This Is
Not My Finest Moment
November 1
Last time, the Racers headed to Atlantis,
where a roadblock forced the Harlem Globetrotters out of it temporarily.
A miracle happened as Mika couldn't overcome her fear of water, dropping
her and Canaan to last place and out of the game. Now six teams remain
as the race continues from the desert...
PIT STOP
DOLPHIN BAY BEACH AT THE ATLANTIS
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
1313 LOCAL TIME
Meghan & Cheyne were, again, the first to arrive,
so after the break, they're off and running.
ROUTE INFO |
FLY TO AMSTERDAM!
Fly more than 3000 miles to the
city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands! Once there, drive yourselves
to Afsluitdijk and find the Cornelis Lely Monument, where you will
find your next clue.
|
Meghan & Cheyne find a taxi and
they head off. They're the first to arrive at the airport... The
earliest flight is going out at midnight, so all of the Racers are
going to meet up with each other.
And that's precisely what happens.
Big Easy tells the story of how Mika lost the race for her team.
Meanwhile, Sam and Dan come out as "the token gay team."
After that bit of camaraderie, it's
time to head to...
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
First to the cars are Gary & Matt,
who head out. Meanwhile, Brian & Ericka are stuck thanks to their
non-familiarity with luxury Dutch vehicles.
One after another, the teams find the
statue and get this clue...

MAKE YOUR WAY TO
MARTINITOREN!
Drive to the city of Groningen
and make your way to Martinitoren, the highest tower in the city,
where you next clue awaits. |
We hear a lot of "Brian!" in this leg
of the Race. Just a heads up.
Meanwhile, Meghan & Cheyne are the first
to find...
ROADBLOCK |
WHO'S GOT STRONG
LEGS AND KEEN EYES?
Climb up the stairs of the
Martinitoren and count the bells in the carillon along the way. When
you give the right number to the carilloneur, he will give you your
next clue. |
Meghan decides to take on this Roadblock,
as does Sam, Flight, Matt, Tiffany, and Ericka. They need to come up
with "62".
And did we mention that the carillon
player was going to play as you climb? That doesn't stop Matt, who gets
this...
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
VIERHUIZEN DE MARNE!
Drive to the town of Vierhuizen
de Marne and find Windmill De Onderneming, where you will find your
next clue. |
Sam & Dan pull ahead when they notice
Gary & Matt looking for directions.
Ericka's the only person to miss the
correct number. And not by a little... by a lot.
Meanwhile, the teams find the windmill in
Vierhuizen de Marne... And this clue.
DETOUR |
FARMER'S GAME or
FARMER'S DANCE?
In both Detours, you must don
traditional Dutch farmer's outfits.
FARMER'S GAME: Strip down to your
farmer's underwear and swim across a stream to a set of golf clubs.
Then play a round of farmer's golf. You must finish at or below a
par 3 in order to receive your next clue.
FARMER'S DANCE: Find a country festival, where you must grab a
hammer and hit the bell atop a high-striker. Then you will have to
learn and perform a traditional Dutch farmer's dance. When you have
danced to the instructor's liking, you'll receive a herring with
onions, which you will have to eat to receive your next clue. |
Sam & Dan are the first to dress up (Dan
decides to be "the girl"). Meanwhile, Ericka gets... closer to the right
amount.
Flight and Big finally arrive at the
town.
Sam & Dan go to the game. They get the
first hole at par. Meanwhile, Ericka... still doesn't have the right
number.
Gary & Matt ring the bell and start to
dance. Meanwhile, Sam & Dan finish the Detour.
ROUTE INFO |
MAKE YOUR WAY TO
THE PIT STOP!
Ride your bikes to Zoutkamp
Harbor in the town of Zoutkamp in the Netherlands, the Pit Stop for
this leg of the Race.
WARNING! The last team to check
in MAY BE ELIMINATED! |
Meghan & Cheyne... clearly not
golfers. But they sink the first hole. Meanwhile, Gary & Matt...
can't dance. And to top it off, Matt doesn't like fish, so they end
up golfing. Meghan & Cheyne finish their course and head to the Pit
Stop.
Maria & Tiffany arrive at the
high-striker... but can't ring the bell. Meanwhile, Ericka finally rings
the carilloneur's bells and gets the clue.
PIT STOP
ZOUTKAMP HARBOR
ZOUTKAMP, THE NETHERLANDS
Sam & Dan greet Phil and the happy local,
who inform them that they're team #1, and the winners of a pair of sand
buggies!
Meanwhile, Maria & Tiffany have tried 30
times... and to no avail. On the other hand, Flight & Big try once...
and boom. On to dancing.
Meghan & Cheyne clock in at second.
Brian & Ericka arrive a the Detour and
decide to dance, just as Maria & Tiffany decide to swim. They have a
better time hitting... their clubs. Back at the Detour, Brian & Ericka
forget their bikes. Flight & Big eat fish... though Flight Time has a
hard time finishing it.
Maria & Tiffany return to the
high-striker for attempt #31. Between them and Brian & Ericka walking,
this is a battle to avoid last place. But Brian & Ericka remember their
bikes.
The Globetrotters are still racing at #3.
After 71 tries... Maria & Tiffany still
haven't gotten the hang of it. So they go BACK to the golfing.
Gary & Matt clock in the four-spot.
Meanwhile, Brian & Ericka learn to dance. They nail it and the fish to
get the Pit Stop clue. They are the fifth team to arrive, but due to
their not going back for their bikes, they incur a 30-minute penalty,
effective NOW.
Thirty minutes, they officially clock in
to fifth place.
That leaves Maria & Tiffany... and Phil
to come out to the course to get them. They officially quit, with all
the other teams already checked in. Sorry, but the poker players are
drawing dead.
