Accidental Alliance
Last week, Brendan & Rachel U-Turned Dave & Connor and Dad was a total baby about it. The Globetrotters were bringing up the rear the whole day and were eliminated.
9th leg: Brendan & Rachel are the first team to depart at 6:13am - they read the clue that tells them to make their way to Switzerland! They will catch a train in Rome and go 400mi over the Alps to Chiasso, Switzerland. Once there they will make their way to another town and find the statue of Wilhelm Tell to get their next clue.
-They say they U-Turned Dave & Connor to make sure they came in first place - hopefully they don't take it personally but if they do, oh well, we did what we had to do to win. (Exactly, Dave has to suck it up, that's the game.)
The Cowboys are the next team out at 7:23am - they were lucky to fly under the radar through the whole double U-Turn debacle - they are just as happy to avoid all that drama. (Good strategy, just stay out of it.)
Afghanimals - 7:34am - They got U-Turned for a third time and have no ill-will towards Dave & Connor, since they felt bad about it. Leo & Jamal want to go to the final with the Country Singers and Dave & Connor. They think their odds of winning are much greater against those teams (ahh, so it's not just cause you like them, you think you can beat them... okay, I get it now.)
Dave & Connor, 7:44am - Caroline & Jen, 7:45am - These four head out together - the girls love Dave & Connor they can't believe anyone would U-Turn them. Dave is still on the warpath - Brenchel made a mistake U-Turning them instead of the Cowboys and now he's coming for them (Really dude, keep your eye on the prize, don't let a petty vendetta mess with your head - Mama wants to win the pool for once!)
-Brendan & Rachel are the first team to the train station and they get tickets for a train leaving in 15 minutes.
-The Cowboys have stopped for directions... uh oh.
-Leo & Jamal, Dave & Connor and the Country Singers all get to the train station and run for the ticket counter... and they just make the train. When they walk into the car and see Brendan & Rachel they ice them out and go sit in a group, then act like the mean kids in high school, bad mouthing Brendan & Rachel (I wonder if the whole ride was like that... puts a bad taste in my mouth honestly.)
-Meanwhile the Cowboys have finally arrived at the train station and they get tickets on an 11:20 train, they haven't seen any other teams so they must realize they are now behind everyone. They're used to being the lone rangers anyway and I'm sure they're just as happy to avoid the drama as well. (I just hope they can catch up!)
-On the train, after making fun of Rachel, the other three teams put hands in to solidify their final three alliance. (Yes, I rolled my eyes - I'm now rooting against them all.)
Chiasso - the train arrives and they run for their marked Ford Focus' - when they get to the town there are tons of people in the street (some kind of festival?) They find the statue of Wilhelm Tell and there is a plaque on it telling them, "At sunrise, wait for Wilhelm Tell." (Oh good, the Cowboys can catch up.)
-Caroline tells the guys that she's dubbed them the "Accidental Alliance" because Brenchel created it by accident when they U-Turned their Race-Dad.
-Brendan & Rachel, "Who needs friends? We're here to win a million dollars."
-In the middle of the night the Cowboys show up and they are all there at sunrise to meet Wilhelm Tell, who has a crossbow and his young son with him. He hands them clues telling them to drive themselves to Luzern and search for their next clue on the oldest wooden bridge in Europe (the Chapel Bridge).
-They all take off caravan style and Brendan & Rachel discuss pulling off so the others think they don't know where they're going... so they do, and they end up at the wrong bridge (oops).
-The rest of the teams find the correct bridge and get the clue to go to a certain hotel and search for a room that's been trashed by a hard partying rock band.
-Afghanimals, Dave & Connor, Cowboys and Country Singers all the get the clue and take off running, wanting to be gone before 'the Brenchels' gets there (it's just Brenchel, sheesh.)
-Brendan & Rachel ask a local who tells them the correct bridge and they see they are last when the get to the clue box. She starts saying, "If we are out because we U-Turned...." and Brendan tells her not to even say it - but he's mad they are now at the back of the pack... and he's whining, "Man, how far ahead are they now?"
-The other four teams get to the hotel and choose their rooms... to clean. They have to put on the housekeeping uniforms (how cute) and clean a trashed room to the Swiss exacting standards in order to get their next clue.
-Even when they go and pick up their cleaning supply of baskets, the room inspector is straightening their uniforms and lamenting that they don't have black shoes... (Uh oh.) Connor says, "the Brenchels aren't here yet so lets just knock this one out." (It's singular, like Benifer. Why does that bug me so much?)
-And we see the rooms - they are a mess! Caroline & Jennifer are just getting to it, cleaning up. Dave & Connor start by going up and looking at the reference room. Jet hopes his wife doesn't see him vacuuming, then she'll realize he knows how (HA! One more chore on the honey-do list from now on.)
-Brendan & Rachel get to the hotel and the rest of the teams are almost finished. Cowboys are the first to get drill sergeant Helga to check their room and they do not pass - the toilet paper didn't have a point and they forgot the tray of fruit.
-Leo & Jamal are the next checked, a lamp was positioned wrong and they didn't have the vase of flowers (yeah, there were lots of accessories... looks like a nice hotel actually. Mental note, if ever in Switzerland... :)
-Helga checks out Caroline & Jen's room and they are missing the flowers, the fruit, the toilet paper's wrong and they have a towel over the tub... (4 things ladies, get it together.)
-We find out that Rachel was a maid for four years so she should know the quality standards required for a hotel... now do they have an eye for detail though?
-Dave & Connor get their room checked and they are very close... the only thing wrong is the tissue (Oh man!) Helga won't tell them either, they've got to try and figure it out - so back upstairs to the example suite (wow, they are getting their exercise on the stairs this time.)
-The Cowboys get the fruit and get the room checked again - but the toilet paper is still wrong.
-Afghanimals got the flowers but the lamp is still wrong.
-Country Singers got the fruit but still flowers, towel and toilet paper are issues.
-Everyone is lamenting how tough Helga would be to work for - the stress of that work environment must be hell.
-Brendan & Rachel get their first check and it's only the lamp that's wrong for them.
-Cowboys finally figure out the toilet paper... and they are the first team to get the clue to make their way to the Museum of Transportation and look for the marked artifact outside - answer the question to get the next clue. Helga got some hugs... she didn't look comfortable with it.
-Afghanimals are the next team to pass and Helga gets more hugs - she's more into it with them (hmm, maybe she's loosening up?).
-Dave & Connor get a pass - no hugs. Once in the car they say anyone can win except Brendan & Rachel. (Get over it all ready.)
-Caroline & Jen get a pass... no hugs.
-Brendan & Rachel are the last team and whining about it - Brendan is trying to be positive by cutting the other teams down - the girls will struggle in the next challenge and Dave is old and slow... they still have a chance.
-Jet & Cord are the first team to the museum and they have to figure out the artifact they are looking for is the huge drill bit out front, used to dig the world's longest tunnel (Chunnel!?) The question was, "What was this piece of equipment used for?" and Jet knew, he's seen it on TV before (must watch the Discovery channel.) They get the clue to search the museum for the Ford Mustang exhibit.
-They are out in a courtyard - the Cowboys choose a car and read the clue under the windshield wiper - it tells them to use the street signs on the wall behind the cars and calculate the model year of the Ford Mustang they chose. (Oh no, there's math.) So they have an equation in their clue, they have to find the signs with the places on them and put the numbers into the equation... actually, shouldn't be too tough. Once they have the correct year, they'll get their next clue.
-Afghanimals are the next team to the drill bit and they have no idea what it was used for. Measuring? Calculator? ... they go to ask someone.
-Dave & Connor walk up and Dave used to be a mining engineer so he might have even designed the thing - he knew right away it was a tunnel drill and they tell Leo & Jamal. (Of course.)
-Caroline & Jen get their and Dave tells them what it is as well.
-They are now all outside trying to find their equation numbers on the street signs. Caroline & Jen just seem confused - they don't understand what they need to do (really?)
-Brendan & Rachel finally figure out the lamp was askew and they get a pass on the room... no hug for Helga, I swear she was hanging around for one by this point.(Ha).
-Brenchel gets to the museum but they don't know what the artifact is...
-The Cowboys are the first team to get the answer, they had a 67 Mustang and they got the clue in the car (Oh, do they get to drive it? Nope.) They do have to drive to another town and look for their next clue.
-Dave & Connor had a '69 - they are right on the Cowboys heels.
-Brendan & Rachel ask some passersby what the drill bit is and they finally get the clue to head in to the Ford Mustangs.
-Leo & Jamal had a '65 Mustang - they get the clue as Brendan & Rachel show up and Caroline & Jen still don't get it. (Looks like Brendan had them pegged correctly.)
-I noticed Leo & Jamal were leaving and thought the girls were toast, but Leo stopped to help them - explaining what they had to do... (come on girls, don't perpetuate the stereotype!) The girls had a '71 Mustang and Leo & Jamal take off when they see the girls got it.
-Brendan & Rachel get theirs right behind them - '66 - and it's now a race to Oberrikkenbach (Or something like that.)
-Cowboys and Dave & Connor get to the town and read the clue to the ROADBLOCK - Don't cry over spilled milk. They have to make a mild delivery, Swiss style. They will have to choose a Burmese mountain dog and cart, then transport two empty milk containers to one of two dairy farms that can only be accessed by gondola - once at the farm they will exchange the empty containers for
full ones and then bring the milk back to the truck to get their next clue. (Oh thank goodness, I thought they might have to milk cows and fill the containers themselves. I think the dogs will be difficult enough.)
-Connor and Cord are going to be doing this one. Connor picks Kira and they're out. Cord picks a big boy named Ulix... he just calls him Max.
-The rest of the teams get there and it's Leo, Brendan and Caroline delivering milk.
-Connor and Cord have run their dogs to the gondolas and then they take the containers on by hand - once up the mountain they have to run up a hill, through the snow to the farmer... this is actually quite a physical challenge. Connor is very glad he did this one instead of his Dad.
-Speaking of physical - Caroline is running to the gondola and hits a patch of ice and boom! She goes down - Hard! (OUCH!)
-Connor gets his full milk containers and they are heavy - he's trying to carry them both at once but has to take a little breather.
-Cord gets his too and it was much easier carrying the empty ones. But, in true Cowboy fashion, he's just gonna grit it out.
-Connor gets back to the gondola and passes Brendan as he gets out - they are pleasant enough to each other but then Brendan had written Brenchel winners of the 24th Amazing Race in the condensation on the windows and Connor wipes it out, "The nerve of him writing that." (He's just trying to get your goat. And it worked.)
-Cord passes Leo at the gondola as he gets out to switch the milk.
-Brendan is getting his milk and he'll pass Caroline as she gets out of the gondola - she says her back does really hurt, she's not gonna lie... we'll see if she can manage the heavy milk containers on the way down.
-Connor gets his milk in the cart and heads out with Kira pulling his cart. Cord also gets his milk loaded and thanks his stars he picked a good stout dog - he was able to overtake Connor, "That Max, he was a mushy sucker." (Haha - I love the Cowboys.) They are the first team to get the next clue to drive themselves to Engelberg- once there they will take the gondola to the top of Mount Titlis - the PIT STOP for this leg of the race.
-Getting out on the road though, Dave & Connor were able to get in front of the Cowboys - Jet's not too worried, they can beat them in a foot race.
-Leo & Jamal head out, and in the car Leo says that was really hard, he's not sure if Caroline's gonna get it.
-Brendan finishes as well and they head out 4th.
-Caroline is slowly dragging her full milk containers through the snow at the top of the mountain still.
Mount Titlis - Dave & Connor are the first team there and Dave tries to jump the bars to get to the gondola and wipes out (serves you right, you're a 60yr old man for goodness sakes.) Off they go up the gondola and they see the Cowboys pulling into the parking lot.
-In the gondola Dave & Connor know they have to find Phil fast because they won't beat the Cowboys in a foot race. The Cowboys are right behind them in a gondola.
-Leo & Jamal are also in the gondola now - they hope they can be a factor in the foot race too.
-When the gondola lets Dave & Connor out, they scramble around a bit then realize they aren't at the top yet, they have to get into another, bigger gondola and who will be with them... Cowboys AND Afghanimals (woohoo - the Race is ON!)
-Once they reach the summit - they all start running through a hallway and Dave & Connor decide they're not going to follow - if they're going to be third anyway they'll go the other way and take the elevator...
-Meanwhile - Caroline is still struggling to get her full milk containers to the gondola... poor thing, she's the smallest one there and she broke herself on the ice...
-Jennifer says she is so proud of Caroline, they couldn't have done any better.
Here's How They Finished:
1) Dave & Connor - they won brand new 2015 Mustangs. (I guess the elevator was the way to go.)
2) Jet & Cord - and just behind them...
3) Leo & Jamal - Phil asks Dave & Connor about the division in the group with Brendan & Rachel - Connor says, "They are not our favourite people but to each their own."
4) Brendan & Rachel - they say they can win the race with no friends. "If they are gunning for us," Brendan says, "Karma tells me, it's gonna come back to haunt them."
5) Caroline & Jennifer - Phil was sorry to tell them they were the last team to arrive... but he hopes they want to keep racing because this is another NON-ELIMINATION leg! (What?! Wow, if they were last every leg would they all be non-elimination I wonder?)
Caroline says this was way too lucky, it must be meant to be that they win the Amazing Race.
So, we are all still in it for another week anyway.
Next episode: They will be bullfighting as the bulls inside blow up balls (that looks awesome) they will have to shave a balloon and the Afghanimals get to turn the tables at another double U-Turn.
Looks like it's gonna be a gooder!
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
