Amazing Race Season 24, Episode 8, "Donkeylicious"
Film date: 29/11 2013

The last pit stop was at Piazza del Popolo, but teams are released in front of the Da Vinci hotel (700m away) in the following order:

1.Brendon & Rachel      07:482.Caroline & Jennifer   08:26(+0:38)3.Dave & Connor         08:27(+0:39)4.Jet & Cord            08:40(+0:52)5.Leo & Jamal           09:38(+1:50)6.Flight Time & Big Easy09:39(+1:51)
Route info: "Drive yourself to Civita Di Bagnoregio. Caution: U-turn ahead". Once teams arrive they must search for their next clue.

 "We want to U-turn the cowboys", Brendon & Rachel have plans for the U-turn

Caroline & Jennifer duck into the hotel and ask them to print two sets of directions, and give one of them to Dave & Connor. The girls want to follow Dave & Connor.
 "We're not the best at directions", Jennifer know their limitations

Dave & Connor have no problems with this plan and do their best to lead the girls to the next route marker. But eventually there is a truck between them and the girls miss a turn.
 "I just didn't think they'd ditch us so soon", Caroline think Dave & Connor intentionally lost them
 "I'll slow down so they can catch up", Meanwhile Dave hope they are just behind

 "We hate the U-turn board. That's the thing that's scaring Leo and I", Jamal
 "We really don't know where we are headed", Flight Time have a hard time finding the right road

Teams arrive at Civita Di Ganforegio (126km 1:39) and find the next clue box, which is placed on the walkway into town and hard to miss, in the following order:
 1(+0) Brendon & Rachel
 2(+1) Dave & Connor
 3(+1) Jet & Cord, drive past team #1 as they are leaving
 4(+1) Leo & Jamal
 5(-3) Caroline & Jennifer
 6(+0) Flight Time & Big Easy, as teams #3 and #4 are leaving

Detour: Donkey run and Donkey build

In Donkey run teams must ride two donkeys, without a saddle, in a local donkey race. They must complete three laps before the band stops playing. Teams are allowed to switch donkeys if they want to.

In Donkey build teams must head to a wood-shop and assemble a wooden donkey. There is no sample to look at and they must use all the parts provided. The tricky part is that they must also use the box which the parts come in. Once approved it will be loaded with wood and teams must deliver it to Geppetto to receive their next clue.

Brendon & Rachel want to build a donkey but when they run into the racecourse they decide to switch. But riding donkeys are hard, they both fall off on their first attempt, just as Dave & Connor arrive. Dave asks Brendon where to pick up the helmets but don't get a reply.

 "These guys are fast, we can tell. We looked for the ones that pooped", Brendon on how they selected their donkeys

Jet & Cord are still carrying their express pass, and this is the last leg where they can use it. Since they expect to be U-turned they play it on the detour. They give it to Geppetto of the donkey build side.
 "So, if we're U-turned, we'll do the other side", Jet & Cord play their strengths

Dave & Connor do the donkey build together with Leo & Jamal and both teams help each other as much as they can. While they are building Caroline & Jennifer turn up and all three teams start to cooperate. They quickly get their donkeys assembled but are not approved since they have missed the box. While they are trying to figure this out Leo & Jamal realize that they are wasting time so they leave for the other detour.
 "If we go and do the other thing, will you tell us what it was?", Jamal

Eventually Dave & Connor read the clue carefully and realize they need to put the box on as well, and they are approved. As they pass the racecourse they tell Leo & Jamal as well. Dave & Connor also make sure to go back and help Caroline & Jennifer with their donkey.

 "Man, I wish we got time to enjoy this", Jamal like the view from the bridge into town

Flight Time & Big Easy start the donkey run detour. But the poor donkey carrying Big Easy refuses to move. So they switch to donkey build. They quickly put most of the donkey together but get stuck on the box. After trying various positions of the donkey, and trying to charm the judge, they abandon this task and go back for the donkey race. This time they get good donkeys and manage to complete the race.
 "Looks pretty Donkeylicious to me", Flight Time gets the title while looking at their wooden donkey

Teams complete the detour in the following order:
 1(+0) Brendon & Rachel, donkey run on their 2nd attempt
 2(+1) Jet & Cord, used the express pass
 3(-1) Dave & Connor, donkey run, on their 4th attempt
 3(+0) Dave & Connor, donkey build
 4(+1) Caroline & Jennifer, donkey build
 5(-1) Leo & Jamal, donkey run on their 2nd attempt
 5(+0) Leo & Jamal, donkey build
 6(+0) Flight Time & Big Easy, donkey run

Route info: "Make your way on foot to Hostaria del Ponte and search for your next clue". This is a restaurant at the foot of the footbridge leading into town. Here teams encounter a double U-turn board.

Jet & Cord leave the detour just before Dave & Connor, but they have to stop and ask for directions to the restaurant, which they are standing just in front of it, his lets Dave & Connor reach the U-turn board just before Jet & Cord. So while Dave & Connor deliberate Jet & Cord stand just behind them.

Teams reach the U-turn sign in the following order:
 1(+0) Brendon & Rachel, U-turns Dave & Connor
 2(+1) Dave & Connor, U-turns Leo & Jamal
 3(-1) Jet & Cord, just after #2
 3(+0) Dave & Connor, after their U-turn
 4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer
 5(+0) Leo & Jamal, have already done both detours
 6(+0) Flight Time & Big Easy

Brendon & Rachel discuss a bit who to U-turn. Originally they planned to U-turn Jet & Cord but Brendon decide to go for Dave & Connor since they are right behind them. In this case Brendon & Rachel focus on winning this leg.
 "If we'd been out of there quicker I'd U-turned the Cowboys", Brendon

 "Brendon and Rachel, those snakes", Dave upon encountering their U-turn board
 "Come on, they U-turned a 60-year old man", Dave is really upset

 "How did we slide by that?", Jet & Cord are surprised they weren't U-turned

As Dave & Connor come down from the U-turn board the meet Leo & Jamal who have just arrived:
 "I'm warning you, we had to U-turn you", David tells Leo & Jamal that they just U-turned them

The clue tells teams to drive themselves to La Badia di Orvieto where they will find their next clue.

Teams arrive (15km 0:21) in the following order:
 1(+0) Brendon & Rachel
 2(+0) Jet & Cord
 3(+0) Dave & Connor
 4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer, before #1 has left
 5(+0) Leo & Jamal, before #2 has left
 6(+0) Flight Time & Big Easy, after all other teams have left

The clue envelope here contains a road block: "Who's got the write stuff"

In this road block contestants must copy a page of an ancient manuscript. The elaborate paintings on the page are pre-printed, but they must do three lines of text written in a ornate style. And this while using a quill. They must also gild a big letter D.

 "I believe in you. You, me and god, we're unstoppable", Brendon gets religious in this church
 "This is a task which is very well suited to my talents", Rachel

 "I'm sorry Dave", Brendon tries to apologize for the U-turn
 "You're not sorry at all", But Dave is not accepting the apology

 "I do not have artistic skills", Dave doesn't want to do this roadblock
 "I don't either", but neither do Connor

While Jet is doing the task Cord lends their hats to the monks and the monks play around a bit with them.

 "This is tough. This is a super hard roadblock", Connor is struggling

 "My mom used to make me copy random books when I was a kid", Leo feels good about this task

 "I'm gonna take the penalty", Connor is ready to give up
 "No son", But Dave refuses

When Leo & Jamal are done Leo goes back to check if Connor need help. But he doesn't since he is almost done. Leo & Jamal wait around until Connor is approved and then they leave together.

Teams complete this road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock)
1(+0)Brendon & Rachel*      (4-4)2(+0)Jet* & Cord            (4-4)3(+1)Caroline* & Jennifer   (4-4)4(+1)Leo* & Jamal           (4-4)5(-2)Dave & Connor*         (4-4)6(+0)Flight Time* & Big Easy(5-3)
Teams will now drive themselves to the town Orvieto (4km 0:10) and ride the funicular to the town center. They they'll make their way, on foot, to Piazza Del Duomo. This is where the pit stop is. At least this is what the episode says. The press pictures shown an additional route marker in Orvieto where teams had to visit a deep well to find their next clue. This task has been edited out.

Dave & Connor are driving just in front of Leo & Jamal, but they make one bad turn when they go directly for the town center while Leo & Jamal go for the funicular. While looking for the way Dave & Connor encounter Caroline & Jennifer.

Teams reach Phil and the mat in the following order:
 1(+0) Brendon & Rachel, win $7.500 each
 2(+0) Jet & Cord
 3(+1) Leo & Jamal
 4(+1) Dave & Connor
 5(-2) Caroline & Jennifer
 6(+0) Flight Time & Big Easy, are eliminated

Flight Time & Big Easy arrive at the pit stop long after the other teams. In fact it is pitch black once they arrive.

 "It just wasn't our day, it wasn't our time. But we had a good time.", Big Easy

Amazing Race Season 24, Episode 9, "Accidental alliance"
Film date: 30/11-1/12 2013

The last pit stop was at Piazza Del Duomo in Orvieto. This is also where teams are released the next morning in the following order:

1.Brendon & Rachel      06:132.Jet & Cord            07:23(+1:10)3.Leo & Jamal           07:34(+1:21)4.Dave & Connor         07:44(+1:31)5.Caroline & Jennifer   07:45(+1:32)
Route info: "Make your way to Altdorf, Switzerland". Teams must now drive back to Rome and catch a train to Chiasso, Switzerland. Once there they must pick up a sponsor car and drive to Altdorf and wait for Wilhelm Tell to deliver their next clue.

 "I hope they don't take it personally", Rachel about them U-turning Dave & Connor in the last leg

Unfortunately Rachel is very wrong. Dave & Connor did take it personally, and they have enlisted Leo & Jamal and Caroline & Jennifer into their club. So these teams spend a good part of this episode bad-mouthing Brendon & Rachel. So much in fact that I'm surprised that they even remembered racing. I will skip most of it in this report though, because frankly it is just depressing.

Teams drive themselves to Rome (121km 1:21) and take two different trains to Chiasso. Jet & Cord have a hard time finding the way so they miss the first train and have to take another about an hour later.

From Chiasso teams drive to Altdorf (154km 1:44). By the time they get there it is dark so we can all smell an hours of operation. There is also an event going on with a big procession of kids carrying lanterns walking down the street. Teams find the Wilhelm Tell status in the following order:
 1. Dave & Connor
 2. Leo & Jamal
 3. Caroline & Jennifer
 4. Brendon & Rachel
 5. Jet & Cord, at 00:34

At the foot of the statue is a small sign: "At sunrise wait for Wilhelm Tell".

 "Hey guys, do you know what we are calling ourselves? 'The accidental alliance'", Caroline gets the title

The next morning at 06:45 all teams wait around the statue when "Wilhelm Tell" and his "son" appears. Unexpectedly the delivery of clues is a smooth affair with no showing or opportunistic grabbing of clues.

Route info: "Drive yourself to Lucern and search for your next clue on the oldest wooden bridge in Europe". Teams must now go to Lucern and figure out that they need to go to the Chapel Bridge.

Everybody is driving together with Brendon & Rachel in the lead. The latter try to mess with the others by making a wrong turn. But Leo & Jamal behind them know where they are going so they just keep going. So all Brendon & Rachel made was giving up their lead.

Once in Lucern (42km 0:34) teams find the clue on Chapel Bridge in the following order:
 1. Leo & Jamal
 2. Dave & Connor
 3. Caroline & Jennifer
 4. Jet & Cord, very close to #1
 5. Brendon & Rachel, went to Spreuer Bridge first

Route info: "Make your way to Schweizerhof Hotel and clean up a room that's been trashed by a hard partying rock band". Teams arrive at the hotel (300m) in the following order (the first four teams arrive together):
 1(+1) Dave & Connor, room 128
 2(-1) Leo & Jamal, room 4
 3(+0) Caroline & Jennifer, room 6 or 7
 4(+0) Jet & Cord, room 123
 5(+0) Brendon & Rachel, room 5

The rooms are very messy and teams need to clean them up. There is a sample they can go look at (room 148). That is needed because Helga, the judge, is very demanding and expects everything to be exactly as it should be. Including details as that the reading lights should be bent in a certain direction.
 "We've been with plenty of rock stars so we know what this will look like", Caroline & Jenifer have experience

But before they can commence cleaning teams must dress up in proper uniforms.
 "You don't have black shoes", Helga wants to flunk the teams before they even start

 "We really thought we would get this pretty quick", Dave underestimated the task
 "I'm really hoping that my wife doesn't see this", Jet doesn't want to be seen cleaning

 "Sorry, but there are mistakes", Helga
 "Closer", Helga gives a small hint

Teams complete this challenge in the following order:
 1(+3) Jet & Cord
 2(+0) Leo & Jamal, a minute or two after #1
 3(-2) Dave & Connor, just after #2
 4(-1) Caroline & Jennifer
 5(+0) Brendon & Rachel

Route info: "Drive yourself to the Verkershaus der Schweiz and look for the marked artifact outside. Answer the question to receive your next clue".

Teams must now drive themselves to the Swiss museum of transport (2km 0:04). In front of it is a marked artifacts. Next to it stands a man who simply asks what it is. The correct answer is that it is a tunnel drill bit.

 "It's a wheel. A carburetor?. A train?", Rachel makes some random guesses

Teams get this clue in the following order:
 1(+0) Jet & Cord, knew the answer right away
 2(+1) Dave & Connor, knew the answer right away
 3(-1) Leo & Jamal, asked Dave
 4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer, got the answer from Dave
 5(+0) Brendon & Rachel, had to ask the locals

Route info: "Search the museum for the Ford Mustangs in it". In the museum Yard teams will find five old classic Ford Mustangs. Each of them carry a clue. In it teams are each given a mathematical formula which looks like: "Payerne __km - Chur __km". They must use this to calculate the model year of their mustang. They get the distances from the road signs covering the building behind the cars. The only tricky part is that a lot of the requested distances are on signs which are on the back of the building.

The only teams struggling with this is Caroline & Jennifer, but Leo tells them exactly what they need to do.

Teams figure this out in the following order:
 1(+0) Jet & Cord
 2(+0) Dave & Connor
 3(+0) Leo & Jamal
 4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer
 5(+0) Brendon & Rachel

At this point teams are only a few minutes apart. They find the next clue inside the car.

Route info: "Drive yourselves to Oberrickenbach and search for the milk tanker". Unfortunately teams do not get to drive these classic cars but must continue to use the boring ones they have used so far in the race.

Teams arrive in Oberrickenbach (29km 0:34) in the following order:
 1(+0) Jet & Cord
 2(+0) Dave & Connor, virtually together with #1
 3(+0) Leo & Jamal
 4(+1) Brendon & Rachel
 5(-1) Caroline & Jennifer, seconds after #3

Road block: "Make a milk pickup, Swiss style"

In this task teams will have to fetch some milk. First they get to choose a farm dog with a cart. Then walk with this dog to one of two gondolas, ride the gondola to the top while bringing two empty milk containers along. At the top they have to walk a bit to a dairy farm where they exchange the empty milk containers for full ones. Take these back to the gondola and ride down. Once down they can load the containers on the cart and deliver them to the milk tank where the task started.

 "I'm really glad my dad didn't do this challenge. You have to run up this hill", Connor
 "I have never wiped out that hard in my entire life', Caroline falls on a patch of ice
 "Holy crap, they're heavy", Connor realize he have to carry the milk back to the gondola

At the the end of this task we get a dog race between Cord and Connor.
 "That was when I was glad I picked a big stout dog", Cord as his dog pulls ahead

 "That was hard, I don't think Caroline is gonna get it", Leo
And Leo is right insofar that Caroline is struggling with the heavy milk containers. she finishes the task but seem to take a fair bit longer than the others.

 "Now a dog will put you in a good mood, no matter what's happened in your day", Caroline when she finally got her milk down from the mountain

Teams complete this road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock)
1(+0)Jet & Cord*            (4-5)2(+0)Dave & Connor*         (4-5)Seconds after #13(+0)Leo* & Jamal           (5-4)4(+0)Brendon* & Rachel      (5-4)5(+0)Caroline* & Jennifer   (5-4)
Route info: "Drive yourselves to Engelberg". Teams must now drive themselves to Engelberg (19km 0:25) and ride the gondolas to the top of mount Titlis at 10.000' where the pit stop is.

Dave & Connor arrive first at the gondola. Dave tries to save some time by jumping over one of the railings, and falls flat on his back. Fortunately for him the only thing he seems to hurt is his dignity. At this point they are 1-2 minutes ahead of Jet & Cord.

Unfortunately for Dave & Connor the gondola they are on only take them part of the way. Eventually they have to wait for the big gondola to the top. While they wait for this Jet & Cord show up (at 13:15), and then also Leo & Jamal. Dave & Connor do not look happy when Jet & Cord turn up. All three teams realize there will be a footrace to find Phil.

 "We just flew in here on our magic carpet", Jamal when they arrive just before the gondola departs

 "We're not gonna win this footrace", Connor thinks his dad is slow
 "Oh, I don't know", Cord is not so sure

 "We could out-sprint both of them", Leo has confidence

Once the gondola reaches the top there is footrace. But nobody knows where Phil is. Jet & Cord and Leo & Jamal head for the nearest exit to outside while Dave & Connor head for the elevator to the top.

Phil turns out to be at the top and teams reach him in the following order:
 1(+1) Dave & Connor, win a new car each
 2(-1) Jet & Cord, less than a minute later
 3(+0) Leo & Jamal, a few seconds later
 4(+0) Brendon & Rachel
 5(+0) Caroline & Jennifer, are saved by a non-elimination

 "This is too much luck for us not to win", Jennifer

Amazing Race Season 24, Episode 10, "Bull down"
Film date: 2-3/12 2013

The last pit stop was at the top of mount Titlis. Unsurprisingly teams aren't released from there but instead at the foot of the mountain. They are released in the following order:

1.Dave & Connor         14:352.Jet & Cord            14:37(+0:02)3.Leo & Jamal           14:38(+0:03)4.Brendon & Rachel      14:42(+0:07)5.Caroline & Jennifer   14:58(+0:23)
Teams must now fly to Seville, Spain. Once they arrive they must make their way to the Alameda where they will find their next clue between Hercules and Caesar. Teams also learn that there is a U-turn ahead.

The first task is however to get rid of the ice on the windscreen of their cars so they can drive to Zürich.

 "The U-turn was not very smart and kind of inappropriate", Dave thinks he should be excepted from the U-turn?
 "We're in Switzerland and in the spirit of neutrality, we're staying out of it", Jet wants to stay out of the U-turn drama

Most teams drive directly to the Zürich airport (101km 1:15). Brendon & Rachel stop at a travel agency and Jet & Cord miss the airport exit. This may be the reason they didn't make the first flight.

The first flight via Valencia is:
  LX2146 ZRH-VLC 17:04 - 18:50 (scheduled 17:05 - 19:05)
  YW8844VLC-SVQ 20:28 - 21:28 (scheduled 20:25 - 21:25)
This carries:
 Dave & Connor
 Leo & Jamal

The second flight involves an overnight stay in Barcelona and is:
  VY6249 ZRH-BCN 19:03   - 20:39 (scheduled 19:05 - 20:50)
  VY2210 BCN-SVQ 07:18+1 - 08:47+1 (scheduled 07:10+1 - 08:45+1)
This carries:
 Jet & Cord
 Caroline & Jennifer
 Brendon & Rachel

Once in Seville teams jump into taxis and make their way to the Alameda (12km 0:13). The first two teams arrive there in the evening and we are not surprised when they find a sign on the ground which reads "Your clue will arrive at 8:30am".

The next morning they find a trumpeter here who plays a fanfare and hands out the clues. Teams receive them in the following order:
 1. Dave & Connor, at 08:30
 2. Leo & Jamal, a second after #1
 3. Caroline & Jennifer
 4. Brendon & Rachel, a minute or so after #3
 5. Jet & Cord, not long after #4, around 09:30

Route info: "Make your way to Malado Peluqueros". This turns out to be a barber shop at the other end of the park (500m). Teams arrive here in the following order:
 1(+0) Dave & Connor
 2(+0) Leo & Jamal, still just behind #1
 3(+0) Caroline & Jennifer
 4(+1) Jet & Cord, about a minuter after #3
 5(-1) Brendon & Rachel, about a minute after #4

Road block: "Who wants to be the Barber of Seville?" In this road block contestants must shave a balloon with an old fashioned straight edged razor. The balloon is almost completely covered in shaving cream. They have to complete the task in 60 seconds. Production has also hired an opera signer who sings arias from the Barber of Seville in the salon. The judge will pop the balloon when the time is up, which surprises the contestants.

We get to see lots of shots on popping balloons, but eventually all teams complete the task.

Teams complete this road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock)
1(+0)Dave & Connor*         (4-6)2(+0)Leo & Jamal*           (5-5)3(+2)Brendon & Rachel*      (5-5)4(-1)Caroline & Jennifer*   (5-5)5(-1)Jet* & Cord            (5-5)
Route info: search for your next clue at the Patio de Banderas in the Real Alcázar.

It is outside Real Alcázar (1.5km) that Caroline & Jennifer encounter their speed bump. They simply have to deliver six sides of Spanish ham to Cafe-bar Las Teresas (400m).

The other teams can go directly to the clue and find it in the following order:
 1(+0) Dave & Connor
 2(+0) Leo & Jamal
 3(+0) Brendon & Rachel
 4(+1) Jet & Cord, had a hard time finding it
 5(-1) Caroline & Jennifer, meet Jet & Cord when they enter the building


--- Quote ---DETOUR

Detour: "Spanish Steps" or
"Running with the Ballz"

Spanish Steps: Dance a
Flamenco routine with the
most prestigious
Flamenco company in Seville.

Running with the Ballz:
Dressed as a bull, run the
narrow streets of Seville,
and look for the
bullfighter's quotation on
the way. Watch out for
the other bulls!

Caution: U-Turn Ahead!

--- End quote ---

In Spanish steps teams must dress up and then learn a Flamenco routine. They must then perform to the satisfaction of a judge. This detour takes place at the Museo del Baile Flamenco (650m).

In running with the ballz teams must put on a big plastic ball which has a stylized bull drawn on it. Their upper body is totally encased in the ball. They must then follow a marked path through the alleys. This will pass though three squares and each feature a matador poster with a part of a motto ("A Matador", "never thinks about", "his own death"). The squares also contains other "ballz" whose sole purpose is to knock the teams over. They do so with gusto. In fact this is one of the most violent challenges I have ever seen on the race.

 "These bubble boys were no joke", Leo
 "These streets are barely wide enough for us to fit in them. So we think that's the challenge, up until we get to the bulls", Brendon soon learns what the real challenge was
 "I'm just a girl, you're not to hit me so hard", Rachel wants special considerations
 "Old, I'm old", Dave also thinks he warrants special treatment
 "Bull down, bull down", Jamal gets the title
 "Brendon, these guys are bullying me. Save me", Rachel lapses into helplessness
 "You don't have balls, bulls", Brendon (in Spanish) to the other bulls

Jamal twist his knee during the bull task and he barely limps along for the rest of the leg. the next episode will show how serious this really is. It looks bad from the footage in this episode. Fortunately for them this happens right by the end of the detour so they are able to finish the task.
 "I can't feel my kneecap, it's getting worse", Jamal

Jet & Cord have trouble with the ballz task. They miss the clue in the first square, so they have to go back. This takes a long time.

Teams complete the detour in the following order:
 1(+0) Dave & Connor, ballz
 2(+0) Leo & Jamal, ballz
 3(+0) Brendon & Rachel, ballz
 4(+0) Jet & Cord, ballz
 5(+0) Caroline & Jennifer, steps
 5(-1) Jet & Cord, steps

Route info: "Search on foot outside the general archives of the Indies which houses the principal documents of Spanish exploration". Teams must now make their way to the archives. Here the will find a double U-turn board. Teams reach it in the following order:
 1(+0) Dave & Connor
 2(+0) Leo & Jamal, U-turns Jet & Cord
 3(+0) Brendon & Rachel
 4(+1) Caroline & Jennifer, U-turns Brendon & Rachel
 5(-1) Jet & Cord

 "We are not going to use the U-turn because we can't. I wish we could", Connor wants to U-turn
 "The strongest team in this race is still the Cowboys", Jamal on why they U-turn
 "They did the smart thing, not the popular thing', Rachel is happy to not be U-turned
 "Sorry Brenchel, it's nothing personal", Caroline lives in denial
 "Those two dirty suckers", Jet get emotional when he see that Leo & Jamal have U-turned them

From the press pictures we know that teams from here had to ride a horse-drawn carriage to Plaza de America (1/8km). This has been edited out and instead we get to see the next clue.


--- Quote ---ROUTE INFO

Make your way on foot to
your next Pit Stop, the
Plaza de España!

Warning, the last team to
check in may be
eliminated!

--- End quote ---

Teams now has to go from Plaza de America to the pit stop (500m). Here they find Phil and the greeter, who in this leg is a woman with a magnificent horse. Teams check in with Phil in the following order:
 1(+0) Dave & Connor, win a trip to St Croix
 2(+1) Brendon & Rachel
 3(-1) Leo & Jamal
 4(+0) Caroline & Jennifer
 5(+0) Jet & Cord, are eliminated

 "Can I ride your horse", Cord lends the greeter's horse a bit

Alenaveda:
Maf, one correctiion. The distance between Plaza América and Plaza de España is only 500 meters. The 1.1 km distance is between the U-Turn location and the Plaza Amérca.  ;)

If you say so. I used Google and it gave me the figure of 1.1km. But I'll change it to 500m and assume you have better knowledge  :)
