Since he has some time to kill while waiting on the winds to slow down, Luke takes time out to sign to the camera, "I really like Jaime and Cara. They're very friendly and nice. And we communicate well." Yes, Luke, I too think they have great racks and nice butts. The other humorous moment occurs when Mel, the elder man with the wounded groin, shouts "Don't be afraid!" to the stuntmen as they arrive. Mel is projecting his insecurity about the fact that they have caught up with him despite the 90 minute head start. Of course, for their parts, the stuntmen look up at the frail old man and wonder, "You're telling me that?" They are, after all, PROFESSIONAL STUNTMEN.

Eventually, every other competitor chooses to hike other than Mel. A nice moment ensues as Mel offers up a prayer of gratitude, stating that he cannot ask for more in life since he has a son who is so wonderful and surroundings that are so beautiful. He knows he has plenty enough luck in life, but if the wind *were* to let up, well, that would be nice. Soon afterward, the wind changes and Mel is able to make his leap of faith. Down below, Tammy makes her way to the finish line ahead of the other competitors to maintain her team's first place lead. Margie is next to arrive in second place followed by Kris, Victoria, Mel (much to Cara's chagrin), Mark, Jaime, Lakisha and Christie.

Meanwhile, editing shows Linda hopelessly lost. She has taken at least one if not several wrong turns and wound up on the roadside. Apparently, it was no easy task for her own camera crew to find her. That's how far off the beaten path she had gone. For the second straight episode, Steve has put his team in position to succeed through clever play only to see his good work undone by Linda's lack of sense of direction. This time, it appears to be a fatal mistake. Editing makes the time lost vague and ambiguous but it's safe to say that they are at least an hour or two behind the others.

Jumping forward to the head of the pack, Tammy and Victor are about to take out some sibling aggressions upon one another. They are given a choice of tasks. One is to ride around an obstacle course on a Segway, but they decide that's a little too Paul Blart: Mall Cop for them (two Paul Blart references in one column! A new record!). Instead, they choose to throw cream pies at each other until their faces grow red. When that happens, this indicates they have found the cherry pie Warrant has been looking for and may proceed to the next clue. This looks like one of the most euphoric challenges in the show's history. Inside of ten throws, Tammy has squirted cherry filling all over brother and they laugh their way out of the building. Moments later, they have been given their next clue, which directs them to the estate of Schloss Hellbrunn where they will hang out with Phil and enjoy their first place finish. To date, Tammy and Victor have been far and away the best overall team.
