AND WE ARE ON THE AIR!

Previously on TAR, 5 teams traveled to Halkidiki, Greece! Raquel got wrapped up at the Roadblock. Arun & Natalia were lost for words. X-U-P-C-H-L-U-K-I! At the second Roadblock, Penn flexed his powerful memory to give the married parents another 1st place under their belt. Meanwhile, costly mistakes led to a tearful goodbye for Lulu & Lala. 4 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?

All 4 teams are told they will be booking their rooms for the rest period via a Travelocity promotion app use.

Raquel & Cayla and Kim & Penn depart 1st at 9am. Teams must drive 30 miles to Theatro Dassous in Thessaloniki where stones are taking center stage.

Kim says there is little room for error while Raquel is stoked about going into this leg. Cayla feels they are learning from their mistakes. They hope to finally win a leg.

We return to Kim & Penn finding a map in the front seat. The map doesn't even have their current city on it. They are doing the "Best They Can" - The Holdernesses.

Group 2 of Ryan & Dusty and Arun & Natalia depart from the marina. Dusty realizes the lead is a tremendous advantage. He believes they are Greek gods and hope their energy can rub off on them this leg. Meanwhile, Natalia is impressed with Arun's strength and vigor. They are still in trouble navigating because of the lack of signs in the countryside.

Kim points out a sign and they are on the map route now. Meanwhile, Raquel and Cayla are lost.

Kim & Penn get to the theatre!

ROADBLOCK: Who will leave no stone unturned?
One team member must find a gold coin underneath a plethora of rocks to present to the oracle to receive their next clue.

They are mesmerized by the harpers and Kim is overwhelmed by the sea of 5,000 stones. "Only strategy is attacking one sections at a time." She creates landmarks to remember which stones were turned.

"This is like a spa, except it's a nightmare" - Kim.

Ryan & Dusty and Arun & Natalia are both making little progress with navigation. Natalia and Arun start fussing about which way to go. Raquel & Cayla are struggling to read Greek letters. The lost in translation feeling is very much real. Cayla doesn't know if they need to turn around. A truck starts honking from behind. "I'm so lost." - Raq

Frustrating, but kinda glad there are no extras. As mentioned, each found coin, makes the odds worse for the toher ones.

We come back to Raquel & Cayla in a little bit of a (traffic) jam. "This is not right. We need to go back north." - Raquel. They ask for directions and are actually super close to the location.

Kim is still searching and her back is hurting. Flight attendants come in for a landing at the theatre in 2nd.

"Welcome to hell." - Kim to Raquel

Raquel would imagine it would stick out.

Ryan & Dusty arrive at the RB in 3rd. Dusty does it.

Kim is methodically searching in another part of the rocks while Arun & Natalia arrive in last. Arun does the RB. He says this is where they can pick up some time. The other racers in his way forbid his strategy. Kim pleas for help from the oracle from afar. And Raquel goes pass the correct clue. Meanwhile, this isn't actually very obvious as Kim thinks.

Everyone frantic as Kim rests for a minute.

Arun said he should've prayed, but Kim said she also prayed. "This is the great equalizer."

Raquel says she meditates every morning and she says this task felt better from the good juju and energy.

Teams still struggling while Dusty is losing his patience. We get another of that classic mistake sound effect. It's not obvious. :funny:

All four racers in an hour can't find any of the four coins. Suddenly, Raquel finds the gold coin under a stone!

ROUTE INFO: Find Socrates at Trigonion Tower and listen to his words of wisdom to receive your next clue.

Kim is reassured the coins are there after seeing Raquel finding it.

Kim finds the coin right after in 2nd and hug it out before leaving to the Trig-onion Tower.

Arun: "Come on gold coin, where are you?!"
