And on we come! :jumpy:

Previously on TAR, 10 teams raced from Iceland to Antwerp, Belgium and took a bite out of Joey's energy. Cedric & Shawn rebounded from leg 1. Cody & Jessica took the win home after the first head-to-head! Meanwhile, Henry & Evan lost and lost and lost, until Evan fell at the finish. Duking it out in the final race, the goat yogas and firefighters competed and resulted in April & Sarah losing the race.

9 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?!

Cody & Jessica are the first to depart at 6:51 AM. They must fly to tangier, morocco and travel by taxi to the fish port to find one of three marked bins in a sea of chaotic amount of boats. They must organize anchovies properly to the fisherman's approval to receive their next clue.
Basketballers and Skiiers leave 2nd and 3rd.
Trevor & Chris: Is Morocco French of Spanish? The question of life.
Alex & Conor depart 5th and Lucas & Brittany depart 6th.

Meanwhile, cody & Jessica and Henry & Evan are shown chatting about the Yale wizards' sad attempts at the head-to-head battles.
All teams are shown to have arrived with Eric & Daniel show up to much appreciation.

And we return with teams in Tangier and are nearly trampling each other for taxis to the port. Animosity finally to the fish market! Woohoooo! Cody knows some Moroccans speak Arabic, as well as Evan who studied Arabic in Marrakesh (cheaters, lol). Eric & Daniel are hollering at their taxi drivers and Trevor & Chris are hitting some major cultural incomprehension.

Lucas & Brittany arrive at the bins 1st! They begin the anchovy task. Trevor & Chris and Team Big Brother arrive next. Cedric GAGGED and CHUNKED at the site of it, wowza.
Kristi & Jen's taxi are lost and are playing charades with him to take them to the fish market.

ALex & Conor arrive next. Kristi & Jen are continued to become more lost in navigation. Meanwhile at the fishies, Jessica appreciates the fish while Alex & Conor are struggling a bit.

Kristi & Jen take off from their taxi and try sprinting on foot to the port. "This sucks!" said Kristi quietly.

Kristi & Jen believe they are done for. The Medina is not petite whatsoever. They ask a biker and receive directions to the port successfully!

Meanwhile, the fish are grossing some people out - except for Tim who is clearly loving herrings raw. The biggest detail was to have the fish face in the right direction and not let them slide down from the stack. Cody & Jessica receive their next clue!

Make your way to Kisariate Jbala Souk and greet "As-salam" to the man sitting with the Travelocity Roaming Gnome to find the next clue underneath.

Meanwhile, Kristi & Jen LOVE fish and take no prisoner with this task. Henry & Evan and Eric & Daniel catch up to Cody & Jessica in the meantime. Cedric & Shawn depart 6th from the fish and Lucas & Britt have fallen to 7th while Kristi & Jen bump up to 8th. Alex & Conor are frustrated.

"Up a hill!" Luke & Britt and Kristi & Jen band together while Alex & Conor receive their clue from the fish task.

Joey & Tim arrive at the souq, but don't notice the gnome. They go back outside and search some more. Meanwhile, Evan & Henry greet the man and receive their clue and gnome combo. They encounter a roadblock: "Who's ready to rock the kasbah?"

Jason Bourne was performed here where numerous stunts were filmed. One team member must go to the American Legation building with their gnome. At the rooftop, the gnome will be ziplined to another rooftop on a random Tangier building which teams must navigate the streets to find in order to receive their next clue.

Followed by all other teams with Joey & Tim finally rediscovering the kasbah in last. LOL Cody & Jess and the firefighters get to the building followed by many other teams. "Where is the gnome?" It's like Where's Waldo... "I hated that game" - season 14 Kisha & Jen reference.

Henry & Evan and Cody & Jess find the gnome and figure out their must travel to the Kasbah Museum to send off the gnome again. Everyone is neck and neck.

Cedric is the first to arrive, bounding back from that terrible leap from that first rooftop. :lol3: Everyone is confused where he sent his gnome.

We return with Chris realizing Cedric didn't have his gnome and was casually walking. Trailing teams all caught up and are on their way to the second zipline. "Down the hill and right again" - Brittany.

Cedric is staring at the route of the zipline and is getting progressively tired due to the narrow structures of Tangier buildings. He is POOPED! Conor is next to follow and is accustomed to the heat, duration, and endurance due to his Indy experience. Meanwhile, Kristi and Chris reach the boutique where they must insert coins from their pouch

Teams must travel to a blue teleboutique to receive a special message saying good morning and report it to the manager to receive their next clue. "DO NOT OPEN YOUR CLUE UNTIL REUNITED WITH YOUR PARTNER!"

Cedric super confused due to not finding his coins in the gnome's pouch. Henry receives his clue and following is Cedric finally realizing this revelation. Everyone on their way back to the souq.

Henry & Evan reveal the Detour clue 1st: Drop It Off or Shake It Off

In Drop It Off, teams must deliver the produce in wagons to different addresses to receive stamps. They must trade the receipts with the head produce vendor to receive their next clue. In Shake, teams must belly dance to look for three words spelling out the name of the Detour.

Brittany, Tim, and Jessica are back at it with the teleboutique. Brittany forgets her gnome and Jessica does not feel bad knowing she is in dead last.

Eric & Daniel are at the Drop Detour and most climb up the sloping streets with the pumpkins. On the other side, Alex & Conor are dancing along while only Henry and not Evan is shaking. They are searching.

Brittany has an epiphany that she forgot her gnome and calls on "her race mom", Jessica, to remember where she put him at? Huh.

We come back with Brittany in distress. She is calling out to Jessica for help. Tim catches a lucky break. Brittany realizes she let Jessica drop off her gnome and she forgets it. Tim & Joey and Lucas & Brittany race back to the souq while Cedric is hopelessly lost and passes the souq. He is LOST LOST LOST! And he finally finds the souq with cheering Moroccans in the background.

Meanwhile at the belly dance party, Alex & Conor are the worst dancers ever while discovering the clues on the stomachs. Henry & Evan also see the trend too. But Yale are first to get the task correct and head to the PIT STOP!

Moulay Hafid Palace, built in the 19th century by a sultan, is the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. Last team to arrive may be eliminated.

Meanwhile, the wagoners are struggling. Cody & Jess switch from Drop to Shake due to the exhaustion of the Roadblock. Lucas & Brittany push through with strength! Meanwhile, Eric & Dan receive their 1st stamp.

Henry & Evan are running to the Pit Stop, found a taxi, while ALex & Conor forget their gnome back at the belly dance club before going back in their taxi.  Trevor & Chris and Kristi & Jen are dancing for their clues while the latter get the clue, followed by the orchestra boys. Eric & Daniel still running with their 2nd batch while Lucas & Britt delivered the 1st batch. Eric & Daniel deliver their final set and back to the wholesale they go! Cedric & Shawn struggling with the carts.

And we are at the Pit Stop! Drums and musicians with a mad dash by  Yale and Indy!!!! And Henry & Evan arrive 1ST while Alex & Conor and 2ND. And Kristi & Jen and Trevor & Chris magically come from behind in 3rd and 4th. Henry & Evan are awarded with NOTHING.... just kidding, a trip to Zurich, Switzerland! Finally.

Probably best to avoid those market searching/delivery tasks, which come up in some form every season, if possible. They are easily the more time-consuming Detour almost always.

Lucas & Brittany receive their 3rd receipt and head back to the wholesale. Cedric & Shawn finally deliver their 1st cart and are on their way to the pumpkin station. Joey & Tim and Cody & Jess are neck and neck and are trying to find the clue. Though Cody & Jess get their clue while Joey is just not helping whatsoever - wow.

Lucas & Britt receive their Pit Stop clue while Cedric & Shawn trail with their final delivery.

Cody & Jessica are TEAM NUMBER 5! Jessica defines her love for Cody as ever-growing! Finally a good change from the horrors of Brenchel. And Lucas & Brittany are struggling with a taxi while Eric & Daniel and Joey & Tim get their next clue.

Joey & Tim are lost and confused in navigation. "Tim, get my bag. I can't do it!"

Meanwhile, Cedric & Shawn are returning to the wholesale to trade their receipts. Cedric is exhausted! He spoke about his previous heart attacks and is bumbling with a no-quit attitude. "You gotta drag me out of here Phil!"

Joey & Tim arrive in 6TH PLACE!

Meanwhile, the basketballers, Eric & Daniel and Lucas & Brittany take a taxi to the Pit Stop. It's a foot race, y'all!
And Eric & Daniel come in 7TH PLACE! Followed by Lucas & Brittany in 8TH, a very close shave.

Cedric & Shawn slow-run to the mat and are excited to see Phil. Unfortunately, they are the last team to arrive... but this is a non-elimination Leg and are still in the race! They will encounter a Speed Bump in the following leg.

Cedric: "We're going into overtime, Speed Bump, we're coming for you!"

End credits.

All tasks were really great. I wish this was an elimination leg, though, and leg 1 could've been a NEL instead.
