Welcome
to Leg 7! Last time, on I’m
Stacking It!, 8 teams raced
from Dubai to Kampala, Uganda. The Big Brother Alliance was put to
the test as teams stacked wood, preserved fish and competed in the
first (read: SECOND) Head to Head of the season. (Toyouke: “There
was some speculation online that the reason they included this last
Head-to-Head, even though no placements changed, was because the last
two teams ran to the mat holding hands. And there was no way to
explain how the last place team caught up otherwise. They could have
just made them refilm it, but that does make some sense.”) In
the end, GayTube won the leg and the BBMoms were eliminated. Who
will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

No
times at all. Really TAR? Help a guy out.
Tyler/Korey
(1st)
Clue:
Fly 3500 miles to Zurich, Switzerland! Once there, catch a train to
Grindelwald and make your way to Gletscherschlucht Glacier Gorge to
get your next clue.
Colin/Christie
(2nd)
Nicole/Victor
(3rd)
Chris
Bret (4th)
Becca/Floyd
(5th)
Leo/Jamal
(6th)
Rachel/Elissa
(7th)
Teams
must go to a travel agent to get tickets first. So teams travel to
Equity Agency and arrive in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Becca/Floyd
6-
Leo/Jamal
7-
Rachel/Elissa – and Rachel
mentions that this is her thirty-first leg, and if she completes it,
she will be tied with the Globetrotters and the Cowboys for most legs
completed on the Amazing Race.
And
because everyone is on the same flight and the flight isn’t for a
few hours, Team Fun decides to have a beer at the nearby pub. The
Afghanimals see them and start to discuss the potential upcoming
U-Turn. Nicole and Victor and Colin and Christie come up as
potential U-Turn teams. And then the Reilly Sisters show up. Team
Fun buys them a beer, and they discuss the U-turn, and Rachel is
particularly afraid of U-turning Nicole and Victor. (Toyouke: “This
is why alliances are so dumb. No one should trust each other. If
Rachel and Elyssa turn on Team Fun, then it's kind of Team Fun's
fault for trusting them and also making an alliance. Would you trust
Rachel? I wouldn't trust Rachel.”)
Teams
eventually make their way to Entebbe International Airport and arrive
in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Becca/Floyd
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Leo/Jamal
Teams
are all on the same flight and take the Amazing Orange Line to
Switzerland. They arrive and make their way to Kloten Station, the
stop for the train at the airport. All teams get on the same train.
And then the Reilly Sisters start trying to stir the pot with Nicole
and Victor. (Toyouke: “Is
Rachel really that loyal? I guess not because they're trying to spin
this BS story and they're terrible liars. See, why are you so
offended they don't believe you? Why didn't you just say "we all
had beers and they think we're all cool so they told us this"?
Now you're telling the truth but everyone thinks you're full of it
because you lied about the circumstances and now no one is allied
with you. On the other hand, are Nicole and Victor really that
stupid that they can't imagine other teams see them as a threat and
want to U-Turn them?”) And
then Colin decides everyone needs to join in a centering circle on
the train. (Toyouke: “Colin
is hilarious.”)
Teams
arrive in Grindelwald in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Nicole/Victor
4-
Chris/Bret
5-
Becca/Floyd
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Leo/Jamal
Teams
have decided that a U-turn is imminent. So they run from the train
station to Gletscherschlucht Glacier Gorge (Toyouke: “That's
a long run.”) and arrive
in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Becca/Floyd
3-
Leo/Jamal – who could have
been second, but Jamal decided to try and climb up in a weird way.
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Nicole/Victor
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Chris/Bret
When
they rip open the clue, teams get the eighth roadblock.
ROADBLOCK:
Who
wants to take the scenic route?
In
this roadblock, the roadblocker must freefall into the gorge 400 feet
at 70 miles per hour. Once complete, the roadblocker finds the clue
and reunites with their partner.
The
following teammates take the Roadblock:
1-
Korey
2-
Becca
3-
Leo
4-
Christie
5-
Nicole – who legit freaks
out. (Toyouke: “Oh
of course. As much as I hoped for another Mika, the minute they went
to commercial you know she's gonna do it.”)
6-
Elissa
7-
Chris
After
much freefalling, teams complete the Roadblock in the following
order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Becca/Floyd
3-
Leo/Jamal
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Nicole/Victor
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Chris/Bret
Teams
are now instructed to fly by helicopter to Grimsel Pass. Teams
arrive at the helipad in the following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Becca/Floyd
3-
Leo/Jamal
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Nicole/Victor
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Chris/Bret
Teams
fly in their individual helicopters to Grimsel Pass and arrive in the
following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Becca/Floyd
3-
Leo/Jamal
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Nicole/Victor
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Chris/Bret
Teams
open their envelopes and we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Water
Power OR Water Down
*Water
Power: Teams must travel to Handegg and ride the Gelmerbahn, the
world’s steepest funicular. On the ride, teams must memorize eight
signs with names of water basins and their volumes. Once at the top,
teams make their way to the nearby dam and solve a puzzle involving
the bodies of water. Once completed correctly, teams get their next
clue.
*Water
Down: Teams go canyoneering in the Grimsel Canyon. After a 150 foot
rappel, teams jump from a ledge into a glacial river and then jump to
grab the clue. Afterwards, teams complete their journey via zip line
and jump into a pool of water.
(Toyouke:
“Funicular! The only way you would ride the funicular is
if there's a limit to how many teams can do the canyoning, right?”)
1-
Tyler/Korey choose Water Down –
and choose tall, hunky Sebastien as their canyon guide. (Toyouke:
“Oh Tyler
and Korey. Never stop being thirsty gays.”) Sebastien: “Are you
together?” Tyler: “No, we’re straight, can’t you tell?”
2-
Becca/Floyd choose Water Down –
because Becca does this for a living.
3-
Leo/Jamal choose Water Power
4-
Colin/Christie choose Water Down
5-
Nicole/Victor choose Water Power
6-
Rachel/Elissa choose Water Down
7-
Chris/Bret choose Water Down
Much
funicular riding and canyoneering ensues. So, teams complete the
detour in the following order:
1-
Leo/Jamal
2-
Tyler/Korey
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Nicole/Victor
6-
Rachel/Elissa
7-
Chris/Bret
Teams
are now instructed to make their way to Michaelskirche in Meiringen,
the PIT STOP of the seventh leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last
team to arrive MAY be eliminated! (Toyouke: "Boo, automatic cars. Learn to navigate!")
1-
Tyler/Korey – who win a
rejuvenating spa day in Switzerland before the next leg.
2-
Colin/Christie
3-
Becca/Floyd
4-
Leo/Jamal
5-
Rachel/Elissa – and Rachel
completes her thirty-first leg, and ties the record.
6-
Chris/Bret
7-
Nicole/Victor
And
Nicole and Victor are the last team to arrive. And go after Rachel
over the whole U-Turn thing. (Toyouke: “No
one cares about this drama. It shouldn't even be drama. "We
didn't do anything" is ridiculous. And I'm not sure why Rachel
is pretending to be so trusting when she's double crossing people
right and left. Still good old delusional Rachel.”)
And then find out
this is the third of three pre-determined non-elimination legs and
they are still in the Race. They will have a Speed Bump on the next
leg.
ORDER
NOW:
1st
– Tyler/Korey
2nd
– Colin/Christie
3rd
– Becca/Floyd
4th
– Leo/Jamal
5th
– Rachel/Elissa
6th
– Chris/Bret
7th
– Nicole/Victor
Next
week: More Switzerland. And a TAR US first: the U-Turn Vote! Until
next time!
