I would have like to run this leg, it looks fun. The whole season has been fun though, they've gone to some great locations

THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON! :luvya: :luvya: :luvya:

Bates & Anthony - It was great to see them struggle! It's not that I hate them, but it's always nice to see a dominant team fall right to the back.
Lots of foreshadowing chatter about Beth/Mona vs Hockey, and Singers vs Hockey. ;)

Oh yes he can. You never know when you're done or not. No more struts to the pitstop!

He's used the same fakeout for a few seasons now though. All teams should know when he starts saying 'you've had a tough day' that means it's a non-elimination. For an elimination he always just goes straight to the point and tells someone they are out.
I thought it was odd that just before they showed the teams arriving at the train station in Dresden they showed a clip of a Lufthansa plane landing.
Sloppy editing or was there some sort of travel shenanigans going on?
I thought the trivia questions were fairly tough. Ronald Reagan made his speech about tearing down the Berlin Wall all at least 25 years ago and Kennedy made his "Ich bin ein Berliner!" statement over 50 years ago. Since most of the racers are under 30 or just over it, they probably weren't old enough to remember them. I'm not sure those speeches get much coverage in schools these days. I knew the first two questions in the Ford because I'm over 40 and have a bit of an interest in history and politics, but for the third question, I would have had to guess about where it was said.
As for the Kennedy statement, I knew that one because I had heard that to the people of Berlin, they don't call themselves Berliners. A Berliner is what they call a jelly filled doughnut. So, when Kennedy tried to say "I am a Berlin citizen!", it came out as "I am a jelly filled doughnut!" I thought that was funny, so I remembered it. I wouldn't expect most people to know that and remember the line. Good story, however I looked it up in Wikipedia just now and it says that the statement is grammatically correct and that my remembered story was wrong.

Teams changed at Interlaken Ost and arrived at Basel before switching to planes. See the Transportation thread for what actually happened. It was quite clear from the Amazing Line.
