TAR 20 Episode 4: Barolo, Sweat And Tears


The teams are travelling to Italy, and Bopper is happy to be going "somewhere exotic". Eh? That's not the only blunder the pair make though, as it turns out they went to the airport without going to the travel agency first...meaning by the time they do get there, the only tickets left are for a flight that arrives over an hour later.

The first task for the teams is to drive to the Lingotto building, and Dave pisses off Rachel so much that she pulls over so that he can drive. Art/JJ reach the top first and decide to take the Fast Forward, which is piloting a helicopter. The border agents end up disappointed however when they see it's only a model.

Dave is disappointed to not be doing the Fast Forward since he's a Pilot. Brendon/Rachel finish the roadblock first with ease. The rest of the leg does not go as smooth however, starting with the argument they get into whilst driving. They find the coin they need at the Ford Museum, but fail to realize they need to go to the building on it. Brendon is so fed up, he even asks Rachel if she wants to quit.

Dave/Rachel have figured out where to go but are still having an argument of their own over Dave not taking the directions they were given. Leading the pack along with Joey/Danny, they now have to choose between cleaning a statue or identifying salami.

Art/JJ however have finished the Fast Forward and check in first. At the back of the pack, Bopper/Mark have caught up with "the bodonkadonk girls", Kerri/Stacy, and arrive at the museum just as they leave.

Most of the teams might light work of the statue cleaning. "She's a dirty girl, but not the type of dirty girl Danny likes" claims Joey. Brendon/Rachel choose the Salami detour instead and it doesn't take long before Rachel is having a meltdown again. Losing her sense of taste, Rachel claims to be done and Brendon says "We're out of The Amazing Race". But it doesn't take long for them to refocus, get back into it and finish a respectable 6th.

Bopper/Mark are the last team to arrive, and an emotional Bopper talks about his child's health problems. Art/JJ come in and tell Bopper they want to give him some of the prize money they won. But that turns out to be only the second best piece of news they hear at the pit stop...as Phil also tells them that it's a non-elimination leg and they're still in the race.

FINAL STANDINGS:

1. Art/JJ
2. Rachel/Dave
3. Joey/Danny
4. Vanessa/Ralph
5. Nary/Jamie
6. Brendon/Rachel
7. Kerri/Stacy
8. Bopper/Mark
