New at BOP: Review: Matrix Resurrections Movie Review: Moonfall Movie Reviews: Scream The #1 Movie in America November Forecast The Many Saints of Newark October Forecast New Trivia Question All site updates Share & Save   Tweet Print this column

Jaymes & James get their clue and decide to give the Fast Forward a try. Even though they can assume the twins are in front of them, this is a smart decision, especially since they have enough of a time lead on at least two other teams. If they get there and the Fast Forward has been claimed, they can just move on.

Well, that’s exactly what they will be doing because the twins successfully complete it. Evil wins again and they are heading to the home of Rembrandt’s mistress for the Pitstop. And the boys are heading to the herring market.

Our dating divorcees are on their new flight at about the same time as Trey & Lexi landing in Amsterdam. Team Longhorn immediately disregards the Fast Forward clue and follows in Team Beefcake’s footsteps.

For some unknown reason, Phil is amused by Team Despicable and they are overjoyed to be checked in as team number one. On top of that, they receive $5,000 each or as I like to think about it, they receive 50 times the amount they stole from James & Abba. Before you ask, NO…I will not let this go. I am happy to report that we are 26 minutes into the episode and will not have to hear from these grating individuals again this leg. Woohoo!!!

Team Beefcake has reached their clue and it’s a Detour: Back in Time or Organ to Grind. For Time, they have to use extras and themselves to recreate Rembrandt’s Night Watch. When it is done correctly they get their clue. For Grind, they have to find one of three organ grinder carts on a bridge. One person operates the organ and the other collects tips. After gaining 30 euros in tips, they will get their clue. They are also warned of a U-Turn ahead. Ja(y)mes go with Organ to Grind.

The guys quickly locate the organ grinder and get to work, with blonde Jaymes shaking his moneymaker for tips and brunette James manning the organ. The fact that they are Chippendales performers makes that previous sentence so much dirtier.

Trey & Lexi have now chosen Grind also and Lexi apparently has been hanging about the twins too much because she expresses her frustration with Jaymes’ conflict about using the U-Turn. Birds of a feather do flock together and in this case, it’s not birds but harpies.

When the tips are not coming in as quickly they would like, Team Beefcake lives up to its name and the boys don the Chippendales cuffs and collars. In no time, they have earned all 30 euros and have their next clue in hand. They are heading to Museum Geelvinck on foot.

The final two flights have landed, with Abbie & Ryan having no lead on Team Beekman. They collectively decide to continue working together and Josh & Brent seem accepting of the fact that they will be the ones eliminated. The only way that Abbie & Ryan don’t get sent home is if they can use a U-Turn on Team Beekman, if they get there first. That’s a big “if” and it all depends upon which team actually U-Turns Abbie & Ryan. Team Longhorn will definitely do it but Jaymes & James are conflicted.
