Previously on TAR, six teams traveled from Lake Como to Venice! During the roadblock, Redmond set the record straight to get The Boys the first 1st while Mike & Liz fell behind, but were saved. Six teams still racing, who will be eliminated next?

This previously-on segment is very dull and choppy, but I guess it's not that important?

We start the leg with a regular contemporary episode with Matt & Red opening their clue to travel to Greece! All teams on their way. Scott and Brooke are getting along okay-er now.

Tara & Joey are lured into a Greek dance trap :lol: while LoLo say "All good in the hood."

Scott & Brooke are first to the u-Turn and choose to penalize Mike & Liz while Tara & Joey (Team Unfun) U-Turn Team Fun.

DETOUR:
For the Bride: Deliver balls of cheese to the bride
For The Groom: Race up a steep stair path with locals to pick up a goat from a shepherd.

Meanwhile, the U-Turned teams are having severe trouble finding the way to Arahova.

I prefer teams who don't force out drama. LoLo explained it here that they don't want drama. :bump

Liz & Mike and self-driving easily spells disaster. :lol: :(

The pre-detour U-turn seems to work out here because it's not cab-based but SELF-DRIVING! :conf:

Becca & Floyd missed the bridge for 40+  and are on the right track now.

At the Detour, everyone chooses the Bride Detour: first, they have to carry milk and a donkey to the cheese farmer lady.

Tara & Joey are the first to receive cheese from the milk delivery and Scott & Brooke and The Boys follow suit. Meanwhile, the unrelated parents get their second cheese.

London & Logan are shocked Team Fun were U-Turned

I'm worried for Michael. He forgot to retrieve a goat from the shepherd and now has to climb the endless number of stairs once more to get it.

The U-turn from Brooke & Scott was strategic, although it was also betrayal from the ladle roadblock.
The U-turn from Tara & Joey was only a waterfall effect from the previous U-turn. Strategic, as Liz & Mike would not have known who was behind them.
I guess the W-turn worked out well as teams who received it are neck-and-neck for last.

Tasks with donkeys on TAR always DELIVER! :funny:

The roadblock requires symmetry, accuracy, concentration. It is a Leg-8-difficulty type of task, and its difficulty avoids it from being linear.

I heard Matt saying he had to do it. Could this be an instance wherein Redmond could not do it die to his "best leg?" ??? (They could've done this in TAR25 for Bethany too if that was the case.)

50 minutes into the episode and there is still no speedbump in action. :o

This leg is frenzy overall! We have a detour, a W-turn, a roadblock, a speedbump, and an ARI. Bonus points for pit stop in somewhere historical. Best leg and leg design so far! :hoot:
