The Amazing Race season 26, episode 5, “Get In that Lederhosen, Baby,” just finished airing! Read our recap to find out which team got eliminated.
Bergen and Kurt leave first and find out that they are flying to Germany where they will take part in Oktoberfest. All eight teams grab the same flight and land in Germany the next morning. There they have to dress in traditional lederhosen attire and head to Alter Peter Tower.
At the top of the tower they must locate the cars that they will then drive to their next location. Laura and Tyler lead the pack but accidentally leave their fanny pack behind.
Meanwhile, a few other teams can’t even find the cars despite having seen them from the tower. Jackie and Jeffrey have a nasty fight when she feels like he disrespected her.
Kurt and Bergen have so much trouble with the manual transmission that they decide to leave the car and take a taxi, knowing it will mean a penalty.
Route Info
The teams must drive their cars in reserve through a winter wonderland and write down the clues they see on signs. Aly and Steve finish first and find that the clues actually spell out their next location, Schliersee.
Laura and Tyler finish next but realize they must wait for the team with their fanny pack to show up. Kurt and Bergen find out they can’t complete the challenge without their car and will receive a two hour penalty.
Jackie and Jeffrey show up and pretend not to know about Laura and Tyler’s fanny pack in their car. But Laura isn’t having it and searches the car anyway, finding it hidden under the seats.
Detour
Stein or Stack: Each team must figure out how to carry 22 steins all at once or partake in a crate stacking competition.
Aly and Steve decide to carry the steins and complete it with only one try. The clue tells them to head to the Markus Wasmeier Museum.
Hayley and Blair are not so lucky with the stein challenge and drop theirs everywhere. When Matt and Ashely show up and finish it on their first try, Hayley and Blair decide to switch detours.
Jackie and Jeffrey are the first team to try the stacking, but it’s definitely not as easy as it looks. Blair and Hayley almost have it, but drop with just one crate left. Jackie and Jeffrey finish the stacking first with Jenny and Jelani not too far behind them.
Road Block
The teams must learn a traditional courtship song in order to receive their next clue.
Aly decides to take on the Road Block despite being nervous about it. Her first try earns her a bucket of water in the face, but gets it on the second try. When the rest of the teams show up, the guys think it’s hilarious to see the girls get water thrown in their face.
Pit Stop
The teams must drive to Lake Spitzingsee for the Pit Stop. Aly and Steve win first place for the fifth leg of The Amazing Race.
2nd place: Matt and Ashley
3rd place: Jeffrey and Jackie
4th place: Jenny and Jelani
5th place: Blair and Hayley
6th place: Laura and Tyler
7th place: Rochelle and Mike
Bergen and Kurt never make it to the pit stop and are eliminated from the race.
