arun & natalia may be bad on navigations, but lulu and lala literally drive themselves into the pit stop without finishing tasks remaining  :lol:

Just like Dave & Rachel in TAR20.

Cayla references the saints with a backstory of her own while the priest gets pissy with Ryan as he tries to leave early again. :funny:

Arun realizes he threw away the paper to St. George's Church and leave in 4th. Lulu & Lala finally get to Mamo's. Wow, they skipped 2 whole tasks. :funny: They have trouble spelling it.

Kim & Penn arrive on the mat and ARE TEAM NUMBER 1! They win $7,500 each! Kim says this is their third leg in a row while Penn is focused on the final 3.

Lulu & Lala ask a lady walking with a charming dog on how to spell souvlaki and get their meal.

Lulu & Lala also get Penn'd and don't understand what they need to do.

Meanwhile, Arun & Natalia catch up to the flight attendants and best friends. Ryan is in a sitting position now.

Lulu & Lala push through their second souvlaki with Lulu in tears and near casu martzu levels of sickness. Now this is a task.

loved the fact that the clue printed on the souvlaki wrapping really tripped all of the teams, mostly LuLa

15-minutes is a long time to have to repeat; I'm reserving judgement on the task until more teams after Penn complete it because he made it look pretty procedural.

The leg also seems kind of linear, but that may just be due to Penn & Kim not making any mistakes. They seem to be navigating pretty easily, unlike other teams.
Kim & Penn are almost unstoppable! :o

We come back to Lulu & Lala regenerating their souvlaki fiasco. We get foot race to the Pit Stop music. Lulu and Lala throw away their second parchment. :funny:

Ryan tries his second attempt at the saints and reveals his time in prison has him rebuilding his brain. He gets all his saints in a row and get their clue in 2nd.

Cayla gets it right on the first try! Incredible!

Arun is feeling the pressure while Lala finally finds the parchment. "Did I get sick for nothing?"

Natalia is incorrect on 3 out of 5 on the saints on her first try.

Ryan & Dusty ask for directions while Raquel & Cayla drive pass them.

Raquel & Cayla reach the mat and are TEAM NUMBER 2! Raquel reveals their fluctuating placements is a testament to how tough they are.

Ryan & Dusty are TEAM NUMBER 3 on the mat.

Meanwhile, Natalia does her second attempt. She is correct! They leave in 4th.

Lulu & Lala get to the clue box at the church with Lulu getting a montage of how long she is at the sermon. 12 minutes elapsed.

Meanwhile, Arun & Natalia get progressively more lost and end up in pure countryside. "We don't have time to lose right now."

Roadblock vs. navigation.

Lulu gets her first attempt correct, woah, these teams are powerful in memory this leg. They leave the second RB in last.

Arun & Natalia ask for directions from a local photographer. "It ain't over til the fat lady sings."

And... ARUN & NATALIA arrive on the mat and are TEAM NUMBER 4!

Lulu & Lala arrive on the mat and are the LAST TEAM to arrive. Unfortunately, they have been eliminated from the race. They are proud and thankful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They are appreciative of visiting countries they've never gone and the overall experience.

Lulu & Lala want to walk the pier and dive into the marina water.

Oy vey.

I was so sure that it is finally the leg where Arun & Natalia DO NOT GET LOST, until that drive to the pit-stop   :groan:

Please don't get into final 3 with that performance  :groan:

NEXT WEEK ON TAR!

With only four teams remaining (plate breaking!), teams leave no stone unturned. They have to search through a pile of actual rubble.

The clue on the wrapper reminded me of TAR13's second Moscow leg- always fun to look back on that season- and therefore had my immediate approval.

Finally a leg with a tough mental task.
The hidden clue and both RBs that did require some attention to detail. Great leg.
Sad to see the twins go, but enjoyed the final editing, trying to suggest they might be able to catch-up.

They performed way worse than Kaylynn & Haley in my opinion. The blondes really struggled during the Asuncion - Paris - Berlin arc but they excelled in some legs (Manaus / Almaty) to compensate. But Arun & Natalia struggled almost every leg except London 2  :groan:

Next week: social media meltdown when Arun & Natalia are once again saved with a non-elimination inevitably caused by poor navigational skills.

i actually wonder how LuLa didnt search of everything including the wrapper that related to the task. i get that jet lag + exhaustion are things that play the factor but you gotta be making sure to check everything that related to the task.

tbf they are a decent team regarding to them performing tasks but they are definitely the weakest team in term of navigation, like really really bad. they could have been done better in TAR 27 imo. they are dandrew when it comes to navigation

Well, that was a very unpredictable leg with a lot of great moments from all the teams. I'm beyond impressed by Kim & Penn's performance lately - seems like teams are not so threatened by how well they are doing. It's like their race to lose at this point. Notice how no other team had shown up when they finished the second Roadblock. Penn's hidden superpower would definitely be beneficial in a final memory task and I'm curious what the next leg's tolling task will be.

Solid Greek leg!

Penn has an eidetic memory which reallly boost them when it comes to mental tasks like memory task. Penn is definitely one of the best racer in the recent memory imo
