As a new leg begins the racers are put to the ultimate test having to book a fight. Yup teams now have to head to a new destination Lisbon, Portugal once they land they have to head to Martim Moniz Square and ride a tram to the top of the hill and receive their next clue. I think this is my favorite part of the race as the teams try to book the earliest flight and get to the destination before everyone else so lets see how these new racers do on their first run. Team NFL were the first to leave the mat and got to the travel agent first but unfortunately for them their travel agent booked their flight on the wrong date letting the Doctors take the flight that was meant for them where they will be arriving in Lisbon via Sao Paolo at 7 am. The Party Boys searched for a flight to Lisbon on the net and will arrive at 11am via London with their racer wives the Ice Princesses also joining them. For Team NFL their new travel agent booked them a flight to Lisbon via Sao Paolo as well but arriving at 12 pm along with the Beard Bros(new name should know who it is) who are also on the flight but the agent will continue looking for earlier flight for the two teams. Meanwhile, Team Party Boys try and be sneaky by convincing Team Oklahoma to get on the same flight as them so they won't have to race against their race wives in a race to the finish but these small town boys were not falling for their trick and booked themselves a flight to Lisbon via Madrid arriving at 10 am and joining them are the Beard Bros as the travel agent pulled through for them and got them an earlier flight. As for Team NFL the travel agent also pulled through for them and they will be arriving in Lisbon at 7 am but by two connecting flight via Buenos Aires and Madrid.
Now if you know in the past double connecting flights can be serious trouble as flights can be delayed to the point where they miss their next flight so these guys might run into some serious problems, none the less the NFL players are the first ones to leave out of Brazil lets just hope everything goes good with their connections. The Trophy Wives then arrive in the airport and book the flight that arrives in Lisbon at 12 pm via Sao Paolo along with the Doctors, Dating Couple, and Pinky and No Brain. So as all teams have left Brazil we now join Team NFL in Buenos Aires but their flight to Madrid was delayed for 4 hours oh man I knew this would happen but then they found a flight that will take them to Sao Paulo but with their luck that flight was delayed before take off. On the Sao Paolo flight teams race to the booking agent to see if they can get an earlier flight but sadly for them there was no one at the counter but the Trophy Wives took a detour to the executive lounger to put their names on a standby by list to get an earlier flight I have to same that was a pretty smart and effective move as the did manage to get on the same flight as the Doctors arriving at 7 am also on the flight was the Dating Couple the only ones left behind was Pinky and No Brain cause some drama between them and the Trophy Wives looks like they aren't getting the express pass. But the airport fun continues as Team NFL finally reach Sao Paulo after a two hour delay and now they have to race to the next flight that Pinky and No Brain are boarding right now but in this instance they were not fast enough as the flight left without them I really hope these guys aren't eliminated.
We are finally in Lisbon, Portugal as the 7 am flight just arrived and as the Doctors, Dating Couple, and the Trophy Wives race to the square as the Doctors and Dating Couple are the first to grab the tram to the top of the hill. Once the teams receive their paintings they have to figure out that they have to go to Museu Nacional Dos Coches and match the coach to the one in the painting to get their next clue. So as our two front runners grab their clues the next stop is a detour. Back at the airport the Oklahoma boys and Beard Bros touch down in Portugal and are now off to the square. In the London airport as the Party Boys and Ice Princesses are waiting for their flight the NFL players also touch down in England to catch their flight. Oklahoma and Beard Bros then decide to work together because what other choice did they have it was not like they were in last so to help each other out is a good strategy. Once again we are back in the airport as the next flight arrives in Lisbon who can it be? Why its the London flight with the Ice Princesses and the Party Boys as the two teams head to the hill to pick up their painting. Once again back in the airport Pinky and No Brain also arrive leaving the Football Players in last place since their flight hasn't arrived yet and are stuck in London because their flight is delayed once again it not looking good for these guys.
Detour: Teams have to choose between tiles or miles? Tiles: Teams have to assemble a tile puzzle when the puzzle looks right the tile expert will give them their next clue. Miles: Teams have to use a giant measuring tool to measure how many miles Magellan sailed over 10 destinations when they get the answer within 500 miles they will get their next clue. Lets talk about the teams who chose miles the Doctors and the Dating Couple as the teams decide to work together on the task they breeze by it pretty quickly and are off to the next destination. The Oklahoma boys did miles as well and after a little number problem they fixed it fast and managed to get their next clue. The Party Boys and their wives do miles and work together during the task and as the boys are felling confident that they will get it the girls not so much. But both teams fail horribly at the task as the Ice Princesses switch task leaving their husbands behind. The Trophy Wives opted to choose tiles as they begin to struggle with the tiles. After a minor setback with the tile the girls pull through and complete the task sending them to the next location. The Beard Bros also do tiles and they feel confident in their ability to put together the pieces and they were as they assemble the pieces and get the clue. As the girls are working on the tiles their party boy husbands then arrive to do the task as well, soon after Pinky and No Brain show up, the girls then receive their next clue and are on their way out the door. While still at the detour the Party Boys try to psych out Pinky and No Brain into using their express pass and it worked at least for no Brain as he was doubting that they could finish the task making Pinky and him argue about the situation. The next stop in Portugal is the Clube Portuges de Tiro A Chumbo and search for the next clue which is a roadblock.
Roadblock: One team member has to put on a knight costume, armor and all and then use a ancient bow and arrow machine(ballista) and hit one of the shields 150 feet away once they do hit one they will receive their next clue. Jason(Dating) and Travis(Doctors) choose to do the task but its Jason who come out on top as he hits the arrow on his first try. Sending them on their way to the pit stop Castelo Dos Mouros. After struggling to land an arrow on the armor Travis get some words of encouragement from his wife he lands an arrow as well and they head to the pit stop. The Trophy wives arrive as Nicky chooses to shoot the arrow and gets it on her second try. Danny for Team Oklahoma does the task and gets it on his second try. As the Boys are leaving the Beard Bros are arriving as they suit up and land an arrow on their first try. Sometime later The Party Boys and Ice Princesses arrive as they face the challenge at the same time but the boys pull ahead and land the arrow first with the girls scoring after. Later Pinky and no Brain arrive as no Brain hits the arrow in the first try. Keep in mind as all this is going on Team NFL is more than likely still in the London Airport.
1st: The Doctors, despite leaving the roadblock after the Dating Couple, the Doctors manage to pull ahead and finally score a first place finish
2nd: The Dating Couple, After getting lost on the way to the castle by Jason's based sense of direction the team got second place instead of first.
3rd: The Trophy Wives
4th: Team Oklahoma
5th: Beard Bros
6th: The Party Boys
7th: The Ice Princesses
8th: Pinky and No Brain
Eliminated: Team NFL, after disaster in the airport the boys finally arrive in Lisbon but its bitter sweet because instead of doing the task Phil arrives and tells them that they are the last team and they are eliminated. So sad I was really pulling for these guys to win.
Well this was a fun airport crazy leg. I feel really bad for Team NFL they just had the worst airport trouble I have ever seen in TAR history I mean they didn't even have a chance to do any of the tasks. I am for one glad that the show was shown in its actual time frame I really hate when its delayed because I always hate having to record the next show. But I disliked the fact that the teams were scattered all over I love when there is a challenge between teams when teams are all on the same page, instead of this easy breezy go through where the teams are doing the task at different times. Now since the NFL team is gone I am now rooting for the Beard Bros to win I really like these guys they are super fun to watch. Who are you guys rooting for? And who do you think Pinky is going to give the express pass to because lets face it No Brain has no say in that decision?
