After seeing how this episode started, I still think TAR could've let teams check in at Geneva, then take the trains to Chamonix during the pit stop.

Dana & Matt get their clue they choose Dynamite.

Burnie & Ashley are told to get the clue again. No penalty. They choose Campsite.

Dana has a panic attack.

Brodie & Kurt drop their dynamite and get their next clue in first.

Dana & Matt start moving on Dynamite. Dana's panicking.

Zach is on the way to get his clue. They choose Dynamite in 5th. Scott gets the clue. Scott & Blair choose Dynamite as well.

Sheri having a motherly meltdown over her intense fear of extreme heights. :( I feel for her.

I don't understand why they didn't just do that. Considering how season 27 was one day longer than this season, I don't understand how one extra day would hurt production.

Somewhat linear so far; I hope this changes.

This leg is incredibly dangerous and should not be done again.

It wouldn't even take a day. After checking in, they can go to the train station ASAP.

Hotel charging might have controlled this decision. Possibly a discount for an extended Chamonix stay?

We're back!

Sheri is crying but she does it and gets the clue in last place!

Sheri: I was gonna be a big girl and do it even with tears in my eyes.

Cole is afraid of heights. They don't choose a Detour yet.

ROADBLOCK: "Who feels the wind beneath their face?"
One team member must tandem paraglide with an experienced professional. Upon touching ground, they must answer a question about what they have seen during the trip, regarding the Yeti, to receive their next clue.

Burnie & Ashley should do better next time. I still believe in them! :hoot:

Scott & Blair and Erin & Joslyn arrive at Dynamite. Blair tells Erin & Joslyn to find lunch and then the latter get confused.

Brodie & Kurt arrive at the next clue first and see the Roadblock.

Roadblock: Paraglide and answer the guide's question to get your clue.

Brodie is doing it.

Sheri & Cole finally decide to do dynamite.

Erin & Joslyn still lost :lol:

Tyler & Korey arrive and Korey chooses to do it.

Brodie & Kurt and Tyler & Korey take off.

Sheri & Cole have a hard time.

Tyler & Korey and Brodie & Kurt finish in 1st and 2nd.

I didn't catch it but apparently teams finished the Detour and Burnie/Ashley and Sheri/Cole are bottom 2?

Almost everyone passed Burnie & Ashley. :( I'd consider the detour equal in a way that it's safer but slower or faster but dangerous. Too bad Burnie & Ashley's risk didn't pay off. :(

Yay Tyler & Korey! :hearts:

I like the detour and roadblock for being extreme! :colors The other detour was fine, with a different kind of balance.

The leg became linear with the cable car rides. I understand it's for safety reasons, so they can't do anything about it. :(

I'm hoping for a NEL! :hoot: :hoot: :hoot:
