“They start yellin’, they start hoopin’, they start holla!” - Kent

The Amazing Race 18:Unfinished Business had aired its tenth episode. The remaining five racers battled it out for the $1,000,000 prize. The location on this episode is in Switzerland with a budget of one dollar.

The five teams were in the snowy alps of Switzerland when they received a detour to choose between search and rescue. In search, teams have to locate a buried dummy with a locator. In rescue, teams have to rescue a man stuck in a crevasse by using a pulley system.


Search : Zev & Justin; Gary & Mallory
Rescue: Kisha & Jen; Kent & Vyxin; Flight time & Big Easy


All the teams who chose the rescue detour were able to finish faster. Gary & Mallory, however, managed to squeeze in to the train ride to Zermatt with the other teams. 


In the Roadblock, teams have to replicate the travelocity gnome made entirely of chocolate. They have to carefully place colored chocolate to the molds. After making the front and back sections of the gnome, they placed their molds in the freezer. This where the drama begins. Since, the teams were sharing the same freezer, a mix-up is inevitable. The globetrotters claimed that one of their molds were taken away. The blame then went to Vyxin, the fuchsia haired-goth, who denied the accusation. However, she didn't defend herself pretty well unlike the other teams. To make it even more confusing, the cameramen weren't able to capture that moment.

Is Vyxin innocent?

Zev and Justin ,who lost all their energy from the search challenge, arrived and started on with their gnomes.
The other teams then proceeded to fill their molds with chocolate, then buried them outside with snow for 30 minutes.


The four teams zipped to the roadblock and proceeded to the pit stop, Mürini & Mittagstadel – Swiss Cabin , leaving Zev and Justin. Having trouble with electric taxis, Kent and Vyxin, is left once again. Globetrotters came out first winning a trip for two to the Cook Islands while the sisters finished second. The dating goths, reached the pit stop as the third team to arrive. However, much to their demise, they incur a 30 minute penalty for not going on foot to the pit stop. Gary and Mallory were checked-in as the official third. Arguing over their predicament, Kent and Vyxin could only watch as Zev and Justin were able to reach the pit stop as fourth place.


Kent and Vyxin, for the second time in the amazing race (last one was in season 12), finished 5th place.
