AND WE ARE LIVE! :cheer:

Previously on TAR, eight teams traveled Asuncion, Paraguay to France! Kaylynn & Haley got off to another slow start while Will & James got help from Leo. In Chantilly, the volleyballers looked out for their alliance (wastefully) and won the leg. Michelle & Vic were lost in Paris and came up short. Seven teams remain, who will be eliminated next?!

Volleyballers depart at 12:25 AM. Travel by train to Berlin, Germany! Upon arrival, they must travel to East Side Gallery in a symbolic suitcase. They believe the train will equalize them. Hung & Chee depart a few minutes after them in 2nd. They are talking about the "Mine Five Alliance" involving Eswar & Aparna and the "Core". Leo & Alana depart in 3rd and Will & James depart in 4th. Will talks about his fear of driving again.

De & Gary depart in 5th. They also discuss the alliance.

Eswar & Aparna depart in 6th at 2:25 AM and talk about UC-Berkeley and comparing it to the race. ??? James is anticipating which FF team is staying in the race. Kaylynn & Haley depart in last to the train station. They talk about depending on themselves and each other.

All the teams are shocked to find out Kaylynn & Haley survived the leg, especially Hung & Chee.

We come back from the commercial break to teams arriving in Berlin! All teams in a mad dash to taxis outside the train station! Kaylynn & Haley struggle finding a taxi while volleyballers, Hung & Chee, Leo & Alana, De & Gary, and Eswar & Aparna are making their way. Kaylynn & Haley's taxi driver tells them to take it slow. :funny: "Why you don't run faster. You don't look fat." :lol:

Chee confuses the Cold War with World War II. Aparna is appreciating the rich history behind the graffitied Berlin Wall. Hung & Chee, Leo & Alana, the Panthers, and sisters arrive. Will & James are running and find the suitcase. All other teams see them and get their clue.

Drive a Trabant to Teledisko, the world's smallest disco party, and go inside to get your next clue.

Teams are confused how to open the car. :lol: Gary is a "bass in a sardine can". Every team received instructions and still can't figure out how to start the car. Will is having another Will moment.

Hung & Chee are the first to leave in park. :funny: Riley & Madisson follow just behind them and are wondering how the blond sisters are starting the car. They legitimately do not know. Leo & Alana almost ram into incoming traffic while Will goes into a crawl.

DeAngelo & Gary arrives at the disco. ROUTE INFO: 3-minute disco party to receive the next clue.

Riley & Madisson and Hung & Chee squeeze into the teledisco to dance and leave as Will & James arrives at the booth.

Meanwhile, Eswar & Aparna are lost. Leo & Alana wants to do a u-turn to go back onto a different street. They are behind. Kaylynn & Haley are having a Will moment and are making slow progress.

James loves the wallpaper in the teledisco. "Making memories in Berlin." Riley is stuck and Hung wants to help push his car. Will has the emergency break on and struggle to get the car started. They lose Hung & Chee in the process. Will's foot is off the clutch and the car is not going. "It's not working" (2x).

Commercial break.

We return to another episode of Will's Self-Driving Meltdowns. The clutch just quit on them and choose to run. They abandon the car.

DeAngelo & Gary arrive at the Yield, do not use, and encounter the Roadblock: Who wants to feel the wind in their hair? One team member had to do an Australian rappel. Meanwhile, the racer must look for letters to unscramble the word "Sauerkraut" to receive their next clue. DeAngelo "iRobots" his way up the stairs.

Riley & Madisson and Hung & Chee arrive. Riley and Hung do the heights RB.

DeAngelo gets to the top, looks down, and Gary immediately owes him one. He is losing control of his pace. "So unscramble the letters, what's the word?" :cheer: Utter confusion. :funny: He saw nothing but his life flash before his eyes.

Kaylynn & Haley and Eswar & Aparna ask for directions to the Teledisko while Will & James finds the hotel on foot. (Would they receive a penalty? ???)

Hung promises to help DeAngelo with the Roadblock while Maddison (oops) guesses Andel is the word. No-go.

Hung is freaking out and is sounding like a cawing crow about how scary this task is. :funny: But she gets the word and moves on from the task.

DETOUR: Belt It Out or Belch It Out. In Belt, teams must sing "I Wish I Were a Chicken" to receive their next clue. In Belch, teams must learn a sequence of beer yoga poses and perform them for a class correctly to receive the next clue.

Hung keeps her word and gives DeAngelo the word, moving on from the RB in 2nd.

Leo & Alana finish the Teledisko in 5th. Eswar & Aparna get their disco clue in 6th.

This alliance is a disaster. Volleyballers, Panthers, and Hung & Chee all choose beer yoga. DeAngelo & Gary accidentally take Hung & Chee's taxi and they are completely confused and stunned. Will performs the RB.

Kaylynn & Haley finish the disco in last. Meanwhile, Eswar & Aparna see Andel's. Will & James are given the Sauerkraut passcode by Riley and Maddison. :groan:

Eswar & Aparna and Leo & Alana arrive at the RB and choose not to Yield. Meanwhile, Hung & Chee are calling for taxis, Hung still not second thinking the alliance, and has no luck.

Commercial break.

We come back to Hung & Chee panicking about losing their taxi and their struggle to hire another one. Hung explains her generosity is costing them time.

Aparna rappels and is trying to unscramble in midair. Hung & Chee finally get a taxi.

DeAngelo & Gary arrive at Bieryoga! This is so Californian, it's not even funny.  :lol: They must perform four distinct poses with a cheesy refreshing sip of Sprite ahhh.

A disorienting amount of yoga scenes explain the sequence. They must start from the top.

Aparna guesses the word is "U rare steak". :funny: Leo is also struggling. Aparna and Leo decide to pair up.  :groan: Can we stop with this?

Kaylynn & Haley arrive at the RB and begin the task.

Leo and Aparna get the sauerkraut word and move on. This task is a mess.

Leo & Alana do the chicken song while Eswar & Aparna choose the same thing? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hung & Chee and volleyballers arrive at Bieryoga.

Volleyballers have tight hips and Hung realizes her legs are too short for a balancing pose. The "Core" is struggling. Will & James do the chicken song Detour option and are the first to arrive at the carnival grounds. They try to take in the teacher's pronunciation of German with huge culture shock.

Haley is completely scared of the heights task and is doubting herself. She slowly makes her way down, calming down by a lot, but she doesn't get the word.

Panthers are leading a class and finish the task. PIT STOP: Travel to Neukolln. Last team to arrive may be eliminated.

Riley & Madisson immediately forget the terminology in their class and must relearn.

Hung & Chee moves on as they finish the beer yoga class. Eswar & Aparna and Leo & Alana arrive at the chicken song task.

Will & James meanwhile are making a fool of themselves reading cue cards and dancing below stage.

"Don't we look incredible?!" - Alana

Haley has no idea what the mystery word is.

Volleyballers successfully lead the yoga class and get their clue in 3rd. Will & James do the chicken song on the second attempt and get it right. They leave in 4th place. DeAngelo & Gary arrive at the Neukolln and see a rad motorcyclist.

THEY ARE TEAM NUMBER ONE and win $7,500 EACH! "We finally got our first place finish." (Thanks to the alliance.)

Haley is on her 3rd attempt and can't figure out the word. She is breaking down because of the brisk walk down. She doesn't know what to do.

Commercial break.

We return to Haley going back up for another attempt. Hung & Chee and Riley & Madisson are running to the mat.

Volleyballers are TEAM NUMBER 2. Hung & Chee are TEAM NUMBER 3. Phil tries to convince them to stop the alliances because that is the difference between $1 million. Thank you for.

Will & James are the first chickens to arrive at the mat (nope), and are TEAM NUMBER 4.

Haley tries to ask a local and they say they don't feel well.  :funny: She asks a sales associate and finally gets Sauerkraut. Wow. This task is a true disaster.

Eswar & Aparna do the chicken song in full theatrics.

Eswar & Aparna get their clue while Leo & Alana follow. Kaylynn & Haley see Eswar & Aparna leaving as they arrive. Leo & Alana get their clue.

Kaylynn & Haley also get their clue pretty quickly.

Eswar & Aparna are TEAM NUMBER 5. Leo & Alana are TEAM NUMBER 6.

I thought for sure they'd get a penalty of some sort- what's the threshold for distance- what's to stop a team from driving a Trabant from the Berlin Wall to the nearest parking lot? Or is there a level or forgiveness because they walked?

I assume the producer or crew allowed them to park their cars there (not in the hotel) and run to the spot since their car is broken and there is no time for replacement, especially with the traffic or something, or they actually took a penalty but it was ust edited out imo

So this leg had two season 6 references with the East Side Gallery and the return of the Hungarian cars plus a season 22 reference with the flashing letters.
Even without alliances, it's annoying when teams share answers during Roadblocks like during TAR 18's Liechtenstein leg.
Kaylynn & Haley had to be born under a lucky star considering their three leg performance.

This! There should be rules about sharing answers when it's a task that requires teams to actually perform the task in order to solve the problem/question. What's the point of staging elaborate tasks then if teams don't even need to do them.

Alliances and helping each other are not on their own bad. It's when alliances result in stuff like what happened here.

This episode was... underwhelming? I mean, Berlin as a whole is great location and the tasks were interesting enough to watch, but this whole 'alliance' thing is really ticking me off. We already know the Final 5 already, without even needing to watch the next couple of episodes. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens to this alliance, once we hit Leg 10 and teams will be required to turn on each other in order to survive in the Race. That's when this whole 'alliance' will get very interesting!

TAR22's visit to Berlin is certainly much, much, much better than 32's, but it wasn't a bad effort, all things considered. Nice to see the Berlin Wall and some history Berlin was included in the episode, which is really good to see!

Beer yoga was certainly an interesting task and I definitely one I would try if I didn't have epilepsy  :lol: :funny:

Also, I'm epileptic and I wasn't uncomfortable when the disco task was occuring, with all the flashing lights and stuff. I wonder why there was an epilepsy warning displayed before the task occurred? Maybe CBS wanted to put it there for an abundance of caution and maybe legal requirements?

So this leg had two season 6 references with the East Side Gallery and the return of the Hungarian cars plus a season 22 reference with the flashing letters.
Even without alliances, it's annoying when teams share answers during Roadblocks like during TAR 18's Liechtenstein leg.
Kaylynn & Haley had to be born under a lucky star considering their three leg performance.
They're blondes, I think it's pretty self-explainatory.

I'll repeat what other people have said, this leg was a bit underwhelming.

The self-drive to the Teledisko and RB was great!

The Teledisko was a fun mini-task before the rest of the episode.

The Roadblock would've been more fun if the alliance wasn't there. The Roadblock looked like a fun task as well!

The beer yoga Detour looked fun as well. Everyone saying "Aaaahhhh" after each sip. :funny:

The singing task looked way too easy and didn't balance out the other side of the Detour. What's the point of having teams practice and then having the lines show up when they're performing. :groan:

Show content
Also, Kaylynn and Haley being saved yet again. :2hearts:

Rating: 3/5

How Will & James didn't get a penalty is beyond me. Going back, did the clue state they had to drive all the way to Andel's Hotel?
Phil said they had to park their cars there.
I thought for sure they'd get a penalty of some sort- what's the threshold for distance- what's to stop a team from driving a Trabant from the Berlin Wall to the nearest parking lot? Or is there a level or forgiveness because they walked?

Wrong transportation seems to always be a 30 minute penalty, extra time is added if a time advantage is gained. Baffled me too, even Leo and Alana pushed their car to the front of the hotel when it broke down.

To be honest though I lost faith with production properly applying penalties during the 24 finale.

I'm going to see if they explain it in their next video recap because this was just odd. I'm going to assume right now since the clutch broke as they said, that would've resulted in a replacement car, but I do remember back in TAR6 in Hungary that Phil said they were "extremely unreliable" so I thought production would've known to provide replacements.

This leg was just an all-around mess between the Trabants to the Detour.

Germany is one of my favorite European countries and the visit to Berlin, one of the coolest and historical cities in the world,
I am a happy camper. Love the tidbits of the history of Berlin.

Tasks wise, I had mixed opinions. It started off great, where teams had to drive a Trabant,  a German icon. I knew teams would have difficulties with this as this is an old-generation stick shift car. The Teledisko task was a nice addition to the tasks as it was current, Berlin is a party place. Once we got to the Roadblock, this I truly like, it's extreme, rappelling face down, it's cold, the letters were blinking, tired and German language is quite hard. Real food lovers will automatically get "Sauerkraut".

The Detours seemed unbalanced, but the Beer Yoga, I love the concept of this one. It was fun, trendy.
The Chicken Song looked easy. They had teams practice but they were reading the lines.
It would have been better if they sang it without the lines being read for difficulty obviously.

This whole "Core Alliance" & "Sub-Alliance" aka Major & Minor are getting on my nerves.
It ruined the entire Roadblock, correction, the entire episode...let's not make it the entire season please.
There could have been fluctuating placements there at that point.
It took away the thrill of the entire Leg. This whole helping out is getting of hand.

Will & James are joining the ranks of the teams I dislike. It looks like Dave & Connor will have a companion.
What kind of a "superfan" keeps aligning with strong teams with Race prowess till the Final 5 towards the end?
Ugh, this logic is just whack. They are getting more and more annoying as the season progresses.
Pot stirrers, causing chaos to non-alliance members and basically hypnotizing other teams in their alliance to this and that.
Not to mention their antics....

Hung & Chee's loyalty and "I keep my word/promises" will be their downfall. I am glad that they are realizing that this alliance is getting in the way of their "win". It's time to flip side. You are too smart to be helping others in a Race. Hung & Chee needs a harder slap of reality to realize that this is a Race. They need to pull out a Lyn & Karlyn soon.

DeAngelo & Gary were likable. I liked them as much as Michelle & Victoria but this Leg was the 180-degree turner.
They are basically riding on the coattails of Hung & Chee and the alliance in general. They don't bring much to their alliance.
An alliance isn't a one-way street. Better share the $7,500 to Hung & Chee.

I don't get the why they are gunning for the Blondes when they are not a threat to begin with. Back of the pack, saved by NEL's.
Gotta love the determination that these girls put into the Race. Rooting for them. Kaylynn & Haley, entertainment-wise don't bring much to table but it is because of their desire to win despite the odds, is what makes me like them. They just don't give up.

Eswar & Aparna, I predict they are collateral damage once the alliance crumbles and turns against each other. They have been quite stale in a couple of episodes but l said it last time, I think it's because of the edit these 2 are getting.

Leo & Alana, are sneaky, they switch sides to wherever it is in their favor, a smart move dumping the Blondes to secure safety in the Leg. These guys are truly smart. Not the best of Racers, but strategy-wise, I like their style. It would come off as mean, but they know what they are doing.

Maddison & Riley, I forgot about these 2, they were as bland as my grandmother's cooking.

Overall, the episode could have been so much better if it weren't for this STUPID ALLIANCE!
This alliance is ruining everything. Ugh! An alliance with 2 teams, max 3 teams is essential for strategy purposes but an alliance with half of the cast. Goodness, what is this? Some sort of Fast & the Furious thinking?!?! How did you win the Race? "I've got family."

7/10. I'm might be being generous with this, because this is Europe, and as I stated above, Germany is one of my favorites.
Minus the alliance, the only problem would the the Chicken Detour, the rest were spot on.

It's funny because I don't understand why Will/James get all the hate for the alliance? I mean maybe it's because they talk about it the most?

I don't hate them, I think they are funny sometimes but sometimes a bit annoying.. I guess if they included some of the teams I liked more (Both sisters team) in that alliance, and not just the alpha, then I would like the Alliance more.

For the roadblock, it really really really would have change the whole episode if Chee didn't help the other teams...Same with Leo helping Aparna (I mean she guess A rare steak, so she would have been there for a while).

I'm more annoyed with Riley & Maddison since they're more task info sharers. Will & James (more so James) got the edit of being the most appreciative of the alliance, so it's talked about a lot.

I think MOST of the teams would have had to take a penalty. I don't think more than 1 or 2 would have gotten Sauerkraut...remember the letters and then unscramble in your head? I do word puzzles a lot but without being able to write this down and fiddle with it made it VERY difficult.

Also wondering if there were unseen penalties for the cars...  ???

Haven't seen the insider videos yet but HOPING there are some answers there!!

Somehow all the teams got "Chekhov" during the bobsled luge Roadblock in TAR14's Siberia visit, and that's not a very commonly seen or used name. Sauerkraut is relatively easier in comparison since it's general in grocery stores and menus around the world.

I don't think I personally would have been noticing 10 sparkly letters while I was heading face first down the side of a building. Much less able to transpose them into a word in my head lol. I think Hung was brilliant to be able to do that.

And had a team been just having trouble with the word I could see sharing the answer with my alliance. But completely pointing out the task, what it was, and then solving it for a team was too much...for me.

They should've been able to write the letters down on a whiteboard and then figure it out from there. (And no sharing.) If they don't have all the letters, they have to go down again.

They also should've had maybe two lines going down to facilitate teams possibly going up and down multiple times.

i don't like when this alliance formed, now i hate it even more  :furious: :furious:. Like seriously, i think it's time for the producer make a new rule, forbid the teams to share answer at the challenge. It ruined everything, better to see the teams take time penalty for not completing the challenge. Rooting for the girls Kaylynn & Haley, even though they were lucky, i love their spirit and attitude.

Like most people, I hate this Alliance. It's one thing if two teams help each other. But five is too much. I'm getting such a kick out of the Blondes because each time they think they are doomed, they still push through the task and talk about how grateful they are. I can't stand the Boyfriends, who seem so full of themselves. I can't figure out if they are getting a villain edit or not.

I had burned out with TAR, but am glad I came back for this season. I like that the most attractive contestants don't seem to be using their looks. No one seems spoiled. I like that the challenges that require lots of strength also take some smarts, such as the stacking of the watermelons.

So many comments/tweets about this. We said it on the show, the two options we were given:

- Fix the clutch
- Run


That’s why we didn’t get a penalty, no rules were broken. #AmazingRace

They made the right call themselves but I'm still peeved production let them get away with not parking the car out the front of the hotel.

It's almost like production seemed aware the cars would break and wouldn't last the whole leg and that's why they ditched them for taxis after the roadblock. Two legs in a row they just stop using the cars half way through the leg, such bizarre leg planning imo.

Peach, At the moment I can’t remember where Will and James mentioned this (either their social media or their recap), but the route marker clue about the cars had additional instructions that if the car broke down, they either had to fix it or run to the next location. They ran, and there was no penalty.

The mine five keeps ruining this :/ Sucks for Kaylynn and Haley to fall behind so much just because they were last with no one to help them solve it. Only Hung, Leo and Haley solved it, yet the other four teams got a free pass because of it!

Also, wasn't in 26 that bergen and kurt hd to go back for their car, yet James and Will and their weird distaste for leo and alana just go to leave their car in the street for it to get a ticket? smh..
