The Okies and the Hairballs are at the Coach Museum in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Tim & Danny opt for Miles, while Brandon & Adam prefer Tiles. So that was a short-lived partnership.
The Afghanimals and the blondes collect their paintings from the rooftop. While walking away with one, Leo is flagged down by a local who wants to tell him where it is. That's odd -- it's usually the other way around.
Tim & Marie are the next team to land in Lisbon. As they get a cab, Marie VOs that there may be another team behind them or there might not be. Of course they also have the Express Pass, but they're going to try not to use it. See? In addition to all the other reasons the Express Pass is for chumps, it's just another thing to worry about when you need to be focusing on the race.
Just look at Chester & Ephraim, who already have more than enough to worry about. Namely, they're still in London and stranded by yet another delayed flight. In fact, it looks like it's not leaving until 9:15 that night, and this after every other team is already on the ground in Lisbon. Chester talks about how this is different from the NFL, in that practice and training determine how well you play on Sunday, whereas this is all stuff they can't control. Well, they could have been on a flight with Tim and Marie and at least be in the right country by now. So how did that five-hour head start work out for them?
Nicky & Kim reach the Roadblock, and Kim volunteers for it. We get to look at the Ren-Fest jugglers and stilt-walkers instead of Kim putting on her armor, but soon she's firing arrows at the eight remaining shields. The first one hits within an inch of one of them, but the Roadblock is slings and arrows, not horseshoes and hand grenades. Nicky calls out that the king and queen is watching. Kim hits a target on her second try, confirming with a knight that she's good to go before hugging him, de-armoring, and collecting their shield-clue in third place. Kim says she couldn't have done much more of that. Well, I'm so glad she found a way to whine even in a leg where they're doing well.
Brandon & Adam reach the gallery that's hosting the Tiles Detour option, and are pleased with their choice. "He lives in the woods," Brandon says. "I mean what else has he got to do other than make puzzles?" Adam leaves that one alone. And you know, I've been spent enough time in northern Minnesota cabins to know that Brandon probably has a point.
