There’s a new team on top of the leaderboard.
They support their partner and laugh hysterically, and a few have even extended a word of encouragement.
But thats neither here nor there.

All bets are off in week seven.
The teams feel the physical and emotional toll on their bodies.
Pack your backpacks, people.
Were going to Venice!
Two buses leave at the crack of dawn.
Matt and Redmond choose to Bring It (duh).
Becca and Floyd choose to Sing It (equally, duh).
By the time the party bus arrives at the plaza, the others have moved on.
Team LoLo finds the clue quickly and ducks behind a wall.
Brooke, Scott, Liz, and Mike pass the street cleaner multiple times.
Brooke shouts LOLO at the top of her lungs.
Shes mad theyve been ditched.
Its Mike who spots them first.
He inquires, as they pass him up to go haul luggage, where the clue is located.
LoLo says they dont know.
We did a bad thing.
Yes you did, Logan.
But you you are still cute.
Dont let anyone tell you differently.
Because they are beasts, Matt and Redmond arrive first at the luggage depot.
I wont even mention all the stairs.
Three teams choose the Bring ItDETOURand all ride the struggle bus the entire time.
Attitudes are barely adjusting.
Its Joey who takes a no-holds-barred approach and just crashes through the obstacle course.
All the others choose to laugh through the pain.
Things arent much better over on the gondolas.
At least three are tone deaf.
This does not help any of the teams easily breeze through this challenge.
Becca and Floyd add some theatrics to their performance.
Brooke whines about not being able to execute the mission because they are singing in my face.
Mike and Liz stumble their way through as well.
Note: Mike wearing that shirt was EVERYTHING.
Meanwhile, Matt and Redmond arrive at the hotel first to deliver their bags.
A water taxi to Ca Zenobio.
Joey and Tara arent far behind.
Neither are Becca and Floyd, who finally received a standing ovation for their song.
ROAD BLOCK:One team member must choose an actor and recreate a copy of their mask.
This challenge is all about precision and attention to detail.
Redmond goes in and knocks it out of the park.
I seriously dont know how he does it.
There is painting and scraping and glossing.
He nails it and is out before Tara and Floyd slap on their first coat of paint.
My favorite part is Floyds color commentary of everything hes doing.
And now, Im going to rub the paint off.
It looks good, right?
Next Ill add some detail.
Over by the water, London and Logan have a hard time finding a water taxi.
So do Brooke and Scott.
Liz and Michael waltz right on to one and head to the mask place.
London and Logan talk their way onto a familys boat and hitch a ride across the canal.
Im going to let you guess who that is.
Back in the painting studio, Floyd presents his mask to the lady and is rewarded with a BELLISSIMO.
He freaks out with Becca that he accomplished something on the first try!
She has to start over just as London and Liz arrive.
Across town at the Campo San Vio, Phil rewards Matt and Redmond for being No.
1 with a trip to Grenada.
Phil asks Redmond if this was his favorite leg of the trip.
Red pulls off his artificial leg and says, Phil, this is the best leg of the trip.
Tara presents her second mask and is given a hearty bellissimo.
Taras third-place finish fuels the fire for Liz to start losing it.
I wasnt the only one surprised that she pulled it off.
Scott was just as shocked!
Liz vows to never paint again.
Not even cow skulls.
She refrains from crying and finally pulls it together enough to get the go-ahead.
She and Mike run for their lives.
Luckily, Team LoLo, Scott, and Brooke are a bit lost.
Who will get to the PIT STOP first?
Or should I say last?
Matt and Redmond: Finally, a first-place finish.2.
Becca and Floyd: The fun meter is still ticking.
And they are also still in their gondola shirts.3.
Joey and Tara: They had a few hiccups this leg, but are safely in third.4./5.
Scott/Brooke and Logan/London: All four jumped on Phils mat at the exact same time.
I have no clue how they are going to determine who was fourth and who was fifth.
Which brings us to…6.
Liz and Mike: Liz did it all for Mikes daughter Pearl.
Everyone cries when they hear this.
The tears REALLY flow when Phil announces that this is NOT an elimination leg.
Liz and Mike have been saved from elimination twice.
Will their luck end?
Are Joey and Tara the team to beat?
Could Brooke and Scott be the dark horses?
And do you think I should purchase a gondola shirt to match myAmazing Racefanny pack?
