Taste Your Salami (Turin, Italy)
The fourth leg started on the stairs where they Pit Stopped last leg - Art & JJ are the first out at 5:10pm and I'm sure all the teams will be happy to learn they are leaving Paraguay (since the last leg was so tough) for Turin, Italy. Once they arrive in Turin, Italy's motor city, they must drive themselves to the Lingotto building to find their next clue.
-Art & JJ head to a travel agency to book tickets and they find out the first flight out is at 9:15am the next day and they will arrive in Italy at 10:35am the following day (Ouch!) Art & JJ feel they are the team to beat, having the intellect and the strength for the Race, but they're not too happy to learn that all the teams will likely be on the same flight and the mad scramble will continue again in Italy. (That's the way this game works.)
-2nd team to depart is Big Brother, Rachel and Brendon - at 9:59pm (wow, Art & JJ killed the last leg) - they are planning a wedding and maybe the Race is a preview of the honeymoon (only if you win the million dollars and can afford to do it on your own.)
-3rd team out are the Jersey Shore - all they know about Paraguay is the girls are hot as h*ll (shaking my head) but so are Italian girls, they're not picky. (Oh, boys.)
-Mark & Bopper, 10:08pm - "Italy! We're goin' somewheres tropical!" I laugh until Bopper makes it real - he's got a daughter with respiratory health issues and he's running the race for her, to try and improve her life (aww).
-They all start heading out one after the other and everyone is heading to the travel agency except Mark & Bopper who are ogling women while stuck in traffic heading to the airport... all the other teams at the travel agency are wondering where the Kentucky boys got to...
-At the airport Mark & Bopper run into Art & JJ at the food court - they ask what flight they got on and they say they're fixing to get tickets right now - Art & JJ tell them they were supposed to do that first - they have to go all the way back to the travel agency then come back to the airport. (Oh no, never share your sad story, it's bad luck :))
-Meanwhile Vanessa & Ralph, the last team, are heading out at 12:15am - they get to the travel agency and are told the flight might be full - Vanessa takes that opportunity to make fun of BB Rachel's sparkly top (really? You're hoping this leg goes better, stop with the bad juju.)
-Mark & Bopper are on their way back to the travel agency hoping there are tickets left for them... at different agencies - Vanessa & Ralph get tickets on the flight arriving in Turin at 10:35am and Mark & Bopper get tickets arriving at 11:50am (Oh no!) unaware they're on a different flight, Bopper is still stoked to be "goin' It-ly."
-Next morning when the teams are all together waiting to get on the connecting flight, Mark & Bopper realize they are on a later flight and try to get standby tickets - but the flight is full and they are SOL - stuck 1:15 minutes behind.
-The first flight lands in Turin and everyone is driving themselves to get the next clue - they are having American problems - no street signs, everyone going every direction... BB Rachel, "I understand why everyone hates Americans, we're idiots." (hahaha) And the Guidos, of course, it's all about women - one of them used to date an Italian girl so he doesn't trust them, the other has an Italian girlfriend and he does trust them (Oh, so glad a whole country full of women have been redeemed - ugh.)
-Army Dave is backseat driving and so testy that Rachel pulls over and makes him drive (oh, that's going to be trouble.)
-Mississippi girls have trouble getting out of the airport and have to change drivers - Kerri doesn't drive stick very well. They have lost the group.
-Art & JJ are the first team to arrive at Lingotto Fierre just ahead of BB Rachel & Brendon - they start running up a big looping ramp (it's alike a big parking structure). All the rest of the teams start arriving and are not excited about the run up the ramp - Art & JJ get to the top and get the clue to the Fast Forward - Land a Helicopter. One team member must pilot a remote controlled helicopter while the other team member wears a model of the building on his head - once they land the helicopter perfectly on the building, they'll get the Fast Forward and can proceed directly to the Pit Stop. Art & JJ are going to go for it.
-The other choice is the Roadblock - Rappel 120ft down the inside of the spiral section of the Lingatto building (where they just ran up the ramp to the roof) and on the way down grab a clue suspended from ropes. If they are not able to grab a clue in the 2 minutes allotted they must go back up and try again (oof). All the other teams are doing the Roadblock.
-At the Fast Forward - Art & JJ are disappointed to find out it's not a real helicopter - models, what the heck! Art apparently isn't that good with the remote control toys - and JJ just keep still - sheesh.
-BB Rachel and Danny/Guido are rappelling - they both get a clue no problem - (except for the wedgie) - the clue tells them to head to the National Automobile museum and they must park using the Ford Focus' automatic park feature (yeah, the whole episode is a Ford commercial) then go into the museum and find the 1916 Tin Lizzy, which has their next clue on the seat. (It's a little box, what's in there?)
-Kerri & Stacy still haven't found the Lingotto building - driving around Turin.
-Mark & Bopper finally arrive in Italy. Mark, "Italy, that's all the Italian I know." And they're driving to the Lingatto building.
-Army Dave & Rachel get the clues to the Fast Forward and the Roadblock and figuring someone's already doing the FF have decided she's going to rappel. While she's getting suited up he reads that the FF is landing a helicopter, and being a helicopter pilot Dave wants to go do it but Rachel asks if he's ever flown a hand held helicopter?
-You don't know if that's what it is.
-What, they're going to get you to fly a real helicopter?
-If that's your attitude, I'll just meet you down there... he stalks off in a huff - yeah, these two both have poopy diapers this leg.
-They show Art & JJ - JJ's trying to put his head under the helicopter - things are not going well.
-Back at the rappel - Vanessa is stalled at the clue - she can't reach it and her 2 minutes elapsed - she has to go down to the bottom - run back up and try again.
-Meanwhile Army Dave is hoping Rachel improves her demeanor or this is going to be a long leg - (Uh, I seem to remember him starting with the attitude in the car, or was that just me?)
-Agent Jamie stalls out too and she has to start over again.
-Rachel saw what happened to the other two and she gets a swing going so she can grab her clue no problem - does she get praise from hubby - nope, "Hurry up, we're ahead now." (I love you too dear.)
-At the Automobile Museum, it's Ford commercial time as Big Brother uses active assist to park the car - Oh, hold on, they're going to fight first.
-The Guidos get there and successfully let the car park itself (if these two can do it, what's Brendon's problem?) They are the first team into the museum and they start looking for the old car.
-Rachel is screeching at Brendon that he's embarrassing and can't treat her that way (huh?) and he turtles, Babe, I'm sorry. There is talk of quitting the race - but alas, that's not going to happen (how can they remain on TV if they quit.)
-JJ is losing his patience with the helicopter thing - "Do you think you can do it in the next 1/2 hour?" Art, "Eventually." (Hmm, that's not a yes.)
-Vanessa and Jamie are trying the rappelling again and they both get a swing going this time and get the clues. Ralph goes in to kiss Vanessa and bumps her nose, "That was the face. Do you know how much this nose cost?" (Oh yeah, I have the feeling she can be quite the princess that one.)
-They hope Art & JJ don't get the FF - but cut to... Art finally landing the helicopter on JJ's head! Yay! White-guy high five (meaning they missed.) They get the FF and the clue to head to the Pit Stop - Piazza Castello.
-Kerri & Stacy finally arrive at the Lingotto building.
-Mark & Bopper are still looking for the Lingotto Building.
-Guidos are still looking for the Tin Lizzy in the Museum, Rachel & Brendon are still just fighting.
-Army Dave & Rachel, Vanessa & Ralph and the Faux Teacher/agents see a huge group of Santa Claus' (ah, must have been taping in December) and they all get the car to park itself - Go Ford!
-Oh look - Stacey, the girl that is terrified of heights, is doing the rappelling for them - I'm starting to suspect that these two are not very good at this. Stacy comes down swinging and she gets the clue first shot - she was determined to redeem herself and not cry this time. She did great, and they head to the museum.
-Bopper gets out of the car and asks someone where the Lingui-toe building is - the guy tells them the Lingotto building is... blah blah - yeah, they have no idea what he said. "They don't speak no English over here."
-Rachel & Brendon are the first team to find the Tin Lizzy and they get the next clue - it looks like a penny in the box - it's a 2 euro coin imprinted with, what they need to figure out is, their next destination - the Mole Antoneliano (cool old building with a tall spire.) Once there they must ride the elevator all the way to the top and search for their next clue.
-Brendon & Rachel think they have to use the coin in a slot or machine, possibly to car, to release their next clue... uh huh. Apparently Brendon is really well educated... but not necessarily really smart.
-The rest of the teams are starting to find the coins and figure out they need to go to the place on the coin - Army Dave & Rachel ask one of the Santas on the street and they head out. The Jersey Shore, the Agents, Vanessa & Ralph all head out.
-Brendon & Rachel are still in the museum trying to figure out where to put the coin - and they realize everyone else is leaving - oh, let's go see if the cars are gone - and they are - these two are stymied now, what do we do? He again mentions quitting and she lashes out at him and calls their marriage into question - (Wow, over-react much? How can he stand that?)
-Army Dave and Rachel start fighting again in the car - he's not following the directions they got from the Santa and she's telling him he has to stop thinking he knows better and follow the directions - bicker, bicker, fight! (It's a very dramatic episode so far.)
-Brendon finally thinks, hey, maybe they went to the building on the coin - she pouty-whines they should just go there and stop embarrassing themselves - He just needs to actually do the thinking and stop looking for her approval on everything - Gosh!
-Kerri & Stacy get to the museum - Ford commercial - Got to get me a Ford Focus. They head in to look for the Tin Lizzy.
-Mark & Bopper get to the Lingatto building finally and Bopper is boppin' down the rope - it's not pretty but he gets it done and they're heading to the museum.
-The Guidos are the first team to find the Mole-whatever building - they get in the glass elevator and marvel at the beautiful building and flirt with the female elevator operator - she's not impressed (hah!)
-Army Dave & Rachel arrive and he says they have to remedy this (meaning her attitude) she says, "Fine, shut up then."
-Guidos get the clue to the Detour - Clean that Statue or Name that Salami.
-In Clean that Statue - using the tools provided - brushes and power washer - they must clean a statue - once it's pristine, they'll get their next clue.
-In Name that Salami - they must find the designated salami store, sample 14 distinct salamis then travel 1/2 mile by foot to the market and correctly identify the salamis for sale by their correct names - once they get them all right, they'll get their next clue.
(I would be cleaning the statue - absolutely.) The Guidos agree.
-Dave & Rachel marvel at the sight going up the elevator but once they have the clue he's impatient with her opening the clue and it starts again, Really? (He's kinda a jerk.) They defer the salami, Dave, "That's just too much meat for us to handle." (That's what she said.)
-Ralph gets extra sponsor points for using the park assist again at the tower - Jamie & Nary are going to clean the statues. Vanessa says she hasn't had that much salami since high school (gross) - they decide to clean the statues.
-Brendon says this experience is not worth a million dollars if she doesn't want to be with him because of it... whatever - these two make me sick. She's whiny/crying and they pass their nemesis team (Vanessa & Ralph) who are ecstatic to be ahead of them now. Vanessa, "I bet they eat the salami) and she's right, Big Brother is going for the salami (could be they just want to avoid "the Ogre and the Triflin' Ho.')
-Everyone is trying to find the statue cleaning task and no one can find it - they're debating changing.
-Brendon & Rachel are sampling them some salami- Rachel, "I know it's on pizza and I like pizza." (oh, just stop talking.)
-As Kerri & Stacy are leaving the museum with their coin they see and are seen by Mark & Bopper - gives the Kentucky boys hope that they've caught up to another team.
-The teams start arriving at the statue place and Blond Rachel nearly knocks their statue's head off with the power washer - yeah, he takes that away from her.
-Ralph actually does shoot the head off their statue (they've set them up for that) so they have to fix it as well as clean it.
-The Jersey Shore are cracking wise about feeling like they should have taken her out for dinner before scrubbing her like they are...(they are so slimy.)
-Army Dave & Rachel - bicker, bicker, bicker.
-Nary & Jamie - shoot the head off their statue. Vanessa, "Yeah, that happens."
-Brendon & Rachel are naming salamis - they get about 4 or 5 right but then it all breaks down and they have to head back to the shop to taste & get the names down again.
-Kerri & Stacy have gotten the Detour clue and they are going to Name that Salami.
-Mark & Bopper get the coin from the car at the museum - We done good.
-Army Dave & Rachel are the first team to finish cleaning the statue and they get the clue to the Pit Stop. Jersey Shore bonds with the statue guy over checking out the statues butt, Vanessa & Ralph finish polishing the head... the sexual innuendo abounds in Italy it seems.
-Brendon & Rachel say all the salami is starting to look and taste alike, they don't even know which one's they had right the first time... (Uh oh.) Kerri & Stacy show up at the salami store and Rachel starts to meltdown "I can't do this anymore." Blubber, whine, cry... and he again announces they are done, "we're out of the amazing race." (Yeah, yeah, promises, promises.)
-Mark & Bopper get the clue to the Detour - and they are cleaning a statue. They enjoyed it, but it sucks coming in last.
Here's How They Finished:
1) Art & JJ - Phil tells them they've won $5000 each! JJ acknowledges the race is gnarly, takes you to the highs and lows very rapidly - but they still want to keep their string of first place finishes going. (They finished half way through the episode.)
2) Rachel & Dave - complete and utter failure from his vantage point (seriously dude? You came in second! Oh, I think he means their communication - okay, got to give him that.) Rachel & I can only improve from this point.
3) Joey Fitness & Danny - Alright.
4) Vanessa & Ralph - Yeah
5) Nary & Jamie - who? Oh yeah, the agents are very under the radar so far.
6) Brendon & Rachel - they rebounded of course, best friends make up (gag me.)
7) Kerri & Stacy - better hold on tight, you are still in the race.
8) Mark & Bopper - they are the last team to arrive... Phil gets Bopper crying, talking about his daughter and he brings Art & JJ out, they have decided to split their $10,000 with them for his daughter - awwww... and Phil's not done - for the first time ever, I'm so glad to hear this was a NON-ELIMINATION round - I think the show would be so much less fun without the Kentucky boys!
Next week - the weather outside is frightful as they head to Bavaria - they have to style a champion beard (awesome) and Bopper & Mark yodel with an Oompah band.
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen

Phil gets Bopper crying, talking about his daughter and he brings Art & JJ out, they have decided to split their $10,000 with them for his daughter - awwww... and Phil's not done - for the first time ever, I'm so glad to hear this was a NON-ELIMINATION round - I think the show would be so much less fun without the Kentucky boys!
Next week - the weather outside is frightful as they head to Bavaria - they have to style a champion beard (awesome) and Bopper & Mark yodel with an Oompah band.
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
