Married couple Victoria and Brad were eliminated on the last Amazing Race and tonight the surprises keep coming as the Blind U-Turn is introduced to the remaining racers. Still in Romania, first place team Mel and Mike were the first to depart and learned they were heading to Siberia. Their 10 rubble note was the clue to their next location, a dam. Jodi and Christie were the least excited for Siberia as they probably had no clue where it was. Their taxi driver led them to Internet cafe, how helpful. It gave them a chance to order tickets but didn’t really save them time. Over in another taxi Mark/Mike had a driver call the airport for them but they ended up calling Cara/Jaime . They acted like they were the Lufthansa airline which was humorous but they didn’t really play it up enough to screw them up.
In the airport all teams got different flights as there were several different connections. Although that was the case they all met up to connect to Moscow so all were equalized. Five teams missed the flight though so Mark/Mike, Kisha/Jen and Christie/Jodi arrived in Moscow first, only to sit and wait for the dam to open. Once it opened they got a clue to head to a church to find their next clue. Mark and Mike arrived at the box first and it was time for their Siberia Detour: Stack or Construct. In Stack they had to stack fire wood while in Construct they had to build a set of wood shutters. They then had to take them to a house and install them. All three teams chose stack which was aided by some Siberian singers. Seems they have locals at all the Detours lately. But it makes it more fun as they laugh at them all screwing up!

Last week the Amazing Race aired its 14th season premiere in a fresh, new format. Tonight the race continued in Switzerland where the teams began by speaking about Margie and Luke. The show is really putting an emphasis on the mother/son team which means they go tonight or they are there for the long haul. Since they were the first to hit the mat, Margie and Luke were first off and found out that they would be traveling to Munich, Germany. As the rest of the teams raced to the airport many played it smart by borrowing their taxi driver’s cell phone. All but Margie/Luke and Mike/Mark called ahead, meaning one of them wouldn’t be making the flight. As the two arrived at the airport Margie/Luke were able to secure the last non-reserved early flight while Mark/Mike were pushed into the latter flight. All but the brothers and Christie/Jodi made it on the first flight, meaning they were possibly fighting it out for the last spot at the mat.
In Germany the teams raced to a paragliding Road Block. Tammy and Victor arrived first with Tammy taking on the task. A twist to the paragliding road block was that if the wind conditions were not good enough to fly they could wait or walk down the mountain, taking an hour hike. While everyone arrived up the mountain the two lagging teams finally arrived in Germany. Considering so many had to wait for the wind to stabilize, they sure had a shot of catching up. Back up on the mountain Tammy hiked down and several others followed along. Only Mel ended up staying for the wind as the rest raced down. His groin was pulled during the cheese task, making it impossible for him to run down the hill. He waited so long that the other teams caught up, meaning they were instantly in last place.

Last week a non elimination leg saved frat boys Andrew and Dan. This week there was no saving the final four teams as they embarked on their second to last leg. The teams remained in Moscow, Russia and their first task was to find a submarine. Toni/Dallas, Ken/Tina, and Nick/Starr all found the submarine at the same time. They searched inside for the actor who filmed a movie inside the submarine and all found the man at the same time. After receiving their clues it was off to a Fallen Park for the next Road Block. Dan and Andrew arrived last and were there alone. After finding their clue they went to the streets for a taxi where a truck splashed water all over them. They weren’t too upset though as it isn’t the worst that’s happened to them on the race. They knew it was only a matter of time something like that would happen and hoped that was the last for the day.
In the Fallen Monument Graveyard it was time for the Road Block. Nick and Starr arrived first and read the clue. It was probably the hardest task in any Amazing Race as they first had to solve a number puzzle, counting the number of Lennon and Stalin heads in the grounds. They then had to find a bookstore, give the woman the number and receive a book. After getting the book they then had to use the page number, 62, to find a clue to the author of the book’s house. There they would get their next clue. Nick found most of the clues early and was off to the bookstore. Dallas and Tina were doing the challenge around the same time and both were foreshadowed for losing their passports. Dan and Andrew arrived last after going to the round park. Who would of thought they would of done that? While the other three searched for the clues, Nick found the book and was on his way to the author’s house. Dallas was the next to try the bookstore and guessed wrong with 36. Nick was the first to find the building, allowing he and Starr to move on and the others still doing the Road Block.

After sending how two chefs last week, Top Chef 5 returned for its second outing in New York. The morning after the leave of Patrick the house felt his loss. Richard was missing his “Rainbow Alliance” member while everyone else just came to the realization that people will be leaving. Fabio and Stefan continued their “European Battle” as they stayed friends yet still wanted to beat each other badly simply because both are from Europe. After that little tidbit into the house it was time for the Quick Fire challenge. The chefs were told that Donatello, a famous chef from New York, would be their special judge for the day. They were also getting a special visit from a “professional” to compete against in the challenge. It turned out the pro was a hot dog stand lady as the challenge was to create their own version of a hot dog.
When learning that he had to make a hot dog, Fabio got a bit nervous as he didn’t know what a hot dog really was. Everyone else didn’t really to have any problems though, being from America, but they sure made some interesting dishes. Who would of thought you could make hot dog sushi or even mixed with some Indian spices? Well you can and they apparently tasted pretty good! The only ones who the two tasters didn’t enjoy were Jill and Stefan’s. Jill didn’t make her own hot dog while Stefan’s was just over thought. Although they didn’t mark her as one of the worst, Jamie’s did have a bone in it. Guess Padma didn’t care if she chocked or not though. After dishing out the worst it was time for the best. Hosea and Fabio received recognition but the win went to Radhika. Since she was in the bottom twice last week it was a sigh of relief as she now has immunity for the elimination round.

The Amazing Race 13 visited an amazingly scenic country this week in Cambodia where towns float and temples spire over the land. As the teams left New Zealand there were some issues at the airport. Tina and Ken were first out thanks to their fast forward from last week and arrived at the airport first. Although they knew Terence and Sarah were behind they feared they may just catch up. Of course the two did just that even though there were some issues along the way. Terrence got pulled over for speeding on the highway which put them a bit behind but luckily they were able to catch the same flight.
Terence and Sarah weren’t the only ones to equalize the game at the airport. Toni/Dallas and Christy/Kelly ended up at the airport at the same time and had a bit of a confrontation. Kelly and Christy were making fun of Dallas, calling his Teen Wolf which didn’t sit well with Dallas. I don’t think he heard them but realized they were talking about him, luckily he let it slide. With those two teams plus Nick and Starr on the same flight that left Dan/Andrew and Aja/Ty still flight-less. Dan and Andrew landed at the airports just in time to make the flight but only after much coaxing. The travel agent told them they couldn’t get on but going to the front desk helped the guys out at the left Aja and Ty alone in New Zealand.

We are now four episodes into the Amazing Race 13 and it seems the gloves are finally coming off. On this leg of the race relationships were mended while others were strained. But in the end the two girls from South Carolina were eliminated from the race. At least they got a hug from Phil’s dad in the deal. After last weeks confrontation between Christy/Kelly and Nick/Starr I thought thinks were over but with news about Starr’s U-Turn beg things got a little messy. Although we didn’t get to see it, Kelly and Christy confronted Starr about asking Aja to U-Turn them. Apparently it didn’t end too well as both teams are even more at each others throats and it didn’t change at all during this leg.
Since everyone was in Bolivia in order to get to the next destination of New Zealand they all had to drive directly to the airport. There some tempers fumed as Kelly and Christy tried to eaves drop onto everyone else’s flight plans. Aja and Ty, who are dating long distance, also had a few tense moments as Aja was trying to control. Ty called her Fidel at one point but they ended up making up before the flight, which everyone was on. In New Zealand the teams ran to the marked cars and were off to find a knot. To get their next clue they had to simply untie the knot, where their clue was hidden inside. Some times had some trouble adjusting to the opposite side of the road driving. Luckily no teams were in an accident but Ty did run over the curb and get a flat tire. Aja wasn’t too happy about it and it kind of set the mood for them for the rest of the leg.
