Amazing Race November 22

Meghan and Cheyne are the first to depart at 12:00am.  They have to fly to Prague and have to find a Vintage Praga in a particular square.  They need to figure out Praga is a car.  OMG, either Sam or Dan thinks Prague is a country!  The first flight out is at 5:20am.  So everyone will catch up at the airport again.  While at the airport Meghan and Cheyne go on the internet and find out a praga is a car.  The globe trotters also figure it out.

All the teams land in Prague.  All the teams other than Brian and Ericka are taking taxis.  Brian and Ericka choose to take the subway.  Brian said someone on the flight told them it was the faster way to get to the old town square.  Meghan and Cheyne get to the square first.  Followed by Sam and Dan.   Sam and Dan had no clue what a praga was but they followed Meghan and Cheyne to the praga car.

Teams now to need to make their way to an outdoor adventure center to search for their next clue.  The globe trotters got a really slow driver but they finally get to the praga.  Brian and Ericka are stuck in traffic.  Okay, Ericka needs to chill.  Brian was just saying they made a bad choice but he’s NOT blaming Ericka or the people who told them the information and she cuts him off saying he went along with the information too and not to blame her.  Duh!  Hello, he was just saying he didn’t blame you and sounded like he was just saying it was bad luck.

Detour

Fast and furious or slow and steady?

Fast and furious-teams need to go down a man made white water rafting course.  They have to grab a clue at the end.  If they tip over before getting their clue they will have to start again.

Slow and steady-teams have to pull themselves along a grueling ropes course.  At the end they get their next clue.  Sam and Dan do the rafts.  Meghan and Cheyne do the ropes course.  I would definitely do the ropes course.  The globe trotters new driver makes up some time and they arrive at the adventure park.  They choose the ropes course.

Sam and Dan head out the same time as Meghan and Cheyne.  Immediately Sam and Dan start to argue.  Man, the ropes course looks hard too.  You are pulling your weight along just using your arms.  In the mean time Ericka and Brian are wandering around looking for the praga.  They finally find the car and head to the adventure park.  Sam and Dan are still arguing and then tip over.  They are getting swept down and then have to restart.  Both Meghan and Big Easy are commenting on how the ropes course is harder than it looked.  Big Easy is so tall his legs fall into the water.  Flight Time is doing awesome on the ropes course though!  He is like a natural.

Sam and Dan…still arguing and tip over again.   Flight Time over took Meghan and Cheyne but Big Easy is still struggling.  Meghan says it’s nice to see Big Easy actually struggle for once.  Flight Time finishes first, then Meghan and Cheyne.    Going back down Flight Easy goes first and takes his time to slow Meghan and Cheyne up.  Dan and Sam are STILL arguing and paddling.  Big Easy is still working is still on the ropes course when Meghan and Cheyne climb down.   

Meghan and Cheyne have their clue and must need to figure out the words on the clue refer to the Estates Theater.  They need to search there for their next clue.  Big Easy finally finishes while Sam and Dan are still kayaking and Sam and Dan tip over again.  They decide to switch detours.   Brian and Ericka show up just as Sam and Dan switch detours.  Meghan and Cheyne and Big Easy and Flight Time go off together to look for the next location.

Cheyne runs off while Meghan is getting directions.  He wants to take a taxi where as Big Easy and Flight Time wait for a train.  Meghan gets on Cheyne’s case about being rude to everyone.  Cheyne is saying it’s a game.  Meghan is saying it was rude to leave the globe trotters behind after agreeing to work with them.

While Ericka is trying to finish up Sam and Dan are trying to steal Brian and Ericka’s taxi.  Ericka get moving instead of yelling at the guys.  The guys manage to steal the taxi.  One of the guys wasn’t cool with the stealing of the taxi (can’t remember which is which). 

Road Block

Who can remain composed under pressure?  Teams have to  search among the 600 seats and find a small mandolin.  When they find one they have to bring it to Don Giovanni on stage to get their next clue.  Cheyne is doing it.  Cheyne finds a full size mandolin and takes it to the singer.  He laughs at him and tells Cheyne no.  Big Easy does the road block for the globe trotters.  Cheyne starts gathering up a bunch of other instruments even though they are not tiny.

Sam does the roadblock.  While waiting Flight Time starts to dance on the stage to the singing.  I love the singer when he laughs at the teams when they bring the wrong instruments.  Cheyne finds his mandolin first. 

Teams need to travel by taxi across town to Prague Castle, the pit stop for this leg of the race.  Oh come on globe trotters!  Find your mandolin!  Rats!  Sam and Dan find their mandolin first.  He found it on the same row Big Easy was working his way through.  As Sam and Dan are leaving Brian and Ericka walk in.  I hope karma bites the brothers in the butt and they can’t get a taxi.  Big Easy finds another mandolin case but doesn’t open it.  Ah and there is a mandolin!  Yay!

Ericka does the roadblock but I don’t think she has the patience for this task.  She’s going to get frustrated.  They don’t show much of her until she finds the mandolin.

Pit Stop

Meghan and Cheyne are team #1!  They win a trip for two to Lanai, Hawaii.

Sam and Dan are still looking for a taxi as teh globe trotters come out.   Looks like they get a taxi at the same time.  At the castle Sam and Dan are team #2.  Flight Time and Big Easy are team #3.  Brian and Ericka are team #4 but it turns out to be a non-elimination leg of the race.  So they are still in it.  They will have the speed bump in the next leg of the race.

 

 

 

Ok, so what are you predictions for the winners of the race?   I honestly think it will come down to Meghan and Cheyne and the globe trotters.  I think Ericka is going to slow that team down and I don’t know if Sam and Dan have the team work down to make it.  Guess we will find out.  Go globe trotters!
