Smells Like a Million Bucks
Last week the teams headed to Munich, Germany where Bergen & Kurt couldn't get it in gear (how could neither one of them drive a standard) and went home.
-Aly & Steve came in first and each won a 2015 Ford Focus. They are also the first team heading out at 9:00am - they get the clue that they are heading to Monaco. First they'll fly over the Alps and land in Nice, France where they'll be outfitted appropriately (in formal wear) for their helicopter arrival in Monaco. They head for the airport.
-Matt & Ashley next out at 9:57am - they're going to be shooting for the win every leg so they can win themselves a honeymoon.
-At the airport Aly & Steve get a flight arriving at 5:05pm, Matt & Ashley's flight doesn't get them in until 6:15pm.
-Jackie & Jeff head out 10:38am - they may fight but they get it out and over with, Jackie says they really do like each other and are having a great time.
-Jelani & Jenny - 10:41am, Blair & Hayley - 10:47am, Tyler & Laura - 10:58am - they're all excited to be dressing up fancy and heading to Monaco. These teams all get the same flight getting them in at 5:55pm (hmm, where did Matt & Ashley get their flight?)
-Mike & Rochelle are the last to leave at 1:03pm - she says they do well as underdogs, they're going to keep fighting and hopefully stay in it. At the airport, they get a flight that gets them in at 8:45pm - oof.
-Steve & Aly are boarding their first flight out and Mike & Rochelle happen to see them and think, hey, let's see if somebody doesn't make this flight and they can squeeze us in... and it works - they are now on the first flight out with the Olympians! (Way to go TruckStopLove!)
-2nd flight heads out with four teams on it and they're all thinking that Mike & Rochelle are about 1.5hrs behind them... uh oh, I hope they don't race like they have a cushion, that could be a team's demise right there.
Laura & Tyler do know that Matt & Ashley booked the wrong flight and are getting in after them at 6:15pm. (So, if they are not allowed to buy and return tickets to improve their flight, how were Mike & Rochelle allowed to standby...? I'm sure it's some loophole.)
-Last flight heads out with Matt & Ashley on board.
Nice, France
-Aly & Steve are the first off the plane but they all end up at the Westminster Hotel getting suited and gowned up for their arrival in Nice. They try on the dresses and the guys get their suits measured then are given a ticket when they can pick up the clothes tomorrow (oh, so they'll all be together anyway.)
-2nd flight arrives at the hotel as first two teams are finished their fittings and everyone is shocked to see Mike & Rochelle.
-3rd flight lands and they are showing everyone getting dressed - all the girls are in black dresses so far except Jackie who they put in RED.
-I think Blair looks like Ryan Gosling in his suit but Hayley laughs and says he looks like Pee Wee Herman (wow, these two really don't like each other.) Her dress is nice but then she opens her mouth and she's not pretty anymore.
-Laura & Tyler look fantastic together, she's in a black column dress with gold sequin sections up both sides and he's very dapper in his suit.
-Last team getting dressed and Ashley's also got a colour to her gown, it's aubergine (dark purple) but she says she hates the dress, "This is an 8th grade dinner date dress." (Wow, who were you going out for dinner with in 8th grade?... that dress would not be appropriate, let me just say.
8:15am, next day - they're all decked out in their evening attire and getting on their helicopters to Monaco.
-Steve & Aly are first out and first to the ROADBLOCK - Who wants to treat their partner?
-Roses & Chocolates - travelling by foot one team member will have to pick up Grace Kelly's favourite chocolates and a dozen roses named for her, then they'll have to find their partner on a luxury yacht in Monaco's harbour.
-Steve, Mike, Jenny, Laura, Hayley... are all doing this Roadblock and I think it was a bit more physical than expected. Steve was the first out and he asks directions... and they point straight up and on the other side of the palace - yup, there is going to be lots of running up hills and own dale in this one... in suits and gowns. Steve is used to running but poor Mike is dying, "Uh, it's pretty warm in this suit."
-Jenny & Laura decide to work together... since Jenny has a map she knows where they need to go... and they are running in their dresses, luckily they are in flats because doing this in heels would be torture.
-On the Yacht, Rochelle's on the look out for sweaty Mike, Aly can't wait to eat the chocolates, Jelani & Tyler are just sitting back and laughing that their girls are doing this one as they have some drinks.
-Back out on the street, Hayley is complaining to the camera that she's getting a blister... and there is no running - she tells us later in an interview with Blair that he's been carrying their team so she did this one to prove she could contribute too (yeah, right.)
-Steve's got the flowers and chocolates, now he's just got to find the yacht... which he did with no problem - they read the clue to head to the Casino de Monte Carlo.
-The rest of the teams arrive in Nice and Jackie and Matt are going to be doing the Roadblock as well.
-Mike's got the flowers and chocolates but he's not sure which area the yacht is in so he heads up to the look out to see if he can find the marked yacht (read the clue, it tells you where the boat's moored.)
-Laura & Jenny have the flowers and are picking the chocolates and Jenny tells us since she was doing all the work to gather the chocolates she picked all her favourites.
-Jackie did the same, picked her favourite chocolates.
-Mike finally makes a decision to head down to the boats and finds out he's at the wrong quay (see, if you read the clue, it tells you which marina - just shaking my head.) He is the next one to find the yacht though and Rochelle thanks him for the gifts but he gets no hug - cause, so sweaty!
-Steve & Aly get to the Casino and it is beautiful inside... they head to the roulette table which will determine their DETOUR - if the pea lands on red they will have to do Don't Slack Off, if it lands on black, Win By A Nose. Both tasks will require the teams to pick up a Ford Fiesta from the valet.
-Steve & Aly get black and Win By a Nose (we still don't know what that means.) They go pick up their car and have to drive to a church.
-Jenny & Laura finally show up at the yacht and Tyler & Jelani are bowing to them "We're not worthy" - Jenny plays it up, smacking him with the roses, "Here are your damn roses and chocolates."
-Jackie's picking up the flowers and Matt's picking up the chocolates...
-Hayley gets to the yacht and you can tell she's trying to be nice - these two get along better apart for sure.
-Mike & Rochelle get to the casino which was another up-hill run (poor sweaty Mike) and they also get black and the Win By a Nose Detour. They head out and pick up a car.
-Jenny & Jelani get red and Don't Slack Off. (Oh good, we can see what that one is too.)
-Tyler & Laura are also doing black - Win By a Nose... and as these two are heading out to pick up the car, Laura reveals that she has Jenny's map (oh no, asking for Race karma to get you there.)
-Mike & Rochelle's car is finally brought around but they don't know where they're going so they run over to a business to ask directions and we see that Mike's suit back is completely sweat soaked (yeah, I wouldn't want to hug that either.) Back in the car Rochelle is enjoying the best chocolates she's ever had.
-Meanwhile, Jenny has realized she doesn't have the map and is blaming Jelani for losing it... this is while they are at the valet and Laura is behind them... just as it looks like she's about to offer the map back to Jenny, Tyler pulls her away. And Jenny escalates her annoyance with Jelani to extend to them again trying to drive a standard - she takes over and he seems fine with that.
-Laura & Tyler get in their car and decide they should choose new boushy names to go with the boushiness of Monaco - so they go with their middle names: Magdelena and Haze do Monaco (and it totally works) - but please stop saying boushy.)
-Jackie finally makes it to the yacht with the roses and chocolates. Matt is the last to the yacht... Ashley is so proud of him and she got roses and chocolate out of the deal (that makes it sound like they are going home.)
-Steve & Aly can't find the church and when they ask directions, they also can't understand what the woman was saying...
-Blair & Hayley also land on black - Another Win By A Nose.
-Jeff & Jackie get red to go with her dress and Don't Slack Off.
-Steve & Aly get stuck on a narrow road behind a police incident (of some kind, cop car blocking the way) so Steve runs back to the car behind them who tells them the church just up ahead is where they want to be - so he parks and they take off on foot (but Aly's not so sure.) And for good reason - it's the wrong church, they head back to the car, "Why is this so hard?"
-Matt & Ashley are the last at the Casino and they get Don't Slack Off.
-Aly & Steve decide to read the clue again and realize they should have headed to Eze (another town) which the woman had tried to tell them but Aly didn't understand... now they've wasted a lot of time and still have to drive to the other town.
-Mike & Rochelle are the first team to the courtyard of Notre Dame (which was another run up a big hill) - Mike's getting his work out today... and Phil tells us the task: In Win By A Nose - they must mix a bottle of signature cologne and perfume under the guidance of Fragonard perfumiere. Using a recipe provided, they must try to mix the 12 essences exactly to match the scents - to get the next clue.
-They start and Mike's focused like he never was in chemistry class... Rochelle messes up her second measurement and admits that she never took chemistry (but you can do this, it's just measuring!)
-Jeff & Jackie stop to ask for directions and Matt & Ashley pass them on the road - oops.
-But it's Jenny & Jelani who are the first team to reach Don't Slack Off - and Phil tells us this requires the teams to be daredevils - zip-lining 2000ft above the city and then walking the slack-line back to get their next clue.
-Jenny says as long as they don't have to drive anymore, she's all in.
-Matt & Ashley get there and start suiting up just as Jenny starts her screaming zip-line across.
-Magdalena & Haze (aka Tyler & Laura) are the next to get to Win By A Nose. Mike & Rochelle have been bickering, he's looking over her shoulder, she's telling him to just worry about his own... so this added pressure may not be good for them.
-Tyler & Laura decide instead of working on one each, she'll find all the essences and he will measure so they get them done together.
-Jelani has zip-lined over and Jenny is starting the walk back - it's a beautiful view but it's also very windy and not easy to walk a tightrope, even when you're tied off.
-Steve & Aly have finally arrived in Eze and if she could keep her shoes on they may actually make it to the perfumerie.
-Blair & Hayley have made it there before them and they are comfortable with this as they both minored in chemistry (whatever) she's going to tell him what they need and he's going to do the measuring (she's trying so hard not to be a harpy, it's awkward and uncomfortable to watch.)
-Mike & Rochelle are down to the mystery fragrances - some of the essences are just numbered and they have to smell them to find, vanilla, for example. (Oh, that makes this much more challenging.) Rochelle says it starts to give you a headache after a while and it's hard to differentiate the smells.
-Laura & Tyler have gotten down to the mystery essences too and they were tricky by putting those fragrances near the end of the recipe...
-Steve & Aly finally get to the By A Nose challenge and he's saying he's got an excellent sense of smell - we shall see.
-Don't Slack off - Jenny's so fake, I can't stand it. She's giving us a commentary with no emotion, "This will go down as one of the craziest things I've ever done!" (ugh, I'm not buying her manufactured for the camera excitement.)
-Jackie on the other hand, I believe when she says she loves heights... Jeff is not so keen.
-Matt & Ashley do the zip-lining and there are a lot of "Oh yeah Baby!"'s coming from Matt.
-Once Jelani makes the slack line walk back they get the clue to the Pit Stop - Plage De Passable.
-By A Nose - there is still tension between Mike & Rochelle but Blair says it's so amazing if you dress up a woman she's in a good mood all day and even agreeing with him Hayley tries to talk over him (even when she's nice she's annoying.) Steve is trying to figure out the mystery scents - he smells Cilantro (huh?) - Tyler smells coconut and Laura thinks it's caramel... yeah, after a while they're all going to smell the same.
-Ashley is walking the rope back with her eyes closed because every time she realized how high up she was, she almost threw up in her mouth... and it's so windy (that would be pretty scary.)
-Jeff is getting ready to do the zip-line and he's afraid but the quick across is the easy part.
-Ashley finally makes it back to land and hugs the first rock she sees - solid ground under her feet feels so good.
-Meanwhile, Mike & Rochelle are finally getting their perfume and cologne tested by the expert - Rochelle gets a pass on the perfume but his is not vanilla... darn it!
-Laura & Tyler are next up and he says it smells like a million bucks... but no, their sweet grass concoction is not correct.
-Matt & Jeff are both doing the slack-line walk across and Matt is not talking for once so he must be scared. Jeff is shaking like a leaf and he full on admits it was scaring the bleep out of him.
-Matt makes it across and Jeff is not too far behind, he may have peed his pants, just a little. (HA!) Jackie gets on the slack-line and just shuffled at mach speed across - she killed it cause she had no fear, it's amazing what the mind can do.
-All the perfumers are still at it, mixing their scents again and Laura asks Hayley which one is caramel and she tells her... what?
-Steve & Aly are the first team to get the clue - on their first try, so if they had gotten there first, they could have... anyway, these things happen on the race.
-Laura & Tyler are the next team to complete their scents and get the clue to the pit stop.
-Hayley & Blair get a pass on their perfumes on the first try and head out.
-Which leaves Mike & Rochelle, first in, last out - but they finally get a pass and everyone is heading for the Pit Stop.
-Blair & Hayley are in a shop asking for directions.
-Mike & Rochelle ask a lady on the street for directions.
-Jenny tells Jelani to read their map and he sends them on their way towards Nice... hopefully (for his sake) that's the right way.
-Matt & Ashley flag over a lady in the middle of seemingly nowhere to give them directions.
-Steve & Aly are asking for directions.
-Blair & Hayley are proud of how they did today, especially since they didn't really fight all day (and I'm ashamed to say it was boring.)
-And then we find out that Jelani did tell Jenny to turn the wrong way so he's in the dog house and they have to head back the way they came.
-Jeff & Jackie get to the Nice airport... hmm, don't think that's right.
-Jenny's still berating Jelani and he's just laughing at her - what else can he say, he thought he was giving her the right directions, she says they'll talk about this later and he laughs, "I'm sure we will."
-It boils down to every team hoping that the other teams got as lost as they did...
Here's How They Finished:
1) Blair & Hayley - they won a trip to South Africa - they figured if they had one leg without an argument they could win first place and they did it, so now she has no doubt they can win the whole thing. (We'll see if they can sustain the no arguing.)
2) Steve & Aly - They smelled so good.
3) Mike & Rochelle - and he gets a kiss.
4) Matt & Ashley - yes, we'll take it!
5) Jenny & Jelani - in the car he was saying he's not having fun, he's so over this, as she's blaming everything on him.
6) Tyler & Laura - so relieved to still be in it and they got date night again but they are not kissing and telling Phil anything.
7) Jeff & Jackie - ***ELIMINATED*** She was crying that she didn't want to go home but he said it was an experience like none other - they are actually one of the teams that like each other. He got the most bad-ass girl out there and she says she couldn't have had a better partner to share this with, he's going to be in her life forever. "I'm going to give him my number." (Hahaha, so he wins after all?)
And with Jeff & Jackie leaving us this week, that takes Denise R., Katie L., Cindi C., Jasmina J. and Bernice R. out of the pool.
Next week: it's a 2 hour episode and they head to Namibia - they're going to have to deal with some wild animals and car troubles.
Have a wonderful week everyone,
Coleen

-Blair & Hayley are proud of how they did today, especially since they didn't really fight all day (and I'm ashamed to say it was boring.)
-And then we find out that Jelani did tell Jenny to turn the wrong way so he's in the dog house and they have to head back the way they came.
-Jeff & Jackie get to the Nice airport... hmm, don't think that's right.
-Jenny's still berating Jelani and he's just laughing at her - what else can he say, he thought he was giving her the right directions, she says they'll talk about this later and he laughs, "I'm sure we will."
-It boils down to every team hoping that the other teams got as lost as they did...
Here's How They Finished:
1) Blair & Hayley - they won a trip to South Africa - they figured if they had one leg without an argument they could win first place and they did it, so now she has no doubt they can win the whole thing. (We'll see if they can sustain the no arguing.)
2) Steve & Aly - They smelled so good.
3) Mike & Rochelle - and he gets a kiss.
4) Matt & Ashley - yes, we'll take it!
5) Jenny & Jelani - in the car he was saying he's not having fun, he's so over this, as she's blaming everything on him.
6) Tyler & Laura - so relieved to still be in it and they got date night again but they are not kissing and telling Phil anything.
7) Jeff & Jackie - ***ELIMINATED*** She was crying that she didn't want to go home but he said it was an experience like none other - they are actually one of the teams that like each other. He got the most bad-ass girl out there and she says she couldn't have had a better partner to share this with, he's going to be in her life forever. "I'm going to give him my number." (Hahaha, so he wins after all?)
And with Jeff & Jackie leaving us this week, that takes Denise R., Katie L., Cindi C., Jasmina J. and Bernice R. out of the pool.
Next week: it's a 2 hour episode and they head to Namibia - they're going to have to deal with some wild animals and car troubles.
Have a wonderful week everyone,
Coleen
