Linda & Steve were the second team to elimination from the Amazing Race.

Detour: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its pros and cons. In this Detour, teams had to choose between Balancing Dolly or Austrian Folly. In Balancing Dolly, teams had to ride a Segway transporter along a 2-mile obstacle course. In Austrian Folly, teams had to enter a party tent and throw traditional Austrian pies at a target. What they didn’t know was that the target was their partner’s face. They had to smack each other in the face with pies until they found one with cherry filling. Balancing Dolly: MEL/MIKE, JAIME/CARA, KISHA/JEN, MARK/MICHAEL Austrian Folly: TAMMY/VICTOR, AMANDA/KRIS, MARGIE/LUKE, BRAD/VICTORIA, CHRISTIE/JODI, STEVE/LINDA

Roadblock: A Roadblock is a task that only one person can perform. In this Roadblock, that team member had to choose an instructor and, in tandem, paraglide off the mountain to the ground 6,000 feet below. The other teammate had to ride the gondola back down the mountain and wait for their partner in the designated landing area. In the event of unsafe wind conditions, teams could wait an undetermined amount of time for conditions to improve or choose a 60-minute hike down the mountain. Performed Roadblock: TAMMY, KRIS, LINDA, MARGIE, CARA, MEL, VICTORIA, JEN, CHRISTIE, MARK
