Welcome
to Leg 7! Last time, on I
Can’t Read Or Speak French So Hopefully Someone Tells Me Where I’m
Going,
7 teams raced from Zimbabwe to France. There were multiple daredevil
Roadblocks, Justin continued to annoy everyone he met, including his
own partner (FREE DIANA!) and Logan and Chris can’t seem to do
anything right. Luckily, neither can other teams, like Alabama, who
get lost heading to a Detour and instead go to the other, where
Denise can’t rap to save her life. They drop from first to worst,
but luckily, the leg is non-elimination and teams are told to keep
racing! Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)
Arrival
at the pit stop last episode:
1st
– Justin and Diana, Team Race Proposal, #TheGreenTeam
2nd
– Tiffany and Krista, Team Jet Pack, #TheCheerleaders
3rd
– Kelsey and Joey, Team Newscast, #TheReporters
4th
– Tanner and Josh, Team Prerequisite Hot Boys, #TeamTexas
5th
– Cindy and Rick, Team Asian Doctor, #ChacAttack
6th
– Logan and Chris, Team Photobomb, #ThePaparazzi
7th
– Denise and James Earl, Team Token MomGaySon, #TeamAlabama
So,
if you couldn’t figure it out even with the TBC at the end of the
last episode, Denise and James Earl suck at rapping, complete the leg
in last place, and are told at the mat to keep racing. Now, for the
next leg.
Arc
de Triomphe, Place Charles de Gaulle, Paris, France
Justin/Diana
(1st)
Clue:
Travel to Gare Du Nord to catch a train to ROTTERDAM, THE
NETHERLANDS! Tickets have been provided for you on the 7:22 PM
train, but you may book an earlier train if you choose. Once there,
find the location in the provided picture (Leuvehaven, Vessel 11) to
get your next clue. Check your FitBit throughout the leg; the farther
you go, the better! (Toyouke: *sigh*)
Tiffany/Krista
(2nd)
Kelsey/Joey
(3rd)
Tanner/Josh
(4th) –
who decide to go sightseeing in Paris. OMG RACE!
Cindy/Rick
(5th)
Logan/Chris
(6th)
Denise/James
Earl (7th)
So
teams make their way to Gare Du Nord and arrive in the following
order:
1-
Justin/Diana
2-
Kelsey/Joey
3-
Cindy/Rick
4-
Tiffany/Krista
5-
Tanner/Josh

As
a result, many teams are able to find trains that are earlier, either
directly to Rotterdam or through other cities. Teams get on the
following trains:
Train
1, departs 4:19 PM
1)
Justin/Diana
Train
2, departs 4:53 PM
1)
Kelsey/Joey
Train
3, departs 5:16 PM
1)
Cindy/Rick
2)
Tiffany/Krista
Train
4, departs 7:22 PM
1)
Tanner/Josh
2)
Logan/Chris
3)
Denise/James Earl
Teams
now travel to Rotterdam and arrive at Centraal Station in the
following order:
1-
Justin/Diana
2-
Tiffany/Krista
3-
Cindy/Rick –
who somehow thought that the French called Amsterdam “Rotterdam”
and thus didn’t get off the train at Rotterdam, ending up at
Schiphol Airport before turning around and heading back. And
somehow, they didn’t lose their placing. (Toyouke: "It is probably wrong how much glee I felt at this screw-up.")
4-
Kelsey/Joey
5-
Tanner/Josh
6-
Logan/Chris
7-
Denise/James Earl
Teams
now head to Leuvehaven and find Vessel 11, a lighthouse boat, in the
following order:
1-
Justin/Diana
2-
Tiffany/Krista
3-
Cindy/Rick
4-
Kelsey/Joey
5-
Tanner/Josh
6-
Logan/Chris
7-
Denise/James Earl
Teams
arrive to find pull tabs for morning departure times and sleeping
arrangements on the vessel. So teams get comfortable and awake in
the morning to depart in the following order:
5:00
AM Justin/Diana
5:15
AM Tiffany/Krista
5:30
AM Cindy/Rick –
and Rick was bitten on his lip overnight by something, causing an
allergic reaction and swelling like no one’s business.
5:45
AM Kelsey/Joey
6:00
AM Tanner/Josh
6:15
AM Logan/Chris
6:30
AM Denise/James Earl
Teams
are instructed to travel to Kop Van Zuid and catch water taxis to
Kinderdijk Windmill Village in Molenwaard. Teams arrive at the water
taxi station in the following order:
1-
Tiffany/Krista
2-
Cindy/Rick
3-
Justin/Diana
– after a large argument about the best way to get there, taxi or
walk.
4-
Kelsey/Joey
5-
Tanner/Josh
6-
Logan/Chris
7-
Denise/James Earl
And
then teams arrive at the Windmill Village in the following order:
1-
Tiffany/Krista
2-
Cindy/Rick
3-
Justin/Diana
4-
Kelsey/Joey
5-
Tanner/Josh
6-
Logan/Chris
7-
Denise/James Earl
And
teams get the envelope with the seventh roadblock clue.
ROADBLOCK:
Who
wants to pick the sunflowers?
In
this roadblock, one team member must search among the windmills for
an exact replica of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” painting. Once the
right painting has been found and verified by the miller, teams would
get their next clue.
The
following teammates take the Roadblock:
1-
Krista
2- Rick
3- Diana
2- Rick
3- Diana
4-
Joey
5-
Tanner
6-
Logan –
“Look at everyone, there’s running, I’ll take it.”
7-
Denise
After
much Dutch Roulette, teams complete the Roadblock in the following
order:
1-
Kelsey/Joey
2-
Cindy/Rick
3-
Tiffany/Krista
4-
Justin/Diana
5-
Tanner/Josh
6-
Denise/James Earl
7-
Logan/Chris
Teams
are now instructed to record their highest heart rate from the
previous leg and the heartrate recorded at the Roadblock and find the
difference. Teams then collect that number of tulips and deliver
them to the Spakenburgermeisje to get their next clue. Teams deliver
the tulips in the following order:
1-
Kelsey/Joey
2-
Cindy/Rick
3-
Tiffany/Krista
4-
Justin/Diana
5-
Tanner/Josh - who fail at basic subtraction. (Toyouke: "Even with a pen and paper!")
6-
Denise/James Earl
7-
Logan/Chris
Teams
are now instructed to take their water taxi to Nolet Distillery in
Schiedam. Teams arrive in the following order:

2-
Cindy/Rick
3-

Justin/Diana
5-
Tanner/Josh
6-
Logan/Chris
7-
Denise/James Earl
And
we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Ship
OR Skip
*Ship:
Teams must travel to Millennium Tower and use a training simulator to
navigate a storm. Teams must deliver a pilot to one ship and answer
a distress call at another in five minutes in order to get their next
clue. Only one team can be in the simulator at a time, so teams go
to the end of the line when they fail.
*Skip:
Teams must travel to Leuvehoofd Park at Erasmus Bridge and complete a
hand clapping routine while jumping double dutch for 45 seconds.
Once complete, teams would receive their next clue.
1-
Kelsey/Joey choose Ship
2-
Justin/Diana choose Ship
3-
Tiffany/Krista choose Skip –
and impress the judge.
4-
Cindy/Rick choose Ship –
who, for some reason, wait for a bus to get to the tram for 30
minutes.
5-
Tanner/Josh choose Ship
6-
Logan/Chris choose Ship
7-
Denise/James Earl choose Ship
Much
navigating and jumproping occurs.

STOP of the seventh leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to
arrive MAY be eliminated!
1-
Justin/Diana –
who win $31873, the total value of their steps on Leg 7, courtesy of

receive a 98 minute massage at the Pit Stop.

Tiffany/Krista
4-
Tanner/Josh
5-
Logan/Chris
6-

And
Cindy and Rick are eliminated, because they made too many mistakes.
Oops.
