"This is More Important Than Your Pants Falling Down"

The teams start from Neuschwanstein Castle in Füssen, Germany, the last pit stop. There seems to be a little "something" happening between Drew and Flo. The first clue sends them to Augustinerhof Farm (which doesn't seem far away) and search for their next clue buried in a giant haystack in a barn and, believe it or not, seemed easy to find considering how tall the haystack was. From there, the teams Freidrichshafen where a ferry would take them across Lake Constance to Switzerland. There's a bit of deception happening with The Twins as well as John Vito & Jill and who each pass Ian & Teri and tell them that they don't know where the farm is. At the Ferry Terminal, all of the teams come together and ride the same ferry. On the other side, in Romanshorn, Switzerland, they take a train to Schauffhausen. (It looks like they left their cars - either on the ferry or at the terminal and walk to the train). At Schauffhausen, the teams see a route marker perched on the Rheinfall Rocks in the middle of the Rheinfall, Europe's largest waterfall, and figure out that they have to take a boat to the island. Everyone except John Vito & Jill make the first boat. As the teams get to the other side, they leave their backpacks on the boat and run up stairways up the the rocks on the island. While they're running, the boat leaves to pick up more passengers. John Vito & Jill are on a second boat, going to the island. It turns out that there can only be one boat at the island at a time and they are both in motion, so as the second boat gets to the island, Jill stays on the boat and holds it there while John Vito gets the clue and comes back. They leave as the first boat starts to come back to the island, giving John Vito & Jill a big break. The teams now need to take train 32 miles to the city of Zürich, find the historic town square called the Lindenhof and an officer who would point them to their next clue in an underground vault. Unfortunately, though they all don't know it, all of the teams are on the same train. Everyone is teasing Flo and asking her questions about Zack & Drew. It turns out that the vault, when they find it, is a Detour. Teams had to choose between two ways of obtaining a six-digit code that will open a safe, "Count the Money" or "Run the Numbers." "Count the Money" had to count the Swiss currency in a bowl next to the safe (lots of coins). The total amount of money corresponded to the code to open the safe. Teams choosing "Run the Numbers" had to search the streets of Zürich to find three sets of two-digit numbers to open the safe. (a number on a metal statue on a street corner (12), the sum total of the numbers on the north face of the clock on St. Peter's Church(really - how hard is it to add up 1+2+3+4+5... = 78 - no one got it right!), and the number of trees in the Lindenhof that had red ribbons on them (50). So the code would be 127850, to open the safe.) Well, between adding 1 to 12, and counting trees, everyone was failing and no one tried to just change a few digits when entering the code, so let's just say it took a long time. John Vito & Jill are first to figure it out and open the safe, revealing the next clue - make their way (train) to Grindelwald and find a route marker in a field east of the station. Unfortunately, they miss their train by seconds. There are two trains to Lucerne that the teams split up over, and then they transfer to another train to Grindelwald. Once there, all of the teams run to the field at basically the same time. The field is a Roadblock - well, it's Switzerland, home of the famous folk hero William Tell. A team member will use a crossbow to shoot and apple off of the head of a child (nuts, only a mannequin). An instructor will reload the crossbow for each shot. Zach hits the target first and gets the next clue - find the Chalet Arnika in Grindelwald - the Pit Stop. John Vito can't see well through one eye, so he has to shoot left-handed and is just struggling. Ken is the next one to hit the target, Ian tells Teri to "go get the bags" and then proceeds to hit the target. Derek hits the target and you can see the life just drain from John Vito and Jill as they see all of the other teams running through the field and through town. The teams are now running though the mountainous town, having trouble handling the altitude, especially Flo. (The Twins, however, who run regularly, seem to be fine.) Everyone seems to bunch up. Flo has Zach carry her backpack. A few times. John Vito finally hits the target and now everyone is on the roads. Teri's pants are falling down (it looks like the backpack is pushing them down), and Ian is just a prick and chides her on (the title of this show is what Ian tells Teri). Oh Brother (Ken & Gerrard) take a shortcut around a church to get there quicker - but actually get a little lost in the hilly terrain. Derek & Drew get to the Pit Stop first (and get their Kodak EasyShare digital camera "that can be enjoyed after the race"). Flo & Zach arrive second, Teri and Ian third. Then, from two different directions, come Oh Brother and John Vito and Jill. Ken & Gerard hit the mat first, coming in fourth, making John Vito and Jill coming in last for the leg of the race - BUT it's not an elimination leg! It's the first of three predetermined non-elimination points. Next week: Two Hours! and a a 620-foot bungee jump! (When the hell are they going to leave Europe?)
