For some reason, I have always wanted to go to Holland. That is where our "Amazing Race" teams were off to tonight, and all on the same plane, too. As nice as the whole thing should have been, the episode was destroyed for me when two teams showed incredible levels of ridiculousness.
Now, I've complained in the past about things bunching up and teams that were way ahead ending up tied with everyone else, but Meghan & Cheyne were way out in front only because they had done a pretty easy Fast Forward. I was happy to see things even out tonight when everyone ended up on the same plane.
Once in Holland, though, Meghan & Cheyne were still the first team to try to count the bells in the carillon for the Road Block. That looked like an incredibly hard task. There were big bells, small bells, hidden-looking areas and 62 bells in total. That's a lot of room for error, even more than in one of those "count the steps" tasks, which still aren't easy. It was actually Matt who finished the task first, even though Meghan was working with Sam.
