10 teams depart tokyo after staying the night at a capsule hotel. the first clue sends them by bullet train to nagano japan and a castle. the first train leaves 630am and carries the lead 3 teams (Jaylani/jenny jeff/jackie and laura/tyler). the next train carries ally/steve. bergen/kurt are not compatable in terms of a couple and this will hurt them later. mike/rochelle bergen/kurt and harley/jonathan on the third train. the fourth carries hayley/blair and matt/ashley. meanwhile libby and cj leave the pitstop and miss the so called (5th train) by taking a selfie on the platform (not joking). the next clue is a roadblock of solving a puzzle box using complicated moves they get a password for the clue. there is also a new twist that does nothing date night. jeff, tyler and jaylani are doing it. the task is quite complicated and it takes a bit of an effort. libby/cj not only miss the train but the new train breaks down slowly. tyler gets it first sending them to a shrine. libby/cj are way behind as more trains arrive. jaylani gets it next. the next clue is a detour of “share” sharing noodles (eating it). mike is doing the roadblock i can’t tell yet. the noodles is quite interesting the other detour is “Chair” roling chairs on the ice. jaylani/jenny start chair. harley/jonathaqn have date night a trip to a hot spring during the pitstop. bergen/kurt aren’t exactly agreeing on encouragement. hayley is doing the roadblock and is confused. laura/tyler is doing well at the noodles and finishes 1st sending them to the pitstop patio daimon. laura/tyler have cab issues. libby/cj know they are behind. jeff/jackie and ally/steve choose chair (which requires 3 minutes 55 seconds to do). ally/steve who where winter olympians are used to the ice and are 3rd out of the detour. jaylani/jenny finish the detour and sneak into 1st winning a fitbit wellness kit. libby is doing the roadblock but are way behind as more teams finish. harley/jonathan and bergen/kurt both choose share and work together. bergen/kurt lack of agreemenet on encouragement again hurts them at the detour. jeff/jackie can’t get it in time but the next time get it with one second to spare. harley/jonathan get the clue in 5th ahead of bergen/kurt. mike/rochelle are struggling at chair and end up switching. mike/rochelle are still ahead of hayley/blair at finishing the detour while libby/cj never catch up and are eliminated (they choose share). hayleys injury doesn’t end the race for them.
