Team Grabbie finds the street organ, which is mostly draped in tarps and clear plastic sheeting against the rain, and Ryan starts cranking while Abbie desperately dances for the sparse traffic. In the cab to Ransdorp, Josh is saying, "everybody wants them out of the race because they want to keep us in the race because we're not the strongest competitors." "Well, then we should just prove them wrong them," Brent says gently. "Can we prove them wrong?" Josh doesn't seem convinced they're doing the right thing. Are we sure they came here through Oslo and not Stockholm? Because Josh appears to have a wicked case of that syndrome.
Abbie seems to be getting into the task, dancing for and occasionally with passing locals. One woman in a green rain jacket makes Abbie do several turns with her before announcing, "I'm going to make it so you're done." So after giving her a big hug, Abbie goes from 24 Euros to 30 while Ryan keeps cranking and glowering, clearly unaware of the moving scene currently transpiring on the other side of the organ from him. But then he gives their benefactor a hug as well, and Abbie gives her another, even longer one, crying on her shoulder and everything. And then Abbie and Ryan hug each other. Less hugging, more racing, you two. There's still a non-elimination leg left.
