Racing reportThis is incredible. Thanks for putting in the time to create this.
Amazing Race Season 33, Episode 5, "Stairway to hell"
Film date: 2021-09-20 or 2021-09-21
The last pit stop was on Marktgasse in the town of Altstätten, Switzerland. This is also where teams are released. From now on this season will release teams in groups based on the order they arrived but with fixed time intervals. This time they are released two at a time in 15 minute intervals.
Teams are released in the following order:
1. Ryan & Dusty 07:30 1. Kim & Penn 07:30 3. Lulu & Lala 07:45 +0:15 3. Raquel & Cayla 07:45 +0:15 5. Akbar & Sheri 08:00 +0:30 5. Arun & Natalia 08:00 +0:30
Road block: "Who wants to get down with the Travelocity roaming gnome?"
The clue also says: "Sheri, for safety reasons you must perform this road block" (it is unclear if it did so for all teams or just for Akbar & Sheri). The road block is to bungy jump 722ft from the Verzasca dam. This is a switchback from season 14.
The first hurdle is to get to the dam. It is a 2.5h drive through gorgeous landscapes.
"We have 2.5hours to enjoy each others company before Kim jumps off a perfectly good rock", Penn is not helping
Kim & Penn drive together with Ryan & Dusty and when they arrive at the dam they play Rock Paper Scissors to see who should jump first.
Raquel & Cayla take the scenic route, they are never lost but when we get shots of the congratulating themselves how well they are doing we know they are in trouble.
"I think we are doing fantastic", Cayla while they are driving on the back roads
But Arun & Natalia are in even more trouble as they are not going the right way.
"We're heading downhill. Downhill in spirit and downhill in direction", Natalia when they need to go up into the mountains
"Finally made it, but 2.5 hours late", Arun when they finally arrive
Raquel & Cayla get a shock when they arrive and see that they are number 5.
"I just assumed we were in first place", Raquel
Even though racers have had plenty of time to get anxious during the long drive here nobody chickens out and everybody jumps without any delays.
"I'd rather roller-blade up Mt Everest than do this", Dusty
"I should be driving the kids to school right now", Kim
"They are not gonna kill you, it is the Amazing Race they don't want to do that", Penn
The gnome is strapped to the racers as they jump.
Teams complete this road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock):
1(+0) Ryan & Dusty* (2-2) 2(-1) Kim* & Penn (2-2) 3(+0) Lulu & Lala* (2-2) 4(+1) Akbar & Sheri* (1-3) 5(-2) Raquel & Cayla* (3-1) at 12:33 6(-1) Arun & Natalia* (2-2)
"I can honestly say that besides having my sons that was the proudest I have been for her", Akbar
The next clue can be found in the satchel the Gnome wears and it a route info: "Drive yourselves to the lakefront town of Lugano. Once there search the lakefront on foot near Piazza Carlo Battaglini to find your next clue."
The clue also states that teams have to park their cars in a specific parking garage in Lugano (Autosil Central Park). This is about a 45 minute drive from the dam.
Ryan & Dusty wait for Kim & Penn and they plan to drive together to Lugano, but they get separated early on.
"Are you sure it was Lasagno and not Lugano?", Natalia doubt where they are going
And Natalia is correct to doubt their directions. They get seriously lost on their way to Lugano and arrive way behind the other teams.
Teams arrive to the clue box by the lakefront in Lugano (500m from the parking) in the following order:
1(+0) Ryan & Dusty
2(+1) Lulu & Lala
3(-1) Kim & Penn
4(+0) Akbar & Sheri
5(+0) Raquel & Cayla
6(+0) Arun & Natalia
Detour: Bartender Race or Sausage Encase
In Bartender race teams must carry 12 bottles of wine and 12 bags of chestnuts to the top of Salita Degli Angioli, which turns out to be a 400ft staircase. To make this harder they may not drop their backpacks nor use anything other than their hands and arms to carry everything, and they are still carrying the gnome as well. This means teams will have to make multiple trips, and there are a lot of steps in the stairs.
In Sausage Encase teams must pick up ingredients and then make their way to the rooftop terrace of the Gabbani hotel where they must make 9ft of sausage. This needs to be divided into 4 pieces and each be rolled up like princess Leia's hair.
Lulu & Lala get distracted by the handsome men at the sausage making detour, but power through it. Later on they interview that they did it for their grandma. Meanwhile Akbar & Sheri try to bring all 12 bottles of wine in one go but they quickly realize this is too much and go back with some of them.
"I don't even like to eat sausage, I'm a bacon girl", Cayla
Raquel & Cayla get their first attempt at making the sausages rejected. They are not told what the problem is but see that one of their rolls is a bit small. They make a new one and this time they are approved.
Teams complete the detour in the following order:
1(+0) Ryan & Dusty, stairs made 4 trips
2(+0) Lulu & Lala, sausages
3(+0) Kim & Penn, stairs, made 3 trips
4(+0) Akbar & Sheri, stairs, made 3 trips
5(+0) Raquel & Cayla, sausages, after 14:53
6(+0) Arun & Natalia, sausages
Route info: Ask the Travelocity roaming gnome where you're heading next.
Teams must now search the satchel of their gnome and here they can find a photo of a stately house. They will have to ask around to learn that this is located at Parco Ciani and it is located along the waterfront (850m from the sausage detour and 1.2km from the top of the stairs).
On their way to the building Dusty's legs start to cramp up. He has to sit down for a minute or so before he can hobble on. The foam roller which Ryan has been carrying the whole time does not come into use here, but according to interviews it did see use during the pit stop.
On their way to the building Raquel & Cayla spot Akbar & Sheri. The latter are walking (Sheri is also having leg cramps) so the girls run past them.
"Excuse us", Cayla as they run past
"Please let us don't be last", Sheri
At Parco Ciani teams find Phil and the next pit stop. The greeter is a woman and her bulldog.
Teams check in the following order:
1(+0) Ryan & Dusty, win a trip to Dominica
2(+)) Lulu & Lala
3(+0) Kim & Penn, as #2 are still on the mat
4(+1) Raquel & Cayla
5(-1) Akbar & Sheri, at around 15:05, just after #4
6(+0) Arun & Natalia, at 18:05, are saved by a non elimination
Apparently in the next leg there will be three groups at the start. Teams 1&2 will start first, then teams 3-5 and finally team 6.
When Arun & Natalia finally reach the Pit Stop Phil admonishes them for being late. In fact they are so late that the greeter, and her dog, had to leave.
