Finally... we can see an additional task. not just roadblock, detour, and then the pit stop. i still can't believe that it was night leg, but the sky still bright :) can't wait for the next leg #doubleUturn
Kamineko:
1. LOVE both Detour tasks! Although I think "Hammer of the Cods" looks harder than the other one, because it has two parts of task that look tough, not like the other one that not really physical other than the transporting part.
2. Finally, a Ford-related task that doesn't show up its hi-tech feature.
3. Love the Pit-Stop location!
Anyway, I remember Phil mentioned the use of the Viking coins later on the race.. Had the teams use it? ???
PS: Zachary, you remind me to BuuYaa. :P

I loved it too! I was saying to myself during the fish head task that I would have been singing the Fish Heads song while I worked, so it was nice to see it at the end. Surprising, since it's a rather obscure song.
Great episode. Interesting tasks and an interesting location. A fair amount of drama, but it was drama is a good way - an annoying team messing up and getting panicky beyond what the situation calls for. I can't imagine Tim and Marie hanging on to their express pass for more than the next couple of episodes. Any time a task stumps them for 5 minutes, they are ready to pull out the express pass.
My one quibble is that the fish heads vs. the Hammer of the Cods (cute name) tasks were really imbalanced (or appeared to be). The fish heads looked much faster and I'm surprised they didn't all do that one. However, the editing may have made the other task look longer than it really was. Or it may have been the two weaker teams attempting it.
One other thing I observed: the midnight sun made it almost impossible to tell how far ahead the first teams were from the later teams based on the quality of the daylight. That might have been the most interesting thing about the leg. I'm sure that holding the leg in the middle of the night cut down on observations from the local people. I do recall we had a few sightings though. I'll bet TPTB were happy when the ferry arrival time set that up.

I LOVED THIS LEG SO MUCH!
1. BRANDON AND ADAM GET MORE AIR-TIME AND DOMINATE
2. ALLY AND ASHLEY GET MORE AIRTIME
3. ALLY AND ASHLEY DIDN'T GET HELP FROM AFGHANIMALS
4. NO MENTIONS OF "RACE WIVES/HUSBANDS"
5. TIM AND MARIE: I ACTUALLY LIKE THEM :crazy:
6. THE TASKS! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
7. MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IN THE DAY!
8. AFGHANIMALS NOT GETTING MUCH AIRTIME (not that I hate them, but we needed a break from them)
Chateau d If:
I loved the Detour name: The Hammer of the Cods :funny:
Nordic significance: Led Zeppelin-- The Immigrant Song
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
