The brothers are first. Chelsea and daughter are team 2 to finish. “Childhood Best Friends” According to the amazing race description. Chelsea does look older, but they are best friends not related. |

I would seriously have killed it on that mustard challenge. My mother was born in Germany, and I took German as my second language, so I would have gotten the name pronunciation pretty quickly, and I love mustard. I have at least six mustards in my fridge right now.
And right now, I really want a wurst and mustard....
Oh, I also agree with Corey---it was so much run watching Rob tossing roses in that parade, and I was amazed at how calmly and quickly they figured out the soccer/darts thing.
In addition, I love the attitude of Joel and Garrett when they thought they were dead last. But, oh, they should have at least let the pink ladies go out with a parade....

Phil saves the pink ladies from enduring the lock challenge and the mustard tasting soccer darts choices. Bye bye sweet pink ladies!  |

My mom was also born in Germany. I grew up bilingual. |

I'll miss my pink ladies" out of towners ". But half way through, we knew they were going to be last.
Shame it wasn't Anna Leigh, at least her father told her off.
The difference in their relationship vs Rob and Corey, is like night and day.
I don't like the couple that came in second, the blond is okay, but the other one looks like she's headed for a dental appointment, smile, youre having fun...yes?

I’m sad to see the pink ladies go. They were so fun. I think they just didn’t have their head in the game today. They made a bunch of weird mistakes. Aside from taking the wrong ferry, it was pretty obvious that the money guy wasn’t with The Amazing Race—no markings and the money wasn’t ancient like the clue said.
I was so glad the dad finally told AL to knock it off. It’s pretty bad when you’re so obnoxious that even your dad doesn’t like you.

Great episode even though my 2nd favorite team, sadly, went home. Though I also really like the bearded guys, so happy they made it.
Ill move the brothers who got 1st into that spot - 2nd to root for (with Dad and Cory still being #1)
I have a German exchange student living with us right (just trying to tie in with all the German talk) and my daughter will go live with her later, my brother was born in German AND we have at least 3 mustards on hand (honey mustard, brown spicy, brown spicy with horseradish). So Id do the mustard challenge too. Even though I have played soccer a little bit, I think getting the exact # seems hard. But maybe the shot is close enough its not as bad as I imagined.

Just started watching. I notice that there is almost a 2.5 hour difference between first and last place.
Smart Mouth Texas is threatening to be nasty to the other player. How is this any different from their current behavior? I don't see the difference.
Robbin (purple) do these ladies just always snap at each other?
Both Orange and Purple state they have lived in Germany before; you would think that would give them an advantage over other players. Yeah, that is not normally what we see.
Navigation is key to this leg. Annnnnd Purple sees the sign and drives right by.
If I had a snapping turtle emoji I would be using it now as Robbins' symbol.
As for big mouth Texas ... that's interesting ... what would her emoji be?

Purple realizes they missed the correct ferry and cross the river again and follow instructions. Pink Ladies got way lost. Found the right road and passed the correct ferry got on a ferry got 5 Euros.
The Pink Ladies are A+ for poor navigation and not reading the clue and NOT realizing they needed to get a Bag of witten, I guess that means another A+ for very poor reading comprehension and still not checking the clue.
They are still driving to the castle still not realizing they didn't follow instructions and are in last place. Well, guess I know who is coming in last place today. I wonder if Phil will have to go find them as I don't think they will ever get to the Pit Stop. |

Texas Girl is so rude and disrespectful to her dad.
Oh, at least she sorta apologized.
Hey her dad rode the horse isn't loud mouth supposed to find the lock?
Pink Lady at the castle realize they need witten, go the ferry ... cross the river and get lost again trying to find the right ferry. Will these ladies ever complete this task?
On Blue Sisters - how can you not read a map?

So funny the Beards thought they were in last place.
Overall good episode but these self drive episodes stress me as much as the racers.

Everyone is snapping, all teams being snippy. Yikes. Yes they are. I would like to know why the person with the map is sitting in the back. I agree, it is hard to navigate from back there. I think the sound guy sits in the other back seat and the camera guy sits in the passenger front seat. |

When the teams get tickets for themselves they also get tickets for the cameraman and the sound guy per an article I read ages ago. Any extra airline tickets are returned to production. |

You know when you self drive you and get lost you hope someone else gets lost too and that frequently happens on TAR. However, Pink Ladies didn't get lost just once, they got lost at least twice and they didn't read the clue correctly, not once but twice and didn't realize it until they had gotten to the castle. I give them kudos for not breaking down and screaming/crying/snapping/arguing with their partner unlike pairs we have seen over the years. They kept trying and had a really good attitude about it. I do think that is a first for The Amazing Race.
