Here we are at the starting line... Phil welcoming everyone and giving them the rules. 8 elimination points. 1st clue is inside envelope on top of luggage they brought -- on the other side of the tarmac. The world is waiting for you. Good luck. Travel safe. GO! And they're off. Everyone racing across the tarmac. Make way to Switzerland. One of two flights. Lufthansa or Air France. All are off to the airport. Mike: We're on the freaking Amazing Race, dude. This is insane!

LAX. Looks like Tammy and Victor arrive first. They discuss the best bet in the shuttle. They decide to try Lufthansa first. Same convo happening in another shuttle but they decide to try Air France. Lufthansa flight carries: Tammy/Victor There are a bunch of others on the flight... but I got kind of lost in the list. Definitely Margie/Luke as we get Luke saying he's worried about his Mom getting behind him. Kisha/Jen say they got info about the train from Milan is a lot shorter than what the folks on the Lufthansa flight have to do and that's why they chose AirFrance. Also on this flight are Mel/Mike and Steven/Linda who say they are nervous about leaving the US. Lufthansa flight are taking train to Switzerland. Folks on Air France off to train station now too. Preston/Jennifer looking lost here, Jennifer says she's never been to a train station. They miss the train. Others on the way and loving the view of Switzerland. Mark and Michael and Jodi and Christie amazed by the sights. Tammy/Victor amazed by the communication between Luke/Margie. Luke says he hopes the other teams' flight got canceled. Margie chuckles. Jennifer/Preston on the later train now. Jennifer says he is frustrated and she can't be around that. She says there is no hope in the air. On the train they are bickering about it. Meanwhile, Christie and Jodie find a lady who says it's faster to change trains. They are going to follow her. The others watch them go but aren't sure what they are doing. Locarno... Must raice on foot to Church of San Antonio. Christie/Jodi are there first. Next train arrives and the others are off. It's a mix of the different teams so I'm not sure if any of them got there faster besides Christie/Jodi who thank the woman who helped them. They get ticket with 7:15 AM and directions to campsite. Tammy/Victor and Luke/Margie also have 7:15. Some others get the 7:30... Mel/Mike get the last 7:30. Kisha/Jen get the 7:45 which is the last time. Steve/Linda and Preston/Jennifer also get 7:45. At the campsite, they all set up places to sleep for the night. There's hay available and someone says, "I guess hay isn't just for horses." Steve/Linda talking and Steve tells Linda she is just slow. Linda crying and apologizing for being slow. She says she's tired. He says everyone else is too but she points out they don't have their husbands yelling at them. She says she doesn't know what to do, she wants to stay in this race really bad.

Sorry for not catching all the teams here... there are so many right now that it's hard to catch the full list of who is on what flight and what train as well as the order in which they come in. Especially since I still have to refer to the image of the teams right now. ETA: Raen.. I watched very slowly and will add some details where possible: <sea> 1. Lufthansa to Zurich train to Locarno (station in airport) Tammy/Victor, Christie/Jodi (find local left train early), Jaime/Cara, Mark/Michael, Brad/Victoria, Margie/Luke 2. Air France to Milan train to Locarno (not in airport) P/J lost Kisha/Jen, Mel/Mike, Amanda/Kris, Preston/Jennifer, Steve/Linda P/J miss train Locarno to Church of San Antonio, sign register departure times Christie/Jodi 1st 7:15am departure Tammy/Victor 2nd 7:15am departure Margie/Luke 3rd 7:15am Mark/Michael last 7:15am. Brad/Victoria 7:30am Jaime/Cara 7:30am Mel/Mike 7:30am Kisha/Jen 7:45am Amanda/Kris 7:45am Steve/Linda 7:45am Preston/Jennifer 7:45am (so they caught up.

In the morning... clue, "Wish you were here..." Must use picture to figure out where they must go next. It's a dam. All of the taxi drivers seem to know where it is... Christie/Jodi are the last out. They aren't sure what they should do about getting a taxi. 7:30 and the next teams are off. Mel/Mike get taxi right away while Cara/Jaime ask for a phone to call someone. Christie/Jodi finally head out. Mark/Michael arrive first. ROADBLOCK: Who has nerves of steel? Have to perform bungee jump off dam. I think it says it's the second highest? I missed that. Mel/Mike are in 4th. Brad/Victoria in 5th place. Cara/Jaime still looking for taxi as next teams get their clue. Amanda/Kris and Preston/Jennifer off next. Steve/Linda are off too. Victor getting ready to do his jump. (Not sure what happened with Mark/Michael, could have sworn they were there first.) Victor freaking out a bit. He says he didn't know he had a fear of heights but he had never done anything like this before.... Victor jumps and screams as he goes. The others watching him. Victor says it was amazing. Luke saying he is scared now that he's looked down. Victor coming back up and the others clapping for him. Gets clue... Take train to Interlochen and find their next clue. Christie/Jodi are in 6th place. Mark doing his jump now. He says he doesn't have any fear. We're getting camera view with the jumping folks here. Jaime and Cara in 8th place. Mark/Michael are off. Luke is getting ready for his jump now. Jennifer/Preston arrive in 9th place. Jodi closing her eyes and taking a deep breath to get ready for her jump. Luke doing his jump now. Margie says she is more scared. Luke says it was so cool, he loved it. Mike doing the jump now. "Oh my God, oh my God." Kisha/Jen in last place. Steve trying to psyche out Kisha/Jen. Victoria does her jump and they head off. Jodi still a little freaked out but heading up for her jump now. Christie is crying for her. Jodi, "Oh. My. God." The guy on the platform asks if she's a bit nervous and she says, "Yes, I'm a lot nervous."

Back with Jodi getting ready to jump and off she goes.... "Holy cow, I can't believe I just did that. Thank God that is over." Christie/Jodi head off. Tammy/Victor arriving at the train station. Mark/Michael getting some advice from their driver. Mel/Mike say they just want to get the train the others are on... Victor saying they don't want to make enemies at this point if they don't have to. Victor telling them they were told to take this one and they are just going to gamble on it. Mel tells Victor they are watching him... "It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that we don't trust you." Kris, Jaime, Jen, and Steve do their jumps and we just quick views of them doing them. Back with Christie/Jodi asking for train to Interlochen. They get on the train that's getting there right now. Brad/Victoria find out that the next train ARRIVES earlier so they decide to pretend they just missed the other one. Other teams arriving in Interlochen now. Have to transport 200lbs of aging cheese from shed to bottom of the hill. They have transport packs to use. Tammy/Victor and Mark/Michael arrive next. Mel/Mike and Luke/Margie arrived first. They are having some difficulty getting up the hill. Mel says he had a groin muscle that was pulling and would ache when his legs would open. Margie says she can only do one thing of cheese at a time. Mel says his cheese thing broke. Mike asking if his dad can even do 1 thing of cheese. Victor has two pieces of cheese but tells Tammy to only do one. Margie's cheese pack breaks and her cheese rolls away. Victor's broke now but the cheese is still in it. Luke having trouble now. Starts running and can't stop. Then falls and loses his cheese. The onlookers start laughing at this. Mel starts sliding down the hill. Editors are being cute here with the music. Everyone having trouble and the onlookers still finding it hilarious. Mel, "Dont let that cheese hit me." (Heh. It's pretty funny.) Christie/Jodi still on train, they talk about Brad/Victoria lying to their face about what train they were on. Luke and Margie have two things of cheese now. Mike to the onlookers, "Yeah, it's funny, keep laughing." Victor telling Tammy she can slide on her but like Mel. Mike passes Mel on his way back up. Mel says it's the only way he can lift it. Others sliding down the hill now too. Mike is waiting for his dad to come back up. Mel holding on tight to his cheese, "Don't drop this cheese." Luke/Margie finish and get their clue. Take taxi to the pit stop. Stechelberg. Have to listen for yodlers who will lead them to the pit stop. Mike helping his dad now. Tammy/Victor and Mark/Michael are off to pit stop now too. Mel/Mike working their way down the hill with more pieces of cheese as other teams arrive now. Someone tells some of them not to drag the packs, they break easy. Mel/Mike are done and off to pit stop. All the teams hurrying up the hill. Linda says she doesn't want to get hurt and then she falls. Jennifer tells Preston she just fell. Linda having trouble getting up the hill. (Note: Brad/Victoria are there but it didn't look like Christie/Jodi were.)

I cant believe they let margie and luke pick up the cheese that rolled away from them - that is how they should do it - just let the cheese roll down the hill, then go get it from whence it stops!
