The only time the blind u-turn would probably be interesting is if the U-turned team survives and another team gets eliminated. And the team who used the u-turn would play innocent and pretend that the eliminated did it and not them. |

amanda and kris barely got mad at being u-turned so doubt they would go on some withc hunt to find out who it was, they would be suspect of the sisters and
blondes but nothing else i dont think.

Actually, I think the blind U-turn works much better. If no one 'fessed up (as it looks like they will, from the previews) everyone would be suspicious of
everyone else. It would affect them, even if the U-turned team is eliminated. Everyone trying to work out who'd done it. Look what an interesting irony
that arose out of just the speculation as to who had done it.

PREVIOUSLY ON .. THE AMAZING RACE:
Phil: Eight teams went from Rumania to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. Mark/Michael met with disaster at the Detour. Christie/Jodi, Kisha/Jen surged ahead. But it was the flight attendants who pulled out their first win. (Cab ride recraps ...) Targeting Amanda/Kris as a threat, Margie/Luke hit them with the new twist, the blind U-Turn that forced them to repeat the stacking Detour. Luke struggled at the Roadblock but eventually prevailed. In the end, Amanda/Kris couldn't make up the time and were Philiminated. Tonight, Tammy/Vic ditch their friends. Vic: Sorry! (Not!) Margie: Can't trust Victor anymore. Game on. Credits roll. |

How long have they been doing this "coming up tonight" thing after the previously on segment? I first noticed it last week, maybe because I've
been DVR'ing instead of live so far (?). It's really annoying.

Phil: This is Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Over a million people, industrial center of Siberia. This theatre, founded during WWII, has been instrumental in the
cultural development of this isolated city and was the 4th pitstop in a Race around the world.
Christie/Jodi, 12:34 pm, CLUE: Ride the TransSiberian Railway to Novosibirsk. (They couldn't pronounce that either!) While gloating, I missed what landmark they're going to find their clue at though. 
Kisha/Jen, 12:36 pm. It's snowing. It's snowy/muddy everywhere. It's gnarly. It's freezing cold. The clue says make your way ON FOOT apparently, to the Trans Siberian Railway. They find the Central Railway Station. Someone obviously told them how to prounounce Novosibirsk. They don't leave until 10:26 pm.
EQUALIZED! |

Boarding the train, Racers complain about "Siberian Hell."
Of course it's dark and snowy. Sleeper cars! Luke: I've never had an experience like this, having a bed on a train! Kisha/Jen are tall so their feet hang off.
DAWN. They cross a river, possibly the Volga? Possibly the Irkutsk or Yakutsk? I'm guessing T O T A L L Y! Gaydad/kid discover that Margie/Luke knocked off Amanda/Kris. Luke motions "big strong guy" (i.e., Kris) Tammy/Vic kinda surprised that Margie/Luke laid it down. Beautiful art deco in the middle of Siberia. NOVOSIBIRSK. Teams run from the train in the snowy slush. Across the town square. Looking for Taxis. Jamie/Cara take the early lead. They ask Margie to follow their cab. Jamie conf: We were drawn to them right from the start. We've worked together very well. Vic thanks his driver: Spasyibo!
Stuntmen almost get run over crossing a street and giggle that it's like a stunt. Kisha/Jen get a big confessional. Early. With odd music. Rarely a good sign. Jamie/Cara get one too, but with funsy music instead. Lots of cabss pass Gaydad/Gaykid's cab. They find it "annoying." CLUE, Jamie/Cara: DETOUR. Phil: Between two unavoidable aspects of Siberian life. Russian Bride: Choose a car with a 4 speed manual transmission, a Lara, search for a waiting bride. Drive her acrosss town to the church where the groom is waiting. Wedding pic for the next clue. Russian Snowplow: Get selves to this stadium, drive snowplow through a training course for the next clue. |

It would have been funnier if they had to marry the bride

Jamie/Cara and Margie/Luke immediately choose snowplow.
Next up, Tammy/Vic choose to buddy up with them. Three teams driving cars they have no idea how to drive on icy icy roads. Whee! That's three teams for the snowplow. Mel/Mike decide to do the other Detour. Jamie/Cara, Tammy/Vic stop for gas and directions. Tammy/Vic ask someone putting gas in car. He directs them. Vic leaves without the others. Margie: Victor what are you doing? Margie takes off after Vic. She'll look out for the girls too. Luke doesn't want Margie to follow Vic. Tammy/Vic need to ask directions again to the stadium.
Margie just got directions from someone else. But Vic leaves her again. "Sorry!"
Margie translates for Luke, conf: Sneaky. Got directions and took off. We're a little suspicious of them. Game on. COMMERCIAL. |
