Uglier Than a Mud Rail Fence (Bavaria, Germany)
Last leg ended in Turin, Italy, with Mark & Bopper being spared by a non-elimination leg.
Art & JJ were the first teams out this leg at 8:57am. They get the clue to take the train into Erhwald, Austria and from there they will drive themselves over the border into Bavaria, Germany where they must go to a certain restaurant and find the Travelosity Roaming Gnome, which will have their next clue on the bottom.
-Art & JJ have dominated two legs in a row and they attribute it to their relationship, they are friends and two dudes who work together, that's totally different than a husband and wife (that's for sure.) "Art's an idiot most of the time and I'm going to let him know." Their goal is to win the leg again - they have such a huge lead (ah, yes, but we know how the Race tends to get everyone in a pack...)
-Second team doesn't head out until 11:33am - that is Major Dave & Blond Rachel. Followed by the Jersey Shore at 12:11pm - these two teams get on the same train - Major Dave isn't happy to have another team there.
-Vanessa & Ralph head out at 12:27pm and we learn that Ralph is not just a divorcee, he's actually been married & divorced THREE times... (whoa, dude.) Vanessa says with both of their experiences in the past it's helped them be vocal about what they want... but that also hinders them.... and he snaps at her (oh, is it their turn to bicker this leg?)
-12:56pm - the Special Agents are happy to be heading to Bavaria.
- 1:18pm - Big Brother - Brendon reads the clue to find the Roaming Gnome and Rachel says, "Where's the Rome?... Oh, he's in Germany." These two are all smiles and determined to have a better leg, no more fighting (but I am not holding my breath on that one.)
-These three teams are on the same train.
-3:58pm - The Mississippi girls head out, they are re-energized and ready to start jacking up some other teams.
-5:54pm - Mark & Bopper are the last team to head out - They know they have a lot of time to make up and they will face a Speed Bump this leg but they need the money more than anyone and are just going to get 'er done.
-So now I got a little confused - it's a 10 hour train trip to Erhwald, Austria via Innsbruck. At 4:30am they show Kerri & Stacy and Mark & Bopper get off the train in Innsbruck and find other teams still waiting there - much to Mark & Bopper's delight - that caught them up right there.
-Art & JJ spent the night in the train station in Erhwald so they must have held them up there - at 6:30am they are heading out in the car, the room doesn't open until 8:30am... I'm thinking that's the restaurant where they Gnomes are.
-The 2nd train arrives in Erhwald and Blond Rachel reads the place doesn't open until 8:30am - "It'll be nice to see Art & JJ again." (Maybe for you, but I don't think they'll be too happy.) These three teams meet up outside the restaurant. So, the rest of the teams must all be on another train.
-At 8:30am the doors open to let Art &JJ, the Guidos and Dave &Rachel in - to the yodelling tones of the Oompah band... they head straight to the Gnomes and on the bottom is the DETOUR - Fairy Tale or Champion Male.
-In Fairy Tale: They must follow a trail of gingerbread through the snowy woods to the fairy tale inspired village and find the witch's cottage of Hansel & Gretel fame. Once there, they must use the gingerbread pieces they've collected to complete the roof on a gingerbread house - and decorate the house properly - when they do, a witch will hand them their next clue.
-In Champion Male: they must choose one of the champion beard enthusiasts then style his beard to match a picture of a champion look (that is AWESOME! Ha ha, I love those guys - but I wouldn't want to be married to one of them, could you imagine? Drew, do not get any ideas.) When the beard inspector feels they have a perfect match, they'll get their next clue. (This would be hard unless you had some hairdressing skill, I'm thinking - but I can't wait for someone to try it.)
-And I don't have to wait long because these first 3 teams all want to style some beards.
-The rest of the teams arrive at the Erhwald train station and hop in the cars to head to the restaurant - Kerri & Stacy plan to just stay with the pack today, they know they can compete if they are all together - Kerri says she can pretty much navigate herself to the mall and that's it (oh, that's great on a Race around the world.)
-Ralph marvels at how beautiful the mountains are and Vanessa again gives us a glimpse into her shallow soul, "I'm cold."
-Major Dave & Blond Rachel are the first team to the beard styling place. They choose their Santa Claus wanna be... and she gets working on his beard. She has the experience with hair styling and products so they're hoping to have an advantage. Dave just gives the poor old guy a Mohawk (ha ha, I love Mohawk Santa.)
-"Ehhh," the Guidos arrive and Danny chooses the guy with the longest beard... which proves not smart because he had a pretty elaborate design to replicate. Fitness says they use gel in their hair, no one else does, they should have this.
-Art & JJ arrive and they pick the guy with the already nicest groomed beard, not as long as the others - "That's weird man, grooming another man's beard." They look to be the most awkward with this one.
-Kerri & Stacy are lost - so much with staying with the pack... way to go ladies.
-Back at the Beard-a-torium - there is lots of product slopping, hair twisting and blow drying going on ... oh, and the lucky, unchosen bearded men are all getting beer to drink... nice.
-Mark & Bopper are the first team from the pack to make it to the restaurant and they hit their Speed Bump: Yodel! They must learn to yodel a specific tune from a master yodeller - when he's satisfied they've gotten it right, they'll get their next clue. But first, they have to get into some red gingham shirts and lederhosen... (I love this show, they never pass up a chance to make the racers dress funny.)
-Vanessa & Ralph arrive and get their gnome - and choose beard style... is everyone going to do this?
-Mark & Bopper are suited up and raring to get to yodelling - they are game but not so skilled. (Don't they yodel in country music? Maybe not in Kentucky, I guess it's more Appalachian...) The yodeller looks like he's having fun but I'm not sure if their "American Style" yodelling passed...
-JJ proves his suitcase full of styling products was not for nothing - they are the first team to successfully style their guy's beard - they get the next clue to find the castle that inspired Sleeping Beauty (Neushwenstein Castle - I think that's how you spell it :) They will find their next clue in King Ludwig II's bedroom. They get directions from a local and take off for the next village.
-Mark & Bopper successfully finish the Speed Bump and they had so much fun. While they are changing their clothes (couldn't they keep the costumes? Aww.) The rest of the teams finally arrive - Big Brother, the Special Agents and Kerri & Stacey - all grab a gnome and Jamie & Nary are styling a beard - BB Rachel says she doesn't even know what a beard is...(gah!) they are going to do the gingerbread - and Kerri & Stacy also decide to do the gingerbread.
-Mark & Bopper - are going to gather some gingerbread and they are going to be yodelling for the rest of the day.
-Major Dave & Blond Rachel successfully finish the beard and head out for the castle (Have fun storming the castle... I couldn't resist - Princess Bride, see it.) The Guidos get their beard judged and get a "no, no, NO."(I think that was Bavarian for "Oh hell no.") It is a little sloppy.
-Vanessa & Ralph show up and she starts giving him orders like she knows what she's doing... we shall see.
- Big Brother and the Mississippi girls are driving through the snow looking for the start of the trail to the witch's house. They totally miss the marked trunk now covered in snow but still with the red & gold swag and they are wandering off in the wrong direction.
- Mark & Bopper get their, go straight to the trunk and get their basket and head on down the trail... hmm. Hint to Kerri & Stacy, never follow Big Brother. Bopper picks up all the gingerbread (I hope they restock the trail.)
-Back at the beard task - the Guidos are kicking themselves about choosing the longest beard, they can't get it to stay up like the picture and they are falling behind Vanessa &Ralph who chose a manageable beard.
-Kerri &Stacy and Big Brother have finally found the trunk and the trail and are gathering gingerbread - seem to be working together... for now.
-The Jersey Shore finally gets their beard approved, grudgingly as the special agents arrive.
-Vanessa is being a perfectionist on their beard - Ralph tells her to leave it so they guy can judge it...and they pass, get the next clue and head out. Vanessa, "Finally, taking forever on my hair paid off."
-Mark & Bopper arrive at the witch's cottage and get started on their gingerbread house - this one would be cold, they are outside having to do this... but they have a great attitude, just get it done.
-Big brother arrive and Rachel is whining instantly, "Why do we always choose the hardest one?"(Because you're stupid... what? It's true.) She's finding it hard to piece her oddly shaped gingerbread together to complete the roof... sigh.
-Kerri & Stacy are using a fork as a tool to shape their pieces and make them fit together. (Hey, look, a tool, who would have thought of that?)
-Art & JJ arrive at the castle parking area and take a horse drawn carriage up to the castle.
-Dave & Blond Rachel are lost, he didn't pay attention to the directions and it's now her fault - bicker, bicker.
-Jersey Shore and Ralph & Vanessa arrive at the parking area for the castle (is that even the right castle?) and she doesn't want to walk up - the Guidos take that opportunity to get ahead of them by taking off - Vanessa wants to take the horse & carriage but Ralph is focused on the guys getting ahead of them and wants to hoof it - she doesn't have a choice but to follow, but don't think he won... Bicker, bicker bicker.
-Jamie & Nary complete their beard and they get the clue to the castle.
-They are all still working on the gingerbread houses - Mark was complimenting the witch, "I told her she was pretty even though she was uglier than a mud rail fence." (whatever that is, must be pretty ugly, cause that witch was really ugly.) BB Rachel - bad attitude. Kerri & Stacy say their hands are frozen but they want to be the first out of there.
-Art & JJ get to the castle and head up to the king's bedroom - they get the clue drive themselves to an ice hockey and curling rink to get their next clue.
-Kerri & Stacy are the first team finished the gingerbread house and as they were jumping up and down and go to hug - Kerri head butted Stacy in the face - OUCH! (Ha ha ha!)
-On the way down from the castle, Art & JJ pass the Jersey Shore and the now more than bickering, I'd say full on fighting, Vanessa & Ralph - she's having a temper tantrum, they throw her jacket at each other and she calls him a hot head with no class - "Congratulations, you just made YouTube." (I can't help but think she'd love that.) Ralph said inside he was enjoying pissing her off... I'm starting to understand why he's been divorced 3 times.
-Jersey Shore gets the clue from the bedroom - Ralph & Vanessa also get the clue, but they are now not talking.
-Mark & Bopper complete their gingerbread house - and BB Rachel is crying because they are now last ... but they finish it as well and head off for the castle.
-Major Dave & Blond Rachel (oh yeah, I forgot about these two) finally get to the parking area of the castle and Dave decides it must be - the wrong castle - (really? This guy is the worst.)
-Jamie & Nary get there too and also head to the wrong castle - happy to have caught up with Rachel &Dave (oh boy.) They have to buy tickets for a tour and can't just head straight to the bedroom... (isn't any of that smelling fishy to them?)
-Art & JJ get to the ice rink and get the clue for the Roadblock - Who's ready to put it on ice - JJ is.
-They have to slide the gnome along the ice like a curling stone and get it right on the button - the inner white circle of the rings on the ice. This could take a while.
-Meanwhile, Dave & Rachel and Nary & Jamie are finally realizing they are not in the right castle - they make track right quick.
-Stacy & Kerri head up to the wrong castle as well but ask someone before going inside and find out it's the other castle.
-Mark & Bopper choose the wrong castle too - but someone directs them over to the other one.
-Shockingly, Big Brother heads up to the right castle.
-JJ proves a good curler and they get the clue for the Pit Stop - a big, old, working farm.
-Jersey Shore are curling - Danny never thought they'd be curling gnomes today. He hits the middle and they get the clue to the it Stop.
- Everyone else is hoofing it up the hill to the Sleeping Beauty castle. Dave & Rachel and Jamie & Nary get the clue and head out.
-Brendon & Rachel get the clue from the bedroom too.
- Vanessa & Ralph get to the ice rink as the Guidos are leaving and Ralph is going to do the task - she tries to make up and he grudgingly kisses her... she says, "It's like shuffle board, with gnomes."
She doesn't clear his shots and he hits one already there but they are both partially in the middle and that's good enough to get the clue.
-The walk up that hill has Kerri & Stacy fighting as well, we can jog this... You can. Shut up. Bicker bicker.
-Bopper thought he was going to have a heart attack when he got up to the castle - Mark was telling him to stop trying to be a super hero and take his time - they get the clue and head out.
-At the rink, Nary is curling for the Agents. Brendon is curling for Big Brother and Blond Rachel is curling for Major Dave.
-Blond Rachel proves to be pretty good and they are the first to get the clue. Dave, "It's like a bar game, you'd have to be good at it."(Wow, this guy is the king of backhanded compliments.)
-Brendon also hits the sweet spot and they head out - putting the pressure on Nary to find the target.
-Kerri & Stacy arrive and Kerri starts curling some gnomes. Mark & Bopper are there too and Mark has to do it, Bopper was too wiped from the castle climb. Good thing though, Mark proves a good shot - they finish leaving the ladies very frustrated and still trying to hit the target.
-Kerri is the next one to get it touching the middle and they encourage Nary to hang in there - she's shot over 180 times... finally, one just barely hits the edge of the middle white and they guy gives them the nod... and the clue.
-Kerri & Stacy prove their navigating skills have not improved...
Here's How They Finished:
*Oh man, they have to run through the cow shed - to the mat, that must be... fragrant.
1) Art & JJ - They won a trip to Thailand. Phil jokingly asks them to withdraw from the race to give the other teams a chance. If he gives them a cheque for a million dollars, they will.
2) Joey "Fitness" & Danny - #2 will have to do.
3) Vanessa & Ralph - we got into a little bit of a spat... she says they're good at letting things go, but if it happens again, she's just going to kill him. (Yeah, that's not letting it go.)
4) Dave & Rachel - Way to go baby.
5) Brendon & Rachel - he slips at the mat and lands flat on his back - Rachel, "Holy manure!"
6) Mark & Bopper - came back from a speed bump and last place... Woo!
7) Nary & Jamie - YAY!
8) Kerri &Stacy - **ELIMINATED** Stacy hopes she's made her kids proud. Who knew two girls from wherever would make it this far... we're still awesome. What's not awesome is that Lee G, Krista H, Sunnie C, Fred/Gary M and Pat T are out of the pool.
Next week: In Azerbaijan, they will go through fire, water and a day at the spa (looks like removing mud baths from people.) Where is Azerbaijan?
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
Last leg ended in Turin, Italy, with Mark & Bopper being spared by a non-elimination leg.
Art & JJ were the first teams out this leg at 8:57am.
