Amazing Race, Ep. 22.8

8th Leg: Zurich, Switzerland
Bates/Anthony lead it off again.

Everyone is taking off together.

The train at the connecting location leaves without Mona/Beth and Meghan/Joey. Bummer. However, the place they need to get into doesn't open until the morning, so that will be plenty of time for the others to catch up again.

The teams have to take St. Bernard dogs on a rescue mission on the top of a mountain. How cute are those dogs! Uh-oh Caroline/Jennifer's dog was so scared, he didn't want to get on the train!

Road Block: Climb Eiger
They have to climb the side of a mountain to get to a gnome that has their next clue on the bottom. And it wasn't just any mountain, it was WAY, WAY up there! The view was incredible!

Bates/Anthony finish first.

Switchback: Cheese Hill
I loved this challenge the last time...it provided a lot of laughs! They have to move humungous cheese blocks on little sleds. Most of the teams struggled just climbing up the steep, snowy hill.

Bates/Anthony had a good method of sliding down backwards with the 2 blocks of cheese on the sled underneath them.

Lots of tumbles and the sleds ended up sliding over some people! Caroline/Jennifer seemed to have the most problems out of anyone (Jennifer more than Caroline). But then there was Chuck/Wynona. Can they just get eliminated, please?! I'm so tired of her not being able to do anything. She was absolutely helpless. Chuck literally had to pull her up the hill, which couldn't have been easy. And then, she couldn't even slide DOWN the hill, she just sat there like a bump on a log. Her bright idea was to roll the cheese down the hill. Great, they end up everywhere...PLUS that was breaking the rules!

Meghan/Joey seem to be a little lost trying to find the pitstop. Hurry up you guys, we want Alabama gone!
