And we are back on!!! :2hearts: :)x

Previously on TAR, 5 teams raced through beautiful Naples, Italy! Han & Holden got off to a shaky start and a series of mistakes kept Carson & Jack from climbing the ranks. Ana's pizza prowess helped her and Jon secure 1st. Meanwhile, Han & Holden were revealed a non-elimination. Coming up tonight, with elimination certain, the 5 teams now face off head to head.

Jon & Ana depart 1st at 11:51 A.M. Fly to Frankfurt, then take a train to Strasbourg, France!

Teams must travel to the Council of Europe to pick up the next clue, it will also reveal a Head-to-Head upcoming. Jon is taking it day by day. Ana is hoping to double-dip by buying plane tickets and train billets at the same time at the agency.

Brett & Mark and Alyssa & Josiah depart 2nd and 3rd. Alyssa wants to use the Express Pass as the last leg possible. Carson & Jack depart 4th excitedly. Han & Holden depart in last and are blessed. They call themselves "la cucarachas" and are fighting. Everyone is on the same accommodations. Mark and Han are each feeling hopeful.

Short intro and commercials.

We come back to teams squaring off at the infamous Frankfurt Airport to get onto the trains at the Hauptbahnhof. Everyone makes it on. Jack says the million dollars would change his life as he was recently laid off. Han's motto is imperfection and "good enough is good enough". Brett & Mark celebrate crossing to the French border. Josiah can smell the baguettes. :funny:

EVERYONE IS OFF RUNNING! They must find a marked car in the garage to drive to the Council.

Han & Holden and Brett & Mark navigate out into the city in the lead. Carson & Jack think it's a debate task. Jon & Ana want to not make any mistakes.

Han & Holden arrive at the Council and run to the other side only to find no markers at the box office/security. Jon & Ana see Han & Holden running away with Ana being confused. They find the hours of operation and find H&H back up the stairs at the HoH. Carson & Jack and Alyssa & Josiah reach the Council. Meanwhile, Vegas is completely lost...

Scramble for the clue between the first four teams! Domino effect of teams leading to Carson & Jack nudging into the lead. "Name the 4 countries you have raced in that are members of the Council of Europe". Jack answers correctly. Drive to Pont Couverts! Head-to-Head is next!

It's a boat jousting task! Head-to-head early in the leg and not at the end! :2hearts: Thank you! Han & Holden, Jon & Ana, and Alyssa & Josiah are now answering the question with Josiah completely stumped. He guesses Indonesia and UAE. :funny: Oh no.

Josiah finally answers Germany and Alyssa mentions not seeing Brett & Mark. Meanwhile, Brett thinks they can catch up from behind as they are actively misdirecting themselves.

Han & Holden ask a cafe patron where the bridge is. They are the first to arrive! ROADBLOCK: Who's ready to go head to head?
One team member must compete in water jousting. Knock your opponent into the canal to receive your next clue. Last team will have a 10-minute penalty before trying to catch up to the other teams.

Carson & Jack arrive with Carson doing the task. The DnD nerds are fanboying over jousting. They go on a tangent and then realize Han is a surfer girl. It's Han vs. Carson. "What do you like? Winning!" - Han.

Commercials.

Awesome, they didn't put it at the Pit Stop this time. Out of the several versions to do Head to Heads, US was the only one to do that.

It's more fun when there's another task after, to give the losing team a chance to survive.

We come back to our first Head-to-Head of the season! Jon & Ana arrive as 3rd place with Jon volunteering. Alyssa & Josiah follow in. "Express Pass cannot be used for this event." :groan: Then what's the point of the pass?

Brett & Mark ask a shopkeeper for directions to the Council.

The jousting demonstration commences with Han and Carson. We get a quick montage edit of their warrior poses from pre-casting. Jack knows Carson is strong so he hopes he can knock Han right off. Han understands the importance of stance.

And...


Carson makes a giant splash! Han & Holden leave in 1st. "Merci beaucoup!" ROUTE INFO: La Cloche A Fromage Cheese Shop!

It's now Jon vs. Carson. Jon is having a hard time balancing and explains the waves in the water are making it difficult.

Battle 2 and Carson managed to knock Jon into the water! :funny: "I was very disappointed. I wanted to knock him into the water so bad." - Jon. Carson & Jack leave in 2nd.

Brett & Mark arrive at the Council finally and Mark is listing the countries. They get their clue in last in time for the head-to-head as good news for them.

I'm curious what the fourth country is.

Han & Holden arrive at the cheese shop.

ROUTE INFO: Identify 9 cheeses and recite them to a fromagier at a nearby restaurant... didn't we do this task a couple seasons ago? Accidental Switchback. :-[

Holden is over-pronouncing the words. "That could kill a horse, man."- Holden over the strong cheese flavor. Han and Holden are finished and go for the attempt at utter confusion on first glance.

Brett & Mark arrive at the RB with Mark going for it. Meanwhile, Jon vs. Josiah! And... Jon knocks Josiah into the canal! Jon & Ana leave in 3rd. Josiah's loss is getting into his head.

Mark reaches the canal and Alyssa is worried sick with Brett right beside her. Brett is "up the river without a joust" since Vegas doesn't have an Express Pass to afford losing this.

Commercials.

We return from commercials to... Mark being defeated. Brett is in complete last now with Alyssa & Josiah heading out in 4th. Their 10 minute starts.

Carson & Jack arrive at the cheese shop. Jack's dream comes true with him "never meeting a cheese I didn't like". DnD is sampling as happy as can be while Han & Holden get the first two cheeses correctly, but fail the Brillant-Savarin. DnD answer incorrectly early as well.

Jon & Ana arrive at the cheese shop. Brett & Mark finish their 10 minutes are leave in last. Not exactly a detrimental in-task penalty.

Alyssa & Josiah arrive right behind with Carson & Jack narrating the situation. Alyssa is panicking and wants to use the Express Pass as they realize it is taking a long time.
