um Yeah.
00:06:41
The Amazing Rewatch
That was, let's see, in 2009. So that was the year that we did that road trip. ah in the... We pulled the camp trailer. So we started in Utah. We drove down to Southern California. We went to Disneyland for three days. No, we went to Vegas first.
00:06:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Then we went to Disneyland for three days. Then we drove up the coast of California San Francisco and then kind of cut back across and went to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and then across the loneliest road in America in Nevada and back to Utah. So we did like a little circle. And it was like...
00:07:17
The Amazing Rewatch
the funnest family vacation it was so fun but we were in the truck for a long time and those two lady gaga songs came on every hour on the radio and it was before we had like bluetooth yeah so we had some cds to listen to in the car but we mostly listened to the radio remember the taylor swift debut album yeah we did listen to that a lot that's whenever i hear those songs i think of that trip Oh, yeah.
00:07:46
The Amazing Rewatch
And yeah, that was a fun fun time. that was It was really fun. It was a long trip. it was like probably one of our longest family vacations, but we were going to try to drive all the way up to like the Oregon coast, but just like getting up there in the trailer took a long time and we had to stop more than we thought. And that was a fun trip though.
00:08:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. um What else you got? That's all. Okay. So 2009, let's see. In February of 2009, I turned 20.
00:08:22
The Amazing Rewatch
i was in college.
00:08:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Was I? Yeah. I would have been down at SUU, Southern Utah University. Just living my best college life. i was
00:08:35
The Amazing Rewatch
This part of 2009, would have been a junior. Yeah. So I would have been junior.
The Amazing Race Season 14 Overview
00:08:40
The Amazing Rewatch
would have 17. Yeah. And not a lot going on for 17-year-old. Yeah.
00:08:48
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, some interesting, like, world events and pop culture, stuff like that that happened in the first half of 2009. I thought this was kind of interesting. I don't usually include, like, a lot of political stuff, but um there was a conflict between Israel and Hamas that lasted for three weeks. Like, so that was going on clear back then even. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But that one only lasted for three weeks.
00:09:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Mm-hmm. um President Obama was inaugurated. um Captain Chesley Sullenberger landed that plane on the Hudson River and all passengers survived and then they made a movie out of it starring Tom Hanks.
00:09:32
The Amazing Rewatch
It's weird that they call him Sully, but his name is Sullenberger. I mean, like that's a long name. If my last name was Sullenberger, I would. Yeah. um and Then let's see. The Super Bowl.
00:09:46
The Amazing Rewatch
was trying to figure this out. XLIII, think, 43.
00:09:52
The Amazing Rewatch
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27 23.
00:09:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Which sounds like it was a better game than the Super Bowl that we just had in 2025. Yeah. That was a blowout and it was kind of a boring game. Yeah. It was. But I liked the halftime show.
00:10:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Bruce Springsteen was the halftime show for ah Super Bowl 43. The Grammy Awards. Best New Artist was the Zac Brown Band.
00:10:19
The Amazing Rewatch
Fearless by Taylor Swift was Album of the Year. So I didn't know that she like. I thought it was more of her recent stuff that won, like, album of the year. But, like, way back She's been winning forever.
00:10:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. um The 81st Academy Awards. Isn't it? This is when, like, Kanye got on stage. and So, that was in, like, September.
00:10:40
The Amazing Rewatch
That was at the VMAs. Oh. The, yeah. The Kanye, Taylor Swift, Beyonce fiasco. That, yeah. That happened in September of 2009.
00:10:52
The Amazing Rewatch
so together I think the same BMAs that Lady Gaga did. Paparazzi. And it was like the best performance. I think it was. yeah It's ever happened in all time. What
00:11:04
The Amazing Rewatch
um what was it? Oh, the 81st Academy Awards. Kate Winslet won Best Actress. Sean Penn won Best Actor. For what? Kate Winslet was The Reader. oh yeah.
00:11:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Sean Penn, I don't even know. have you ah Have you seen The Reader? It's very depressing. I'm sure. all We've talked about this recently because the Oscars were just last week.
00:11:28
The Amazing Rewatch
And it's like the Oscar contenders are like the saddest, most depressing, or like the weirdest possible yeah things you could ever do.
00:11:38
The Amazing Rewatch
I knew Wicked wasn't going to win because it was just like a normal movie, like a musical. And but they don't but like win anymore. yeah and it's like, If people, if it went by like popularity, none of this stuff would even be in the running.
00:11:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Because anyways, but, and it doesn't go by popularity and I know it has to do with art and all that stuff. But yeah, sometimes it's just like, oh my, do we have to be so depressing?
00:12:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Anora was the one that won and I had literally never even heard of it until like two days before the Oscars. So yeah, me too. I don't know. um Penelope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress and Heath Ledger won the posthumous posthumously his Oscar for um The Dark Knight.
Challenges in Switzerland
00:12:26
The Amazing Rewatch
Best movie was Slumdog Millionaire. That one's... I mean, that is a sad movie, but it has a happy ending. haven't seen it. Oh, you haven't? Mm-mm.
00:12:37
The Amazing Rewatch
It has a happy ending, so that one's not as depressing or weird. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:42
The Amazing Rewatch
um Do you remember the swine flu pandemic? Yeah. That hit in 2009. pandemic. And nowadays. I know. It seems very minor compared to yeah covid nineteen which like as of today was like five years ago yeah which is really weird so i guess everything shut down in march of 2025 yeah we're recording this on march 9th which is my daughter's birthday and i remember she turned four and we went to like this like bounce house place for her birthday and then two days later everything closed and we couldn't go anywhere
00:13:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I remember it was like but our sister's birthday is the 12th. It was like right before her birthday. Yep. Me and my husband at the time and our two friends were at a bar breakfast.
00:13:34
The Amazing Rewatch
trivia night and on my phone I saw it said Rudy Gobert test positive COVID-19 and then like the whole world shut down it's literally like that was the the thing that like that was it once the NBA started getting COVID they were like close it all the very next day he was like don't go to school everything's done yeah that was so weird and and it said by Easter it will be gone Yeah.
00:14:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Just stay in your houses for six weeks and then everything will be back to normal. And that was like two years later. And it seems so weird that it was five years ago, but also it seems like it was like way longer than that, but also that long. Yeah.
00:14:19
The Amazing Rewatch
we were like We went to Disneyland between season 13 and 14. Yes. ah Of our podcast. Of our show. Yeah. Yeah. And i was looking at pictures of when I went to Disneyland when Olivia was just barely turned one and we still had to wear masks and everything like that. I'm like, these are going to be the pictures that we show our grandchildren.
00:14:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Look, back in the day, i had to wear a mask to Disneyland. a Coronavirus. Coronavirus. Like, it was very weird yeahll wear a mask at Disneyland because i didn't even...
00:14:55
The Amazing Rewatch
matt you know so and people get all political about masks and stuff like that which i don't even want to get into but it was just kind of weird it was like oh while you're right outside this open air building you don't need to wear a mask but the second you step inside this open air building you need to put it on yeah it was just weird yeah some of the guidelines yeah rules were like yeah okay and that was very nice because i know people
00:15:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Or, you know, yeah scared and they're not the one who made the rules and stuff like that. And I think It was just a weird time. Nobody knew what they were doing. And everybody was just confused. And they it was very, very weird but that that actually happened.
00:15:37
The Amazing Rewatch
I think about, like, if we had that now, like, if we had another pandemic, which right now there's, like, bird flu. Yeah. That people say could get pretty bad.
00:15:49
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm like, I don't think our world is going to survive another pandemic. I think... Because nobody will... Or like, we're not doing this again. no Or people made it too political. Yeah. And it's like, if there was another pandemic, like, we would just, that'd be the end of us. We would not be able to survive that.
00:16:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Because nobody would ever be able to agree on anything ever again. Yeah. Well, let's cross our fingers. Yeah. Well, um Minecraft was released in 2009.
00:16:21
The Amazing Rewatch
um The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup. So Pittsburgh had a real good year for sports. Nice. The Steelers won the Super Bowl. They beat the Detroit Red Wings. The NBA Finals. The Lakers won.
00:16:32
The Amazing Rewatch
And Kobe Bryant was the MVP. That was also five years ago that he died. He died in January of 2020. Yeah. Yeah. yeah um And Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died in June of 2009 on the same day.
00:16:48
The Amazing Rewatch
on the same day. Yeah. It was like Michael Jackson was first, I think. And then all of a sudden the news was like, oh, and Farrah Fawcett.
00:16:58
The Amazing Rewatch
And just fun fact. Can you guess what the top baby names of 2009 were?
00:17:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, maybe Liam for a boy. er Noah. think Twilight. Edward? No. Jacob? Yes.
00:17:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And Isabella. oh really? Mm-hmm. Interesting.
00:17:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Those books have not aged well. They're still entertaining. They definitely took over the world. i just reread Twilight in October. shh, shh.
00:17:28
The Amazing Rewatch
It was so weird to reread that as an adult. Yeah. I only ever read the first book of the series. I didn't even read two, three, and four. Like at the time, i read it back in the day.
00:17:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I was. And now I'm like, I guess, you know, i was a teenager. Yeah. But now I'm like, It's just weird because I think the thing that I think about most is like the timeline of the book one through or whatever.
00:17:58
The Amazing Rewatch
It's like a year long. Like she meets Edward and like He leaves her and she runs away to Italy to save him. And then he comes back and marries her and gets her pregnant and they have a baby. In like a year period.
00:18:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And people are like, like they don't like put that all together. Because it's just, it came out over years. Yeah, the books came out over several years. And it's like, if you're Edward, if you're re Bella's dad, feel like you are never...
00:18:26
The Amazing Rewatch
leaving this house again like what anyways it's just i've seen like reels about that like now now as an adult we really sympathize with charlie swan yeah yeah anyways anyways okay well we're 20 minutes into this episode and we haven't even started talking about The actual ah what happened in the premiere of season 14. So shall we get into that?
00:18:55
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, so we will do a bonus episode or like a preseason episode or whatever. you can listen to it and whenever you want or don't listen to it of our deep dive into the cast. And by deep dive, we just read their bios later on.
00:19:08

the amazing race on but yeah talk about them a little bit more than what we'll say here yeah um so if you want to go listen to that you can um this was a good premiere episode if you guys i really liked it yeah if you want to watch a Good season. I think this going be a really good season. I've heard somebody even commented on our Instagram today saying like 13 was so boring and unmemorable. Like I don't even remember anybody's name or what happened. i'm like, it was a good season. There's nothing like there's no bad seasons, but it was a little less memorable. Yeah.
00:19:43
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I think this going to be a good one. So watch along with us. Yeah. Yeah. I really liked this episode. So we start out with the teams on these U.S. s Marine Corps helicopters, dropping them off at a training base in Los Alamitos, which is by Los Angeles.
00:20:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And we have 11 teams. Yeah. They are first, we have Christy and Jody. They are friends and they're both flight attendants. Tammy and Victor are siblings, ah brother and sister, and they're both lawyers from Southern California.
00:20:20
The Amazing Rewatch
We have Margie and Luke. They're mother-son team from Colorado and Luke is deaf. And he he can't read lips and he's deaf, so his mom is basically his... His voice. Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:33
The Amazing Rewatch

00:20:45
The Amazing Rewatch
Keisha or Keisha? Keisha. Keisha and Jen are sisters and former college athletes. Preston and Jennifer are a dating couple. They've been dating for two years from Southern California.
00:20:58
The Amazing Rewatch
thought was South Carolina. South Carolina. I don't know. Yeah. Because I thought as soon as I said Southern California, i was like, I don't think that's right. They definitely have a South Carolina accent. Brad and Victoria, they are a married couple who've been married for nine years. They're from Ohio. Yeah.
00:21:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Mel and Mike are a father and son team from Virginia and Los Angeles. They're both gay. And Mike is, you may recognize him from other stuff. He's, he wrote and acted in, um School of Rock. And now I think he's a creator of White Lotus, isn't he? Yes.
00:21:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. And he was on Survivor. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. I think he was on maybe twice. Was he on Survivor before this or was this his first reality?
00:21:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Let's
00:21:47
The Amazing Rewatch
see.
00:21:49
The Amazing Rewatch
I think he's on Amazing Race first. Okay. Because it didn't say anything about him being on Survivor. Yeah, so I want to choose who I want to survive after this. I did not.
00:21:59
The Amazing Rewatch
um Yeah, he's the creator of White Lotus. He's very popular right now. He's a very well-liked person, I think. I think people love working with him. and He makes an amazing show. I love White Lotus.
00:22:12
The Amazing Rewatch
It's currently on right now, season three. It's an interesting season. I don't know if I like it as much as the other two, but we're only a couple episodes in, so he always throws us for a loop.
00:22:26
The Amazing Rewatch
And then we have Amanda and Chris. they are They've been dating for three years. They're from San Diego. Mark and Michael are brothers and professional stuntmen. And something interesting is that they stunt double for children because they're both really short.
00:22:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. They're really just like small guys. And then Jamie and Kara are from, or they're friends and they are former NFL cheerleaders. I think it's pronounced Kara because it annoys me.
00:22:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Did say Kara? Yeah. I remember that specifically. Okay. So Jamie and Kara. Okay. Okay, well, that is the 11 teams. And then Phil does his little spiel, says, travel safe.
00:23:12
The Amazing Rewatch
He says, the world is waiting. The way to waiting for you. Travel safe. Good Travel safe. Go. So they run to their bags. And it says, make your way to Locarno, Switzerland.
Swiss Facts and Amazing Race Connection
00:23:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Take one of two flights. One is Lufthansa. That leaves at 335.
00:23:27
The Amazing Rewatch
That lands in Zurich. Or there's an Air France that leaves at 4 p.m. That lands in Milan. And once they land in either of those two cities, they have to take a train to Locarno, Switzerland.
00:23:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. And it's kind of in the middle of these two cities. And they have to decide which one they want to go to, which one they think will be, like, the best train ride. Because I think the flights arrive pretty similar in time, but it's, like, comes down to the train ride. train,
00:23:57
The Amazing Rewatch
So, the Liftonza flight has Tammy and Victor, Christy and Jodi, Jamie and Kara, Mark and Michael, Brad and Victoria, Margie and Luke.
00:24:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Do we need to say who they are? Like, their relationship... We can do that throughout the rest of the episode. And then the Air France, um which is the one that is in Milan, right?
00:24:22
The Amazing Rewatch
and Yeah. We hear that this one apparently has the shorter train ride. Yeah. So this one has Keisha and Jen, Mel and Mike, Amanda and Chris, Preston and Jennifer, and Steve and Linda.
00:24:34
The Amazing Rewatch
So the Lufthansa flight does land first. Yeah. um And the train station is in the airport, so it's like really easy to get there. Yeah.
00:24:43
The Amazing Rewatch
We've been to the Zurich airport. have. We were there for a long time, but we didn't have to get on the train. don't even remember there was a train there. Well, we were stuck in one terminal for several hours. Yeah.
00:24:56
The Amazing Rewatch
With nothing to do. I thought that airport only had one terminal. I know. It wasn't a very big one. So that surprised me when I heard that it said that the the train station was in the airport. different airport in Zurich.
00:25:08
The Amazing Rewatch
maybe we Maybe we're just in like a regional. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. So the both flights land and yeah, they're not too far apart from each other. All the teams get onto the trains. um Preston and Jennifer were on the Air France one that landed in Milan and they missed that train.
00:25:30
The Amazing Rewatch
And they're not getting along. Yeah. Preston doesn't talk very nicely to her. Um, Christy and Jodi, who are on the Zurich train, talked to this local lady and she said that, oh, I usually switch trains here and I get there faster and I'm going exactly where you're going. So follow me and I'll take you there.
00:25:52
The Amazing Rewatch
And so they do that. They kind of do it secretly so nobody sees them and everybody's like, oh, where's Jodi and Christy? I don't see What happened to I don't know how they can do anything secretly with their rolling luggage. They have these giant rolling bags.
00:26:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. It's so interesting because i think they're like backpacks that can roll. Yeah. They look like backpacks, but they pull them all the time. And they're the flight attendants. Yeah. It's interesting that they would make that choice to pull their bags instead of wear them.
00:26:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Or by that kind of bag. I don't know. i can um I can't imagine that that would be any easier or faster than carrying than carrying it on your bag. And once you do have to start carrying it with like a metal handle and wheels and stuff, wouldn't be more uncomfortable type of backpack to wear? You would think.
00:26:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So anyways, they follow the, there's like these old ladies that are leading them there and they get off the train and they said, oh, they're, they're moving.
00:26:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Like the ladies are fast. The old ladies are fast, but they, it says once teams, oh, ah once teams leave the train, they must make their way on foot to the church of San Antonio and sign the register to receive their next message from the priest.
00:27:07
The Amazing Rewatch
And Jodi and Christy are first to get there and they get, they sign their name and they get a little scroll kind of thing from the priest. And it's a 715 departure for the next day. Yeah. so um It says, um, at 715 AM, be ready to continue your journey.
00:27:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Follow the map to the campsite. Yeah. And they literally are sleeping in tents. Yeah. But they're like sleeping in the manger with hay. It's kind of weird. and They're like,
00:27:34
The Amazing Rewatch
Somebody says, I guess hay isn't just for horses. They're sleeping on hay. It's kind of... I don't know. so all the teams are getting off the trains and stuff. The first train...
00:27:46
The Amazing Rewatch
They all make it their first. So the 715 departure, like we said, have Jodi and Christy, Tammy and Victor, which are the brother and sister lawyers, Margie and Luke, which are the mother son and Mark and Michael, the stunt men.
00:28:00
The Amazing Rewatch
And then 730 have Brad and Victoria, the married couple, Jamie and Cara, the cheerleaders and Mel and Mike and Mel and Mike who are from the second second train, the father son team.

00:28:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Did we say Uh-huh. And so all the teams are sleeping and... so all the teams are sleeping and And they kind of have a they're filming the interactions of the teams in the night at this campsite. And Linda is really is really upset. And she's crying because she had a hard time keeping up and running from the train to this church.
00:29:02
The Amazing Rewatch
And Steve was kind of yelling at her. And she feels bad that she can't keep up, but she said that she's tired, and he said, well, everyone's tired. And it's it's sad that she's so upset. Yeah.
00:29:15
The Amazing Rewatch
And he's not being, like, mean, mean. i think he's frustrated. Yeah. Which it would be frustrating. But also, he is were you surprised? or Like, arent don't you know kind of your limits before you leave for the race?
00:29:32
The Amazing Rewatch
And I don't know. So... We'll see how that goes.
00:29:38
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, in the morning, they are given a picture of the Verchoska Dam, and it says, wish you were here on there. So they have to hop in cabs and say, take us to this place.
00:29:53
The Amazing Rewatch
And some of the people in this first group that leaves at 7.15, they find taxis. find taxis Yeah. um Jodi and Christy are the ones who struggle to a taxi.
00:30:05
The Amazing Rewatch
And so some teams on the 730 departure catch up to them and leave before them. Yeah. Some taxis because they go behind the church to look for caps. Yes, that's right. It's been probably almost two weeks since I watched this episode.
00:30:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, really? Yeah. I just watched it like two hours ago. Yeah. yeah It's been bit of a crazy time. Yeah. We went to Disneyland. Our grandma was in the hospital and she actually passed away and we had her funeral and went to Disneyland and there was like a lot that happened in the last couple of weeks. Yeah.
00:30:37
The Amazing Rewatch
We're hoping to get everything out on the schedule in April. yeah april We'll try our best if we don't. Don't hate us, but we're really going to try our best. Not that anybody cares that much.
00:30:50
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't think anybody's going to be like, I was expecting this on this day and you did not give it to me. But um Mark and Michael are the first ones to this dam. Yeah.
00:31:01
The Amazing Rewatch
And it's a roadblock and says, who has nerves of steel? And how you, you just have to know. Right? You're at a dam and it says nerves of steel. It's going to be something like you're jumping yeah off this bridge. Yes.
00:31:16
The Amazing Rewatch
And... Which is exactly what it is. so Oh, shoot. I just closed my notes. Oh. Well, it the task is to perform a death-defying leap on the second highest bungee jump in the world.
00:31:28
The Amazing Rewatch
And Mark and Michael, being stunt doubles, they are very excited. They're like, yes! Yes! Michael decides that he's going to do it. um And then the next few teams that come up, Victor is doing it. Luke, Mike, and Victoria. Yeah, so Mark and Michael are the first to arrive. when They choose Michael to do it.
00:31:50
The Amazing Rewatch
and Tammy and Victor come up right behind him, but Victor jumps before Michael. Yeah. Maybe they just got there first because it was like first come, first serve. Right?
00:32:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. They just walked faster. Made it faster from the clue box to the... They have longer legs. Yeah. So, yeah. Luke from Margie and Luke does it. Mike from Mike and Mel does it. And Victoria from Victoria and...
00:32:16
The Amazing Rewatch
brad was like is it bruce is it do it and they're all they all do it pretty good um the 745 teams depart and um jamie and cara did the same thing with the taxis they went to the wrong area so they really struggled to find some so they were in the 730 group and they didn't get in a taxi until after the 745 group left yeah yeah Yeah, when Jodi and Christy arrive, Jodi is chosen to do the roadblock and that's the person who is like, what we're expecting. She says, this is the one thing I didn't want to do. Then why did you say you were going to do the roadblock?
00:32:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Chris from Chris and Amanda does it and... um jamie i don't know which one how jamie and cara do it jamie jamie and preston and jen jen and steve and steve steve is the last one to do it yeah so it like gives us times actually so the last three preston jumps at 858 jen at 907 steve at
00:33:30
The Amazing Rewatch
so yeah So they're pretty fast between people. How would you feel doing this? It's pretty crazy. Yeah. Like that's a big jump. Yeah.
00:33:40
The Amazing Rewatch
It's a big jump and you go face first. Yeah, I don't like that. But I guess you would have to in a bungee jump, wouldn't you? I don't always do that. I've never been bungee jumping. I've never been either. um i would I would do it if I had to on the race, but I wouldn't like be like, I am going purposefully book a bungee jumping off of this.
00:34:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So I would do it, but. but Victor says what we're all thinking because he was like, i didn't know going into this if I had a fear of heights, but I think I do.
00:34:13
The Amazing Rewatch
I think I do. Because like getting on the edge of that, you would be like, yeah so Yeah, because we we always say that. We're like, don't know I a fear heights because I've never been put into a position knowing that fear. needing to be afraid. Yeah.
00:34:25
The Amazing Rewatch
So maybe. You would find out right then and there. But I would do it for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And i just think about like all of these things that people are doing.
00:34:38
The Amazing Rewatch
Nobody in 37 seasons has ever died doing the amazing race. Like they're not going to put you into positions that like are so dangerous that you can't. I think the thing that we do next is more dangerous than this.
00:34:51
The Amazing Rewatch
The cheese. Yes. Yes.
00:34:55
The Amazing Rewatch
It's much more dangerous than this bungee jump thing. Yeah. But yes, I agree. Like we, I'm sure they have tested so many things so many times before they let anybody do it.
00:35:08
The Amazing Rewatch
I think the closest anybody's got to dying on the race was when that watermelon hit that girl in the face. Yeah. I feel like that's got to be coming up in the next few seasons. Yeah. um Yeah.
00:35:20
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm surprised it didn't like take her head off. Or yeah. Break her nose. That was a very weird. Yeah. We'll get into that someday soon. I'm sure anybody that's an amazing race fan knows exactly what we're talking about. Yes.
00:35:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay, so the teams who finish this jump, they start getting clues that say, um take the train to Interlochen and find the clean Rugen vice to receive your next clue.
00:35:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Which I don't know what that is. Like, it's a town or a cheese place. I don't know. It's just someplace in Interlochen, Switzerland. Yeah, I don't know. um Let's just talk about Switzerland before we go oh yeah came forward.
00:36:03
The Amazing Rewatch
This is only our second time to Switzerland. was going to say, i don't feel... and when was the other time? In season three, with Zach and Flo one, they like, they did that Germany-Austria.
00:36:19
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah But then they went to Switzerland next. Okay. I don't remember what they did there. But we haven't been there since season three, which is kind of weird. We've been to other places like... Multiple times. Yeah. How many times have to India now?
00:36:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Like five. Seven already. Oh, seven. Wow. In Italy, five.
00:36:37
The Amazing Rewatch
um Anyways, so Switzerland is a landlocked country in West Central Europe, bordered by Italy, France, Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein.
00:36:50
The Amazing Rewatch
It's a federal republic composed of 26 cantons, which I think are like states, and the federal buildings and government stuff are based in Bern.
00:37:03
The Amazing Rewatch

R-O-M-A-N-S-H. ah much yeah It originated as the old Swiss Confederacy in the late Middle Ages and has maintained a policy of armed neutrality since the 16th century and has not fought in an international war since 1815.
00:37:32
The Amazing Rewatch
It joined the UN n in 2002. It pursues an active foreign policy that includes frequent involvement in peace building and global governance. It was the birthplace of the Red Cross and hosts the headquarters or offices most... Is that why the Red Cross looks like their flags?
00:37:48
The Amazing Rewatch
Or the name is Red Cross. I don't know. Well, yeah. One or the other. Because the Swiss flag is a red cross, isn't it? Or it's a white flag with, I mean, a red flag with a white cross. Yeah.
00:37:59
The Amazing Rewatch
It has a lot of headquarters or offices for ah most international institutions. it has It's among the world's most developed countries with the highest nominal wealth per adult and the eighth highest GDP per capita.
00:38:14
The Amazing Rewatch
It performs highly on several international metrics like economic competitive competitiveness, press freedom, um highest quality of life, but also some of the highest cost of living.
00:38:29
The Amazing Rewatch
It has a reputation for its established baking and sector and for specialization in watchmaking and chocolate production. Yes.
00:38:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. locano is so look look yeah lo carno is a southern swiss town located on the

northern shore of lake maguri at the southern foot of the swiss alps has a population of sixteen thousand in the city and about fifty six thousand in the larger area it's the seventy fourth largest city in switzerland official language is Italian hosts an international film festival in August every year
00:39:13
The Amazing Rewatch
When I was looking for Lorkano, I accidentally typed Lorkana. Lorkana, which is a new game. like its It's like Pokemon, but for Disney.
00:39:27
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh. It's cards, like card trading and stuff. And I was like, what is... This is not... Yeah. It's not Lorkana, it's Lorkano. I was wondering if it was like lucerne but just like the no like the actual pronunciation you know how like we americanize some oh city names and stuff it's a different okay thing because you have been to lucerne right mm-hmm
00:39:58
The Amazing Rewatch
I have not been to Switzerland. it is on my list. Yeah, it's pretty Pretty much everywhere is on my list. So, yeah. Okay. Well, we are heading to Interlochen now after the bungee jumping.
00:40:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And so the first couple teams like Tammy and Victor, Mike and Mel and Mark and Michael, they get on a train and like they're the first group to head to this train. Victor and Tammy got to the train station first and they found out that it leaves in five minutes and they see the other two teams kind of show up and they're like, pretend you don't see them. Yeah.
00:40:38
The Amazing Rewatch
Or Tammy says, pretend you don't see them. And Victor's like, well, they're going on the same train as us anyways. Let's not make any enemies right now. And he's like, but act like you don't know for sure what we're doing or where we're going.
00:40:50
The Amazing Rewatch
And when they get on the train, Mel, the dad, he's like, I don't know if trust you guys yet. I caught my eye on you. And they get there first and the clue says, join the local workforce. Choose a pair of antique cheese racks and climb to the top of the hill.
00:41:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Then transport 200 pounds of cheese from the aging shed to the bottom of the hill. Once teams have stacked the cheese, they will receive their next clue. So this is crazy. This hill is like 45 degree angle. yeah And Switzerland is rainy and wet.
00:41:28
The Amazing Rewatch
So it's like long, slippery grass and lot of mud. Muddy. And these wheels of cheese are huge. They're 50 pounds each. And when they say antique, traditional cheese racks, they mean it.
00:41:41
The Amazing Rewatch
So they're like... It's like a backpack almost. Like you put like the straps over your shoulders and then there's like a like a shelf that's behind you. Yeah, they're made of wood. So there's kind of a shelf.
00:41:53
The Amazing Rewatch
There's a long board going down your back. There's like a shelf at the bottom and then there's one at the top that like sits on your head so that you can carry it But they're not very sturdy or ah very good.
00:42:05
The Amazing Rewatch
Anyways, so the team start walking up this hill and like they can't even get up the hill. With no cheese. Yeah, they're falling. They're breaking their cheese racks everywhere.
00:42:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Mel pulls a groin muscle. Yeah. It's like his brakes on the way up. They haven't even got cheese yet. And... um marg luke and marge margie margie arrive as well anyway so these first group of teens are doing it and it's like everyone is slipping and falling these huge blocks of cheese are rolling down the hill that's why i'm like this is more dangerous if somebody was at the bottom of the hill in this 50 pound block of cheese comes at 100 miles an hour yeah and there's these local guys down at the bottom of the hill just like laughing at them yeah
00:42:55
The Amazing Rewatch
And it seems like like once you have picked a wheel of cheese, like even if it rolls down the hill, you have to go get that one. Yeah, you have to stick with the wheel of cheese that you pick. So Mel starts just sliding down the hill on his butt.
00:43:10
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Slowly. But it's like super muddy. Yeah. Wet. But he was like doesn't want to kill himself. Yeah, because he's kind of old. Yeah. And Margie and Luke end up finishing first, but they really struggled.
00:43:26
The Amazing Rewatch
And they're... They also adopt the the butt sliding method. I think most teams did something kind of like that. They... Yeah, their carrier thing broke long time ago.
00:43:39
The Amazing Rewatch
It's crazy. At one point, Luke is, like, running. he like, can't stop himself. He has the thing on his back and this heavy cheese and he's, like, running really fast down hill. And he eventually falls and it shatters behind him. Like, yeah I'm like, I was, like, worried about him.
00:43:55
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And our grandma, the one that just passed away, she lost her teeth like that when she was like eight years old, 10 years old, running running down a hill. And she just like face planted on all of her teeth fell out. Yeah.
00:44:07
The Amazing Rewatch
So she always told us, don't run down a hill. Yeah. And I i always believed her. Yes, I did. I was always terrified. And so now watching these people with cheese on their backs.
00:44:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. Going down this hill. I'm like, be careful. So Margie and Luke end up finishing first. And the clue says, take a taxi to the bus stop in the town of Steckleburg.
00:44:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Steckleburg. Yeah. And listen for the group of yodelers that will lead you to the next pit stop or lead you to the pit stop. Yeah. Tammy and Victor finish.
00:44:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Mark and Michael finish and Mike and Mel finish. And all the other teams from the bungee jump start arriving now. So they're kind of like in two groups.
00:44:52
The Amazing Rewatch
The only team that hasn't arrived are Christy and Jody because there was the train from Locarno. Locarno? Which one? Locarno? to interlocking there was a train that left later but it was a faster train and he arrived earlier there's a train that left earlier but took longer yeah and kristi and jody took that one yeah so they got their last But not too far behind everyone.
00:45:20
The Amazing Rewatch
So all these teams are starting to do their cheese thing and finding out very quickly how difficult it is and how scary it is and how you basically just have to like just sit.
00:45:30
The Amazing Rewatch
Sit and yeah. Yeah. Slide down the hill instead of carry it. The thing that I thought was the smartest method was Steve of Steve and Linda. He just like put his cheese rack on the ground and strapped three wheels of cheese to it and just like pulled it like a sled almost. yeah And then Linda carried the other one down on her butt. Yeah.
00:45:53
The Amazing Rewatch
So we had talked about earlier in the episode how Linda was really struggling to keep up with people and she like couldn't even make it up the hill almost. And Steve was like, we cannot do this two times. Because it's four wheels of cheese that counts to 200 pounds. Yeah. So if each person takes one in one trip, like some people were trying to take two at a time and it just did not yeah go well.
00:46:14
The Amazing Rewatch
So he was like, we cannot take two trips. We're not going to make it. So he's like, I'm going to take three and you take one. And I was like, how are they going to do that? But they basically don't even use the cheese carrier for its purpose. They like either basically. And it didn't seem to matter. was basically just.
00:46:30
The Amazing Rewatch
do ah however you have to there wasn't any like if you do it this way you get a penalty so yeah and he was like we outsmarted every single one of them yeah and i that's true like that was very smart of them because I don't think they would have made it if they had tried to take two trips yeah Because she was really struggling.
00:46:50
The Amazing Rewatch
But that worked really hard. Yeah. To get up that hill. So, the first group of teams. The first team to arrive is Margie and Luke. And they went a trip to Puerto Vallarta.
00:47:01
The Amazing Rewatch
And Tammy and Victor are right behind them. And they're all on the mat together. and Phil actually does sign language telling Luke about their team number one. Which was really cool. And he was like, Phil was like, is there anything you want to say Luke? And he was like,
00:47:19
The Amazing Rewatch
His mom was translating. Is it translating? I guess translating. It's a language. yeah For him saying, like, I just wanted to prove to people that deaf people can do anything that everybody else can do just without speaking. And i strong and I want be on the race. And yeah, it was they were all emotional and it was yeah really cool. Yeah.
00:47:43
The Amazing Rewatch
So number team number three are Mark and Michael, and team number four are Mel and Mike.
00:47:49
The Amazing Rewatch
um I think Amanda and Chris were right there, too. Team number five. Yeah. there were They were in the second group of teams, but... And I still am like, who are they? i don't Yeah.
00:48:00
The Amazing Rewatch
The only thing i like remember about them is that they talk nice to each other. They're a romantic team that actually talks nice to each other and act like they like each other, which is crazy. Sometimes rare. um So the other teams are still doing the cheese thing.
00:48:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Preston and Jennifer are struggling. So Preston's trying to carry two cheeses at once. And Jennifer is carrying one, but Preston loses one of his cheeses and it goes flying way out of the way and he has to go get it.
00:48:35
The Amazing Rewatch
And that makes a huge difference. Like that he has to go find his cheese in the trees. and Cheese in the trees. And, um Brad and Victoria are the married couple from Ohio and they're like an older couple, but they actually seem to be in pretty good shape.
00:48:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And they talk about in their introduction thing how they like work out all the time and they're in good shape. And they're the only team that didn't have to slide down the hill on their butt. Yes. They actually carried the cheese up and down or carried themselves up and carried the cheese down. Yeah. And that's pretty impressive.
00:49:14
The Amazing Rewatch
They... so Steve and Linda left the task before they were like fifth to leave the task. Mm-hmm. But then they, like, get headed to the pit stop and they can't find.
00:49:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, you're supposed to listen for the yodelers to go find the pit stop and they don't go the right way. i don't even know what happens. But several teams then pass them. So Brad and Victoria check in as team number six.
00:49:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And, yeah, Phil has them. He's like, let me see your pants. And they, like, bend over and they have fruit they have clean bottoms. Yeah. They were the only ones. And then Jamie and Cara passed Steve and Linda too.
00:49:54
The Amazing Rewatch
And then they're team number seven. And so do Keisha and Jen. Yeah. So three teams passed them. Amanda and Chris were team number five. And I think um Steve and Linda left right after them. Yeah, they would have been six if they. And they got nine.
00:50:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So it took them a long time to find They were like walking close by, like all the places that you could see them, like it was very similar to where everybody else was walking. So it's really interesting that they got so lost in a very small place.
00:50:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So the last two teams are Christy and Jody and Preston and Jennifer. So Christy and Jody were the last team to arrive because of the train. And at one point, I think Jodi lost a wheel of cheese at the top of the hill.
00:50:39
The Amazing Rewatch
They're like halfway down the hill. and She's like, I don't have ah cheese. they have to go back and get it. and then Preston lost his cheese in the trees. And Jennifer wasn't able to really carry it So these last two teams, it's like a, it's really a race to the pit stop. Yeah. They arrive about about the same time.
00:50:56
The Amazing Rewatch
And Jodi and Christy did have the good sense to not bring their roller bags with them for this. So that helped. Yeah. And they're like listening for the music and they're running and you can see like they're really right neck and neck.
00:51:11
The Amazing Rewatch
And you can see the shot is like Jodi and Christy running towards the mat ahead of Preston and Jennifer and Preston has Jennifer on his back. That does not seem like that would be faster. Why? yeah Like what?
00:51:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Because you would know you're the last two teams because you're the ones leaving the cheese last. Yeah. Why would you put her on your back? Yeah, I don't know. Is that slow?
00:51:34
The Amazing Rewatch
i I can't imagine that anybody would be that slow. Like that much slower than Carrie. yeah yeah And yeah they get to the mat. So k Christine, Jodi are team number 10 and Preston and Jennifer are number 11.
00:51:49
The Amazing Rewatch
and they are eliminated and they kind of seem like they're surprised that they were team number 11. don't know. i don't know
00:51:57
The Amazing Rewatch
But I'm not really going to miss them because someone's very nice to her. Yeah. And it didn't seem like they were trying that hard. No. And really, and he said, I'm so competitive. I'm so competitive.
00:52:10
The Amazing Rewatch
youre Just because you get angry doesn't mean you're competitive. I hate it when people say that. I'm so competitive. No, you just have anger issues. You're not competitive. You're just mean to your significant other and you need to figure that out.
00:52:25
The Amazing Rewatch
If you were competitive, you would have done a lot of things differently.
00:52:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I... um
00:52:31
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't think that they will be missed that much, but it's – there's a lot of times where, like, the first team eliminated is like, dang it. I wish that we could have seen them longer, but this one is like, eh.
00:52:43
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. That – so actually –
00:52:48
The Amazing Rewatch
ah Sorry, what?

00:55:24

Season Predictions and Speculations
00:55:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Because. zach and Flo did a fast forward and they never actually went That's right. Austria. Yeah. Or something like that. Germany or one or the other. The Switzerland leg featured teams competing in tasks like searching for a key in the glittersch.

Facing a fear of heights challenge and potentially encountering a roadblock involving archery.
00:56:10

00:56:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Let's see. You say that you don't know who wins this season? No, I don't know. I want to know who you think is going to be in the top three. Okay.
00:56:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, I think
00:56:32
The Amazing Rewatch
that um I have to go back and look at the names. Tammy and Victor, the siblings. Um,
00:56:43
The Amazing Rewatch
Margie and Luke, the mother's son, and Brad and Victoria, the married couple from Ohio. I don't think Mel and Mike win or get to the final three. I think they make it pretty far, though.
00:56:59
The Amazing Rewatch
And the other teams I don't think are strong enough.
00:57:04
The Amazing Rewatch
