TAR14 EP1: 'Don’t Let a Cheese Hit Me' (Switzerland)
puddin:
Nice catch Kiwi, so no detour this leg, all teams must to do the cheese. So they swapped the detour to give us a Roadblock which we normally do not have in EP1 :tup:
I still wonder if there is a task they have to do in Ticino? I hate to think its first come first serve, whoever gets to the church first signs in first ... it doesn't seem very balanced.

Ms Puddin,
I have wondered the same thing. I finally decided, since it is close to dark, they maybe just made them run around the downtown area for a couple of route markes. Maybe just to get them used to opening them and reading them and maybe tire them out. They are going to need a good nights rest before Day 2....

They did that in TAR12, too, didn't they?

from wiki
The Roadblock for this leg of the Race required one team member to ride a high-wire bicycle across a wind swept ravine suspended almost 200 feet above the North Atlantic, while their partner, sitting eight feet below, was taken for the ride.
Additional tasks
Teams must pedal a tandem bike along a dirt path to their next clue upon reaching the farm. It is thought that this was a Detour choice; however, Ari and Staella confirmed in an interview that they never came across a Detour in the leg.
After completing the Roadblock, teams received instructions to choose a donkey and fill each of its baskets with 15 pieces of peat. Then, they had to walk the donkey back to the entrance of the farm to receive their next clue.

Time to arrange the teams in order?

Tammy/Victor and Mark/Michael fight it out at Cheesefield.
Luke/Margie did not finish at the bottom the previous day, from clip of them celebrating at Locarno.
Mike/Mel and Luke/Margie arrive at Interlaken together.
Mike/Mel and Tammy/Victor are seen together at Cheesefield.
Jennifer/Preston could not have finished high on the previous day (reference: Timelines).

Christie/Jodi, LaKisha/Jennifer, Cara/Jamie and Brad/Victoria arrive at Cheesefield together.
