Notes:
1: Bergen & Kurt originally found the Date Night ticket. However, they decided to give their Date Night ticket to Matt & Ashley, upon witnessing their engagement at the Pit Stop.
2: Bergen & Kurt decided to take a 2-hour penalty after forfeiting to utilize the provided vehicle where they needed it in order to complete the task at the Gebr. Schwarz Metall Manufaktur in Munich, Germany due to difficulties driving it. Throughout the leg, Bergen & Kurt had to walk or use public transportation. Additionally, Bergen & Kurt got lost in finding the Detour location of their choice and fell behind all the other teams. Phil met with them at where they rested to eliminate them.[1]
