Right at the beginning at just thought that people should use their head before opening their mouths. Vienna has absolutely nothing to do with the "Sound of Music". The plot isn't set anywhere near Vienna nor does any scene play in Vienna. So if you use movie or musical references try to use them in the right context. That certainly would be nice for a change.
That the train was going to be another equalizer was a given. So I really don't get why people are surprised about that. When it comes to the detour I probably would have gone for the Fast Forward as well. As this would have been a real fun challenge. But wind in Vienna can be tricky at times. So not waiting around too long was the right decision. At first I wasn't sure what was goint to be the easier detour challenge. Turns out the masks were the right pick. I'm not entirely sure how much of the Taxi issue was kinda produced. Under normal circumstances you will have a hard time flagging down a Taxi in Vienna. You have to either call for a cab or you've to go to one of the numerous Taxi staging areas. But this being Vienna's 1st District...things can be a little different.
When it comes to the entire Choir challenge...OMG!! I just kept laughing my ass off. That was the worst German pronounciation I've heard in a long time. And this sond was so out of tune. I wouldn't have passed any team. I was required to sing that song when I was in school, so I do know what it was supposed to sound...and none of the teams came even close. The ER Doctors did come closest to hit the mark. It brought back memories from the time I tried to teach my Ex a couple of German phrases. But considered to the last 2 teams he was doing great getting German pronounciatio right.
It was not a super exciting epsiode. Another excample of an episode that you would expect on the Travel Channel, but I don't think it's up to Amazing Race standards. Lots of pretty scenery but not that much stuff going on.
