And here is our first night!!

Previously on TAR, 14 teams began a race around the world. Recap of twists and surprises seeing the return of classic game pieces and the introduction of new ones. There have been incredible comebacks and emotional eliminations - cue the chronological order! Now, it's down to the final four. In the first part, teams are traveling to Porto. More surprises await for them. The road will be the toughest.

Carson & Jack depart 1st at 1:52 A.M. Travel to Portugal! Teams will self-drive and take part in Valet Roulette, picking either a manual or automatic card depending on their luck. We get a flashback of Emily & Molly, Luis & Michele, and Natalia.

DnD are going to Voyages Mosaic (travel agency). They are feeling confident and Carson says it's make or break for tiny mistakes.

Alyssa & Josiah leave in 2nd at 2:07 A.M. Alyssa says this is the craziest feeling there is only two legs remaining. Josiah says they used to work separately and this race brought them closer. Carson & Jack are leaving on the 11:20 A.M. flight.

Jon & Ana depart in 3rd with Ana feeling anxiety.

[RachelLeVega]

Ana said they were too hard on themselves in the France leg and want to bring home the prize to their children. Han & Holden depart in last and explain being privy to the bottom of the pack. Han wants to prove they can work together and win in the end. Everyone is on the same flight.

Jack reads the details further about Valet Roulette. They are hoping automatic is in their pick. Alyssa & Josiah and Jon & Ana aren't pressured knowing both.

Everyone is boarding the 11:20 flight to Porto! COMPLETE intro (finally!) and commercials.

[RachelLeVega]

And we are back with establishing shots of Porto before the teams are met with the dreaded Valet board in the rental car garage. Jon & Ana ran pass the roulette board and Carson & Jack grab the first set of keys. ROUTE INFO: Drive to Granjao Villa Marine to pick up your next clue. Nobody knows what car they got.

Carson & Jack receive an automatic car while Jon & Ana get a manual. Ana is excited for the map.

Han & Holden pick up the car and it's a stick. Alyssa & Josiah got a manual.

And immediately, Carson makes a rookie mistake not reading the map after they leave the airport. Alyssa is hoping teams are going lost. Meanwhile, Ana is indeed lost.

[RachelLeVega]

Ana asks if she needs to turn around on the highway and Jon says nope. Jack says there is two types of panicking. They feel like every other team is cracking under pressure. Holden is hoping he and Han can stay disciplined and chill for this leg.

Carson & Jack reach the box first. ROUTE INFO: Teams must paddle across the river and roll two barrels uphill to a wine storage house to receive the next clue.

[RachelLeVega]

Jack and Carson are off with a rhythm down in the river while Ana & Jon are doing the scenic route with Jon leading them astray. Ana points out the kilometer number and Jon tells Ana to not be annoying. Han & Holden don't know if they are going the right direction either. Han asks if he needs to take a breath and he instead jumps out the car to ask a local at a bus stand. "We have to go up and turn left." Han turns the wrong direction and cars are honking in the background! "Stop panicking!" - as his panicked self says.

Commercials.

[RachelLeVega]

We come back to Holden panicking telling Han to stop panicking. "Bro." - Han.

Alyssa is impressed by the terraces of vineyards. She is feeling confident about her and Josiah's navigation. Jon says Ana should go left with her asking for clearer directions. "This is not 824." - Ana. The roundabout has them in a frenzy.

Carson & Jack reach the other side of the river. "Choose two wine barrels with matching labels." Jack starts to roll in the lead ahead of Carson. Han & Holden reach the river clue box. "This is physicality, we got this." - Holden.

[RachelLeVega]

Carson mentions the cobblestone road up the hill is so much longer than he realized. "You had to put your back into that thang." - Jack. They are struggling badly with Jack "having his own strengths". Carson is bleeding and they switch barrels.

Han & Holden have a rhythm down in the river pushing them off course a little. "You need to help me turn. You are literally pushing us." - Holden.

[RachelLeVega]

Carson & Jack reach the storage house with both barrels. ROUTE INFO: Castelo de Santa Maria de Feira.
Han & Holden reach the barrel pick-up station as DnD run downhill pass them.

[RachelLeVega]

Alyssa & Josiah pick up at the clue box in 3rd. Meanwhile, Jon & Ana are misleading each other to the same roundabout from earlier. Ana doesn't understand what "the other way" means with Jon. Ana suggests they switch roles, but Jon refuses. The nurses are rowing toward the vineyards while Carson & Jack are on their way back. Alyssa mentions of a previous time whitewater rafting that she tended to overcorrect and make the boat start to drift off course. They are dysfunctional and fighting now!

Phil casting clip and commercials.

[RachelLeVega]

And we are back from ads to Alyssa and Josiah having an explosive fight up the river. "I feel like we're overcorrecting." - Alyssa as she jumps to the back of the raft to balance themselves. Carson & Jack are back at the parking. "That was tough. That was really, really tough." - Jack.

Han is struggling while Holden wants her to give it her all. Holden was not about to push her barrel up including his. They finally reach the delivery point and receive their clue in 2nd.

[RachelLeVega]

Alyssa & Josiah are pushing the barrels up as Han & Holden speed down passing them. Jon & Ana are stopping in the middle of the road with them murmuring an argument among themselves. Ana wants to see the map as Jon finally decides they want to switch roles with him navigating. "Is this all the information we have?" - Ana. Jon mentions it was all that was given.

Josiah reaches the top as Alyssa is a straggler with the barrel. He helps her and they receive the clue. Jon & Ana are still lost as Josiah feels they are okay. Alyssa is red as a tomato from exhaustion.

Ana asks a local on the side of the street for directions. "Obrigado, thank you so much." - Ana.

[RachelLeVega]

Alyssa & Josiah say this will be a really long drive. Jon & Ana reach the river clue box as they tiff. "Water, are you serious? What a nightmare." - Jon. They start rowing and are making a 180 degree turn in water. Ana and Jon aren't having any fun as Jon keeps nagging behind her.

Commercials.

[elthemagnifico]

jo & anna is so flo and zach but reverse 

[RachelLeVega]

We come back to Jon & Ana up a river without a paddle as they reach the barrels in last place. Jon is taking his damn time piecing back together the wet clue envelope.

Carson & Jack say Happy Pride for Lisbon. Han & Holden realize they have a lead from Alyssa & Josiah and call them Terminators. The Terminators are locked in and focused in their own car. Han is driving into the big city and can't find the castle. They ask for directions from a seemingly couple as we get establishing shots of the castle.

Carson & Jack pull up to the castle and believe they might be doing archery. Clue box! ROADBLOCK: Who's got a steady hand?
One team member must suit up in medieval armor and climb to the top of the castle. They have 7 tries to hit three bullseye while on a mounted steed.

Carson is doing the task and he is absolutely freaking out over everything they talked about with his DnD friends back home absolutely going to be living through him. Alyssa & Josiah pop out of nowhere to the castle in 2nd and Alyssa is doing the task.

Jon & Ana are switching their barrels because Ana is exhausted. Meanwhile, Carson is climbing with the knight armor. He said his muscles were going to wear out.

[Maanca]

This is the dream task for Carson & Jack, lol. Not surprised they'd freak out.

[RachelLeVega]

Carson is getting practice shots in as Jon & Ana get their barrel clue and run down the hillsides. Han & Holden reach the Roadblock in 3rd and Holden does the task. Alyssa is still putting on the first layer of armor. Carson is ready for his shots and he gets his smallest one first. He gets his second and third one on his first attempt! He gets knighted with Jack jumping up and down for him in the background. Carson said this was his best moment from the race.

ROUTE INFO: Take a train to Sao Bento Porto Train Station and look for a man in the lobby to receive the next clue.

[RachelLeVega]

Alyssa reaches the top of the castle with Josiah saying she is his knight in shining armor. Jon & Ana finally reach their car and are off to the castle.

Alyssa is already done with practicing and is going for her shots. She is missing everything. "Is that Tyrion Lannister?" - Han with Holden coming out from the ramp.

Alyssa continues to struggle with the targets as she gets her first hit. She cannot make the connection and must start again. Josiah motivates her as she is completely distraught.

Ana says her daughter gave her a tiny fortune to take with her on the race saying "It's not over until Phil says it's over." Cute.

[RachelLeVega]

Holden is also struggling for the three targets on his first attempt. "Like a Mongol." - Holden as things begin to click for him. Alyssa is steadily improving as she finally gets the three targets within the first half of her arrows. She is knighted in Portugal and leaves in 2nd.

Holden points out his instructor Andre said the instructors shot the arrows straight and it got the work for him done. "I do it for my people." - Holden. They leave in 3rd with the train station clue.

[RachelLeVega]

Jack is trying to get back to the station with his memory of directions. Meanwhile, Holden is still amazed by the archery as Han is navigating urgently. Jon & Ana reach the Roadblock and Jon does the task. "Sorry, I broke your castle right there." - title quote worthy. Jon couldn't seem to be happy that he would eventually get eliminated being this far behind. Ana is standing strong in the background and hopes he has a blast.

Jack and Carson are lost and say teams may catch up. Alyssa & Josiah still driving with some progress made. Han & Holden aren't on track.

Jon is taking his shots and keeps missing the one in the middle.

[RachelLeVega]

Carson & Jack reach the station and see the Sao Bento train is leaving in 9 MINUTES! Han & Holden reach the station now.

DnD are going to the correct track while Han & Holden is SPRINTING to the train car. Jack & Carson realize nobody is going to be in their car until Holden shows up like the boogeyman to open the cabin door.

Alyssa & Josiah are still driving until they are suddenly rear ended from behind.

Commercials.

[RachelLeVega]

We return to the scene of the accident where there is no damage. That's pretty lucky considering these circumstances. DnD and H&H are celebrating their lead as they realize Jon & Ana are M.I.A.

Jon hits all three targets and his knighted un-enthusiastically. They are off in last.

Alyssa & Josiah are almost at the train station, but didn't see a marked/designated parking so they have to turn all the way back around. Jon & Ana ask cafe patrons for directions. They are over the driving while Alyssa & Josiah can't predict the trains.

We get a Phil clip of him showing off the azulejo tiles around town and in the station. DnD and Han & Holden get their clue from the tile vendor. "Ode Porto Wine House".
