The teams fly to Austria, with Jet/Cord once again taking a different flight. They don't trust a connecting flight because of the bad luck they've had with them in the past. Breaking away from the pack is a big risk to take, though.
To find their destination, the teams have to drive their Ford Focus in reverse. Why? Because it's a good opportunity to shove in some product placement. Gary/Mallory take several attempts to get it right and are the last to get going of the front pack.
Zev/Justin make it to the castle first. The choices for the detour are eating food on a ferris wheel or moving a couch across the city to a library. All teams except the Globetrotters and the goths choose the food challenge, as it sounds much easier. However, it turns out to be much harder than it sounds, as Kisha/Jen and Zev/Justin both fail it without even getting close, forcing them to take the other detour. Gary/Mallory get the closest with Gary eating all his portion, but Mallory doesn't pull her weight.
This means the Globetrotters and the goths are now at the front of the pack, and it also puts the newly-arriving Jet/Cord back in contention. The Globetrotters finish first and despite Kent/Vyxsin dropping it several times, they make it there next. Kisha/Jen are third and Jet/Cord manage to overtake Zev/Justin to become 4th. When Gary/Mallory see five couches greeting them when they get there, they know they're last.
Zev/Justin manage to re-overtake the Cowboys on the road. Gary/Mallory's only hope is for a difficult roadblock to allow them to catch up, but it turns out to be the easiest challenge ever - sweeping three chimneys. The Globetrotters and Zev/Justin complete it first, but in the race to the pit stop, Zev/Justin somehow get first much to their surprise. Flight Time/Big Easy check in second and are disappointed that they won't be winning the cars. Kent/Vyxsin finish third, their best finish ever on a really dysfunctional leg. "Maybe we should fight more!" says Vyxsin.
Gary/Mallory check in last but are granted a reprieve when they are told it's a non-elimination leg. They know they have to do a speed bump, but they feel lucky to even have a second (or third) chance.
