Thinly Sliced Anchovies
Last week we lost the Firefighters when Scott badly twisted his ankle, and made the mistake of asking for directions at a bar instead of the museum.
This episode the teams woke up in tents... yes, they made them camp out on the Shetland Islands after the last leg, some teams embraced it - and some teams, not so much... anyway, McFakerson Dentists are the first team to head out at 10:36am, a little over an hour ahead of the next team. They read the clue to head to Copenhagen, Denmark. First they must take a 13 hour ferry ride to Aberdeen, Scotland then fly from there - once in Denmark they'll find their next clue on the marked Ford Seemus?... Oh, C-Max Energi, I think... got to get the product placement right :)
-When Jim & Misti get to the ferry terminal they find out the ferry doesn't leave until 5:30pm - which means everyone will be on the ferry but they ask about a travel agency to book their flight to Denmark... and the Shetland Islands doesn't have a travel agency - so they head to the library to do their own research of flights.
-The Dentists book themselves tickets that will get them into Copenhagen at 1600 (4pm). Jim is confident no one will get a better flight than that.
-Next teams, Soul surfers and Survivors, when finding out there is no travel agent, decide they will have to go to a travel agency in Aberdeen when the ferry gets in. Everyone else arrives and the ferry leaves.
-We find out from the Wrestlers that the travel agency doesn't open until 9am and the ferry docks at 7am - so their plan is to head to the airport and get tickets there, hoping everyone else heads to the travel agency.
-Aberdeen, Scotland - the Cyclists are the first off the ferry and they head to the airport, along with the Tim & Te Jay and the Wrestlers. The Cyclists get a flight that gets them into Copenhagen at 2pm (oh the Dentists are going to be mad!)
-Whitney & Keith, Shelley & Nici, Scientists and Surfers are waiting outside the travel agency.
-At the airport, Tim & Te Jay get a flight getting in at 5:15pm and the Wrestlers get in at 5:10pm ... (and I gotta ask, how many flights do they have going to Denmark today?) Tim is not happy the Cyclists got such an early flight.
-At the Travel Agency, Shelley & Nici get 5:20pm flight and the rest of the travel agency teams get a flight arriving at 5:10pm. (So, crazy they are on so many different flights.)
-And then Tim & Te Jay's flight was delayed 20 mins and Shelley & Nici's flight was delayed about an hour (huh, all the flight attendants had bad flight luck, go figure.)
Copenhagen - Cyclists Kym & Alli are the first team to arrive - Phil tells us they must drive their Ford C-Max Hybrid from Copenhagen to Malmo, Sweden - if they successfully drive the car efficiently, using less than 1/10th of a gallon of gas, they will get their next clue. If not, they will have to correctly answer a geography question to get the next clue.
-As Cyclists, they try to be environmentally friendly so they are stoked for this task - and they complete it successfully. The next clue is for the DETOUR: Parking Space or Wedding Cake.
Parking Space - they have to repurpose a parking space as a Parklet setting, so they choose either a garden theme or a living room theme and have to recreate the set up in the picture they are given EXACTLY in less than 30 minutes. If they don't get it exact and the time runs out - they will have to break it down and start again in an adjacent parking spot.
Wedding Cake - teams have to complete a traditional Danish wedding cake (which is a tall cone shaped tower of round hard donut-ish cakes... it doesn't look too appetizing by my standards) then they have to transport it by a crazy bicycle that has a flat deck area in front - one person will hold the cake on the flat deck and the other will pedal behind on the bike part... (that looks hard) - once they deliver the cake in one piece to the restaurant, the maitre'd will sign the receipt and they have to go back to the bakery to get their next clue.
The Cyclists feel like they have to do the bicycle challenge and choose Wedding Cake.... but first they have to drive back to Copenhagen.
Meanwhile, the Dentists have now landed and are trying to efficiently drive their way to Sweden.
-The Cyclists get to the bakery and take a gander at the bikes - those are crazy looking - luckily they have good balance. First they have to finish the cake though, which is like Jenga with sweets.
-The Dentists get to Sweden and Jim wasn't able to relax and drive efficiently enough (no surprise there) so they run to the square and read that they have to name the capitals of the Scandinavian countries... they have to find a local to help them.
-Next flight arrives with the Surfers, Scientists, Wrestlers, and Survivors - they're going to have trouble being efficient because they're going to want to race each other... Keith is being slow and steady guy.
-Tim & Te Jay land and are super excited to be driving to Sweden.
-Misti & Jim have found a local to help them name the capitals and upon reading the Detour clue have chosen Parking Space (which I found odd because he was Mr. Doing the physical challenges...)
-Back at the bakery - the Cyclists prove resourceful by grabbing one of the icing piping bags as they leave with the cake... for repairs.
They head out to the bike and run across the street to ask for directions to the restaurant - then Kym is going to drive the bike because she's had a little exposure to cargo bikes in the past... and the cake falls apart immediately. Instead of fixing it, they decide to take the top off and transport it in two pieces, then they'll put it back together later (so smart.) Off they go and it's a swervy mess, plus there is lots of bike traffic in the bike lane, so they have to watch for that too.
-In Sweden, the Wrestlers have gone over the 1/10th gallon and have to answer the question.
-Keith & Whitney arrive and he's driven like a green rock star - they get the clue and are choosing Wedding Cake, of course, cause they're getting married.
-The Surfers also failed to drive efficiently so they have to go answer the question too.
-The Wresters work with the Surfers and ask locals to name the capitals - then both teams choose the Wedding cake race.
-The Scientists also show up and failed but answered the capitals quickly and chose Parking Space.
-Shelley & Nici finally arrive in Copenhagen but they couldn't find the cars. Nici is having a bit of a meltdown, taking her frustration out on Mom and Shelley's having none of it... oh boy.
-The Cyclists arrive at the restaurant and fix the cake... but they can't find the receipt... which means they can't get it checked in... eek! (And OMG, the chick at the restaurant has the weirdly darkest tan and super blond hair - that doesn't look good at all - but I bet the Dentists would feel they'd found one of their own.)
-The girls run back outside and luckily find the receipt sitting right there in the gutter - they get back to the bakery and along with the clue beg some baked goods to eat - which the baker gives them (yum, those danish looked good.)
-Oh yeah, then they open the clue which tells them to drive to the Ida Davidsen Restaurant to find their next clue.
-McFakerson's get to the Parking Spot challenge and choose the garden themed scene to recreate - as usual they are convinced they are going to blow everybody away with their attention to detail... (and there are a couple hippy dudes playing music for them... one guy had this huge, long red wig - what was the deal with that wig?)
-The Wrestlers, Surfers and Survivors all get to the Wedding Cake challenge and Robbie wants to eat some of the cakes - Baker tells him he's not allowed.
- The Dentists are still working on their parking spot when the Scientists arrive (much to Jim's dismay).
-Tim & Te Jay did not drive efficiently enough but they knew the capitals and got the clue quickly. They decide to do the Parking Space.
-Shelley & Nici are still really ticked off at each other but Mom drove well and they get the clue right away - and choose Parking Space.
Ida Davidsen Restaurant - ROADBLOCK: Who has a memory for faces?
-One person must become a server and take an order from a table for 4 of the 280 sandwiches on the menu - then they have to memorize the ingredients for the four sandwiches which are ordered by number and give the correct order to the chef - once they can place the order correctly and serve the customers, they'll get the next clue (oh man, this one is impossible.)
-Kym is going to do this one, she was once a horrible waitress who got fired and became a bike messenger - so I guess she has some experience? She can't even remember the numbers of the sandwiches... oy, this is going to take her a while.
-Wedding Cakes - Keith takes the bike into the road instead of the bike lane, their cake falls apart and they have to go back in the bakery and put it back together.
-Robbie is trying to get the bike going but not having much luck and the Surfers have Adam holding the cake while Bethany tries to drive the bike with one arm - she realizes very quickly that she won't be able to control that bike with only one arm and they switch Detours. Once Robbie has a feel for the bike, Brooke gets on the deck and is holding the cake steady just with her arms.
-Back at the restaurant - Kym is still having trouble with the memorizing.
-Keith & Whitney have repaired their cake, get back on the bike and it falls apart immediately again - Okay, Switch.
-Parking Space - Jim & Misti ask for a check of their set up and it's not right - there is a plant pot with a flower painted on both sides - one side has 7 petals and the other has 8 petals. They have to have the 8 petals showing and they have the wrong side out. They still have a couple minutes to fix it but they don't see the problem and time runs out. They have to start over in another spot.
-The Scientists, however, did the living room scene and there was no tricky bit - they get the clue.
-Tim & Te Jay and Mom & Daughter are still driving back to Copenhagen - Nici wants to do the Wedding Cake but Mom already chose and they are doing the Parking Spot.
-Ida's restaurant - Kym has finally put in her order correctly and they get the clue to the Pit Stop - The VM Houses. She tries to get a sandwich on their way out but no luck.
-Wedding cakes - Brooke is true to form, complaining about her arms and back - making faces... but good on her, she's kept that cake in one piece - I bet her back and arms are sore. They are the only other team to complete the wedding cake task and Robbie wants to eat some of the cake still - No!
-Parking Space - the switching teams arrive, the Surfers and Survivors are excited to see the Dentists are still there. They still have the flower pot backwards.
-Adam & Bethany get their parking spot checked they have the same problem - the flower pot is backwards.
-Whitney & Keith did the living room scene as did the Scientists and they get a pass as well.
-Jim & Misti are feeling some Amazing Race karma, they show him saying how he wanted to be the most dominant team in TAR history - but they still can't figure out what they have wrong and he feels that Save slipping through their fingers... After failing to pass the task for the 2nd time, the Dentists decide to switch detours.
-Leaving Bethany & Adam there trying to figure out that darn flower pot.
Ida Davidsen restaurant - The Scientists and the Wrestlers both get there and Maya & Robbie are being the servers. (I gotta say, some of those sandwiches did not sound appetizing - raw egg yolk, horseradish, anchovies - ew.)
-Tim & Te Jay have just arrived at the Parking Space task and are excited to see the Surfers still there. T & T decided to do the garden scene too (oh, this one's harder).
-Shelley & Nici show up too and now Nici's happy they chose that one because there are other teams there - Mom & Daughter are doing the living room.
-Wedding Cake - Jim said the cake wasn't that detailed, if they had done that one first, their day would have been much different (whatever doofus).
-Keith & Whitney get to Ida Davidsen's and she's doing the Roadblock, but her memory suuuuucks, she says.
-Robbie is bringing a lot of personality to his sandwich delivery, but he's still wrong.
-Maya goes to start her order, but then just walks away (ha! This one is really hard.)
-Jim & Misti get the cake together quickly and he's grousing that this was way easier... until they get on the bike and he has a few bobbles and things start falling off the cake.
-Maya gets her order right finally and the Scientists get the clue to the Pit Stop.
-Robbie also gets the order correct and Whitney finishes right after him. They all head for the Pit Stop.
Parking Space - Adam finally sees the flower pot and they take off for Ida Davidsen. Tim & Te Jay also notice their pot was backwards and they take off for the restaurant. Leaving Shelley & Nici still working on their living room scape.
-The Dentists get to the restaurant and the super tan Maitre'd, while being one of their tribe, cannot accept their cake... what's wrong with it? They dropped one little flag off the cake along the way and they have to go back to get it. Jim, "I could just shoot myself in the face right now." (How the mighty have fallen... I'd feel bad for them if he wasn't such a goof.)
-Shelley & Nici are still sniping at each other as they try to set up the living room - Mom's trying to be patient but daughter is acting like a pouting teen.
-Tim & Te Jay and the Surfers get to the restaurant and Te Jay is a server so he's hoping to knock this out quickly - Adam is going to do it for them.
-The Dentists get their cake corrected and delivered.
-Mom & Daughter get their parking spot inspected and pass.
Ida Davidsen - Jim & Misti show up just as Te Jay completes the task and Jim has 'let' her do this one because she has a good memory. He's also very happy to hear that Shelley & Nici are still behind them because they're hoping to hold on to the Save.
-Misti tries to give her order but she didn't give the sandwich numbers just the ingredients - sigh.
-Shelley & Nici show up and Nici is going to rock this.
-Adam gets his order right - meat jelly, cabbage and beet root (gross.)
-Misti - again gets it wrong but Jim is being supportive, telling her to just relax. (I don't know, I can tell he's mad, she just pastes on the beauty pageant smile and said his support made all the difference.)
-Then Nici gets her order correct and there is much jubilation.
-Misti runs back over to try her order again and she's still wrong. Jim is kissing the Save goodbye.
-The Surfers and Mom & Daughter are having trouble finding the Pit Stop. Shelley is tired of being barked at by her daughter all day and refuses to drive anymore - they switch places and it's time for Mom to pout in the backseat (yeah, these two are the same.)
-Misti finally decides to read the clue again because she can't figure out what she's doing wrong... and reads that she has to state the sandwich number... Oh dear lord! She can't believe she made such a fatal mistake. As soon as she added the numbers she was right.
-Back in the cars Nici spots the mat but can't find parking and Shelley calmly says from the backseat, yeah there was a man at the corner... Nici,"why didn't you say something?" "Cause I'm not driving." (Seriously? Your fit of pique is worth losing the race?) Shelley feels she is totally justified, every time Nici starts to have a meltdown, she's just going to stop... (how is that helpful?)
Here's How They Finished:
1) Cyclists - Kym & Alli - the both won a Ford C-Max Energy Hybrid.
2) Wrestlers - Brooke & Robbie
3) Survivors - Keith & Whitney
4) Scientists - Maya & Amy - Amy has an eyebrow contest with Phil :)
5) Tim & Te Jay - The Great Dane with Phil decides it wants to "dance" with Phil, if you know what I mean. Whoa, big boy.
6) Shelley & Nici - Shelley is blaming Nici's attitude for their troubles yet she's sabotaging them by not speaking up. I was team Nici eventhough her freaking out all day would have been exhausting.
7) Surfers Adam & Bethany - No need for tears, you're still in the race.
8) McFakerson Dentists - Jim & Misti - the dog has fallen asleep waiting for these two - and before Phil even says a word, Jim hands over the SAVE... which Phil hands back because this was a NON-ELIMINATION leg! (Oh so lucky!)
-He says every drop of confidence he's had for the first three legs is gone - it's very humbling having challenges that do match up with our skill sets, and then we just screw them up! (I think this was a kick in the pants he needed to take him down a peg - maybe now he'll be watchable.... ah, who am I kidding, he's probably not going to change.)
She says, "We got our teeth kicking in today." And they still put in the tooth glint on her (haha.)
Next week: Marakesh, a Double U-Turn and Keith and Shelley get into it. (oh no you didn't.)
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
Last week we lost the Firefighters when Scott badly twisted his ankle, and made the mistake of asking for directions at a bar instead of the museum.
This episode the teams woke up in tents... yes, they made them camp out on the Shetland Islands after the last leg, some teams embraced it - and some teams, not so much... anyway, McFakerson Dentists are the first team to head out at 10:36am, a little over an hour ahead of the next team.

8) McFakerson Dentists - Jim & Misti - the dog has fallen asleep waiting for these two - and before Phil even says a word, Jim hands over the SAVE... which Phil hands back because this was a NON-ELIMINATION leg! (Oh so lucky!)
-He says every drop of confidence he's had for the first three legs is gone - it's very humbling having challenges that do match up with our skill sets, and then we just screw them up! (I think this was a kick in the pants he needed to take him down a peg - maybe now he'll be watchable.... ah, who am I kidding, he's probably not going to change.)
She says, "We got our teeth kicking in today." And they still put in the tooth glint on her (haha.)
Next week: Marakesh, a Double U-Turn and Keith and Shelley get into it. (oh no you didn't.)
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
