You Just Got U-Turned! Crap!

Teams left the land of Dracula and flying to Siberia where the must find the dam on the back of the 10 Russian Ruble bill. (Wow! Mark and Michael are really short! Especially when standing next to Kisha and Jen.)

DETOUR
Stack vs. Contruct (this task tested the wills of most of the teams)

Stack – Teams must stack pieces of firewood (Sounds simply, right? Wrong! Not only do teams have to make stacks that are EXTREMELY wobbly, but they must do it in front of another assembled stack) – Tammy & Victor got incredibly luck with the stacking!

Construct – Teams must assemble and install traditional shutters and deliver them to a house that posts a sign “repairs needed.” (For some reason teams couldn’t find the house.)

U-Turn (it’s blind which means it’s anonymous)
Kris and Amanda were U-Turned by Margaret and Luke. (I’m so disappointed. I really wanted K&A to win.) I can’t remember the last time a U-Turn even came up on The Amazing Race. Can someone let me know.

ROAD BLOCK
One person must perform a bobsled run in four minutes or less and track 6 letters all while speeding down the track. Once at the bottom (if all 6 letters were spotted) the Amazing Racer must spell out a famous Russian writer. The writer in question was Chekhov.

Here’s how they finished
1. Christie & Jodi (each win a 650 motorcycle); 2. Kisha & Jen; 3. Tammy & Victor; 4. Margaret & Luke; 5. Jaime & Cara; 6. Mel & Mike; 7. Mark & Michael; 8. Amanda & Kris – Eliminated (only because of the U-Turn)

Tammy and Victor surged back. Keep an eye out on Kisha and Jenn and my new personal favs now that Amanda and Kris are out.

Here’s how I think teams will finish next week:
1. Tammy & Victor (my pick to win it all)
2. Kisha & Jen
3. Christie & Jodi
4. Margaret & Luke
5. Mel & Mike
6. Mark & Michael
7. Jaime & Cara – Eliminated
