Survivor burned a lot of barns tonight. Let’s see if TAR can keep the fires going!

Man, Phil is cool even when he’s shilling.

Is this the 1st time TAR is going to a new country? At least younger than me. 

[Ladybugnine]

I hope that earlier flight doesn't have a layover.

[Browncoat]

Boo!  They didn't tell me times the teams left the pit stop.

Leaving earlier doesn't always mean arriving earlier!

[Quilt Fairy]

Well, there was a first time for every country in TAR.

Also, they may still be on the same train.

By new country, I meant a young newly formed country.

I noticed the Teddy travel agent handed several itineraries to Greg and John.

They did say they were going to get their train tickets, too.

"Ivan the Impaler"?

[Lantern7]

All I know about Slovenia is that it’s where Luka Dončić comes from.

Todd gets the title quote AND mixes Transylvania with Slovenia.

How could you forget our illustrious former First Lady, Melania Knauss Trump?

[Lamb18]

I don't know if any of the old Yugoslavian countries were ever their own country until recently. Slovenia and others were part of the Holy Roman Empire and some would have been part of the Ottoman empire.

[Browncoat]

Good job, Rob and Corey and Todd and Ashlie!

Oh, you know nothing's going to be open at 1am in Slovenia.  And they're going to miss their connection.

[Lantern7]

Lot of dice rolling to start the episode.

[Quilt Fairy]

Train drama!  I love it!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh I love this (and I love all these teams so I hope it works out for them). It's a smart and risky move. If it pays off, they likely will be starting the leg with everyone else, but they get a few hours of sleep.

As it turns out, quite easily. 🤷‍♂️

[dizzyd]

100% bunched 

[Lantern7]

I guess there’s no stick shift involved.

Shit, I spoke too soon!

Also the Austria Hungarian Empire.

[Browncoat]

What they're showing us of Slovenia really is beautiful.

[dizzyd]

Last to 1st

[mojoween]

Lena and Anna Leigh sit way too close to the steering wheel and it makes me anxious.

[Browncoat]

Oh, this looks like so much fun!

I want to do that!

Sucks to be Todd!

[Lantern7]

I guess Todd is too big for this adventure. Poor guy.

[mojoween]

Garrett and Todd aren’t the same size?

[Lantern7]

This seems to be an easy puzzle.

[hendersonrocks]

Rob looks like the happiest person to have ever happied, this is delightful. And I would be absolutely shitting myself in one of those gliders. Excited but terrified.

[Browncoat]

Apparently not.

[dizzyd]

They had the question there and were alive for it so how do you get it wrong?

[Seelouis]

“It’s a old country”. Ummm no!

[Lantern7]

Rob being a history nerd gets him and Corey in the lead!

[Ladybugnine]

"Have fun with it," Anna Leigh? All you've done is bitch and nag, and boss your Dad around.

[Browncoat]

I hope Garrett gets to go again before Steve and Anna Leigh get there.

[Lamb18]

I guess the big beard's partner didn't pay attention to modern history.

[Browncoat]

Did Robbin just say 1661?  

I thought I heard that, but she got it right, so maybe not.

She said 166.

[Lantern7]

I guess Robbin saw the lines under the nines. I thought she’d think they were sixes.

[Ladybugnine]

Well, she got it right!

[Lantern7]

Anna Leigh, in a mood. 🙄🙄🙄

No, they're definitely stick.  I heard a couple of clutches being stripped.

Always.

[MerBearHou]

Anna Leigh may be cute but man, is she is a PILL.

Quite a contrast with the guys who thought they were last in the previous leg. Or even Malaina and Andrea.  

[Lamb18]

That Planica Nordic Centre is up in the mountains. GoogleMaps shows snow.

[Browncoat]

1100 steps sounds brutal, but the zipline would be so much fun!

[Lantern7]

Climbing and zip-lining >>> eating bugs.

Whimsical music for screwing up!

[Browncoat]

I do so love the camera people.

[Thalia]

Slap her Morgan.  No one will care.  

And I want to do the zip line.
