TAR 38, Recap Leg 3, 10/8/25

 

Welcome to Leg 3! Last time, on The Amazing Race European Train System Navigation Challenge, 12 teams raced from Amsterdam to Prague. Multiple teams struggled to figure out how to travel by train, including getting off at incorrect stops and having trains cancelled. Three teams: Jas and Jag, Joseph and Adam, and Stephanie and Natalie moved to the front of the pack, with Jas and Jag taking home first place for the second leg in a row. Kristine and Rubina fell behind, but it was ultimately a footrace between Megan and Matt and Angela and Lexi that saw the mother-daughter team eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next?

Zofin Palace, Prague, Czech Republic


5:14 AM Jas/Jag (1st) – who want to avoid using the Driver’s Seat, so they are going to wait for the other teams in their alliance. (Toyouke: “Don't wait for them! I see your logic but did you just wait 30 minutes for the next teams? Terrible.”)


Clue: Drive yourselves to Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. Once there, make your way to Kutna Hora Municipal Brewery to get your next clue. You have 1000 koruna for this leg of the race. Caution: Driver’s Seat Ahead!


We get a cutaway from TAR37 of Jonathan and Ana assigning the first Driver’s Seat. (Toyouke: “Don't remind me of this yahoo and your failure to make the Driver's Seat work properly.”) 


5:45 AM Joseph/Adam (2nd)

5:46 AM Natalie/Stephanie (3rd) – Natalie reveals that her birthday will occur on the next leg.

7:46 AM Tucker/Eric (4th)

8:07 AM Hannah/Simone (5th)

8:17 AM Izzy/Paige (6th) – Izzy reveals that she has three degrees.

8:21 AM Jack/Chelsie (7th)

8:43 AM Kristine/Rubina (8th)

10:33 AM Kyland/Taylor (9th) – Kyland reveals that he was diagnosed with autism as an adult, so he says he takes things literally and Taylor uses a whole bunch of metaphors.

10:44 AM Kat/Alex (10th)

11:36 AM Megan/Matt (11th) – (Toyouke: “That's a bigger gap than I thought. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention to times last episode?”)


Teams drive themselves to Kutna Hora Municipal Brewery. Teams arrive in the following order:


1- Natalie/Stephanie

2- Jas/Jag

3- Joseph/Adam

4- Tucker/Eric

5- Izzy/Paige

6- Hannah/Simone

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

10- Kat/Alex

11- Megan/Matt


The first three teams, which have now designated themselves as the Trainwreck Alliance, arrive and get hit with Hours of Operation. (Toyouke: “I'm mad that they didn't get any consequences for wasting half an hour. Stupid HoH.”) Teams strategize and decide that if there is a Driver’s Seat, the sisters should do the honors.


The gates open at 9 am, and teams get their clue in the following order:


1- Natalie/Stephanie

2- Jas/Jag

3- Joseph/Adam

4- Tucker/Eric

5- Izzy/Paige

6- Hannah/Simone

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

10- Kat/Alex

11- Megan/Matt


And teams come to the third roadblock.


ROADBLOCK:
Who’s feeling tapped out?

In this roadblock, one team member must bottle, cap and pack a certain number of cases of beer. Once the brewmaster approves all of the required cases, teams will get their next clue.


Teams race closer to the brewery entrance and run into the Driver’s Seat.


DRIVER’S SEAT:

The Driver’s Seat allows the first team to arrive to assign certain tasks to certain teams. In this Driver’s Seat, the lead team can assign 1 case, 2 cases or 3 cases of beer to each team.


(Toyouke: “I still think my idea about the Driver's Seat is better. Also why did your graphic have empty spots? I know it's for the two teams eliminated, but you knew they would be eliminated, so why are they there?”) Since Natalie and Stephanie were the first team, they make the decisions.


1 CASE

1) Izzy/Paige

2) Hannah/Simone


2 CASES

1) Natalie/Stephanie

2) Kristine/Rubina

3) Kyland/Taylor

4) Kat/Alex

5) Megan/Matt


3 CASES

1) Joseph/Adam

2) Jas/Jag

3) Tucker/Eric

4) Jack/Chelsie


Once teams discover the number of cases they are responsible for, the following team members complete the Roadblock.

2- Adam
3- Jas

4- Eric

5- Izzy

6- Hannah

7- Rubina

11- Matt


After much beer bottle filling, teams complete the Roadblock in the following order:


1- Natalie/Stephanie – who get directions and start writing them down for the other members of their alliance.

2- Jas/Jag

3- Joseph/Adam – who were late coming out, so their directions were left on their trunk. (Toyouke: “This is ridiculous. I mean at least they're leaving but come on. "No one's going to notice that except for them"? I'm immediately going over to look at a piece of paper hanging out of someone's trunk. They're just lucky they were the next ones done.”)

4- Tucker/Eric

5- Izzy/Paige

6- Hannah/Simone

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

4- Joseph/Adam

5- Izzy/Paige

6- Hannah/Simone

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

10- Kat/Alex

11- Megan/Matt


Teams are now instructed to dress as farm workers and use a plow to plow a field in order to find a clue buried underneath. (Toyouke: “How are we supposed to plow the field with a broken ox if there's no ox?”) Teams plow and find their clue in the following order:


1- Jas/Jag

2- Natalie/Stephanie

3- Tucker/Eric

4- Joseph/Adam – who also drop their car key in the process and have to find it. (Toyouke: “How did you manage to drop the car key in the field?”)

5- Izzy/Paige

6- Hannah/Simone

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

10- Kat/Alex


Teams are now instructed to drive themselves back to Kunta Hora and find Zimni Stadion to get their next clue. Teams arrive in the following order:


1- Jas/Jag

2- Natalie/Stephanie

3- Tucker/Eric

4- Joseph/Adam

5- Izzy/Paige

6- Hannah/Simone

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

10- Kat/Alex


When teams arrive at Zimni Stadion, teams come to the fourth roadblock.


ROADBLOCK:
Who wants to light the lamp?

In this roadblock, one team member must suit up in hockey gear, and go out on the ice to catch a pass from a professional hockey player, and then shoot a goal and light up the lamp. Once a goal has been made, the referee will give them their clue: a coin.


The following team members complete the Roadblock.

2- Natalie
3- Tucker

4- Joseph

5- Paige

6- Simone

6- Izzy/Paige

7- Kristine/Rubina

8- Jack/Chelsie

9- Kyland/Taylor

10- Kat/Alex


Teams look at their coins and have to figure out that they are now instructed to drive themselves to Kacina Chateau in Svaty Mikulas, the PIT STOP of the third leg of this racearoundtheworld. The last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!


1- Natalie/Stephanie – who win $2500 each.

2- Jas/Jag – who actually got their first, but let the sisters go ahead of them for Natalie’s birthday.

3- Tucker/Eric

4- Joseph/Adam

5- Hannah/Simone

6- Izzy/Paige
