And we are on the air!

Previously on TAR, six teams traveled from Venice, Italy to Arachova and Athens, Greece where Team fun and Liz & Mike got lost, and then U-Turned! at the Detour, some teams met new friends while others felt betrayed. Tara used her military experience at the Roadblock and clinched a win for mom & dad. Meanwhile, Liz & Mike fell to last.

Five teams are left, who will be eliminated next?

We return with a moment of silence for Scott before he takes the plunge. Brooke motivates him to jump... and he jumps!!!

"That was horrible. I will never do that again." London was proud of Scott for conquering his fear and Logan then takes the dive. Becca follows him.

Everyone on the same flight to Hanoi, Vietnam!

Hanoi, Vietnam is beautiful!

Everyone running for taxis and the humidity is getting to everyone, especially Tara & Joey who only got 4 hrs of sleep. Scooters and traffic everywhere! Adrenaline rush of music to the statue.

Becca & Floyd get there first.

Teams must search for their next clue among the fan dancers.

ROUTE INFO: Make your way to the Quan Su Buddhist Temple for their next clue.

Brooke & Scott find the hidden clue, and told LoLo that the clue is on a person instead of the Paper fan. Tara & Joey figure out it is on a fan and are on their way.

Bec & Floyd arrive at the temple.
DETOUR: Bamboo Climb or Window Design
In BC, teams must pick up a marked ladder and make their way to a provided apartment building to pick up an elevated birdcage. Then, they must return the birdcage and ladder to the Starting point to receive ther next clue.
In WD, teams must pick up 3 mannequins and arrange a storefront display based on a live reference perfectly to receive their next clue.

Brooke & Scott can't find a ladder at the former Detour option and are distressed. It runs to commercial break.

LoLo realizes they need to take their gloves off for the last couple of legs of the race while Brooke tells us she was struggling to climb the other ladders. Becca & Floyd and Matt & Red navigating their way through all the incoming traffic.

Brooke & Scott fight about the ladders while Tara & Joey bypass them with concern for them.
Becca & Floyd arrive at the apartment and are stuck between the walls of a spiraling staircase.
Tara & Joey calmly react to the limited ladders and go to the mannequins while Brooke complains about the weight of all the mannequins. "I can't!" She wants some to wrap the molded limbs in a scarf to not break any. Meanwhile, Mom & dad arrive and forget to pick up their 3rd manny.

"I broke up with her, and she took it kind of hard." Lol "Carry her gently" says Tara.

Fun Meter blocking The Boys' route to the birdcages. Matt has experience in moving furniture and helps the cause with this task. LoLo also pass by The Boys on their way up to the birds. They are also wedged in.

Brooke: "Let's go you little brat!"
Tara: "Give this to me!"

Mannequins all falling apart and Tara received the death stare by a Hanoi local after accidentally hitting her on the side with the hefty mannequin pieces. LoLo still figuring out the spiral staircase.

Brooke complaining and yelling and screaming at Scott. Her back hurts really bad and cries for mercy. She continues to become Flo 2.0 in Vietnam with her "I can't" attitude returning worse than ever. So annoying...

Team Fun deliver the cage and ladder back followed by The Boys! Woohoo!

ROUTE INFO: Travel to Thong Nhat Park, the next Pit Stop! Last team to arrive here may be eliminated!

Tara & Joey arrive at the vacant shop and realize they forgot the man mannequin. They start bickering over the positions of mannequins.

Brooke & Scott explode with hatred and spewing expletives at each other while slowly carrying the pieces to the shop. Commercials.

And we return with the Odd Couple still on the streets arguing. "I don't know how to do this!"
London & Logan are moving along nicely and are getting the birdcage! They are stunting right now.

Meanwhile, Fun and Boys are having a taxi battle to the Pit Stop! "worst to first/Pit Stop Phil!"
And..... Becca & Floyd arrive 1st!!!! :conf: :conf: :conf: As the winners of this leg, they won a trip for two sponsored by Travelocity to the Galápagos Islands!

Matt & Redmond are second and receive hugs from Funstoppable. "Unboylievable."

And we return to Brooke on her damn period! Tara & Joey say they've become  ridiculous while they are setting up the display. Scott used to Ben a retail manager and has experience dressing storefront display mannequins. Tara & Joey are declined the approval and realize they forgot the other mannequin. They are starting to freak out and quickly running back.

"Sorry Joey, we are done."

Meanwhile, LoLo get their next clue from the birdcages.

Brooke & Scott move up to 4th, finishing the Detour while Tara & Joey traveling back with the third manny.

LoLo arrive in 3rd and enjoy their partnership.

Brooke & Scott are stuck in traffic and Brooke is turning red with stress. Tara & Joey hustling and startin to bicker a bit. Odd Couple's taxi driver takes them to the wrong place and Brooke is fuming! :funny:

Tara & Joey get their clue and on their way!
