Teams must drive themselves to Marseille Provence Airport, then fly to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Upon arrival, they must make their way to the Magere Brug, where they would find their next clue.
Teams must, using a provided map as reference, take a marked motorboat and navigate the Canals of Amsterdam to the Scheepvaart Museum, where they would find their next clue.
The Fast Forward instructions were given to teams after finding their clue at the Magere Brug. Teams must make their way to the Molen van Sloten windmill, where they would each be strapped to one of the windmill's sails, then ride it for 10 rotations. Once they have completed 10 rotations, they can claim the Fast Forward pass. Millie & Chuck won the Fast Forward.
Choice A: 500 Kilograms
Teams must drive themselves to the cheese market in Alkmaar, where they must dress up in traditional wooden clogs, then use a wooden stretcher to transport heavy wheels of cheese across the square to the market's scale. Once they have transported enough cheese to weigh exactly 500 kg, they would receive their next clue.
Reichen & Chip and Steve & Dave chose this task.
Choice B: 15 Feet
Teams must drive themselves to Klein Farm, where they must don protective outfits, then, using their bare hands, search through a 15 ft-high pile of cow manure that would be processed into fertilizer to find their next clue.
Teams must drive themselves to the Smoker Statue in the town of Monnickendam, where they would find their next clue.
"Which one of you has a firm grip and likes seafood?"
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must get on a marked boat and, using their bare hands, catch 25 eels and transfer them into a marked container. Once they have transferred 25 eels, the fisherman would give them their next clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must drive themselves to Kasteel Muiderslot to check in. For coming in first place, Millie & Chuck won a seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise on the Vision of the Seas cruise ship, provided by Royal Caribbean.
