And we are on the air!

Previously on TAR, seven teams traveled from Norway to Italy, and many made and carried out a U-Turn gang up. Tara & Joey made art while Scott & Brooke made drama. While Becca & Floyd got first, Vance & Ashton could not make up their time and was eliminated from the race.

Six teams remain, who will be eliminated next?

We commence the leg with Mike & Liz missing home and their families! It's taking a toll on their distance away from who they know.

Becca & Floyd depart first at 3:07 am

ROUTE INFO: Travel by bus to Venice, Italy! Upon arriving, teams must go to Piazza San Marco and find a street sweeper who would hand them their next clue.

Matt & Red and Tara & Joey follow suit.

Teams in the first bus get into the main city's canal system and are now running up to the sweeper! Run Tara & Joey Run!!!

DETOUR: Sing It or Bring It
In Sing It, teams must learn an Italian song and hit all the right melodies to a gondola couple to receive their next clue.
In Bring It, teams must stack a cart with luggage and deliver them to a specified hotel address on foot to get their next clue.

Red & Matt losing 1st due to navigational error... ??? Yeah... especially Brazil, but it was footrace and boat race for the past 2 legs.

LoLo are playing strategy here. They are at the back, so they're playing it smart. :hoot:

As we come back from the break, the odd couple finally receive their DT clue. And Mike & Liz expected help from LoLo, but they are dead to them now. (It's a race, deal with it.)

Matt & Red and Becca & Floyd get to their options. Team Fun look funtastic in their adorable getups. They are singing "The Blonde Girl in the Gondola" while Matt & Red are transporting luggage with utter confusion and falling catastrophe.

ROADBLOCK:
One team member has to choose an actor from the Venetian theatrical performance and create a mask exactly like the one the actor is wearing to receive their next clue.

When was the last time teams went to Venice? I don't remember water taxi drama like this. :lol:

I like how equally challenging both detour are.
Sing It requires signing a song in Italian, and both racers have to be synchronized, of course. I like the boat couple's reactions sometimes. :lol: It gives the teams a clue how well they're doing. :hrt:
Bring It may be a physical task, but it does not require a judge's approval, so teams should just have a good sense of direction, aside from physical strength.

A W-turn here would've been fine, but the way this leg started with the bus ride, maybe it's better on a different leg.

And we return with Scott & Brooke having a mental breakdown over taxis. Redmond's mask gets disapproved because it wasn't shiny enough. Tara reveals the Roadblock question is: "Whose got masked intentions?"

Redmond finishes the RB!
ROUTE INFO: Travel by water taxi to Campo San Vio, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race! Last team to arrive here may be eliminated.
