This season there has been no clear cut leaders, with different teams stepping on the mat first which is always my kind of race. Clearly anyone could win this thing. The teams leave Bram Romania, bye to Dracula and head for Siberia. Ok way too cold for me. Just the name Siberia conjures up cold, red chapped wind cheeks and icicles hanging off the nose images. The roadblock is to construct shutters or stack wood. All the teams do the stack task but only to be confronted with piles and piles of wood pieces. Enough wood to build a small village. Kisha said it was like the Jenga game. I was wondering how the dwarf stunt guys would be able to stack the pile since the wood piles were taller than them. No matter, their stack fell anyway so they go to the construct shutters task to be joined by Jodi & Christi, Mel & Mike, and Kris & Amanda whose wood piles also fall. I guess Victor's last humbling leg made him more subdue this leg, kept his mouth shut and was an obedient puppy. After Margie and Luke completed the stacking, surprise, surprise, they decide to do a blind (since they don't have to reveal who did the dirty deed) U turn on Kris and Amanda, who will have to go back and do the stack wood task as well, yikes! I think that was a smart move on their part. Who knew they had it in them? Never trust those silent types! The Roadblock was to ride a bobsled, find the letters along the way and then spell the name of the Russian writer, CHEKHOV. Poor Luke, how was he going to figure that one out, he's never even heard Russian, let alone sound. Hey if Kisha could figure it out, I'm thinking Luke can. After 4 tries and much frustration he got it. At the pit stop it is Christi and Jodi the blonds, in first, see it's any body's game. Guess the blind u-turn did the job as Amanda and Kris are eliminated.-Single D
