Super Shady (Copenhagen, Denmark)
The Snowboarders were the first out at 3:12pm - they get the clue to fly 3K mi to Copenhagen, Denmark - once they touch down they will drive themselves to the bell tower, climb to the top and search for their next clue. Caution - Double U-Turn ahead (another one? What, nobody was screwed last leg so you're going to try it again?)
-Andy says with 5 first places under their belts, people aren't smiling at them as much. In the cab they read due to limited availability of flights to Denmark they have all been booked on flights getting them to Copenhagen by 8:20am the next day but if they can find something better they are free to do so. They are going to try to do so.
-Ernie & Cindy are heading out right behind them and when they see the double U-Turn ahead Cindy says, "We are so using it." Ernie says they were pretty upset to have first place stolen from them so it's no more nice guys.
-Bill & Cathi are excited to be heading to Copenhagen - can't get much more contrasting climates from Malawi to Denmark.
-Marcus & Amani - they are the comeback kids, you can't get rid of us - not happy to see double U-Turn again.
-Laurence & Zac - Zac can't pronounce Copenhagen - I really do worry about the States educational system sometimes. They still want to use the U-Turn, hopefully on someone who hadn't already passed them this time.
-Lastly it's Sandy & Jeremy - (I keep forgetting about these two - I think it's time they go)
Everyone gets to the airport - Laurence & Zac decide to try and go through London to get a better flight to Copenhagen.
-Cindy & Ernie are talking to them about it - but they're not giving up any info - she calls them super shady... whatever lady - they're taking the risk, they don't have to tell you anything.
The flight takes off with everyone except Laurence & Zac (yeah, I'd be okay with Laurence leaving too - he is not my favourite person.) Their connection through London should get them to Copenhagen by 8:30pm.
-The flight with everyone else lands in Amsterdam and everyone is trying to book a better connection than the flight getting them in at 8:20am - Bill & Cathi and Ernie & Cindy find a flight getting them in at 11:00pm. The Snowboarders and Sandy & Jeremy are getting in at 10:35pm and Marcus & Amani figure everyone will be on the 8:20am flight so they are sitting back and unwinding. (WHAT?)
-Zac & Laurence land in Copenhagen at 8:30pm - they get to the Bell tower and find out it is closed until 7:30am the next day - they are going to bed down and wait it out.
-Marcus & Amani are sleeping at Amsterdam airport.
-10:35pm - Jeremy & Sandy and Andy & Tommy arrive and drive to the bell tower
-Marcus & Amani are sleeping at Amsterdam Airport
-11:00pm - Ernie & Cindy and Bill & Cathi land and drive to the bell tower.
-7:18am, Marcus & Amani are now awake in Amsterdam airport and haven't seen anyone all night (gee, ever wonder why?) 7:25am they are waiting alone - everyone must have gotten a flight out last night - (ya think?) He feels like they're out of the Race but she is still fighting to the end.
-7:30am - the rest of the teams are let into the bell tower and they troop up the 400 steps to look for their next clue - a combination of a flag at the top (-Borg Slot) and a banner on a nearby building (Frederiks) will tell them their next destination is Frederiksborg Slot. They all see the flag and Laurence & Zac take off. Cathi & Bill notice them unfurling the Frederiks on the nearby roof and get the whole thing - the Snowboarders see it and Cindy sees it but they are folding it back up... Jeremy & Sandy look at a map of all the castles (slot means castle) and decide it must be Rosenborg Slot.
-They take off in their cars - Sandy & Jeremy get to Rosenborg slot but it doesn't open until 10am and it looks like a restaurant - Sandy thinks it can't be right but they have no other idea.
-Laurence & Zac are the first team and drive right into the castle, Ernie & Cindy right behind them - they all get the clue to the ROADBLOCK from a woman in period costume: they must perform a dance that dates back to the Renaissance - after dressing in period garb, they will take lessons from an instructor on a three part dance - once they satisfy the Countess that they can keep in step with the professionals, they will get the next clue. Ernie and Zac head in to do the dancing.
-Ernie is laughing about the stockings and make up (oh yeah, they got make up at the Roadblock) they look so pretty. Cindy is loving it - they are teaching him to dance - it's so cute.
-Zac apparently used to front a rock & roll band - he's not proud of the dancing.
-Sandy & Jeremy finally decide to head back up the bell tower and they run into Amani & Marcus at the top - there goes their buffer - but to Amani & Marcus it is light at the end of the tunnel. Sandy sees the Frederiks this time.
-Cathi & Bill finally get to the castle - no idea where they parked - they hoof it in Cathi is ready to go back in time and dance.
-Ernie is the first one to try the dance and he messes up. Has to start over.
-Cindy is talking to Bill and finds out Bill & Cathi met when they were 12 and 13 and married the day after graduation from college. Wow, she says, we just met in a bar, over a shotsky. (Ha ha, classy) Bill - well, that's alright too. (He's so nice.)
-Andy & Tommy come running into the castle and the bearded one - Andy is doing the dancing.
-Zac is still practicing and Ernie gets the first dance down - he's on to the next which he also passes and then he's dancing with a man and he kicks butt on the third on too - Ernie is the first one through. They get the Route Info clue to drive themselves to Frilandmuseet and search for their next clue.
-In the car Cindy tells Ernie that Cathi was right on his tail - what about Zac? No, Zac has zero dancing skills. (Oh, poor kid, dad's gonna be angry.)
-Andy comes in all suited up and he actually cleans up quite nicely, fits right in with the hat and groomed beard.
-Jeremy & Sandy ask directions and Marcus & Amani are lost but he won't ask for directions... ho boy.
-Meanwhile, back at the castle - Cathi is dancing and doing well. Zac is still practicing and he just can't get it. Andy is impressing his teacher - Have you done this before? And Laurence is doing a slow burn. Cathi completes the Roadblock with flying colours and they get the clue to head out.
-Ernie & Cindy get to their next destination which is a picturesque farm in the countryside - and the clue is in the post box - he finds it - DETOUR - All Hopped Up or All Churned Out.
-In All Hopped Up -both team members must successfully lead a rabbit through a steeple chase course (a popular sport in Denmark - oh, those crazy Danes) After setting up the course, they must choose a rabbit and lead it through the course without knocking anything over - if they can hop to it, they'll get the next clue.
-In All Churned Up - using two churns, they must work cream into 6 sticks of butter - once they have stamped the finished product, a dairy maid will hand them their next clue.
-Cindy wants to avoid working with animals after the sheep - they decide on Churned out (but the rabbits are so cute!) Cindy is startled by a goat and runs away (ha ha - okay, she is not a farm girl.)
-They are shown what to do and get to churning - they quickly realize this one could be harder than it sounds.
-Again, back at the castle - Zac is finally making his attempt at the dancing - and he keeps messing up - Andy, on the other hand, is dancing through with flying colours (I can see that the Snowboarders being good at everything would be annoying to the other teams but since they're my team - it's Awesome!) Andy gets the next clue and Zac goes back to the drawing board.
-Jeremy & Sandy finally arrive at the castle as Andy & Tommy are leaving - they tell them that Zac & Laurence are still in there - and Sandy is going to do the dancing.
-And... lost somewhere in Denmark - Marcus has finally decided to ask for directions and he just pulls over to the side of a busy road but no one is stopping for them - he says he doesn't think they like us very much over here (Oh, it's not a race thing - you're just standing in the middle of the road... ) Finally someone stops and he finds out they have to back track - but he puts it in football terms which I don't understand and they keep on going.
-Back at the farm - the churning continues - Cindy takes a look and they have some butter happening, she starts stamping them out and Ernie continues with the churning (I'm not even going to go there, with him being better at that motion than she is... okay, so I went there.)
-Cathi & Bill get to the farm and she doesn't think she can do the rabbit thing so they decide to churn as well.
-Cindy & Ernie are stamping out their 6th stick of butter and they milkmaid rejects them - oh no - a couple are a little messy so they will restamp.
-At the castle Zac is trying the dancing again and Sandy is busy learning the routine - they haven't seen hide nor hair of Marcus & Amani. And Zac finally passes! Good for him, he looked so relieved. Laurence tells the camera, right in front of Zac, that he could have probably learned it faster but that's his forte, that's what he does. (Um, so why did you make Zac do it? I think Laurence is one of those guys who thinks and says he can do everything when in actuality he's a total dumb ass.)
-Ernie & Cindy finally pass muster with the butter and they get the clue to make their way on foot to the Karlstrup Windmill - she remembers seeing a windmill when they drove up and it's right there - it's the double U-Turn. Ernie says, "Do you really want to U-Turn somebody?" "YES! Bill & Cathi, they're right on our tails... They're probably going to hate us." (So, she wants to be mean, but doesn't want to be mean. I thought for sure she'd want to U-Turn the Snowboarders after last leg but I guess coming in first is always her priority.) And she confirms it in the car - I want to win a friggin leg!
-They got the clue to the Pit Stop - they must drive back to Copenhagen and find Havet Ship, a ship converted into a hotel, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
-Andy & Tommy arrive as Bill & Cathi finish the butter stamping and get their clue to head to the windmill - The Snowboarders ask Bill & Cathi how the butter churning went and she tells them it's do-able. Figuring animals are always hard - they head in to churn butter.
-Bill & Cathi get to the windmill and see they have been U-Turned - not happy about it they decide to U-Turn Zac & Laurence, knowing they were still somewhere behind them, hoping it would give them more time to complete the rabbits. Cathi mutters, "Bastards" under her breath (Gasp! I'm shocked. Ha ha - good for her, get mad.) I'm just glad we get to see the bunnies - so cute.
- They set up the course and choose a lop-eared grey rabbit - darn, he knocks a pole down. You have to get moving faster. They decide to change up rabbits and speckles proves to be a winner. They head back to the windmill and get the clue to the Pit Stop - still going on about how mean some people can be. (Really it's surprising to you how mean people can be? Especially on a Race where money's involved... no one is that naive.)
-Marcus & Amani are finally dancing - well she is - Marcus is commiserating with Jeremy on how hard the day has been ... the girls are dancing. Sandy completes it and they get the clue to head for the farm - Amani is learning and Marcus is almost crying in the corner. She completes the dancing rather easily and they head out in last place.
-Zac & Laurence have arrived at the farm and they decide to churn butter - little do they know they'll have to do both. The Snowboarders are stamping out their last sticks of butter and Andy is still looking much cleaner after his dancing grooming - throws me a little. They get the okay on their sticks and then it's a butter fight - they are such children (hahaha, but know how to have fun.)
-They get to the U-Turn and see they haven't been U-turned so they can head on to the Pit Stop (they are so bleeping lucky these two... they've come in first 5 times and no one U-Turned them - unbelievable.) Tommy even says it, "Can you believe we weren't U-Turned?" "No." "Me neither."
-Sandy realizes they have been driving in the wrong direction - she's navigating from the back and told him she knew where they were - but apparently neglected to tell him they needed to go North...
-Zac & Laurence have moved on to the stamping of their butter.
-Marcus & Amani arrive at the farm and decide to do the rabbits - Yay, more bunnies.
-Zac & Laurence get the clue to head to the windmill.
-Marcus & Amani choose a feisty bunny and she runs it through the course to his wild cheers and encouragement - Ha ha - I love his enthusiasm. Now it's his turn and I think he can't wait.
-Jeremy & Sandy are still driving... they're not fighting, she seems oblivious and he's just fuming. They stop at a little farm - not the right place but she confirms they're now heading in the right direction. Oh, hold on, back towards Copenhagen... yikes.
-Laurence & Zac have just found out they were U-Turned by Bill & Cathi - Laurence says it's just ridiculous (whatever man, you said you were going to use the U-Turn if you could, someone beat you to it - suck it up.)
-Marcus is sweet talking the rabbit - I've had a frustrating day and you can make it better - the rabbit performs and he tells it, "I love you." (Aw, I love Marcus.) They get the clue as Zac & Laurence are setting up their course. Marcus & Amani are now in 4th place.
-Jeremy & Sandy finally arrive at the farm but miss the clue box - they see Zac & Laurence doing the rabbits and think it looks hard so when they find the clue they choose to churn the butter.
-Laurence chooses the black and white speckled bunny and he performs like he's on steroids - with one ear up and one ear down - I love the bunny jumping - it's so cute! They complete the all hopped up and get the clue to the Pit Stop. They take off and drive in the wrong direction and then get stuck in traffic - uh oh.
-Jeremy & Sandy finish the butter churning and see they have not been U-Turned so they can take off for the Pit Stop as well.
Here's How They Finished:1) Ernie & Cindy - won a trip for 2 to Fiji (Oh, looks so nice.) She says they learned from the last leg to use the U-Turn on the team right behind them to secure first place.
2) Bill & Cathi - Get there at the same time as the Snowboarders but they don't run them down.
3) Andy & Tommy - Tommy says good for Ernie & Cindy they deserved this one - Bill and Cathi say they don't have quite the same kindness in their hearts, kind of like kicking your mother & father to the curb. (wow, overly dramatic much?)
4) Amani & Marcus - they are the comeback kids, that's for sure.
5) Jeremy & Sandy - Phil is pleased to tell them they are still in the Race - wow, so lucky.
6) Zac & Laurence - ***ELIMINATED*** Fair enough, we had a good time. You have to live life and this was one way to do it, a quick whisk around the world, maybe next time he'll do it slower, maybe in a yacht. Zac says it's not all about the money, some of the poorest people he's met have been the kindest and most generous. He's glad he had this experience with his dad.
SO, with the surprise elimination of Zac & Laurence, Carol-Anne D, Laura H, Shelley A and Drew C are out of the pools.
Next week: Teams Act out (actual acting, on a stage), Spin out (riding a teacup like amusement ride) and Pose down (like bodybuilders, in bikinis)... where are they going? Should be a good one.
Have a great week everyone :)
