TAR 33, Recap Leg 3, 1/12/22

 

Welcome to Leg 3! Last time, on Get Your Clue from the Master Baker, 10 teams continued to travel through London, this time during the day. Caro and Ray had a meltdown, but Ryan and Dusty managed to hit bullseyes quickly and finish first. The Twinnies finish last (good) but are not eliminated (BOO!). But teams are also told to keep racing! Who will be eliminated. . . next?


Arrival at the pit stop last episode:

1st – Ryan and Dusty, Team Not Guilty

2nd – Connie and Sam, Team Blind Side

3rd – Arun and Natalia, Team Bollywood Bonding

4th – Raquel and Cayla, The Flight Attendants

5th – Kim and Penn, The YouTube Parents

6th – Caro and Ray, Team Long Distance Reality

7th – Anthony and Spencer, Team Good Samaritan

8th – Akbar and Sheri, The Teacher Cagers

9th – Taylor and Isaiah, Team Gay YouTube Husbands

10th – Lulu and Lala, Team iHeartTwinning


Double Decker Bus, Russell Square Metro Station, London, England, United Kingdom


Ryan/Dusty (1st)


Clue: Make your way to Euston Railway Station and take a train to Glasgow, Scotland! Once there, find your next clue in the NCP Car Park at Glasgow Central Station.


No departure times today. Probably because of the keep racing.


Connie/Sam (2nd)

Arun/Natalia (3rd) – who remark this is the best thing they could do together. Well, hope this isn’t their swan song.

Raquel/Cayla (4th)

Kim/Penn (5th)

Caro/Ray (6th)

Anthony/Spencer (7th)

Akbar/Sheri (8th)

Taylor/Isaiah (9th)

Lulu/Lala (10th)


Teams make their way to Euston Station. Teams arrive in the following order:


1- Ryan/Dusty

2- Connie/Sam

3- Arun/Natalia

4- Raquel/Cayla

5- Kim/Penn

6- Caro/Ray

7- Anthony/Spencer

8- Akbar/Sheri

9- Taylor/Isaiah

10- Lulu/Lala


Teams arrive in Glasgow. They find their cars, which the must drive to Oran Mor. (Toyouke: "Very excited about having to drive themselves, with stick shift.”) Teams depart for the theatre in the following order:


1- Taylor/Isaiah

2- Connie/Sam

3- Kim/Penn

4- Anthony/Spencer

5- Ryan/Dusty

6- Arun/Natalia

7- Caro/Ray

8- Akbar/Sheri

9- Raquel/Cayla

10- Lulu/Lala



After much attempting to drive a stick shift (Toyouke: “I've missed a good old-fashioned stick shift montage.”), teams arrive at Oran Mor in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn - (Toyouke: “I don't like Kim and Penn but I have to give them credit for driving around looking for a clue box, instead of looking for road signs or something.”)

2- Anthony/Spencer

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Lulu/Lala

5- Arun/Natalia

6- Raquel/Cayla

7- Connie/Sam

8- Caro/Ray – and Ray struggles to drive stick shift. Caro mentions it, and he gets out of the car, and blames her. (Toyouke: “You can't get out of the car and walk away in a tantrum and then tell your girlfriend to relax.”)

9- Taylor/Isaiah

10- Akbar/Sheri


When they rip open the clue, teams get the second roadblock.


ROADBLOCK:


Who thinks they have this one in the bag?


In this roadblock, one team member must assemble a bagpipe correctly and then play a note while a Bagpipe Orchestra plays a Scottish anthem. Once complete, teams get their next clue.


The following teammates take the Roadblock:


1- Kim

2- Spencer

3- Dusty

4- Lulu

5- Natalia

6- Cayla

7- Sam

8- Caro

9- Isaiah

10- Akbar


After much bagpipe assembly and playing, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn

2- Ryan/Dusty

3- Anthony/Spencer

4- Arun/Natalia – and Natalia decides to give the other teams a little help. (Toyouke: “No don't hang around and help them! Just go!”)

5- Lulu/Lala

6- Connie/Sam

7- Raquel/Cayla

8- Caro/Ray

9- Akbar/Sheri

10- Taylor/Isaiah


Teams are now instructed to drive themselves to Alexandra Park and find the Walter MacFarlane Saracen Fountain to get their next clue. Teams arrive in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn

2- Anthony/Spencer

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Raquel/Cayla

5- Connie/Sam

6- Caro/Ray

7- Lulu/Lala

8- Arun/Natalia -who are now concerned that everyone passed them because they were helpful. (Toyouke: “They're not passing you because you helped them. They're passing you because you're stopped getting directions and they haven't stopped for directions.”)

9- Taylor/Isaiah

10- Akbar/Sheri


Teams open their clues and we get the third Detour Clue.


DETOUR:


Kilt OR Rebuilt


*Kilt: Teams make their way to Brittania Panopticon Music Hall, dress in Highland costume and perform “Donald, Where’s Your Troosers?” from memory to get their clue from a Scottish lad.

*Rebuilt: Teams make their way to Fishers Cooperage, and must remove two metal hoops from two barrels in order to repair and replace the barrel head. Once complete, teams get their next clue from the Master Cooper.


1- Kim/Penn choose Kilt

2- Anthony/Spencer choose Rebuilt

3- Ryan/Dusty choose Rebuilt

4- Connie/Sam choose Rebuilt

5- Raquel/Cayla choose Rebuilt

6- Caro/Ray choose Rebuilt

7- Lulu/Lala choose Kilt

8- Arun/Natalia choose Rebuilt – but decide it is too hard, and in the first Bald Snark of the season, decide to switch to Kilt, because it wasn’t what they expected. (Toyouke: “How is it not what you expected? Fix some barrels. There didn't seem to be a twist.”)

9- Taylor/Isaiah choose Kilt

10- Akbar/Sheri choose Kilt


Much performing and barrel repairing ensues. So, teams complete the detour in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn

2- Ryan/Dusty

3- Anthony/Spencer

4- Connie/Sam

5- Raquel/Cayla

6- Caro/Ray

7- Lulu/Lala

8- Taylor/Isaiah

9- Akbar/Sheri

10- Arun/Natalia


Teams are now instructed to drive themselves to the University of Glasgow and find the Cloisters, the PIT STOP of the third leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated!


1- Kim/Penn – who win a trip for two from Travelocity to Cape Cod! Woo.

2- Ryan/Dusty

3- Anthony/Spencer

4- Connie/Sam

5- Caro/Ray

6- Raquel/Cayla

7- Lulu/Lala

8- Taylor Isaiah

9- Akbar/Sheri

10- Arun/Natalia


Arun and Natalia finish last, and are sadly eliminated from the Race. Arun is just so genuinely happy he was able to have this experience with his daughter.


ORDER NOW:

1st – Kim/Penn

2nd – Ryan/Dusty

3rd – Anthony/Spencer

4th – Connie/Sam

5th – Caro/Ray

6th – Raquel/Cayla

7th – Lulu/Lala

8th – Taylor/Isaiah

9th – Akbar/Sheri


The next day, February 28, 2020, Phil calls all the teams together and puts the Race on pause due to the Coronavirus. (Toyouke: “You know it's serious because they left in the shots of the camera crews.”) He hopes that they will be able to come together again to finish the Race, and when they do, they will be the first set of Racers to get a chance to regroup before they have to keep racing!


Nineteen months later, at St. Gallen Cathedral in Switzerland, five teams gather to restart the Race. . . (Toyouke: “Well at least we'll get a proper starting line. I do kind of wish they'd allowed previously eliminated teams the chance to be back on. Maybe it's how in my other reality shows they would have done it immediately. Also I like the two teams who would come back.”)



Next week: Switzerland! And what are we going to do about those missing teams? (Toyouke: “WAIT THEY DID COME BACK?!?!?!?! “) Until next time!
