Are you ready? Let's GO!

Skipping through the Previously On segment.

Greg/John get their clue -- leaving India and heading to Frankfurt, Germany. All teams will be on the same flight. So, there will be a bunching point again. Once there, they will have to do the driving for the first time. Ashlie and Todd lived in Germany for a while as did Robbin.

Teams hit the ground running and find their cars. They have to drive to a ferry which will take them to a castle. They need to spend five euros on board to exchange for historical coins to pay their way at the Roadblock. Already a few teams are not following the directions right.

Three teams hit the Roadblock -- Must pay off a robber baron to pay the toll. The hard part is to figure out what the witten (coins) are worth. The coin values are the issue. They get the clue and rappel down the side of a mountain. Morgan and Lena are through first.

After the Roadblock they will head to Cologne. 

Uh-oh, Malaina and Andrea are on the wrong ferry. They think they're in first. They never got the historical coins because they never got on the right ferry.

The teams hitting Cologne are having directional issues. Even father/daughter are arguing.

It's time to horse around. It's a carnival. One team member has to ride a carnival bike horse while the other throws flowers.


They have to go on foot to get the next clue.

Malaina and Andrea are totally lost, haven't even found the castle yet. When they did find the castle, they had to head back to the right ferry for the coins. Other teams are having trouble finding the right place to park in Cologne.

Roadblock - They have to unlock a marked love lock on a bridge. The lock combination is the oldest cologne made in Cologne -- 4711. Greg got the lock first. They are in first place again. Ashlie helped Rob out with the number.

Detour: Just for Kicks -- Velcro soccer balls on dartboard. Matter of Taste -- identify nine mustard seed flavors by taste. As a person who HATES mustard, I could never taste the mustards! Greg and John finish first. They can head to the Pit Stop which is at a chocolate museum.

Pit Stop Order
1. Greg/John - won $4,000 each
2. Robbin/Chelsea
3. Todd/Ashlie
4. Rob/Corey
5. Steve/Anna Leigh
6. Morgan/Lena
7. Garrett/Joel

Uh-oh ... the carnival has packed up and Phil is waiting for Malaina and Andrea there. They are Philiminated.

The Lady team realizes they got the wrong Change from the Ferry

Jackie S. said...

Malaina and Andrea are NEVER going to catch up!

Brent McKee said...

Why won’t people READ THE DAMNED CLUE!!! We have one team that is so thoroughly out of the competition that Phil might have to go find them because they didn’t read the damned clue!!!

Sharon N said...

LMAO Brent!!!

Jackie S. said...

True, Brent

Nickelpeed said...

I like the brothers.

Judi Sweeney said...

Chocolate! Now we’re talking

Nickelpeed said...

Why does the right pronunciation matter. If it sounds like the word, don't waste their time. Just Saying.

Judi Sweeney said...

Alright Greg/John!!! Thank you Jackie!

Nickelpeed said...

When we were stationed in Germany, I loved the Rindswurst with their spicy mustard.

Jackie S. said...

Judi - Thank SueGee- she makes the random picks!

Glenn Allen said...

Brent I was wondering same thing if Phil was going to have to get the Lady Team. Penny I agree about why do you have to say the German Word perfectly to say which Mustard seed!

Glenn Allen said...

Phil had to go get the Last place team where the Circus would have been.

Jackie S. said...

Thank you for coming by!

Nickelpeed said...

Poor ladies.

Thank you, Jackie. Appreciate it.

See everyone next week.

See BB fans Thursday night.

Sharon N said...

TY Jackie... see y'all tomorrow night!

Mike Barer said...

Don't like mustard, but I think for a million dollars, I could like a lot of food that I don't like.

Mike Barer said...

I have Greg and John in our pool, since they finished first, I get to pick the Survivor player of the person that finished last, since we are betting on both shows.
How Rad is that?
