Last week, the Racers were bused to France, where they took part in the fight for freedom as World War I doughboys. Joe & Heidi were blown out of the sky in the Detour, and they were eliminated. The Race continues with seven.

PIT STOP
WARGEMOULIN, FRANCE
EGLISE ST. ETIENNE DE WARGEMOULIN
0747 LOCAL TIME

Louie & Michael were the first to arrive, so they will depart first with this...

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO REIMS!

Drive yourselves to the city of Reims and find the only outdoor statue of Joan of Arc. Then listen to what you "saw" as a saw-playing street musician will hand you your next clue.

The Cops love that they've placed first in the last two legs.

Once the teams arrive in Reims, they butcher the English language in search of the statue. Steve & Allie are the first to spot it and the saw player...

ROUTE INFO

Champagne Leclerc Briant

It's a cork with a location on it. Steve & Allie head there.

Jet & Cord and Louie & Michael find their next clue, as JorDan do the same.

(C-Note: and a special hello to everyone out there who've tuned in for "Undercover Boss")

The Cops and JorDan find the building first and get... blocked.

ROADBLOCK

WHO'S READY TO CAVE IN!

Rappel over 100 feet down into an aging caverns of the winery, then search the champagne bottles for one marked with Race colors. Then in a tradition created by Napoleon's army, you will use a saber to slice off the top of your bottle, causing your next clue to shoot out.

Jordan P. and Louie head into the caverns to begin the search. Steve follows them.

Jet & Cord find out that they went to the wrong town looking for the winery.

Jordan finds a bottle marked with Race colors and perform what the French call "saberage". The newly-minuted sabreurs get this clue...

ROUTE INFO

TAITTINGER
La Marquetterie

Back in town, Brent & Caite arrive at the wrong statue. Louie finds his bottle, as does Steve. Brandy gets the Roadblock, while JorDan get directions to Taittinger. Brent & Caite arrive at the right statue and get the clue.

Apparently Taittinger's is hard to find, as the teams can't seem to locate it in Pierry.

Cord busts a bottle. Louie & Michael bust a clue thanks to a local policeman.

DETOUR

TOWER or TERRA?

TOWER: Use exactly 680 glasses to build a tower of crystal 15 levels high, with only one glass on top. Once you have done that, pour a champagne cascade to fill them all and receive your next clue.

TERRA: Search a square kilometer of the barren wintry land for a cluster of grapes marked with Race colors. Once you find it, hand it over to the foreman to receive your next clue

The Cops go searching. Brent goes rappelling. Jeff & Jordan... sample the local color before he is chosen to rappel.

Steve & Allie get into an accident en route to the wrong location. This may affect their car.... and it does. They call for another car... THEN decide to fix the car with duct tape.

At the field, Eagle Eye Mike finds the grapes and gets this clue...

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PIT STOP!

Drive yourselves to the next Pit Stop, L'orrca, in the city of Champagne-Ardenne, France! WARNING! The last team to check in MAY BE ELIMINATED!

JorDan, meanwhile, get to stacking, recalling several towers they've seen at bar and bat mitzvahs. Meanwhile, Carol & Brandy search for grapes.

PIT STOP
CHAMPAGNE-ARDENNE, FRANCE
L'ORRCA

Louie & Michael arrive to see Phil and the happy... mime? They are in first, winning a five-night trip to Cancun!

Carol & Brandy find the grapes tout-suite. Steve & Allie start searching for the grapes. Brent & Caite decide to follow Carol & Brandy... who arrive in second. Brent & Caite... need to go back and perform the Detour.

Once again... You need to go out of town to get to the Detour. Sheesh.

JorDan can't figure out the pyramid, as Steve & Allie take third.

Jet & Cord find grapes... and Brent & Caite lane-switch to the pyramid.

JorDan stacks three individual glasses on top of each other... Will it work? Looks good so far. Can Brent & Caite duplicate it?

Jet & Cord take down the 4-spot. JorDan take a drink and a clue.

Brent & Caite begin their pour...... and watch as all their hard work tumbles down. BACK TO THE FIELD...

Jeff & Jordan arrive at the Detour and start stacking glasses. JorDan take fifth.

Jeff & Jordan's pyramid... also crashes. Lane-switch!

Brent & Caite arrive in... SIXTH! That leaves Jeff & Jordan to finish the leg out in seventh... and eliminated. It's a long trip from the Big Brother House to France, but it's an adventure together, and they're grateful for the opportunity...

But we gotta roll...
