TAR 18 Episode 9 - Say Cheese


The teams are travelling by train to Liechtenstein. Zev/Justin end up in first, despite their cab driver thinking they're "terrorists". At least according to Justin - I thought he said "tourists". Gary/Mallory are lagging behind, which is not good news considering the have a speed bump to do.

The task is to measure Liechtenstein. But first, Gary/Mallory have to calculate the amount of gas they need for the bike. Jet takes a wrong turn during the route, and so does Flight Time, despite claiming "the map is pretty straightforward". Jen loses her map, and Vyxsin can't read hers. Can anyone do this task?

Jen sticks close to Justin, who has got it right, and uses his answer to get the clue. Jet is wrong, and has to go back to the starting point. Flight Time gets the answer from Justin, and passes it on to Gary who is now in the race. The conspiracy against the Cowboys has begun and soon Cord is the only racer left waiting on his partner.

The teams are now on their way to Switzerland. Zev/Justin and Kisha/Jen get to the detour first, and both choose the cheese-eating task despite concerns it could be a trap like on the last leg. Kisha/Jen quickly decide to switch, and whilst Justin is debating doing the same, Zev convinces him to say put and commit to the task.

The other task is to take luggage to different hotels. Kisha/Jen made good progress on this, and soon the Globetrotters, Gary/Mallory and Kent/Vyxsin are working on it too. Zev/Justin and Kisha/Jen both finish their respective tasks and go past the U-turn without using it. Zev/Justin check into the pit stop and claim their fourth win of the season.

Kent/Vyxsin are the next team to finish, whereas the Globetrotters appear to be having some trouble. Not only had they taken some luggage to the wrong hotel, but they come up short in the counting due to Big Easy losing two of his tags. Now Jet/Cord are able to catch up with them...and with Gary/Mallory already checked in, there's only one spot left.

With both remaining teams having completed the task, the race to get to the U-turn first ends up being crucial. The Globetrotters make it and decide to U-turn the Cowboys, putting the final nail in their coffin. When Jet/Cord see what they've done, they know they're screwed...and enjoy one last meal in Switzerland before saying goodbye to Phil.
