Teams travel from Portugal to Norway this week on The Amazing Race and with all teams on the same flight, it's an even playing field! Heading into this fourth leg, Tim and Marie already know they don't want to give their Express Pass to Leo and Jamal or Ally and Ashley, most likely because of their alliance.
When teams arrive, it's 11 at night but bright as day outside. Being this close to the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets, which can really mess with you! The first clue is a Detour, with the choices being Hang Your Heads or Hammer of the Cods. Both involve transporting gross, fly ridden fish across town but Hang Your Heads is a much quicker task. The baseball wives and the Oklahoma boys spend time with the cod, pushing them to the back of the pack.
A Road Block asks one team member to bungee jump into frigid waters to retrieve their next clue (which is when I would stare at my partner and say, "After you!"). Brandon and Adam are the first to finish, while Jason struggles to reach his release cord, costing him some precious time.
Next up is a Ford Challege, and teams have to drag a boulder to grab their last clue before racing to the pit stop. Tim and Danny help Ally and Ashley get their truck in reverse, but it remains to be seen if the girls would do the same and help them through a tough task.
It seems Tim and Marie have dropped a clue, which should undoubtedly result in a penalty. They have 87 Express Passes and it may not matter... unless this is a non-elimination round... which it is. So there's that.
Brandon and Adam arrive first and just like the day that never ends in Norway, this leg never ends either. On to next week!
The Amazing Race airs Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
