The Amazing Race (2001)

Episode Overview

The teams leave the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and journey over 1,000 miles to Oslo, Norway. Upon arrival, they head to a ski jump where they encounter a Roadblock. In this challenge, one member from each team must tackle an "Olympian" task by sliding down an extensive zip-line. Afterwards, they spend the night at a Viking Village. The following morning, the teams break into two self-selected groups to race across a lake in paddle boats. One team makes a significant error. For the Detour, they must choose between Endurance or Accuracy, with Endurance requiring a rollerblading trek of one and three-quarter miles, while Accuracy involves completing three tough challenges. Many teams start with Endurance but switch to Accuracy later. Unfortunately, the team that made the mistake finds themselves in trouble, but the thirty-minute penalty may not be enough to eliminate them.
