This week, teams drove from Kiruna, Sweden to Narvik, Norway where they had to ride a gondola to a mountaintop. Nat & Kat, arriving first, decided to try the fast forward - eating an entire sheep head despite the fact that Kat is a a vegetarian... and they did it!Other teams had to do the roadblock - rappel down to a boat off an enormous bridge, get the clue, then ascend back up to the bridge. In the mean time, Nick & Vicki decide to try for the fast forward, but they do not know what the word "taken" means.
Next up, teams had to get to the clue box in the middle of a field where they were faced with the detour - bike - ride up a mountain, find the combination of the matching color-coded lock, ride back down and unlock the lock to get the next clue - or - boat - use a map and direct the boat captain to the correct spot, carry two cod and a chainsaw to a fishing lodge, then get the next clue.
Once they finished the fast forward or the detour, they were directed to the next pit stop at Ankenes Marina.

On to the list! rank. names (last week's rank) - no real changes this week.
1. Nat/Kat (1) = Huge props for doing the eating challenge! I can't imagine how hard that would be for a vegetarian.
2. Michael/Kevin (2) = I just love their attitudes. They are having fun and encourage each other. It's great to see a parent/child team where there are no major issues.
3. Brook/Claire (3) = Love their enthusiasm!
4. Nick/Vicki (4) = What does "taken" mean? They are hilarious to watch, though... and they have great capabilities for the physical tasks.
These ones can go home now:
5. Gary/Mallory (5) = I do not like them. I can't put my finger on why that is. Although, they are another parent/child team with no major issues, so that's a plus.
6. Jill/Thomas (6) = Most boring couple ever!
7. Chad/Stephanie (8) = He is a tool. I cannot wait until they're gone!
Philiminated: Katie/Rachel (7) = I will not miss them. Good riddance!
