We start in Chamonix, France!

All teams are shown getting winter gear and depart the Pit Start.

Teams must find cars and travel somewhere, I didn't catch it lol.

Brodie & Kurt arrive at the clue and get a Route Info.

Route Info: Les Grands Montet Summit.

This is the highest mountain in Europe, teams must now make the way up and get their clue precariously perched on the top of the mountain!

Brodie & Kurt/Tyler & Korey are on the first gondola. Burnie & Ashley and Dana & Matt on the next one.

Tyler & Korey and Brodie & Kurt get the next clue by traversing across the mountain.

Detour: Dynamite or Campsite

Dynamite: Deliver explosives and lunch to hard-working professionals on avalanche control to get your next clue!

Campsite: Pitch a tent to get your next clue.

Both teams choose Dynamite.

Dana & Matt and Burnie & Ashley arrive and begin moving across the mountain.

I don't understand why they didn't just do that. Considering how season 27 was one day longer than this season, I don't understand how one extra day would hurt production.

Scott & Blair and Erin & Joslyn arrive at Dynamite. Blair tells Erin & Joslyn to find lunch and then the latter get confused.

Brodie & Kurt arrive at the next clue first and see the Roadblock.

Roadblock: Paraglide and answer the guide's question to get your clue.

Brodie is doing it.

Sheri & Cole finally decide to do dynamite.

Erin & Joslyn still lost :lol:

Tyler & Korey arrive and Korey chooses to do it.

Brodie & Kurt and Tyler & Korey take off.

Sheri & Cole have a hard time.

Tyler & Korey and Brodie & Kurt finish in 1st and 2nd.

I didn't catch it but apparently teams finished the Detour and Burnie/Ashley and Sheri/Cole are bottom 2?

And one team lost their clue into the mountain abyss. :lol: :o

It's Freddy & Kendra happening over all again.
Will Burnie & Ashley receive a penalty for taking two clues though??

I wonder if a penalty will be applied. ???
I also wonder how many extra clues they have. ???

Yeah strange a penalty was not applied, do we know what the rules say about taking another clue? If Burnie and Ashley got a 30 minute penality it potentially could have saved Erin & Joslyn.

It's not like you just take another clue from the clue box. They had to do the task again and lost time.

*sighs* What an episode.

Sheri was amazing this episode and the best part of the episode. What an inspiration <3

I also still rly like Scott & Blair even though they were quiet, but they delivered in whatever screentime they had lol <3

Erin & Joslyn :torche They were so much fun early on then they fizzled out these past two legs, I was really hoping for an NEL :( On the bright side, that makes them third on teams eliminated by Blair :lol: (Darius & Cameron via keeping quiet at the RB, Brittany & Jessica by hiding on the train, and now by confusing Erin & Joslyn at the Detour). Production seems to like them so I'm hoping they'll be back! (which is more than what I can say for most of the teams this season).

Dana & Matt are UTRN alright. Zach & Rachel are nice but so MOR.

Burnie & Ashley are so boring.

Brodie & Kurt are back to yelling which sucks, but I like them a little? They can have the Leo & Jamal factor of an obnoxiously loud team but still be alright.

Tyler & Korey just sucks. They're not fun and they're not entertaining. Ugh.

Any reason why TAR 28 is taking a 2 week break? I mean I understand if it disappears for one week due to some music video awards, but why two weeks?  :groan: Is there a special reason why it's gonna take two weeks? Sorry, if it did happen before, I probably couldn't remember what it was.  :(

:funny: ^^^  So true.  :lol:

By far the worst Leg this Season.  I'd almost go as far as say it's as bad as some of the Legs from The Season That Shant be Named.  :groan:

It was soooo linear, and only for Burnie & Ashley choosing the harder Detour, which was incredibly unbalanced may I add, and Erin & Ashley falling at the RB, this Leg would've been the most linear Leg I can ever recall seeing.
And what the hell was that Dynamite Detour.  :gaah:  (:;)  None of the tasks this Leg required ANY great skill at all.  :lala

They even missed an opportunity by not including any self driving, even if it was just from the Detour to the RB.  :groan:

I wanted this to be a NEL, and felt it almost should've been.  Hoping for one next Leg now.

Overall, a pretty crappy Leg.  On a Positive note though, the scenery was amazing, but even that can't sway my view here.  :(

Team Rankings:
LOVE: Scott & Blair
Like: Burnie & Ashley, Zach & Rachel, Sherri & Cole
Neutral: Korey
Dislike: Dana & Matt, Brodie & Kurt
HATE: Tyler - The whole " Bros being Jocks, Jocks being Dudes, Dudes being Bros" thing p***es me off to no end!  (:;)

Awesome views and landscapes but worst leg of this season. No chance for the back of the pack to catch up the first teams!  :gaah:

I'm starting to be annoyed by Tyler's laugh. I mean, he's a good guy, but no need to laught for everything you see or do...
Oh, and Zach & Rachel were completely invisible this leg. :/

Why that huge break? Oh my god, so bad CBS.  :groan:
Thanks CBS for this "season preview" with a lot of spoilers where we just can see four teams from seven on the whole preview.  (:;)

I am going to disagree with some of you all. Worst leg? NO WAY!

I think this was an awesome leg. We had amazing scenery, very very difficult physical challenges (any of you ever ice/snow climb at altitude? Just getting up and back must have been soooo difficult!), human interest with people overcoming fears, incredibly interesting run for the paraglide start, awesome paraglide views, AND a three way FEMALE race for the end!!

Yes the leg was too linear. Yes the edits could have shown a bit more placements etc But you know what? The casual viewer doesn't see that. They see an amazing location, interesting tasks, and good human interest. Who didn't tear up when Sheri said "I did it?? I DID it??" 
My guess is this will be an Emmy Nom.

The Paccard statue pitstop was a different statue than the Balmant/Saussure statue we saw in the previews (and you probably noticed that the greeter was dressed in a Balmant costume; Balmant is presumably a favorite son). There's actually a bit of drama about that; you can read here (https://lensscaper.wordpress.com/2012/12/17/the-story-behind-the-first-ascent-of-mont-blanc/) if you're interested.

The WWI reenactment was ambitious and looked great on TV.  But it still lost. And this was when TAR was still very popular.

I have a mixed opinion about this leg :gnome

It was definitely the most beautiful one yet and it felt A LOT different from the regular TAR legs, so that made me really interested. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of French mountains and found myself wanting to go there, so I think that's a huge positive. The ending had some suspense, too.

However, as people here have already mentioned, the leg was EXTREMELY linear... :tantrum I hated that. Everything could have been made SO SO MUCH BETTER had the teams been required to self-drive a couple of times. Why did the producers not take this opportunity? :groan: I also found Brodie really annoying this leg, around as much as he was in the premiere, and that really decreased my enjoyment.

Is it just me (because strangely no one else has mentioned this yet), or did the first couple of minutes feel very cringeworthy, especially the editing at the hotel? It just felt cheesy like ANTM. :lol: Also reminded me of the awkward scene in the last episode when they were staying in Geneva and the first ~10 minutes of the episode didn't feel like a race at all.

FINALLY, CAN PHIL STOP DOING THOSE CHEESY LIVE COMMENTARIES FFS :wall:

The driving that was done this leg showed a good bit of snow and ice. I don't think production wants to risk hired cars on drivers who perhaps have never driven on snow/ice.

I don't remember seeing the starting line times at the beginning of episode 5, but at the end of episode 4, weren't all teams except the eliminated team on the mat at the same time? So people should have left the pit stop fairly close to each other. I went to Mt Blanc about 25 years ago- trams were about 15 minutes apart at that time so that produced the spacing of the racers we saw.
Agree with Peach this should be Emmy submission. A bit of drama, emotions and spectacular scenery!

Just like last season's Tiffany & Krista on Leg 5, Scott & Blair got lucky this leg.
1.) Erin & Joslyn arrived later than them on the clue after the pit start, moving Scott & Blair up by one place
2.) Sheri & Cole weren't prepared upon reaching the cable car, thus having Scott & Blair enter the cable car in 6th, on the 3rd batch.
3.) Burnie & Ashley took the longer detour, so Scott & Blair passed them too.
4.) Blair beat Rachel at the roadblock because the latter had at least 1 failed attempt there.
In the end, Scott & Blair checked in at 4th. What luck!

For what it's worth: I need a mute button for Tyler and his laugh. He annoys me the most, followed by Brodie and Blair. My favorites are Zach and Rachel because they are low-key and I love Zach's magic vines. Perhaps because all of the contestants are social media stars, I'm hearing more about how the editing manipulates the viewers. These linear legs are disappointing -- unless you want the guys in the lead to keep winning. Nevertheless, I always love the different scenery and customs.

Did anybody else notice that this episode was extremely weather dependent?

I wonder if production had space in the schedule to wait one extra day here if the weather had been bad on the 23rd when this was shot?

In any case I am convinced they had alternate tasks which were not as weather-dependedent planned.

give credit where credit is due. scott and blair ran the leg perfectly given the fact that it was so linear. dont say it was all luck bc as kurt said (i think) "the winner of this race will be the team that makes the least mistakes.".

I believe it was after you were unsuccessful that you had to let the teams behind you go first. So when all three are lined up to go at the same time, no one had gone yet, so anyone could go. After Ashley's unsuccessful attempt, she had to wait until Sheri and Erin had tried once before she could go again.
