Get It Trending (Blodie)
We hit a reset this week when everyone travelled together to their next destination - Geneva, Switzerland! This also gave the teams the chance to interact with each other, and in one case, maybe allow a little romance to blossom. Who is that you ask? The loud frisbee player Brodie, and makeup tutorial girl Blair. Korey & Tyler dubbed them Blodie, "Blair + Brodie = Blodie. Get it trending."
They got to Geneva in the dark of night and there was lots of running through the streets but they ended up having to take numbers to start out the next morning at 10am. They put them up in a basement somewhere ... where there was more time for Blodie to germinate in the cuddle pile. (Of course her dad is there so cuddle was all it was. These U-Tube-types are acting like junior high kids, tittering about the crush, it was funny at first, but got old quick.)
Next morning they get a box of chocolates with the clue to the DETOUR: Work Bench or Bench Work
-In Work Bench - they have to assemble a Swiss Army Knife.
-In Bench Work - they have to find the world's longest bench and work out how many people can sit on it holding a paper open in front of them (190-197 is the range they have to reach.)
Work Bench: Zach & Rachel, Tyler & Korey, Scott & Blair
Bench Work: Burnie & Ashley, Erin & Joselyn, Sheri & Cole, Dana & Matt, Jessica & Brittany, Brodie & Kurt
The spirit of cooperation was in full force on the Bench Work, with so many teams lots of them worked together and when the Frisbee players were the first to get the right answer, they shared it with a bunch of them... but they all still had to do the counting before they re-guess.
The knife teams did really well but the precision nature of the task made it a little longer. Bonus, they got to keep the knives they made.
All teams moved on to the ROADBLOCK: Who's Having a Banner Day? Outside the United Nations there are flags of all the member countries. One person from each team had to find 14 flags in their flag book that correspond with the 14 countries that were in yellow on the board they were looking at. Once they figured out the board was the map to the actual flagpoles, they could run out and find the flagpoles that would show them the flags.
-The spirit of cooperation carried over into this task as most of the teams were there at the same time, they were pairing off and working together... except for the last team, who happened to be the models. Jessica couldn't believe that no one would help her - I'm sure being pretty and nice, that's never happened to her before in her life - but both Jessica and Brittany were shocked and really upset that no one would help them (I think it kind of shattered their world view a little.) But in terms of the Race, of course no one is going to help the last place team and risk coming in last place themselves.
The PIT STOP ended up being in France, so they all had to take a train to Martigny, with one connection to make it to Chamonix... and the Models missed the train.
Here is How They Finished:
All the teams got to the matt together except the models:
1) Brodie & Kurt - They won $3K each!
2) Tyler & Korey
3) Dana & Matt
4) Burnie & Ashley
5) Zach & Rachel
6) Erin & Joselyn
7) Sheri & Cole
8) Scott & Blair
9) Jessica & Brittany ***ELIMINATED*** They were so sad, but they were glad they ran the race together.
And with Models leaving, that takes: Roxanne S., Tori K., Asia R., Andria S. and Vikki M. out of the pool.
Next week the teams take on the Alps, crossing a chasm and paragliding in the snowy peaks - if nothing else it will be pretty.
Have a great week everyone,
Coleen
