Ready to see Tbilisi either at its best or the race's generic assumption of it. :waves: Very hopeful of the former.

Previously on The Amazing Race...

Seven teams raced to Yerevan, Armenia!

At the Detour, Burnie & Ashley felt the heat!

While Tyler & Korey were stranded.

With an Express Pass in play, Sheri & Cole arrived right behind the leaders, Brodie & Kurt!

Kurt finished quickly and won the Express Pass for him and Brodie!

Meanwhile... Sheri fell apart. But she and Cole got some welcome news!

Sheri & Cole begin running.

Cole: If we get eliminated today, that's it.
Sheri: I will never live this down. :lol:

Brodie & Kurt arrive at the train station.

Phil: Teams must now take a Midnight Train to Georgia! Once there, they must make their way to Saint George's Square to get their next clue!

All teams arrive at their Detours. Scott & Blair can't do it because there's not enough stations. They eventually decide to just stick with it and wait for a team to finish.

Sheri & Cole arrive at Clean. They begin.

Dana & Matt are lost.

Zach & Rachel finish the Detour first! Burnie & Ashley in 2nd!

Tyler switching! :O

Zach & Rachel arrive at the Roadblock! Phil stand-up!

Roadblock: Perform Georgian Ballet to get your next clue. Zach is doing it!

ROADBLOCK: "Who is light on their feet?"
One team member must perform in sync with a Georgian ballet troupe to receive their next clue

Obviously a task Dana & Matt would conquer.

I'm liking many things now. :grins:
1.) The current Top 2 does not include Brodie & Kurt and Tyler & Korey.
2.) The detour I think takes an equal amount of time, but one side is more fun but harder while the other one is the less fun but easier.
3.) There are lots of placement switches thanks to language barrier (Matt & Dana getting lost and making a semi-wrong decision) and Tyler & Korey switching.
4.) The roadblock seems really difficult too.
5.) Tyler & Korey at the back. :o Nothing against them, but they've been leading for 5 legs. :grins:

Scott & Blair had a chance of surviving. It was just that one mistake of getting the wrong bag and having to return it. :ascared Had he not gotten the wrong bag, the footrace would probably have been more intense, but Scott & Blair have a chance to survive at least.

What I really like about this season:
Leg 2: Dramatic finish with Cameron & Darius beating Marty & Hagan.
Leg 3: 4-way fight for last, with an intense finish thanks to Rachel's and Cameron's mistakes.
Leg 5: 3-way fight for last, with the luck being dependent on the wind.
Leg 7: An intense cab and foot race between Tyler & Korey and Scott & Blair.

So far, only the 9th place finish was a disappointment in this. :lol: The rest are awesome! :luvya: Not the results though, since I would've preferred Marty & Hagan, Erin & Joslyn, and Scott & Blair staying. :torche

While everyone is blahblah about Scott & Blair's elimination, I'm still quite disappointed with Burnie & Ashley's loss again. :gaah: :tantrum

I still don't get why Blair didn't do the RB. Is she that bad of a dancer?

She had a badly hurt knee from the Chamonix leg, remember she fell? She couldn't even bend it then...

I hate to say it given that I hate it but...thiswould've been a good W-Turn leg   :hides

I agree. Both sides were pretty balanced and perfect for a U-Turn!

I agree as well. Moreover, the roadblock was after the detour, so it really fits.

I love this leg! With the balanced and hard Detour tasks, cool locations, and cool Roadblock task make this episode is one of the best on this season. Although I'm sad with the result (Scott & Blair :torche), I'm happy that Zach & Rachel finally won a leg!

By the way, in Indonesia, this episode airs on April 9th, which is the Day of National Unity in Georgia. That's a commemoration day of the tragedy in Georgia on April 9th, 1989 (also known as Tbilisi massacre). :o

As everybody, sad for Burnie and Ashley, but really really happy for Zach and Rachel! :)

I was praying with all my soul for Tyler and Korey to fail the dance at least one more time because I knew they can beat Scot and Blair on a foot race, but they still in the race, and Scot and Blair no. I'm upseeeeet!

Btw, next week is a self-driving leg, yay! :D

After watching the episode again, I think this is one of the best, if not the best, leg yet!

Everything was great! The flow, drama, language barrier, tasks and their difficulties, location, placement shuffling, editing, music, culture, dance performance, cab drama, and whatever else I missed.

Each team received enough screentime, and I don't see anything majorly wrong with the episode.

This episode is entertaining for the viewers while being challenging to the racers. :luvya: :hearts: :hrt: This episode is amazing! Why didn't I notice this much earlier? :lol:

The Wrap: With Blair’s [Fowler] departure on tonight’s episode, we see the breakup of the showmance with Brodie Smith. Did they get to say goodbye, did you shoot it and will it end up on the YouTube channel?

Elise Doganieri: Blair did get to say goodbye to Brodie but you’ll have wait until next week’s episode to see it.

Apparently we get to see Blair next week... but it's even more forced Blodie garbage :res:

Georgia is amazing. Like Armenia, everything is well-preserved, such a scenic place. I love how the modern structures complement the old and historic structures. Would like to go there someday. The tasks, both the Detours and the Roadblock are absolutely cultural and challenging. Love the Roadblock, I was watching a show within a show. I would also like to commend the editing for this episode as everyone got enough screentime, but they could have toned down Tyler & Korey a bit. Overall, this episode clearly delivered and clearly one of the best for this season. 
 
Also, the preview for next week gave away something that I have been waiting for at least a season: Self-Driving!!!

OMG YAS TOTALLY YASSSS

It's such a missed opportunity to be honest, like even the friendly helping attitude between teams has (almost) vanished due to there being less teams and all of their placements falling up and down, so I definitely think a U-Turn would've been used this leg.

This was by far the best leg & episode of the season so far. All of the new countries this season delivered! And all of them deserve returns, CBS, instead of the overused Eurasian countires.
IIRC this was the first leg of the season where teams actively switched between detours? I always looove that!

I wrote down some quotes while watching, which really cracked me up :lol: The episode title was pretty good, but these would've been even better imo

"I'm never good with cleaning my room, but cleaning giant wine glasses.... we'll see. ;)" - Cole
"We've been waiting to dip our nuts for 7 legs. :)" - Korey
"You're gonna eat these after we leave, I know you are. :sab" - Korey, after having his churchkhelas rejected

If Scott & Blair's cab didn't have to stop for gas, or if the cabbie wasn't a moron in the beginning, they would've been safe, even with the bag mistake. You have to have to figure getting gas was at least a few minutes of lost time, and S&B were only like a minute behind during the footrace.

Those scenarios could've changed the situation too, but that's more on the luck side which is not in their control.

Maybe a strong team like Tyler & Korey could've been eliminated had there been a U-turn or W-turn. ??? It could've been a real game changer! :ascared

Tbh now that I've thought about, this set of teams probably wouldn't U-Turn each other unless it was to save themselves from elimination... So I could only see Scott & Blair or Tyler & Korey using the U-Turn on each other.. Or perhaps if Brodie wanted Blair to survive so badly, he could've U-Turned Tyler.

That or Matt & Dana U-turning Tyler & Korey, since Matt & Dana were 6th to finish the detour.

Blair and Scott has to be one of the most popular / team at 7th place with the most screentime. Normally 7th place gets nothing much but I felt that their story came full circle eventually. Happy that they didn't get eliminated on leg 1 and came this far. <3 They were so fun to watch!!

It's a part of the detour and not a route info the way I see it.
But still, it's nice that they had it - even if it was unaired due to so much going on.

They didn't make any wine... ??? Just cleaned up the clay barrels.
I think it was the clue from the Detour saying to deliver the winery's food items. Very interesting.

Marionete is correct. Zach & Rachel and Burnie & Ashley aren't seen receiving clues, only getting :tup:
