Ready to Restart the Race is the fourth episode of The Amazing Race 33.

Story[]

Route Markers[]

The race restarts at St. Gallen Cathedral in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Teams must make their way on foot to Museumstrasse and board one of three buses in which they would find their next clue.

Teams must take their bus to Schwägalp Pass. The first bus can carry three teams, while the second and third two buses can carry two teams each. Once there, they must take a cable car to the summit of Säntis, where they would find their next clue.

"Who wants to take in the view?"

The team member assigned to this Roadblock must navigate a via ferrata along with a guide across the face of Säntis to retrieve their next clue. They must then return the same way to their partner before reading their clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

Teams must drive themselves to Gasthaus Sonne, where they would find their next clue.

Choice A: Punch It
Teams must make their way to Frehner Farm, where they must attach ornaments to a Swiss belt in such a way that it told the story provided with their clue. Once their belt is properly assembled and the ornaments are attached in the correct order, the master belt maker would give them their next clue.

Arun & Natalia and Michael & Moe chose this task.


Choice B: Toss It
Teams must make their way to Schulanlage AU, where they must learn a Swiss flag throwing routine known as fahnenschwingen, then perform the routine to the satisfaction of a judge to receive their next clue.

Akbar & Sheri, Kim & Penn, Lulu & Lala, Raquel & Cayla, and Ryan & Dusty chose this task.

After the Detour, Arun & Natalia and Michael & Moe would receive their clue for their Speed Bump. Arun & Natalia and Michael & Moe must each have one team member roll a large ball resembling a cabbage to knock down several haystacks in a marked field in Altstätten, while their partner guided them, before they could continue racing.[1]

Teams must drive themselves to Marktgasse in Altstätten to check in.
For coming in first place, Ryan & Dusty won $2,500 each.
