Welcome
to Leg 9! Last time, on You
Shouldn’t Have U-Turned Us Because That Means We’ll Lose!,
7 teams continued racing through Switzerland. Teams faced a Double
U-Turn, but had to vote for who they thought should take it. Colin
and Christie and the Reilly sisters got U-Turned and Nic and Vic had a Speed Bump. Once the dust settled, Gaytube finished in first for
the third leg in a row, and the Reilly sisters can’t recover from
shooting an apple off of a scarecrow, so they are eliminated. Who
will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Clue:

You must purchase your flight to Split in the Zurich Airport. Once
there, make your way to Bacvice Beach and find Caffe Bar Zbirac to
get your next clue in order to meet up with the Travelocity Roaming
Gnome.
(Toyouke:
“Stupid
gnome. So they told them what airline to use but I guess they can
pick different flights?”) Tyler:
“Croatia? I barely know her!”

So
teams now vie for flights. Apparently there are two agents and
somehow Nic and Vic are in line for both, but Team Fun gets in ahead
of them, and then steals a flight from them? I don’t know, this
drama seemed contrived. (Toyouke: “OK
I didn't miss obnoxious begging and harassment of airline workers. I
don't know if you can claim to be in some general line but stand
directly behind only one person. Or you could have been rude and
said WE WERE HERE FIRST and shoved them if it was that important.”)
So
teams get the following flights.
Flight
1, via Berlin, arrives 11:20 AM
1)
Tyler/Korey
2)
Chris/Bret
Flight
2, via Dusseldorf, arrives 11:30 AM
1)
Nicole/Victor – which is the
last flight available, but they have to fly standby. (Toyouke: “OK
you're ahead but you have to risk standby.”) And then they get the
tickets. (Toyouke: “Lucky. Also I have the feeling they're going
to be really obnoxious about how they were rewarded for not
cheating.”)
Flight
3, via Hamburg, arrives 12:25 PM
1)
Leo/Jamal

teams must use a pulley to help the gnome deliver a loaf of bread to
a monk, who will than lower down the next clue. (Toyouke: “If

And
we get the Detour Clue.
DETOUR:
Poetry
in Motion OR Washed in From the Ocean
For this Detour, all teams must take their taxi to Kasjuni Beach and
change into swimwear.
*Poetry
in Motion: Teams must ride a large flying tube pulled by a speedboat.
While riding, teams must memorize a poem. Once the ride is
complete, teams must recite the poem perfectly to a poetry master.
If correct, teams get their next clue. If not, teams must ride the
tube again in order to try again.
*Washed
in From the Ocean: Teams must put on snorkeling gear and use a metal
detector to find a goblet and five ancient coins washed in from a
shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean. Once all items are collected,
teams get their next clue.
1-
Chris/Bret choose Washed in From the Ocean –
and are doing a pretty good job by managing to find the goblet and 3
coins quickly. And then they get stuck. So they Bald Snark to
Poetry in Motion. After trying it once, they decide that they
already have two-thirds of the other Detour, so they Double Bald
Snark back to Washed in From the Ocean. And then the third flight
arrives at the Detour. Once realizing that they might be last, they
pull the rare Triple Bald Snark and head back to Poetry in Motion.
Which they eventually complete.
2-
Tyler/Korey choose Washed in From the Ocean –
but find nothing, so they Bald Snark to Poetry in Motion, which is
what prompts Team Bromance to make their first Bald Snark.
3-
Nicole/Victor choose Poetry in Motion
4-
Becca/Floyd choose Poetry in Motion
5-
Leo/Jamal choose Poetry in Motion
6-
Colin/Christie choose Washed in From the Ocean –
but find nothing, so they Bald Snark to Poetry in Motion, which is
what prompts Team Bromance to make their third Bald Snark.
Much
poetry memorizing and treasure hunting ensues. So, teams complete
the detour in the following order:
1-
Nicole/Victor – on their
seventh attempt.
2-
Tyler/Korey – on their
fourth attempt.
3-
Becca/Floyd – on their
fourth attempt.
4-
Colin/Christie – on their
fourth attempt. (Toyouke: “Colin
and Christie are hilarious. They would never have gotten that into it
back in the day.”) And
then proceed to leave their gnome in the changing room.
5-
Leo/Jamal – on their
eleventh attempt, because Leo doesn’t know the difference between
can and could.
6-
Chris/Bret – on their tenth
attempt, which they complete after Colin and Christie went to the
Roadblock, realized they forgot their gnome, retrieved their gnome
and completed the roadblock.
Teams
are now instructed to take a taxi to Diocletian’s Palace.
Teams arrive in the
following order:
1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-
Becca/Floyd
4-
Leo/Jamal
5-
Colin/Christie
6-
Chris/Bret
When
they rip open the clue, teams get the tenth roadblock.
ROADBLOCK:
Who’s
ready to get their marching orders?
In
this roadblock, the roadblocker must dress in ancient Roman garb and
go to the Senator’s room and stand behind a podium. Once there,
they must watch a troop of 18 Roman soldiers march in formation.
Five of the soldiers have red headbands, and at the end of the march,
the roadblocker must determine where those soldiers ended up. If the
senator determines they are correct, they get their next clue. If
not, they must repeat the task.
The
following teammates take the Roadblock:
1-
Korey – who works with . . .
2-
Nicole
3-
Floyd – who, as we are
reminded, was a drum major and had to pay attention to formations.
4-
Leo – who works with . . .
5-
Christie
6-
Bret
After
much shell game action, teams complete the Roadblock in the following
order:

3-
Becca/Floyd
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Leo/Jamal
6-

Teams
are now instructed to make their way to dock and find the marked

1-
Tyler/Korey
2-
Nicole/Victor
3-
Becca/Floyd
4-
Colin/Christie
5-
Leo/Jamal

Teams
are now instructed to row themselves to Matejuska Pier, the PIT STOP
