The Amazing Race: Who was Eliminated?
Last night on The Amazing Race, the ten remaining teams started on their second leg headed for Germany. Stuntmen Mark and Michael were the only team to not call ahead and secure their place on the first plane headed out, dropping them from third to ninth place. The flight attendants joined Mark and Michael on the last plane. All other teams arrived in Germany, with brother and sister team, Tammy and Victor, taking an early lead.
During the first roadblock, teams had to ride a cable car to a peak in the Alps. Once there, one person would parasail back down if the wind was right. If not, they had the option of choosing a sixty minute hike back down the mountain. All players chose to walk back down the mountain rather than waiting until the wind was blowing in their favor, with the exception of Mel, Mike’s dad. Mel had hurt himself in the first leg of the race and wasn’t comfortable with trecking back down the mountain. Lucky for him, after waiting it out for awhile, he recieved the go ahead to parasail. Not so lucky was Linda, who got lost along the hike, putting her and Steve way behind on this leg of the race.
During the detour teams had to choose between throwing pie in each other’s faces looking for a cherry pie or a two mile obstacle course on Segway transporters. All teams chose the pie throwing, with the exception of Mike and Mel, Mark and Michael and Cara and Jamie.
Arriving first at the pit stop with a huge lead were Victor and Tammy. Arriving next were Mike and Mel, followed by Kris and Amanda, Luke and Margie, Brad and Victoria, Cara and Jamie, Kisha and Jen, Michael and Mark, and Christie and Jodi. Last to arrive and eliminated from the race were Steve and Linda.
