Amazing Race, Ep. 22.9

9th Leg: Switzerland

Bates/Anthony lead it off again.

The teams are on their way to Germany. They are taking a train, and oh no...Bates's bag got stolen on the train! Luckily, he had his passport. Caroline/Jennifer offered him some of their girly underwear...haha!

Max/Katie get to the first clue first.

Before they could drive away, they have to answer 3 questions about their next destination. Somehow, Bates/Anthony are now in 4th and Mona/Beth, who were in 2nd, are now in last. Bates/Anthony catch up to Caroline/Jennifer, their traveling buddies and they continue to work together to figure out where they are going next. After getting some directions from a local, Bates/Anthony take the lead, but somehow Caroline/Jennifer lose them...uh oh!

The next task is to base dive off of the Park Inn. Basically a free-fall face first, yikes!

Detour: Train Trials or Font Follies
Putting together a train track or carrying giant letters to a museum.

The carrying of the letters proved to be pretty easy (except it was kind of a long way to walk and the letters were heavy) and it was pretty close to where they already were.

Meghan/Joey decided to do the train detour. Once they found where to go, they had a lot of fun playing with the train, but were having trouble keeping the train on the tracks.

Oh no, Bates/Anthony have to go back because his letter V got broken! Great! I finally have a team to root for, and they are going down on a sinking ship this leg! I sure hope this is a non-elimination leg, because they are in a lot of trouble right now.So, instead of going back, they decide to complete the train task instead. Oh dear, it took them 9 attempts to get it right!

Roadblock: Search Labyrinth
They have to go through a maze to get to a white room. They have to answer who said a famous quote in order to get into the maze.

Katie was the first to try it, and she was successful. That place was seriously freaky, like a haunted/fun house!

Mona/Beth got really lost, and that gave Bates/Anthony time to catch up. They are running neck-and-neck, and they actually started helping each other just to get through it. They finish and now it's going to be a foot-race! The guys decide to follow the girls hoping they can beat them in a race.

They were right and they make it to the mat just in front of Mona/Beth! I knew, it non-elimination! Only, since Bates/Anthony weren't last, I would have been TOTALLY fine with it NOT being a non-elimination! Oh well..
