... that's a lot of schnitzel."
-Mallory doesn't seem too worried about this challenge - says her Dad's going to help eat hers and he eats that fast anyway. The Globetrotters are okay throwing up if it gets them through this.
-Back on the Ferris wheel Jen wonders what happens if they don't finish in 12 minutes? (Good question - I bet they have to go again with a new plate) - Kisha says, don't even think like that, we're going to finish - they are half way through and slowing down.
-Zev is realizing this was a terrible idea - I hate wiener schnitzel! They belch to make room and try to get a second wind...
-The girls don't finish all the food by the time the ride is over and find out they will have to try and eat a whole new plate of food if they go again - Oh hell no. They are switching tasks and have to go find the museum. Gary & Mallory run by them when they are leaving and ask if it's hard - Jen says "It's food" and Kisha says, "Y'all will be alright." (Uh, I don't think so - hahaha - the sisters have an evil streak.)
-Zev & Justin finish less of the food than the sisters did and they agree to pretend like they finished it if they see another team - they pass Gary & Mallory and tell them it was delicious, go get it! (Oh, so mean.)
-Mallory says she is going to finish it - she's not taking in all these calories for nothing!
-The Globetrotters have finally found the Sigmund Freud museum and go pick up the couch - they have no idea the significance of the couch - I guess he liked to relax on one... (Really?)
-Kent & Vyxsin get there as the boys are leaving and don't notice them use the dolly provided - they just try to carry the couch the whole way - (Hint, little board with wheels will make it much easier.)
-Kisha & Jen get to the museum and they're moving slow up the stairs - I'm sure the super full belly is not going to make this task any easier... Jen says she may barf on the couch.
-Gary & Mallory at 8 minutes in still have a lot of food to get through - they are trying to power through it but I don't see anyone eating that much food in 12 minutes - (it's starting to make me feel sick just watching.) They don't make it (surprise.)
-The Cowboys have finally found the Library and get the clue to the Detour - they decide on the couch (Good Boys! Hopefully the eating people will be slowed down enough that the Cowboys can catch up.)
-Gary & Mallory are switching tasks and apologizing to each other - she says she'll throw up and try again (ugh, that's dedication) He says he's sorry he didn't listen to her. Anytime you have to do both sides of a Detour, that's bad (and I think Gary is the master of the understatement.)
-The Cowboys know they are in last place and really have to kick it up a notch to try and catch up - they take off at a run for the museum.
-Everyone is trying to get the couches through the streets of Vienna - Big Easy slings it up on his back to get it up a hill - Kent & Vyxsin are still trying to carry the thing with the dolly on top and as usual she's doing most of the heavy lifting. Kisha is worried about the covering dragging on the ground, Jen says "it didn't say anything about having to keep it clean."
-Zev & Justin get to the musuem and are carrying the couch down the stairs - Zev complains, "Oh my back" (see, he's the new Ron) and Justin tells him to settle down - they still have a long way to go.
-Back out on the street Kent is yelling that the couch is going to fall (more like he's going to drop it) and, fed up, Vyxsin just drops her end - Quit whining!
-The sisters decide the dolly is giving them too much trouble and pick the couch up.
-The Cowboys see Zev & Justin on the street with a couch and it was like the clouds had parted for them - All right - we're still in this. They take off with more giddyup in their step to the museum.
-The Globetrotters get to the University and as they were carrying the couch up some marble stairs - Flight Time - who was going up backwards - had his feet slip out from under him and he landed flat on his butt on the stairs - (OUCH! I've done that - and it hurts - I bet he's going to be bruised up and sore next leg.)
-They delivery the couch and get the next clue - Drive yourself to the city of Salzberg, go to a certain restaurant to get your next clue (they wouldn't make them eat again would they?) Big Easy is asking who Sigmund Freud was and Flight Time tells him he used to have dreams about sleeping with his mother and stuff... (I just... I don't know what to say so I'll just leave that alone.)
-Kent is still/again whining - Vyxsin is ready to smack him.
-Jen is wondering why they have to slog this couch through the streets to some ladies office(?) when she could have just paid someone to do it. (Yeah, like this has anything to do with real life.)
-Justin is getting very little help from Zev - Justing has the couch on the dolly upright and is drapping it backwards - Zev is just walking behind him carrying pillows. Argghh.
-The cowboys are hoofing it - Jet says it might have been faster had he laid on the couch, told Cord about his feelings and he could push me - Cord, "I don't need to know about his feelings that bad."
-Gary & Mallory finally get to the museum and pick up a couch - it's heavy - hopefully Mallory can pull her weight.
-The Goths get to the university - Kent - whine, whine, whine -the door - it's heavy - Vyxsin puts down her end and has to show him - that is where we have to go - stop whining, your attitude is bringing me down (she's getting quiet - he should just run, run away now.) They deliver the couch and get the clue to head to Salzberg. In the car she tells him she's proud of him but tries to explain his constant whining makes this harder psychologically (Yeah, he heard wha wha whawhawha wha... )
-Jen & Kisha get to the University and deliver the couch right behind the Goths - also get the clue for Salzberg.
-Zev & Justin - who am I kidding - Justin is still struggling to move the couch through the streets - they get tot he University and I don't think they've gone to the right place - someone tells them they have to go upstairs and they are carrying it up multiple flights... I don't think that's right.
-The Cowboys are still going great guns, they know Zev & Justin are still ahead of them but they have caught glimpses of them - the Cowboys go to the right place and are the 4th team to deliver the couch - they have succeeded to pass 2 teams.
-Once up all the stairs Zev & Justin ask again and they're told the place they need to go is downstairs - Are you serious right now? (That would suck - anyone who knows Justin in real life had better not ask him to help them move in the near future.) Back down the stairs they go and see they are now in 5th place.
-Gary & Mallory get the couch delivered and are currently in last place.
-Everyone is driving, driving, driving - the Globetrotters are feeling good having left the Detour in first place.
-Vyxsin tells Kent not to turn, but it says Salzberg and he takes the exit anyway - Damn it, get back over there... bicker, bicker, bicker.
-Zev & Justin see the Cowboys on the the road and quietly pass them - well, it appears the Cowboys don't drive as fast as they run.
-The Goths are back on city streets as opposed to the highway - She tells him, "I can't handle your psycho behavior. If we get through today, I swear, I'm never going to speak to you again." (That's not good.)
-The Globetrotters find the clue box and get the clue for the ROADBLOCK, Who feels as lucky as can be? (Oh, that was a Mary Poppins reference - chim, chim-en-y, chim chim cheree - Love that movie.) That would be Big Easy. -One team member will dress in a chimney sweep uniform and climb to the roof where they must use a weighted instrument to clean their chimney - once finished, they must head downstairs to the clean out door and open it to retrieve their next clue.
-I get a kick out of them always stuffing Big Easy into little costumes- this one is cute with the top hat... but he really is a very large man.
-Zev & Justin get to Salzberg and Zev is already worrying himself into a state about having to do something by himself. The Sisters and the Goths are also there - driving around looking for the clue box.
-Out on the Highway the Cowboys are still heading to Salzberg - Gary & Mallory are also on the road behind them.
-Big Easy has climbed the roof - he had to plumb the sweep line up and down the chimney three times - he's now down in the basement retrieving his clue in a cloud of ashes.
-Zev & Justin have found the clue box and Zev heads in to be the chimney sweep - he passes Big Easy and they confirm they're the only two teams there - for now.
-Easy and Flight time open the clue and it tells them to make their way to the Villa Trapp - the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race. (It is the former estate of the Von Trapp family - I also love the Sound of Music... I wonder what all the references to movie musicals is advertising this episode.)
-Zev was nervous when he saw he had to use a rope for the sweeping - makes a "That's what she said" joke which was a little inappropriate with his female sweep instructor - what can you, he's awkward.
-The Sisters and the Goths both find the clue box and Kisha & Vyxsin are getting their sweeping on.
-Zev is just finishing up when the girls get to the roof - He heads down for the clue, he and Justin read it and ask locals on the street for directions before they take off.
-The Globetrotters have stopped to ask a cab driver for directions.
-Kisha & Vyxsin both get the clue to the Pit Stop and take off in their cars.
-The Cowboys find the clue box and Cord is feeling as lucky can be - his sweep guide confirm the girls dig the uniform and Cord thinks he's found a new calling - this isn't the first time I've used a rope.
-The Globetrotters drive right past the house - it's that great big yellow mansion!
-Cord finishes the sweeping and they get the clue for the Pit Stop.
-Gary & Mallory get to the Roadblock clue box and she says Gary is feeling lucky as can be. They head inside as the Cowboys are leaving and she asks if they're last - the Cowboys, honestly, say they haven't seen nobody (but there is only one chimney sweep left there to help them...)
-The Cowboys jump in their car and say they cannot get lost (and we all know they do tend to get lost.)
-Gary finishes the chimney sweeping and gets the clue to the Pit Stop - The Sound of Music family house?
Here's How They Finished:
1) Zev & Justin - What just happened!?! They both win a brand new Ford Focus!
2) The Globetrotters - Big Easy is disappointed they didn't come in first.
3) Kent & Vyxsin - she says it's strange after such a hard day for them, this is the best they've ever done in the race - maybe we just have to fight more. (They laugh, but I have noticed that teams that fight do tend to do well - unless they totally self destruct.)
4) Kisha & Jen - get their a step ahead of...
5) Jet & Cord - Phil says Cord has been racing so hard his cowboy hat is dirty - when we win, I'm gonna git me a new cowboy hat. But you're at the back of the pack - Cord acknowledges it's time to step it up or they're going to go home.
6) Gary & Mallory - I'm sorry to tell you this has put you at the back of the pack but this is a NON-ELIMINATION round. They are still in it but will face a Speed bump on the next leg. Mallory feels like this is their third shot at the Race and says it is a blessing that they had better do something with. Now we gotta win. (I can't help but like Little Mary Sunshine - she has a great attitude for the Race - but as the Goths showed this leg - maybe they would be doing better if they fought a little.)
Next Week: They head to Switzerland - Gary & Mallory get a slow cab driver - they have to ride mopeds (Jet feels like Dumb and Dumber... I'll leave that alone) and there is more eating - looks like cheese fondue.
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen

-They delivery the couch and get the next clue - Drive yourself to the city of Salzberg, go to a certain restaurant to get your next clue (they wouldn't make them eat again would they?) Big Easy is asking who Sigmund Freud was and Flight Time tells him he used to have dreams about sleeping with his mother and stuff... (I just... I don't know what to say so I'll just leave that alone.)
-Kent is still/again whining - Vyxsin is ready to smack him.
-Jen is wondering why they have to slog this couch through the streets to some ladies office(?) when she could have just paid someone to do it. (Yeah, like this has anything to do with real life.)
-Justin is getting very little help from Zev - Justing has the couch on the dolly upright and is drapping it backwards - Zev is just walking behind him carrying pillows. Argghh.
-The cowboys are hoofing it - Jet says it might have been faster had he laid on the couch, told Cord about his feelings and he could push me - Cord, "I don't need to know about his feelings that bad."
-Gary & Mallory finally get to the museum and pick up a couch - it's heavy - hopefully Mallory can pull her weight.
-The Goths get to the university - Kent - whine, whine, whine -the door - it's heavy - Vyxsin puts down her end and has to show him - that is where we have to go - stop whining, your attitude is bringing me down (she's getting quiet - he should just run, run away now.) They deliver the couch and get the clue to head to Salzberg. In the car she tells him she's proud of him but tries to explain his constant whining makes this harder psychologically (Yeah, he heard wha wha whawhawha wha... )
-Jen & Kisha get to the University and deliver the couch right behind the Goths - also get the clue for Salzberg.
-Zev & Justin - who am I kidding - Justin is still struggling to move the couch through the streets - they get tot he University and I don't think they've gone to the right place - someone tells them they have to go upstairs and they are carrying it up multiple flights... I don't think that's right.
-The Cowboys are still going great guns, they know Zev & Justin are still ahead of them but they have caught glimpses of them - the Cowboys go to the right place and are the 4th team to deliver the couch - they have succeeded to pass 2 teams.
-Once up all the stairs Zev & Justin ask again and they're told the place they need to go is downstairs - Are you serious right now? (That would suck - anyone who knows Justin in real life had better not ask him to help them move in the near future.) Back down the stairs they go and see they are now in 5th place.
-Gary & Mallory get the couch delivered and are currently in last place.
-Everyone is driving, driving, driving - the Globetrotters are feeling good having left the Detour in first place.
-Vyxsin tells Kent not to turn, but it says Salzberg and he takes the exit anyway - Damn it, get back over there... bicker, bicker, bicker.
-Zev & Justin see the Cowboys on the the road and quietly pass them - well, it appears the Cowboys don't drive as fast as they run.
-The Goths are back on city streets as opposed to the highway - She tells him, "I can't handle your psycho behavior. If we get through today, I swear, I'm never going to speak to you again." (That's not good.)
-The Globetrotters find the clue box and get the clue for the ROADBLOCK, Who feels as lucky as can be? (Oh, that was a Mary Poppins reference - chim, chim-en-y, chim chim cheree - Love that movie.) That would be Big Easy. -One team member will dress in a chimney sweep uniform and climb to the roof where they must use a weighted instrument to clean their chimney - once finished, they must head downstairs to the clean out door and open it to retrieve their next clue.
-I get a kick out of them always stuffing Big Easy into little costumes- this one is cute with the top hat... but he really is a very large man.
-Zev & Justin get to Salzberg and Zev is already worrying himself into a state about having to do something by himself. The Sisters and the Goths are also there - driving around looking for the clue box.
-Out on the Highway the Cowboys are still heading to Salzberg - Gary & Mallory are also on the road behind them.
-Big Easy has climbed the roof - he had to plumb the sweep line up and down the chimney three times - he's now down in the basement retrieving his clue in a cloud of ashes.
-Zev & Justin have found the clue box and Zev heads in to be the chimney sweep - he passes Big Easy and they confirm they're the only two teams there - for now.
-Easy and Flight time open the clue and it tells them to make their way to the Villa Trapp - the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race. (It is the former estate of the Von Trapp family - I also love the Sound of Music... I wonder what all the references to movie musicals is advertising this episode.)
-Zev was nervous when he saw he had to use a rope for the sweeping - makes a "That's what she said" joke which was a little inappropriate with his female sweep instructor - what can you, he's awkward.
-The Sisters and the Goths both find the clue box and Kisha & Vyxsin are getting their sweeping on.
-Zev is just finishing up when the girls get to the roof - He heads down for the clue, he and Justin read it and ask locals on the street for directions before they take off.
-The Globetrotters have stopped to ask a cab driver for directions.
-Kisha & Vyxsin both get the clue to the Pit Stop and take off in their cars.
-The Cowboys find the clue box and Cord is feeling as lucky can be - his sweep guide confirm the girls dig the uniform and Cord thinks he's found a new calling - this isn't the first time I've used a rope.
-The Globetrotters drive right past the house - it's that great big yellow mansion!
-Cord finishes the sweeping and they get the clue for the Pit Stop.
-Gary & Mallory get to the Roadblock clue box and she says Gary is feeling lucky as can be. They head inside as the Cowboys are leaving and she asks if they're last - the Cowboys, honestly, say they haven't seen nobody (but there is only one chimney sweep left there to help them...)
-The Cowboys jump in their car and say they cannot get lost (and we all know they do tend to get lost.)
-Gary finishes the chimney sweeping and gets the clue to the Pit Stop - The Sound of Music family house?
Here's How They Finished:
1) Zev & Justin - What just happened!?! They both win a brand new Ford Focus!
2) The Globetrotters - Big Easy is disappointed they didn't come in first.
3) Kent & Vyxsin - she says it's strange after such a hard day for them, this is the best they've ever done in the race - maybe we just have to fight more. (They laugh, but I have noticed that teams that fight do tend to do well - unless they totally self destruct.)
4) Kisha & Jen - get their a step ahead of...
5) Jet & Cord - Phil says Cord has been racing so hard his cowboy hat is dirty - when we win, I'm gonna git me a new cowboy hat. But you're at the back of the pack - Cord acknowledges it's time to step it up or they're going to go home.
6) Gary & Mallory - I'm sorry to tell you this has put you at the back of the pack but this is a NON-ELIMINATION round. They are still in it but will face a Speed bump on the next leg. Mallory feels like this is their third shot at the Race and says it is a blessing that they had better do something with. Now we gotta win. (I can't help but like Little Mary Sunshine - she has a great attitude for the Race - but as the Goths showed this leg - maybe they would be doing better if they fought a little.)
Next Week: They head to Switzerland - Gary & Mallory get a slow cab driver - they have to ride mopeds (Jet feels like Dumb and Dumber... I'll leave that alone) and there is more eating - looks like cheese fondue.
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
