Enjoy the show!

The other teams all welcome the two returning (eliminated before) teams, but their expressions at first didn't seem all that welcoming! LOL The guy who was wrongly imprisoned made a joke about lockdown, going back into his prison-mode, during COVID. The flight attendants lost work, and had to find other employment. The twins lost their grandmother to COVID.  Phil mentions the chartered jet, and sets them off! Streets look abandoned: was Switzerland in lockdown? I'm sure they're thrilled to be back at it! I'm excited! |

Darn a few of my favorite teams did not come back but glad the cops have another chance.

I am happy they addressed what happened and explained how they would keep them safe. I would have liked an even longer updates on the teams...ones there and those that couldn't make it back. I hope they have some of them back.

Sorry that the twins lost Grandma in Feb 2020 and that no one In their family could be with her. As they mentioned in their tribute to her, a nurse held her hand, which perfectly sums up life during that longest ever pit stop. I’m glad the teams that returned are there, probably as much as they are to be able to run again.

The streets really do look deserted. Who are they going to stop to ask for directions/help?

Akbar addresses the harsh "coaching" he did earlier, vows to do less yelling.  |

Each team as a guide for safety, but still…..this would be a tough challenge for me. I would not have volunteered for it. OMG

Poor Sheri! She is so far behind, so scared of being up there!!

Neighbors do not loiter in their driveways, or chit chat. That was 30 years ago.  During Covid, it would most likely be even more scarce. Also, they really prefer to speak Swiss German and not that inviting to English. So, they really are on their own there. |

The fog is making the rocks slippery and making things even more difficult for Sheri.

Lots of teams doing the "Toss It" challenge with the flags. That one seems hard to me! Funny, Natalia tells her dad not to help the other teams! |

And the flag teams are getting done 1st! Guess it wasn't so hard.
Akbar and Sheri are headed there too. I hope he fixes his attitude! He's definitely not supportive yet!

They don’t really do the flags in synchrony, but they get it done. Yay!
I guess we will find out whether you tell the story from the buckle, or the end of the belt.

Akbar and Sheri are struggling again. I am hoping they will be eliminated. The negativity is not pleasant to watch.

Akbar is a bully. Unrelenting put downs of his wife. Has he smiled even once in 4 episodes? He acts more like a prison guard than a school administrator. I pity the students under his "care."

Michael and Moe have to start over again. Sigh. As soon as they saw that Arjun and Natalia started their story from the opposite end they should have done the same thing. Oh well.

Sheri is crying with relief that are still in the race, team 5.

The cops are last again. They are never going to live this down at the police station.

Harsh! They're eliminating them! They could've at least made the 1st leg back a NE leg. But poor Michael and Moe get last place AGAIN.

Arjun and Natalia make it as team 6. Oh sorry Mike and Moe, and in pouring rain no less. But, they are still thankful and appreciative!

I wondered why they did not start over then as well or why did they not ask in the beginning which way on the belt, Too bad was hoping it was a non elim or that they would beat the father daughter. |

Commercial showing Sheri taking the plunge….why? When is Akbar going to do these tough challenges?

I found it interesting that the belt challenge, (which looked easier to me) finished later than the flags. All of the flag teams made it before Arjun and Natalia finished punching the story on the belt.

Boy, what a wonderful view from that mountain in Switzerland. I really like Randy and Dusty, the married couple and the father and daughter team(. how funny she told him not to help the other racers this time)
Well done Sheri, she was so very scared and overcame it, not sure her husband said that, I don't care for him at all. He's an A-hole.
The girls all did well.
Lovely it's back on! I 😃
