Amazing Race-The Last Lap In Lapland for Team Glee

From scorching heat of Ghana to the Arctic Circle, whoo hoo, Kiruna, Sweden! Come on, did you pause just for a moment thinking where's the Arctic Circle? Come on, I know you did. The scenery looked absolutely amazing, put on bucket list. For once, team Asian made a smart move and decided to see if there was an earlier flight Out of Africa (isn't that a movie?) and got lucky to be one of three teams (dad and Mallory and Brooke and Claire) to catch the first flight out, especially since they have a speed bump. The roadblock was dog sledding which looked like so much fun even if it was on a dirt road. Nice doggy. Onward to the Ice Hotel which was under wraps because I guess it was summer there. I was holding my breath thinking that the speed bump would surely be the undoing of Team Asian since dad isn't the fastest dad in the race, but when they got to the lodge, all they had to do was sit on a chair of ice for 10 minutes which by the looks of son Kevin is no easy feat. Guess his nuts were getting frozen, nothing like nuts on ice. Dad Micheal was doing the first this butt cheek and then the next butt cheek. The next challenge was either sleds or beds, which dud, which one would you do? I'm guessing sleds, which seemed like you could finish faster right? NOT! I've never seen such a sled, it was like for little people or sledding on your knees, but apparently it didn't have brakes which freaked Stephanie out, really? It's not that scary! Three teams failed to do the sled challenge and ended up building tents, which I must say, looked pretty cozy for all that snow. Jill and Thomas opt to use their express pass because for some strange reason they really fell behind. Klutzy team Glee couldn't get their sled on and as a result ended up stepping on the mat last. Well, at least they could sing about it and in tune I might add! Single D
