This week, teams are leaving the Palm, which turns out to be man-made island larger than 800 football fields. Their next stop, Amsterdam. Since it’s a very long flight, everyone ends up on the same plane.
At the airport, while waiting for the plane, Sam and Dan reveals that they are gay, which does not surprise everyone that much. Ericka’s the only one flipped out about this truth.
Teams have to find Afsluitdijk and get to a monument when they arrive in Amsterdam. Everyone gets there at almost the same time, except Brian and Ericka, Brian could not figure out how to turn their car’s engine on.
Then teams drive to Groningen, for the Roadblock. They have to going up a bell tower and count how many bells are in this carillon. It’s very dark and the player keeps ringing the bells, making it hard for them to count. Meghan and Dan work together and they count the right number. Dan tells Tiffany the number on his way down, so she literally doing nothing on this task. (I’m a bit concerned about this being cheating or not though). Everyone finishes the task without much difficulties, except Ericka. She count the right number on the forth try, which making them quite left behind.
Next is a Detour in Vierhauzen, Farmer’s Game or Farmer’s Dance. In Farmer’s Game, teams have to play three holes of farmer’s golf, which is just golf with a huge golf ball and a club with a clog. There is a twist though, they have to finish each hole in 8 strikes. In Farmer’s Dance, teams have to first hit the bell on top of a high-striker, then learn a traditional Dutch fold dance. If the trainer is satisfied with their performance, they’ll have to eat a herrings before they get the clue. In both ways, they all have to put on Dutch costumes.
Meghan and Cheyne and Sam and Dan both go for the golf, only then they find out it’s harder than they thought. It take them sometime to learn how to strike the ball, and the windy conditions make it harder for them to hit the ball to the right direction. Sam and Dan learn it much faster, and they finish it first. They win a dune buggy for this leg. Meghan and Cheyne are right after them.
Gary and Matt go to the dance first, but when they find out they have to eat fish, they swith. Because Matt doesn’t eat. Meanwhile, Flight Time and Big Easy finish the dance easily and take up the time that Gary and Matt left, they finish third.
Maria and Tiffany, who are the third to arrive at the detour, are having big troubles of finishing the tasks. They first go for the dance, but fail to hit the high-striker for dozens of tries. Then they switch to the game, only to find out it’s much much worse. They go back to the dance again, however, after almost 50 tries, they still can’t hit the high-striker. Switching again, still struggling. (Quite a lot of bad moves here, they should have stick to the dance and try hit the high-striker harder. There at some point Tiffany almost gets it, so they should have got past it if they keep on trying.)
In the meantime, Brian and Ericka catch up to them, they go for the dance and finish it with ease. Though they have to take a 30-minute penalty because they did not take the bikes to the detour, they are still number five.
Maria and Tiffany, after struggling in the windy and cold weather, decides to quit the race. Another dumb move, what if this is a non-elimination leg? (I am 90% confident that it is. ) Anyway, the only all female team of this season is eliminated.
