TAR 33, Recap Leg 7, 2/9/22

 

Welcome to Leg 7! Last time, on Caution: Goat Cheese Making May Lead to a Last Place Finish, 6 teams raced from Switzerland to the island of Corsica. Somehow, Not Guilty ended up in last after a cheese making challenge, and then used their strength to pop back to third, beating Akbar and Sheri, who were eliminated. However, it propelled Kim and Penn to first place. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)


Arrival at the pit stop last episode:

1st – Kim and Penn, The YouTube Parents

2nd – Raquel and Cayla, The Flight Attendants

3rd – Ryan and Dusty, Team Not Guilty

4th – Arun and Natalia, Team Bollywood Bonding

5th – Lulu and Lala, Team iHeartTwinning


Cardiccia Dam, Giuncaggio, Corsica, France


8:00 AM Kim/Penn (1st)


Clue: Drive yourselves an hour and a half away to Zonza and find the Tour de Fautea. Once there, partake in Corsica’s other famous cheese.


8:00 AM Raquel/Cayla (2nd) – Cayla: “A convertible! Do we get to keep it?” And we learn that the flight attendants both lost their jobs. (Toyouke: “So we're just gonna mooch off Penn? We can't figure out what direction south is?”)

8:15 AM Ryan/Dusty (3rd)

8:15 AM Arun/Natalia (4th) – have decided they need momentum today. We’ll see how that goes.

8:15 AM Lulu/Lala (5th)


Teams drive themselves to Zonza and arrive at the tower in the following order:


1- Raquel/Cayla

2- Kim/Penn

3- Lulu/Lala

4- Ryan/Dusty

5- Arun/Natalia


Teams park their cars and run up the path to the Tour de Fautea. Once there, teams find a man serving them cazu martzu on bread, also referred to as maggot cheese. (Toyouke: “I thought this cheese was illegal?“ Kmanpat: “In Italy, it is, but it’s a Sardinian delicacy, so it’s protected. Not sure how the French feel.” Toyouke: “Also, I thought we had moved away from eating challenges.”) Each team member had to eat a piece of bread with the cheese before getting their next clue.


Teams eat the cheese and get their clues in the following order:


1- Raquel/Cayla

2- Kim/Penn

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Lulu/Lala

5- Arun/Natalia


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


DETOUR:


Row, Row, Row Your Boat OR Gently Down the Stream


*Row, Row, Row Your Boat: Teams travel to Pinarello Beach, choose a transparent kayak, and paddle a marked path in the Mediterranean Sea to pick up 10 metal fish of a certain type. Once all ten fish are collected and delivered, the fisherman will give them their next clue.

*Gently Down the Stream: Teams travel to Pinarello Beach, find the Aquavision, a glass bottom boat, and take a 15 minute cruise. While on the cruise teams must search for and remember the patterns on ten metal fish in order. Once back on shore, teams travel to the dive shop to collect a chart with the fish on it and identify the correct pattern. If correct, the diver will give them their next clue. If not, teams must take the cruise again to get another guess.


1- Raquel/Cayla choose Gently Down the Stream – after choosing Row, Row, Row Your Boat, but decided to do the other when they heard YouTube was doing the other. (Toyouke: “Why are we sticking together? It's one thing if you are both there but you're going to Bald Snark before you even get there?”)

2- Kim/Penn choose Gently Down the Stream

3- Arun/Natalia choose Gently Down the Stream – and take 2 tries.

4- Lulu/Lala choose Gently Down the Stream – and take 2 tries.

5- Ryan/Dusty choose Row, Row, Row Your Boat – and Dusty keeps filling the boat with water. Which capsizes. (Toyouke: “It also makes sense to do the Detour that no one else is doing.”)


Much kayaking and cruising ensues. So, teams complete the detour in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn

2- Raquel/Cayla

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Lulu/Lala

5- Arun/Natalia


Teams are now instructed to drive themselves to the town of Bonifacio and find the Port de Plaisance. Teams arrive in Bonifacio in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn

2- Raquel/Cayla

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Arun/Natalia

5- Lulu/Lala


Teams then make their way to the Port de Plaisance and arrive in the following order:


1- Raquel/Cayla

2- Kim/Penn

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Arun/Natalia

5- Lulu/Lala



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


ROADBLOCK:


Who’s feeling knotted up?


In this roadblock, one team member must choose a basket with a torn fishing net and repair the tear using the provided tools. Once the repair is made, teams get their next clue.


The following teammates take the Roadblock:


1- Cayla

2- Penn – and talks about his nerd glasses. (Toyouke: “OK but his attitude about balancing out hot shirtless boys is actually funny.”)

3- Ryan

4- Natalia

5- Lala


After much knot tying, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:


1- Kim/Penn

2- Raquel/Cayla

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Lulu/Lala

5- Arun/Natalia


Teams are now instructed to run to the Bonifacio Cliffs, the PIT STOP of the seventh leg of this racearoundtheworld. Napoleon will help point the way. The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated!


1- Kim/Penn – who win a trip for two from Travelocity to Turkey. And Stephane gives them some infusion. (Toyouke: “For all that they're annoying and always "on" they really seem to be competent.”)

2- Raquel/Cayla

3- Ryan/Dusty

4- Lulu/Lala

5- Arun/Natalia


Arun and Natalia are the last team to arrive. . . but it’s another Non Elimination Leg and they are still in the race! (Toyouke: “AGAIN?!?!? OK I like them but come on. It's suspicious at this point.”) Arun: “We’re like a cat with nine lives.”


ORDER NOW:

1st – Kim/Penn

2nd – Raquel/Cayla

3rd – Ryan/Dusty

4th – Lulu/Lala

5th – Arun/Natalia


Next week: Greece! Raquel learns how to roll grape leaves. And the Twins make an unexpected visit to the Pit Stop. Oops. Until next time!
