Have Fun and Get It Done
Last week the teams all ganged up at the U-Turn and took out the oddball team of Vanck & Ashton.
This leg they remained in Italy - Becca & Floyd were the first team out at 3:07am and they got the clue to head to Venice, Italy. There will be two buses at 4:15 and 4:30am so everyone will be pretty close together. Becca said now it will be a race to keep Tara & Joey at the bottom (oh are they the new target, these teams are feeling very high school cliquish.)
This is a four hour bus ride and it's more of a van... Scott is finding this race challenging having a partner with a glass half empty attitude - he knows anything slightly negative he may say would just send her spiralling so he's got to stay positive to survive.
First bus arrives in Venice and they immediately are on water taxi's heading for the Piazza San Marco. Tara knows that the spazzino they need to find is a local street sweeper in green, everyone else will have to notice the small red & yellow marker on his broom.
Tara & Joey are the first team to get the clue to the DETOUR: Sing it or Bring it.
In Sing it, teams had to dress as gondoliers (yay! I love it when they have to dress up) and practice a traditional Italian serenade, when ready they had to perform the song on board a gondola tour along Grand Canal. If the mandolin player is satisfied with their notes correctly, he will give them their the next clue.
In Bring it, teams had to work as porters and pick up a dolly of suitcases to the name of the hotel onto the suitcase's tag, then carry them through the stairs and narrow alleys of Venice to Ca' Nigra Lagoon Resort. Once all the suitcases delivered to the hotel's porter, he will give them their next clue.
Tara & Joey decide to do Bring it and head out on foot but get pretty lost looking for the suitcases.
Becca & Floyd - after asking a local what the spazzino was, got the clue and decided to Sing it (of course, they are team fun and who doesn't want to dress up?)
Matt & Redmond are bringing it all day long and take a water taxi straight to the task, load up their cart - complain about how heavy it is (there were a lot of bags) but still bang it out like it was nothing, up and down stairs, through narrow alleys, no problem.
Second bus of teams arrive and Logan & London get the clue from the street sweeper right away, no one saw them get it and when Michael called out to them to ask if they found the clue, they didn't answer - Michael took this snub very personally, he will not be helping them anymore (as you shouldn't be there are only six teams left.)
London & Logan are going to do Bring it and they run into Brooke & Scott still looking for the clue, don't help them either - oops, sorry, not sorry.
Liz & Michael and Brooke & Scott are also going to Sing It. Both of these teams are done with Team Lolo after their shadiness with the clue misdirection.
Bring it - oh, the boys have to put on a porter outfit, which is just a navy vest, not half as fun as the gondolier red & white striped shirts and flat hats. Matt & Redmond get to work while Tara & Joey and London & Logan are still trying to find the place on foot.
Sing It - Becca & Floyd look so cute - and they jump right in trying to learn the song, at least they will be able to read it - their main issue is singing it together and they do have to take quite a few shots at it. Their enthusiasm is much better than their voices.
Bring It - Tara & Joey finally find the luggage just ahead of London & Logan, and this is a very physical challenge - there is luggage falling everywhere - lots of stairs and bridges... I would die.
Sing It -Liz & Michael had surprisingly pleasant voices and they did well with the song in practice, it takes all of them quite a few tries to get the mandolin players approval.
-Brooke & Scott - she, of course, complained she couldn't learn it being able to hear Liz & Michael singing but once they headed out she could concentrate. Scott & Brooke sound pretty good too - but they have to make a couple attempts.
Matt & Redmond are the first team to deliver the luggage and they get the clue to head to the Roadblock - Matt whistled for a taxi and a boat pulled over for them - Redmond thought that was the coolest thing. They are the first team to the ROADBLOCK: Who has masked intentions?
One team member must choose an actor from a Venetian masquerade performance, Commedia dell'arte, and paint exact copy of their mask. If they can successfully recreate it to the satisfaction of the artist, they would be given their next clue.
-Redmond is doing this one and since he's there by himself, he takes the time to watch the demonstration and see how the colour goes on first, then overlay the black and wipe it off to blend before adding the details.
The other teams start finishing the tasks and it's an issue for some to find water taxi's to head to the Roadblock - water or road, those darn taxi's can make or break your race. There is lots of Brooke's complaining, Logan & London are able to beg a shared ride with a family heading to the airport.
Roadblock: Redmond finishes his mask and gets the clue to head to the PIT STOP (Campo San Vio) just as Tara & Joey show up. Tara is going to do this one even though she doesn't enjoy painting - and she doesn't watch the demonstration which was a mistake.
-Floyd shows up and he is a very good student, watching the demo carefully and following the steps exactly - he does a great job.
-Mike & Liz show up and she is so excited - she LOVES TO PAINT - but also doesn't watch the demo like she should have but in her case it was because she thought she already knew how to do it - mistake.
Outside Mike is complaining to Joey about London & Logan not helping them find the clue - he really needs to let it go - Mike has an issue with holding on to every slight.
-London & Logan get there and our resident artist, London, is doing the Painting. Logan might have felt it a little frosty waiting outside with Mike.
-Brooke & Scott are the last team there and he's getting Brooke to do this one (really?) Inside she is immediately whining, asking how to do it - she is annoying and Liz tells the camera she just needs to put on her big girl panties and get it done (Amen!)
-Tara does not pass her first inspection and has to start her mask over, because it was not blended - she watches the demo this time and Floyd also tells her about the wiping off part as he's leaving with the clue to the Pit Stop.
-Liz wasn't doing it right and London knew that but she couldn't help her, she's in ruthless mode at this point in the race. And Liz fails her first attempt, she's got to do it again and the burn there is that Brooke ends up finishing before her which was totally demoralizing to Liz.
Here's How They Finished:
1) Matt & Redmond - they won a trip to Granada - but for them their first first place was the sweetest reward.
2) Becca & Floyd
3) Tara & Joey - She just wants to have fun and get it done.
4) Brooke & Scott
5) London & Logan
6) Liz & Michael - **NON-ELIMINATION** She just didn't want to let her partner down and was very emotional that they still had a chance - though they will face a Speed Bump next leg.
So no one went home and Roxanne S., Laura W., Denise R., and Lindsay J. got a reprieve this leg.
Next week they are heading to Greece - Micheal & Liz get lost on a self-drive and there is yet another double U-Turn (holy carp, that's a lot of U-Turns.)
Have a great weekend everyone,
