Well, the ads are saying that we're finally getting out of India and heading toward Europe... and in winter/snow conditions, no less... Carnage might abound, hopefully...

Cowboys dug themselves into a hole...

Ron got lost at the Roadblock...

Zev couldn't stand the noise...

Trotters won the leg, and Ron/Christina were eliminated...

Cowboys arrive at the same travel agency as Trotters and Zev/Justin, but choose to take a slightly later flight, arriving at 6:00am instead of 5:35am like most of the others...

"Route Info"
Posted by vince3 on 04-17-11 at 08:12 PM
Phil informs them to use the backup camera to get the clue on the pavement...


Winners of this leg will EACH win a 2012 Ford Focus...


Schloss Schallaburg...

Gary somehow is playing with the controls instead of putting it in reverse... and the Cowboys have arrived in Vienna...

Gary and Mallory didn't hear Phil tell them to put the car in reverse to get the clue; they are hitting the navigation panel on the dashboard.

Edit: they heard him, they just didn't follow the directions correctly.

the Globetrotters mangle more words then several teams put together.


"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by vince3 on 04-17-11 at 08:18 PM
Fortunately for Gary, Phil's video recommends putting it forward and then reverse again to re-activate the backup camera...


Goths, Zev/Justin, and Sista Act all stop at a convenience store and get a map... Trotters use a hotel, and Gary/Mallory also get a map... Cowboys ask a truck driver...


They get a dusty book and are to head toward the National Library....

Is there some rule against using the nav system that's in the car?

"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by vince3 on 04-18-11 at 05:38 PM
Dunno if there's a rule or not... or whether they were afraid that the time it would take to figure the thing out might outweigh the time saved once they get it working...

"Detour!"
Posted by vince3 on 04-17-11 at 08:22 PM
Long Hard Walk or Quick and Easy Meal...


Walk is transfer a couch from Freud's house to the museum a mile away...

Meal is ride a Ferris Wheel as they eat a meal with a traditional violinist! They have only one rotation/12 minutes to eat the meal, though....


"RE: Detour!"
Posted by Snidget on 04-17-11 at 08:24 PM
Food with music is never a good sign on TAR.

"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by MsShel330 on 04-17-11 at 08:25 PM
Detour: Quick & Easy Meal or Long Hard Walk
Meal, go to the Ferris wheel made famous in the Orson Welles movie and eat a traditional Austrian meal in the 12 minutes it takes for the ride to go around
Walk, go to Sigmund Freud's house and get an analyst couch and take it to his old office at the Univ of Vienna.

Jen on the meal, "I'll bet this is the biggest weiner I've ever had in my mouth." Okkaayyy

A Trotter has to take a leak, so he does so outside the building as the Goths arrive at the Library...


The meal's Schnitzel with vegetables and a piece of chocolate cake...


Trotters are heading for walk as Sista Act and Zev/Justin are on the Wheel... Sista Act's past the halfway point, and Z/J just hit halfway...

Goths are also doing Walk....


Sista Act failed, so they're gonna try Walk instead of trying it a second time.... Zev/Just also FAIL! They're also heading to Walk to lick their wounds...

There should be a penalty for being so nasty - peeing on a library?


Capn2patch put me in motion!

Posted by vince3 on 04-17-11 at 08:29 PM
Since Trotters and Goth went to Walk immediately, they're in the lead....

Gary/Mallory are also approaching the Fail point...


Cowboys finally arrive at the Library and are heading for Walk...


Gary/Mallory ALSO FAIL!


Meal attempts: 0 for 3!

Whining and moaning and complaining is happy and positive.

Kent's having issues with carrying it up the hill, since it's hard to use the dolly up the snowy or rock salt'd sidewalks...


Trotters arrive at the museum first, but have a slip on the steps...


Drive themselves to Salzburg and head to another restaurant... and since we've still got a Roadblock to go: Uh-oh...


Gary/Mallory arrive at Freud Museum in last...


Vyxsin practically drags Kent to the final point... Sista Act close behind.


"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by vince3 on 04-17-11 at 08:39 PM
Zev/Justin arrive at a different point of the museum... and now have to go down then back up...

Cowboys finish Walk in 4th, and Zev/Justin are in 5th...

Gary/Mallory arrive at the drop off point in last...


"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by kidflash212 on 04-17-11 at 08:43 PM

Are Kent & Vyxsin trying to get eliminated?

I think they are trying to get me to throw a brick through my TV, if nothing else.

Puh-leez let them go next week!!

"Roadblock"
Posted by vince3 on 04-17-11 at 08:49 PM
Who's Feeling Lucky As Can Be?


Dress in traditional Chimney Sweep gear, climb to the top of a building, and sweep a chimney... once done, head to the bottom of the chimney to claim their clue...


Trotters are there first, and they have to sweep 3 times before heading down...


Drive to the next Pit Stop: Villa Trapp, the real home of the Von Trapp family...


"RE: Roadblock"
Posted by jbug on 04-18-11 at 09:43 AM
Was that the easiest Roadblock e.v.e.r on TAR?

"RE: Roadblock"
Posted by vince3 on 04-18-11 at 12:19 PM
It at least ranks up there....

Zev/Justin have arrived at Villa Trap in 1st and win the Ford Focus for each of them...

They get to go outside and inspect their cars...


Trotters are in 2nd.
Goths are in 3rd.
Sista Act are in 4th.
Cowboys are in 5th.

Gary/Mallory are in last, and are NOT ELIMINATED!

This was a true non-elimination leg, and Gary/Mallory will have to deal with a Speed Bump next leg... (and I'm toast in the Casino...)

Cars sitting in front of Villa Trapp, with Michigan license plates.

Or perhaps just creative editing?

Product placement, Motor City motif. Not Sin City, not Windy City, no one's Emerald City...

Gary and Mallory are the last team to arrive but it's a non-elim leg so they live to race another day.

"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"

Kent & Vyxsin think they should fight more...

I think my ears just screamed.

Next week they're in Switzerland where they rid funny little electric bikes and eat raclette.

The voice-over for next week's episode preview wasn't Phil! Has that happened before?

"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by michel on 04-17-11 at 09:13 PM
I'm sure it hasn't. At first, I thought something was wrong with my TV, then I thought it was because I had the Canadian feed but what was that about? Maybe there was something wrong with the original promos and they realized it so late that Phil was unavailable to do a new voice over.

"RE: TAR 18 Ep8 ECST"
Posted by michel on 04-17-11 at 09:10 PM
Funniest lines of the evening:

Jen: "She's my sister, she's my blood so I can't get rid of her."

Justin, after failing to eat all the food: "I want to talk to the manager."

Big Easy looked funny with the suit.
I was thinking of Seinfeld when we saw FT peeing on a library and hoped they'd get arrested.

Winning emmies has its perks: Survivor lost its car sponsorship but TAR gets to give away 2 cars! Of course, there isn't a car curse on TAR.
