Technical Setup: New Mic and Sound Check

00:00:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Hello. Okay, I think it's working. Is this one working? Yeah, but it looks like that one might be louder than this one, so maybe turn yours down. Okay. Okay.
00:00:19
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. We got a new microphone. Last episode, we discovered that one of our microphones had a short in it and we got a new one. And so we're testing it out.
00:00:30
The Amazing Rewatch
Hopefully this, it's a different brand of microphone too. So hopefully the settings are all correct and we sound the same and I'm not like way louder or way quieter than Sadie. Yeah.
00:00:40
The Amazing Rewatch
So let us know if it, we'll listen as well. but but

Amazing Race Episode 7 Recap

00:00:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Well, let's jump into it. We are covering episode seven of the amazing rewat race episode ah season 15.
00:00:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. Which is Lake 8. And they are departing the Netherlands. Sam and Dan were the first team to arrive. Their departure is at 9.33 p.m. And it says fly 700 miles to Stockholm, Sweden.
00:01:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Once arrive, travel by train and ferry to the Tivoli Grunelund amusement park and find this ride known as the Fritfall to get your next clue.

Departure Timelines and Birthday Ambitions

00:01:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Then Megan and Shane depart at 9.48. Flight time in Big Easy at 10.32. Gary and Matt at 11.08. And then Brian and Erica at 1.38. Yeah, there's a big gap between first and teams.
00:01:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, like four hours. Yeah, so what did they do ah they were They did like the bell tower, and Erica really struggled. Yeah, and then they walked instead of rode bikes. Oh, yep, yep, yep.
00:01:49
The Amazing Rewatch
And, yeah, so... Oh, and then they had a 30 minute penalty. Yeah. Okay. So. Yeah. Well, it's flight time's birthday today. Mm-hmm. So he wants to get a first place. Yes, he is 33 on the day of his birthday on this day, on that day.
00:02:08
The Amazing Rewatch
That's how old I am. Which is he feels older than that. Yeah. He feels older than me just because when I originally watched it, I was in my probably early 20s. Yeah.
00:02:18
The Amazing Rewatch
And he was that much older than me. And I just feel like everybody on the race is older than me. Yeah. But now I'm I'd be like one of the older people. Yeah.
00:02:29
The Amazing Rewatch
If we ever get on. Yeah. Sad. I know. I'm 36. We did something the other day and it was like ah select your age range.
00:02:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, yeah. And Sadie was driving and I was on my phone doing this. for It was like buying tickets um for the parade of homes here in Utah. It's a big deal if you've never been. But it said select your age range and i am now in the 36 to 45 age range and I don't like it.
00:02:57
The Amazing Rewatch
its It's fine. It's actually the new... No, 36 is the new good time. when Yeah.

Airport Layover and Flight Details

00:03:05
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, well the teams, they arrive at the airport and they find out that the flights don't leave until the next morning. There's one at six 55 and one at nine 25 and the ticket counter doesn't open until five 30. So they have to spend the whole night in the airport.
00:03:22
The Amazing Rewatch
And when that opens up, they start buying their tickets and, um Like Megan and Shane, Sam and Dan and the Globe Trotters get on the 655 flight.
00:03:33
The Amazing Rewatch
But as Brian and Erica and Matt and Gary are trying to buy theirs, and they say that they're sold out. So they make it on the 925 flight. So that's not good.
00:03:46
The Amazing Rewatch
it's kind of. nice that they it's not one two teams at least yeah so that first flight lands and the teams are running from the airport to the train station which seems like it's like in the same place and um sam and dan and megan and shane they buy tickets up above and flight time and biggies are like we can buy tickets down on the platform so they run down the stairs to the platform And it takes them longer to buy the ticket because like their card doesn't go in or something like that. and they're kind of struggling to figure it out.
00:04:20
The Amazing Rewatch
So they don't get on that first train. But Sam and Dan and Megan and Shane do. And then they get on a

Roller Coaster Clues and Ring Toss Game

00:04:26
The Amazing Rewatch
ferry. And they make it to the... ah amusement park and the clue there says one person from each team must now ride the frit fall while riding they'll need to spot this arrow pointing in the direction of their next clue box which is visible for only 15 seconds before the ride plunges 24 stories in less than three seconds so shane and sam do it and they work together and it doesn't seem hard to see the no arrow um
00:04:55
The Amazing Rewatch
But did you notice I didn't notice it until like one of the last teams did it. But on this ride, like they go up and then they are up there for a second. And then the seat kind of like rotates forward a little bit. Oh, I didn't know. so when you drop, you're like almost not facing the ground completely, but like almost.
00:05:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, I didn't know. Which makes it scarier. That would be scarier. Yeah, you notice it the most when Matt does it, and he's the last one. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, this this ride is like, it goes straight up and straight down, kind of like the rocket at Lagoon, if you're familiar with Lagoon.
00:05:32
The Amazing Rewatch
But um anyways, they see the arrow pretty easy, and they go to that clue box, and the clue there says play a game. It's like a ring toss. Yeah, roaming home ring toss.
00:05:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Play a game of roaming gnome ring toss. When you've landed a ring on one of the giant hats hiding a gnome, the game attendant will hand you a Travelocity roaming gnome, which will have your next clue.
00:05:55
The Amazing Rewatch
You must then keep the gnome with you until you reach the pit stop. So Sam and Dan get the gnome first and the clue on there is a detour. Yes.
00:06:07
The Amazing Rewatch
It's like printed on the bottom of the gnome. So the choices are Nobel dynamite and Viking asphalt.

Detour Choices: Dynamite or Viking Alphabet

00:06:14
The Amazing Rewatch
So Alfred Nobel of the Nobel prize fame, I guess, is Swedish.
00:06:21
The Amazing Rewatch
um And he also... Invented dynamite. And dynamite is a hard word to type. I don't know if you noticed when were typing your notes. So, Nobel dynamite is fill sandbags to create a protective bunker in a rock quarry.
00:06:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Once protected, um you so they'll set off an explosion unearthing the next clue. And Viking alphabet is decode a message using the ancient ancient Viking alphabet. said Viking asphalt.
00:06:48
The Amazing Rewatch
The first time. oh
00:06:50
The Amazing Rewatch
That's weird. Yeah, because I was like, i don't remember that. Well, nobody does this one, so it's we don't actually see it. But yeah, Viking alphabet. Sorry, that's weird. Sorry.
00:07:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Decode a message using the ancient Viking alphabet. Once you solve the message and locate Truvig the Viking, you'll get the next clue. And that's probably what we would have picked, the Viking lot Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
00:07:14
The Amazing Rewatch
But nobody did. Yeah. So Sam and Dan and Megan and Shane choose Dynamite. And then Flight Time and Big Easy, who were on like the following ferry, like train and ferry from Megan and Shane, they make it to the amusement park. And it says that no one over 6'4 can ride the Fritfall. Yeah. And Big Easy's like, why don't you just say that Big Easy can ride it? i'm the only one that can't ride this I'm the only one that's over And flight time barely is makes the cutoff. Yeah. he I wonder.
00:07:43
The Amazing Rewatch
They probably would just wouldn't have done that task if neither of them could have done it. They would have picked something else to do. Yeah. But.

Sandbag Challenge and Farm Visit

00:07:50
The Amazing Rewatch
um They also choose dynamite. And at this point, the second flight lands.
00:07:57
The Amazing Rewatch
And as Brian and Erica and Gary and Matt are heading to get on the train, Matt and Gary, like, take an elevator instead of, like, run down the stairs and then take longer to buy the tickets. So they don't get on the train.
00:08:09
The Amazing Rewatch
And Brian and Erica do. So they say they're going to be like 15 minutes behind. surprised me. Usually trains in like... The city, like, it's Stockholm. Usually they run more often than 15 minutes. Like, it's every, like, five minutes sometimes. Yeah.
00:08:27
The Amazing Rewatch
So... um So while driving to the detour, Sam and Dan and Megan and Shane have to stop and, like, ask for directions. And that gives Flytime and Big Easy a chance to catch up. So they all basically...
00:08:41
The Amazing Rewatch
arrive there at the same time. And then Erica is at the Fritfall and doing that task. It's not a roadblock. It's just like an extra thing, but only one of them does it.
00:08:55
The Amazing Rewatch
So she does see the arrow. I was afraid she was going to miss it because she's not very observant. I was thinking the same thing. so But she did see it. she did see it. And they also choose to do dynamite. And then Matt and Gary arrive and They also choose dynamite.
00:09:12
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And so when back at the detour, those first three teams are there. And Sam and Dan end up filling up their sandbags faster because they don't use a shovel. Yeah, they kind of just like use their hand to pile it in. Yeah.
00:09:26
The Amazing Rewatch
and And so they do they blow up the dynamite and get the box first. And the clue inside says, drive yourselves to the Bogsguard farm in the area of Bosby, the site of one of the most infamous buildings.
00:09:40
The Amazing Rewatch
challenges and amazing race history yes and as soon as you see those hay bales you know exactly what it's what it is yeah season six yep so back in season six when we were in sweden and the sisters from utah um they were there for eight hours phil says 10 phil said 10 but then everybody after that said eight yeah but that's still really long either way

Hay Bale Flag Hunt: Challenges and Triumphs

00:10:05
The Amazing Rewatch
that's a long time and They were just like Phil came out into the field and told them. Yeah.
00:10:12
The Amazing Rewatch
It's over. Yeah. It was. I can't believe that she kept going that long. Go back and listen to season six commentary. It's an entertaining an entertaining season oh yeah all around.
00:10:22
The Amazing Rewatch
so That's for sure. You'll be so frustrated. but Like that but is so memorable, that task, but I forget that those sisters were on season six. On that season, yeah.
00:10:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Because the rest of the season was so memorable that I forget that that memorable thing was on that memorable season. um So then the Globetrotters do the dynamite thing and find the box.
00:10:50
The Amazing Rewatch
And then Megan and Shane are after that. And they were struggling with communicating during this detour. Megan wanted Shane to do something. She's kind of done this a couple of times at this point where...
00:11:02
The Amazing Rewatch
She wants Shane to do exactly what she wants him to do. Yeah. And he doesn't always do it, but not in a rude way. Like sometimes they'll just be like, I want to try this or I'm just going to do it this way. Like he's not being rude, but she wants him to do it exactly how she She's like, you're not listening to me. I feel like we're not a team. And so when he doesn't do what she wants, she gets really frustrated.
00:11:22
The Amazing Rewatch
What she wanted to do in this instance was have one person hold the bag and the other person shovel, yeah which does make sense, but also it takes twice as long. Yeah. and so I don't know.
00:11:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Because if you're like holding open your own bag, it is hard. But they just did not. They were not very efficient. So when they get the, when they finish the detour and get the clue and get in their car, she says that like we, that took us way too long.
00:11:45
The Amazing Rewatch
We weren't communicating, you know. Yeah. And he said, we're not, we can't go back and do the task again. We just got to move forward. It's over. Let's be done with it. And so then the,
00:11:56
The Amazing Rewatch
but
00:11:58
The Amazing Rewatch
After and Brian and Erica and Matt and Gary did the ah amusement park thing, Matt and Gary kind of have a hard time getting directions to the detour.
00:12:11
The Amazing Rewatch
and there i feel like they're like going in circles. Yeah. They're kind of in like a, maybe like the city center type area. Just kind of like going around around about. Yeah. And like trying to read the names of the streets yeah in Swedish. And it's pretty funny. Like.
00:12:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I was trying to write say the names. it was It was really funny. um That language is really hard sounding. All of the like Scandinavian languages are tough.
00:12:37
The Amazing Rewatch
So those first few teams at the front of the pack start arriving at the roadblock. And I didn't write down what Phil says at this part. um So the roadblock says, who thinks they can spot a needle in a haystack?
00:12:50
The Amazing Rewatch
This is an amazing race switchback as seen on season six. They're going to do the exact same roadblock. They have to search 186 hay bales for one of only seven race flags.
00:13:05
The Amazing Rewatch
And this farm is also the pit stop this time. So before they had to like go somewhere else. Yeah. But this one is, it's just right there. Like they can literally see him.
00:13:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. It's not even a clue. Yeah. In season six, they had to, it was a clue inside the hay bales, but this one is just little flag. So Sam is going to do the roadblock.
00:13:26
The Amazing Rewatch
And Megan and Shane are kind of right behind them. And Megan really wants Shane to make the decision. But Shane's like, Megan has been taking the lead this leg. So I wanted her to make the decision. So when Shane didn't say anything, Megan's like, I'll just do it.
00:13:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And she was like, i yeah, she said, I really wanted him to say that he would do it. Yeah. But I feel like at this point she needs to more roadblocks. But this is a really hard one to do. And everybody knows it.
00:13:56
The Amazing Rewatch
So Sam is doing it and Dan keeps yelling at him from the side. Yes. Like in such an annoying way. Like telling him what to do when it's obvious he knows what he needs to do. Yeah.
00:14:09
The Amazing Rewatch
And trying to give him so much direction. Don't look so closely. Yeah. Just like roll him out. And Sam keeps saying like, stop talking to me. He's like, do not talk to me for 10 minutes.
00:14:19
The Amazing Rewatch
Like yeah he keeps telling him to stop talking to him. he's like He's like, shut up. And they're just screaming at each other so much. And I think before they start or like a little bit into it, Dan um says like they did this on another season and it took her eight hours. And Sam's like, why would you tell me that?
00:14:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. why Why would you think that helpful right now? then flight time and Big Easy arrive and Big Easy does it. No. Yes. Sorry. Yeah. And flight time's like to the people, don't find that needle in the haystack but before him. And so it's my birthday. Yeah.
00:14:53
The Amazing Rewatch
And um Brian and Erica and Matt and Gary end up finishing their detour and end up at the roadblock before anybody has finished, right? Yeah.
00:15:06
The Amazing Rewatch
think so. Yeah. Before anybody has even finished. so And Matt and Gary, like when they were When they were on the way to the roadblock, they knew they were behind because they knew they had gotten lost.
00:15:16
The Amazing Rewatch
and they But they say, like, keep going. Anything can happen. yeah And it just goes to show that it's one of it just takes one of these types of roadblocks that can literally take hours yeah to yeah be a game changer.
00:15:32
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, because now they're all on even playing field at this point. Also, they almost have an advantage because they've already rolled out yeah many pay bales. They said, like, they arrived and they're like, the odds are actually more in our favor because there's fewer things that we have to unroll. And Dan was like,
00:15:48
The Amazing Rewatch
go faster. They're going fast. And Sam's like, cause I've already been here for hours. I've already enrolled a hundred bales and they're just getting here. Yeah. Megan, I think it was even before Brian and Erica and Matt and Gary arrived. She was like starting to get really frustrated and saying, this is the worst thing I've ever done.
00:16:03
The Amazing Rewatch
And I've been doing this for two hours already. So it does take a long time. I actually did the math. So it's on my other computer. So in 186 hay bales, there's seven flags That means there's one flag in every 26.5 hay bales.
00:16:21
The Amazing Rewatch
So if it takes them, we'll say five minutes per bale to unroll, that's 132 minutes. So that's 2.2 hours.
00:16:32
The Amazing Rewatch
So if statistically yeah statistically, it should take about two and a half hours to do this at five minutes per bale. I feel like that's pretty yeah You know, because they have to, like, pull apart the like the netting that's around the bale, unroll the whole thing, and kind of, like, dig through it. And this is another time where it's, like, it's good to put gloves in your bag.
00:16:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. yeah Whoever is going to go on the race, put gloves in your bag. um Well, so when Brian and Erica show up and Matt and Gary show up, um Brian and Gary do the roadblock.
00:17:05
The Amazing Rewatch
um Sam and Dan are still yelling a lot. And the first person to find a flag in the hay is Big Easy. Yeah. And they are team number one and they win ah trip to Turks and Caicos. Turks and Caicos.
00:17:19
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. For Flight Time's birthday. But I actually have that they check in before Brian and Gary get there. So they actually do leave the roadblock before the last two teams arrive.
00:17:30
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. But not far. No. Yeah. and so, yeah, all the team, the rest of the teams are looking and Megan finds one and she's like, I'm going to trick, I'm going to trick Shane. Yeah.
00:17:43
The Amazing Rewatch
So she like hides the flag behind her and she like goes up to him pretending to cry. And she's like, I can't do this. I can't do this anymore. I can't do this. And then puts it in his hand and he's like,
00:17:54
The Amazing Rewatch
what oh my gosh oh my gosh I love you oh my gosh and so they're team number two and then ah unfortunately the next person to find a flag is Brian yeah so Sam and he searched like the shortest amount of time I think for sure And they're team number three because, like we said, the pit stop's right there. They don't have to navigate to the pit stop. so um So the two people left are Sam and Gary. And Sam's been doing this for the longest of all.
00:18:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, probably three hours at this point. Yeah. He sits and he takes a break for a second. Yeah. Dan has kind of had some sort of epiphany. He's like finally calmed down and he's like, I realized that yelling at him is not helping. It's not doing anything.
00:18:37
The Amazing Rewatch
He's like, I didn't need to be doing that. Why was I doing that? Yeah. Like out loud to himself. So yeah, he like, at this point is very much calmer and Sam reacts a lot better to this. Yeah.
00:18:52
The Amazing Rewatch
And it was funny because like Dan was yelling at Sam and like, I mean, it wasn't the most encouraging language. He was kind of being annoying about it. And Sam kept saying, stop talking, stop talking.
00:19:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And Megan was the opposite. She's like, Shane, keep talking to me. Keep encouraging me. Yeah. She's like, tell me what to do next and he's like I don't know but she's like but tell me I don't know what to do he's like open that one yeah so it's very different dynamics but Sam ends up getting the next flag and so they are team number four so that means Gary is the last one and The thing at the bottom says two two hours and 45 minutes has gone by.
00:19:33
The Amazing Rewatch
and he unrolls a bail and he finally finds a flag. And they check in as team number five. And it's kind of obvious that this is going to be a non-elimination league. Because I feel like if it wasn't, Phil would phil would have told them. onto the field Maybe. I don't know how long they would have let people search this time. um So, they're not eliminated.
00:19:55
The Amazing Rewatch
It's a non-elimination league. Which I think was a good... timing for non-elimination leg. Yeah. Actually, the trivia for this season said that this is the longest time like between non-elimination legs that they've ever had. Because I think the last one was like one.
00:20:10
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And now it's like eight. Yeah. So we definitely were due for one. Yeah. And so yeah, I'm glad because Just like the timing with this roadblock, it was just like it is luck and they all worked really hard. and Yeah, it would suck to be eliminated after all that. And Gary kept very positive still. and Yeah. And Matt said, like Phil asked Matt, he's like, what do you think of your dad? And he's like, my dad's a superhero. Mm-hmm.
00:20:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And I mean, ah Gary is a farmer. So Matt was saying like he works with hay all the time. Like he's totally, this is a good roadblock for him. Yeah. so And I like them.
00:20:55
The Amazing Rewatch
Me too. I think they have been they're not pretty positive the whole time.

Positive Spirits Despite Challenges

00:21:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. they They're not like exciting, but they're nice to each other and like respectful. And I think they were expecting like a more,
00:21:08
The Amazing Rewatch
like a more fighting between them because they're so different. Yeah. They just wanted us to know that they were so different. And it's like they've actually been really what was the father-son team that we had in the past that they fought a lot?

Swedish Trivia: Geography and Famous People

00:21:22
The Amazing Rewatch
um It was from one of the seasons I don't remember very well.
00:21:26
The Amazing Rewatch
They didn't last super long. Are you like thinking of something like somebody specific and you just can't remember who it was? Yeah. It was in the, from between one and 15, there was a father son team and they didn't get along very well.
00:21:42
The Amazing Rewatch
And I can't like think of anything off the top of my head. Anyways, they're not doing too bad. No. um And we're in the top six teams. So five, five teams.
00:21:54
The Amazing Rewatch
So, yeah, but this is our, only our second time to Sweden. This is our sixth country in this season. Sweden is known as the Kingdom of Sweden. It's a Nordic country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It's bordered by Norway to the west and Finland to the east. It's 173,000 square miles.

The country has a population of 10 million and has a low population density of 66 people per square mile. 88% 88% of Swedes reside in the urban areas that cover only 1% of its land area.
00:22:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, there's like a lot of probably tundra, like Arctic yeah up at the north part of Sweden. So I bet they all mostly live in the south. Yeah, they do have some of the area is in the Arctic Circle and experiences times when the sun never sets or the sun never rises, which would be awful. crazy. It's a highly developed country. It's ranked fifth in the Human Development Index. It's a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary has a parliamentary government.

The Amazing Rewatch
It's like a short drive to Sweden from there. There's like a bridge. There's a bridge, yeah. To go to Malmo. Yeah. And I was like, should we? I almost went to Sweden, but we only had 24 hours in the city anyway, so it was short. But when we go back for our family history yeah excursion, I think we should just hop over Sweden.

00:27:31
The Amazing Rewatch
We only have five teams left. And I swear we still have so many episodes. How many episodes do we have left? One, two, three, four. guess that's not that bad. but ah We'll probably have one more non-elimination league for sure.
00:27:46
The Amazing Rewatch
But probably not next episode because they wouldn't do two in a row, I don't think. No. And you told us they don't go to Africa at all this season. Nope. They do not.
00:27:56
The Amazing Rewatch
They do go to a place that we have not been, i think. Because not so far we've only we haven't been to any new countries. um I think the next two actually are places that we have not been on the race yet.
00:28:10
The Amazing Rewatch
So that'll be exciting. Yeah. And both places that I would like to go. So can't wait to have a reminder about Okay. Of what these countries look like. So come listen to the next episode.
