The Amazing Race Season 14 Episode 2: Your Target is your Partner's Face(Germany)


For the Leg 2 of the Amazing Race, each team went from Switzerland to Bavaria, Germany.
The Roadblock required one team member to paraglide down a mountain to a landing zone, where their partner was waiting. In the event of unfavourable winds, racers had a choice between waiting an undetermined amount of time for optimal weather conditions or taking a 60-minute hike down the mountain
Only Mel paraglide the mountain due to strong winds, all the other teams choose to walk. Mel said it is due to Divine Intervention.

Linda who according to his husband steve did the road block has no sense of direction was lost in the alps and asked someone to drive her to the cable car. They manage to get back in the game but eliminated when they came in last.


The Detour was a choice between Bavarian Dolly and Austrian Folly. In Balancing Dolly, teams had to ride Segways over a two-mile stunt course. In Austrian Folly, team members had to throw Bavarian pies at their partner's face until they found one with cherry filling. After both tasks, teams had to find a wood-cutting machine and get a piece of wood stamped with the location of the Pit Stop.


Brother and sisters Tammy and Victor was the first to arrive to pit stop in Schloss Hellbrunn in Salzgburg,Austria.
