We'll be back on in about 2 hours from now! Less than half the teams are left, season went by really fast honestly.

Speaking of last week's episode, I ended up finding a Bulgarian cabernet sauvignon for the weekend called Rough Day. Tried it over the course of Easter and love it. Celebrating tonight with a pour of it next to dinner just before the updates begin.

Hoping for another stellar bulgaria leg

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #6 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:32:59 PM »

And we are back on!

Previously on TAR, 7 teams flew into Bulgaria for the first time! Carson & Jack got lost early and fell hours behind. A car parking mishap cost Jon & Ana valuable time. At a surprise double U-Turn, Mel & Erika secured their safety leaving no room for Nick & Mike. Alyssa & Josiah won the leg while Nick & Mike hopelessly searched through haystacks and gave leeway for DnD.

Coming up tonight, an Express Pass made of fire! Carson & Jack plan to stage a comeback.

Alyssa & Josiah 1st place 7:34 A.M. departure from the start. Drive to Sofia, Bulgaria and pick up the next clue at Lake Ariana OR the Express Pass. Teams must walk across coals to pick up the clue.

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #7 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:35:12 PM »

Alyssa & Josiah are up to their eyes in tuition debt and want to win the money to alleviate that. Josiah compares the race to winning a war.

Brett & Mark depart 2nd and go toward Lake Ariana instead of the EP. They ask a local and Brett think Aly & Josiah are going to do that first and want to just finish the leg.

Jon & Ana leave 3rd at 8:33 A.M. They deduce that they are going to the lake and foregone the EP because they are too far behind from Alyssa & Josiah. Jon reminds us again of their car stuck in a ditch.

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #8 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:36:26 PM »

Alyssa & Josiah find the location for the firewalking! Alyssa is beyond thrilled while Josiah is freaking out about the coals. "This is my biggest fear. I don't like to eat hot things. Hot chocolate is warm chocolate to me."

Short intro and commercials.

Still self-drive.

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #10 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:38:07 PM »

Updater's note: Not a fan of how early in the leg it is for the Express Pass grab. The trailing half of the teams never really had a chance to begin with.

It's like the weird placement for the FF a few wees ago.

That was disappointingly easy.

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #13 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:42:01 PM »

We return to-

The coals are raked and they watch a demonstration. Josiah immediately wants to go second while Alyssa isn't afraid. "If I burn my feet, I burn my feet." - Alyssa. She walks quickly across with no reaction while Josiah is pretending he is on the beach. They get the Pass and are off to the lake! "We're back in the race. We're now in 3rd place."

Han & Holden depart in 4th. Han wants to make up some time and work in harmony. They were separated for seven years and had a true bickering relationship.

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #14 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:44:07 PM »

Mel & Erika depart in 5th. Mel is driving and Erika feels they are starting to hit a groove. "Slow is fast, and we still don't want to be last." - Erika. She found out her mom is extremely competitive. "I'm going to do way better at directions today." - Erika.

Vegas gets to Sofia and find out they are first at the clue box. ROUTE INFO: Teams must pick up a Orthodox Christian cross from the lake and return it to the priest to receive their next clue.

Kinda silly. They were done before the other half of the teams departed.

elthemagnifico · « **Reply #16 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:46:16 PM »

This definitely the weaker set of EP tasks compared to s35

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:46:28 PM »

Mark tells Brett to get the cross as they join the performance circle and it wasn't hard at all. They get their clue from the priest just upstairs. ROUTE INFO: Russian Monument Square, find a Klek shop speakeasy. The clue states they can only take public transportation or go on foot. They choose to run!

Carson & Jack depart in last at 11:15 A.M. "It was giving ghost town." - Jack. They're motivated and deluded into being okay.

NumfarPTB · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:48:21 PM »

And Self drive portion was over that fast.....

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #19 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:48:43 PM »

Alyssa & Josiah arrive at the lake and rip open the clue. They are retrieving the cross now from the St. Jordan festivity circle and hand it to the priest. Josiah says the experience was so fun. Alyssa says they can take trolleys.

Jon & Ana arrive at the Jordan Day festival happy as can be and finish up.

Erika is steering Melinda in the wrong direction through Sofia. Han, meanwhile, is latching onto hope. Carson & Jack hope they see the light blue team. Back in Mel & Erika's car, Erika points out her mom has now drove off the region of their map and think navigation will take them out of the race.

Commercials.

elthemagnifico · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:53:58 PM »

I do like public transportation only restriction, gives teams the test of self navigation of commuting which always gives us good drama (see TAR 35 sweden)

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:56:45 PM »

We come back to Melinda & Erika asking directions from a local. Erika asks to see the woman's phone. "Not a fan of self-drive."- Erika.

Mark & Brett are heading toward the square and see a floral shop to ask where the klek shop is. They eventually see the race flag from the speakeasy shop. ROUTE INFO: St. Kliment Ohridski Central Library to pick up the next clue. Mark is deducing their lead ahead of Alyssa & Josiah. Meanwhile, they walk pass the klek shop.

RachelLeVega · « **Reply #23 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:58:51 PM »

Josiah jokes how this is exactly like a speakeasy, as my thinking.

They are running toward the library instead of using transport.

Jon & Ana also walk pass the shop and Ana stops directly in front of it. They go around in circles before locating the markings. They are also going to the library. Brett & Mark find the library and the clue box. ROUTE INFO: Use a cipher to translate Cyrillic to English from the pages of an ancient book.

NumfarPTB · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2025, 08:59:18 PM »

Do appreciate the choice of running or taking public transportation
