TARA 18 Summary : Ep. 9 "I am not very fondue of this fondue".

"We're Good American People." -Zev
The Amazing Race 18:Unfinished Business had aired its ninth episode. The remaining six racers battled it out for the $1,000,000 prize. The locations on this episode are Austria  - Switzerland - and Liechtenstein.

Greg and Mallory, the father-daughter tandem, were able to manage their speed bump with ease.
Four of the six contestants assisted each other on the roadblock to measure the entire length of Liechtenstein (22 km). This 'good samaritan' act had robbed us from watching the racers getting mentally stressed out.This was unfair for the cowboys since they have to measure again for they failed their first attempt.

In Switzerland, they have the detour to choose between cheese or wheeze. Zev and Justin chose the eating task where they have to finish a whole pan of cheese fondue. The other five teams chose wheeze where they have to deliver twenty luggages to different high class hotels. Zev and Justin ultimately chose the right risk and ended the race as the first place finishers. Kisha and Jen; Kent and Vyxin; and Greg and Mallory followed with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th finishes respectively.

This leaves the globetrotters and the cowboys to  slug it out on the wheeze detour. The globetrotters managed to finish their tasks earlier than the other team. However, they misplaced their tickets that they received from the hotels after delivering the luggages. With this, the cowboys were given an opportunity to catch up. However, the globetrotters were able to overcome their dillema. With a game changing u-turn up ahead, the globetrotters wasted no time to u-turn the cowboys. Knowing that they were going to get eliminated anyway, the cowboys completed the other detour without any stress whatsoever.

They were eliminated.
