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.

Amazing Race: Don't Let a Cheese Hit Me!

Amazing Race Season 14 Episode 1: Don't Let a Cheese Hit Me!(Switzerland)



The 14th Season of the Amazing Race started yesterday, February 15, 2009 with a title "Don't let a cheese hit me".

The race started in California, riding the military choppers and on the tarmac they met Pil Keoghan. Their first destination was Switzerland, their first detour, one member of each team has to bungee jump on the Versazca Dam, a 70 story bungee jump and 2nd highest in the world. It is more terrifying than usual since it was right up against a mass of concrete.


But the falling wasn't over. For the second task, the teams had to trudge up a steep, muddy hill with antique racks for carrying cheese, then carry 200 pounds of cheese (in 50-pound wheels) back down the hill. These racks weren't up to the task; as the contestants fell (which just about everyone did), the racks splintered into pieces.Whenever that happened, the wheels of cheese usually got loose too, and then barreled down the hill at an astonishing rate. It didn't look like much fun to do, but watching as people fell and cheese went awry was hilarious. One contestant even commented " please don't let me the cheese hit me". They can do anything just as long that they can pile up the 200 pounds cheese. Married couple Linda and Steve Cole has to resort to pulling the cheese downhill in sitting position.


“A lot of people think deaf people can’t do things, but the deaf can do it. I just want to show people that deaf people can do it.” Luke said as he and her mother win the first leg of the race. While Jennifer and Preston got eliminated by a foot race between Christy and Jodi.
