The Amazing Race 20 Secret Scenes, Episode 5: The Leg When Everyone Lost It

Extra Race Footage

Featured team: Kerri & Stacy

Cousins Driving Nightmare: In one of the Bavarian towns, Stacy slows the car down and verifies with a pedestrian that she can go down a certain street. He tells her yes, and as she starts to drive that way, Kerri lays into her for asking everyone the same question. Stacy wishes that Kerri would calm down as Stacy doesn’t want to run anyone down.

Kerri doesn’t understand how Stacy could be so timid while driving as there is ample evidence that there wasn’t anything wrong with driving down this street. Stacy insists that the road could be just for locals, but Kerri just balks at that reasoning. Some measured profanities are tossed back and forth for a while until Kerri mutters that she wishes that Stacy would drive like she had somewhere to go. Stacy wishes she were driving with someone who knows how to act.

Featured team: Vanessa & Ralph

How It All Began: In what was clearly a fully produced clip (with soundtrack and team-name subtitles) that ended up on the cutting-room floor, Vanessa & Ralph are bickering back and forth while trying to find the Turin train station. Ralph refuses to backtrack, which irks Vanessa mightily as now they seem to be driving with absolutely no direction. Ralph wonders, if it ends up they are going the right direction, will Vanessa apologize for her attitude? She isn’t backing down and asks what if they’re going in the wrong direction.

While waiting at an intersection, Vanessa complains that they’re driving around in circles as if they’re not in a race, and sarcastically reminds him that they are in a race. Cut to Vanessa & Ralph at a large city directory/map and asking for directions from a local. As they get back in the car, Ralph doesn’t want to hear anything more from Vanessa as he’s had it. He has no idea how much more he’s going to deal with once they get to Bavaria!

Featured teams: Rachel & Dave, Joey & Danny

Making it Personal: This is another fully produced clip, where we find ourselves at the Turin train station with Rachel & Dave. We join them as Dave is yelling for Rachel to hide with him at the platform so that other teams like Jersey don’t see them. It looks like Rachel is trying to rearrange the contents of her pack on the platform, and Dave would rather her do that while on the train.

At the ticket counter, Joey & Danny are still buying their tickets, while back outside, Rachel & Dave have walked far down the platform to avoid being seen (although I would imagine the camera and sound guy aren’t exactly great camouflage). She mockingly asks if it’s okay for her to sit on the bench now, but Dave wishes she’d be more cognizant of the fact that they’re in a game. She insists that she’s well aware of that fact and that he just needs to calm down. Rachel then throws out that Dave’s only worrying about the game and not their marriage, eventually telling him he’s a terrible husband. Ouch!

Featured team: Vanessa & Ralph

What Goes Up...: Oy. On the walk down from Neuschwanstein, Vanessa & Ralph are still engaged in the bickering. Vanessa isn’t forgetting that Ralph tossed her jacket at her and threw a few “eff you”s her way. While he denies it was that bad, Vanessa insists that it’ll air on the show. Ding ding! Vanessa explains that her main frustration was that Ralph wanted to walk up the hill while taking a carriage would have been smarter. Ralph insisted on following the Jersey team, but he tells her that walking was the faster way up as they passed the horse carriage on their hike up.

Bickering ensues as he tells her he has apologized three times, but all Vanessa remembers is being told, “Eff you.” Ralph reminds her that all she kept telling him was to shut up and it’s possible she missed his apologies. This relationship is doomed! Vanessa tells Ralph she’s ready for an apology, but now he wants an apology from her, and now there are no apologies for or from anyone. Vanessa is tired of Ralph being careful to treat the other teams nicely but so willing to treat her like crap. He tells her that he’s just doing damage control as all she wants to do is bash the other teams, and him.

Featured team: Kerri & Stacy

Sketchy Train Ride: Kerri & Stacy are laughing nervously at their predicament as they are on what they call a super-sketchy train. When it pulled up to the station, Kerri prayed that it wasn’t their train, yet it was. When they got in, they couldn’t believe the windows were down as it’s 30 degrees outside. Nary & Jamie let them crash in their cabin as in Kerri & Stacy’s original cabin, they were sharing it with sketchy men. Stacy was afraid to be awake in that cabin, let alone fall asleep. She’s even wearing her hoodie so that her body won’t come in contact with the seats. Kerri calls it public transit at its finest, or rather, the other end of the spectrum.

Suddenly Kerri twitches forward as she swears that something just bit her on the neck. This freaks Stacy out, and now Kerri’s skin is crawling. Both state that this part of the game is just The Race as there is nothing amazing about it. Stacy jokes that the only way she’ll sleep is if she can put her neck pillow on underneath her hoodie to ensure proper separation from the seat.

Featured team: Joey & Danny

Gaining Confidence: While driving, Joey remarks that Rachel & Dave aren’t fans of the green team (Brendon & Rachel), and adds that he and Danny aren’t fans either. Danny doesn’t agree and thinks that he and Joey get along with everybody, which Joey sheepishly agrees with. Joey insists that eventually they’ll have to start taking sides as, if a U-Turn opportunity comes up, who will they use it on? Both are non-committal at the moment and plan to keep working with Rachel & Dave to stay at the head of the pack.
