Nick/Starr say this is the most time they've spent with each other. They admit they'd probably be at each other's throats more if they were closer to last.

10:47 PM: Toni/Dallas leaving now. Dallas dealing for a good deal on the taxi ride to the airport. Toni/Dallas say they really want to get first. Dallas says he'll do anything it takes to win this race for his mom.

11:17 PM: Ken/Tina getting a taxi. Tina telling Ken to yell for a taxi. Tina says it's a stressful situation being on the race. Says they're both very different in a lot of ways. (Talking about him wanting to chill out and her being stressed.)

Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas at the airport together. Dallas and Starr are walking together and talking. He tells her he's mad that they keep beating them out (not saying it as if he's really mad). They are sitting next to each other and Dallas has his hand on her leg. Nick says he thinks Dallas is the kind of guy who can hold his own with Starr. Dallas again saying he's pissed that Nick/Starr have won so many things.

Ken/Tina arrive and getting flights. They try to find an earlier flight but there are none.

12:41 AM: Andrew/Dan leaving. They are stuck without shoes because they left their shoes at the theater. They have on slippers from their hotel right now. They both say how they have to get shoes. Andrew/Dan dealing for a better deal on their taxi.

I think they paid more than Dallas but I don't remember the other prices people paid. But they are making a point to talk about the money here as well as how expensive Moscow is...

Dallas laughing at Dan/Andrew and their lack of shoes. They find a shoe store in the airport and end up spending about $300 on shoes.

All on their flight and off now.

MOSCOW
All teams running for taxis. They can't seem to find any. Andrew/Dan see them first and get one. They are off. They're worried about the cost of the taxi since it's almost all their money.

Nick/Starr get a driver who doesn't speak any English. Toni/Dallas also get a driver. Ken/Tina get a driver as well but their driver doesn't seem to know where he's going.

Andrew/Dan think "that red thing looks kind of Churchy." Andrew says only he and Dan would say something looks "churchy"

All in cars and on their way. Dallas makes a crack about Andrew/Dan probably on their way to another country and Toni laughingly says, "Stop it!"

Andrew/Dan and Ken/Tina's drivers stopping to get directions.

Toni/Dallas and Nick/Starr arrive together. They head inside and are lighting their candles now. Toni says she thinks there's a certain reverence you have to pay to the history of the Church. Both get their clues...

Travel by taxi to Kolosok Camp. Will have to search for next clue. Both teams are off.

Andrew/Dan and Ken/Tina still trying to find the Monastery.

Toni/Dallas talking about how much the taxis are costing them in Moscow. They talk about how they could be out of money quick if they have to keep taking taxis.

Andrew/Dan and Ken/Tina arrive and lighting their candles now and getting the clue.

Andrew/Dan ahead of Ken/Tina here. Not by much but a little.

Ken/Tina back in their taxi and off.

Toni/Dallas arrive at Kolosok Camp.

DETOUR.

Boots: Join training squad and learn traditional march. If drill sergeant is satisfied with their march, they get next clue.

Borscht: Find mess tent and serve borscht to 75 soldiers. Once soldiers have received bulk of borscht they will get next clue. (Teams with messy serving method may have to repeat parts of task.)

All teams have to get outfitted in uniform first and then do task.

Toni/Dallas getting dressed... they want to do BOOTS.

Nick/Starr still lost. Nick telling Starr to calm down.

Andrew/Dan and Ken/Tina arrive at camp now. Andrew/Dan doing BOOTS. Andrew wants to do march because he has 6 years of Marching Band under their belt.

Anyone notice that Starr was wearing Nick's shirt and Nick Starr's? Will that hurt them at the pit stop?

Soldiers laughing and Dan says, "Yeah, I know it's funny. I know it's funny." He says he's a jewish white kid, he has no rhythm. They decide to change tasks.

Toni/Dallas can't find the bakery now. But they find it. ROADBLOCK.

Join ranks of working class by becoming a delivery person. Unload 50 of 50 lb bags of flour. Toni giving Dallas encouragement. She tells him that no one else is going to be to move as quickly. She's trying to encourage him to go slower since they're ahead. She doesn't want him to tire out.

Ken/Tina arrive and Ken is doing the task.

Dallas still working but he's getting tired quickly. He worries that Ken will be able to power through this task easily.

Nick/Starr are lost again as Andrew/Dan are getting started at their task. Dan says he knows he's an idiot. They have 11 of 75 bowls done now.

Nick/Starr still lost.

Dallas completes his task. He gets his instructions. Make way to park... "Fun Gardens" is pit stop for this leg of the race. They head off... their driver seems to know.

Tina wonders how Dallas did 50 so fast. Ken finishes and gets clue. They head off. Tina tells Ken he did awesome.

Nick says that Dallas probably palmed these bags.

Andrew/Dan on their way to the bakery. Nick working hard here... has 31 of 50 bags delivered. Starr tells him to take a break if he needs it... Nick is on his last bag now. He gets his clue and they head off... except they now have to find a taxi.

Nick/Starr finally find a taxi and get going. Andrew/Dan worried about their money now.

Toni/Dallas find the right entrance and looking for the library. They head off. Ken/Tina right behind them.

Nick/Starr worried that their driver doesn't know either but he does seem to know. Starr getting frustrated with him..

Toni/Dallas still running and looking as are Tina/Ken. Andrew/Dan and Nick/Starr in car.

Toni/Dallas get directed by someone. Ken/Tina seem to be right behind...

YES!!! Toni/Dallas are Team #1.... Toni, "Say it, Phil." Phil, "Say what?" Dallas, "Toni/Dallas you are team #1." Phil, "You really want me to say it?" And he does! They hug and kiss. They also won a trip.

Ken/Tina are team #2. They kiss. They talk about the tensions lately but think they've calmed down now.

Starr getting frustrated and Nick gets annoyed at her freaking out about it. Nick trying to get her to stop stressing out. Nick thanking their driver for putting up with them.

Andrew/Dan arrive and they are having trouble with not having enough money. Nick/Starr bickering. Starr wanted to go through another gate and Nick wants to know why if the clue told them to go through this one. They are getting directions from people around them.

Andrew/Dan with their driver and don't have enough money to pay him.

Nick/Starr still searching as Dan tries to get his driver to take his shoes in exchange for money. He refuses but the driver does eventually take the money they have and leaves.

Nick/Starr are team #3... Starr thinks they are in last place but Phil says he has good news, they aren't last. They say they've never been so happy to be team #3.

Andrew/Dan are the last team to arrive. Phil, "I'm sorry to tell you... you're still in the race." Non-elmin. Next leg they'll encounter a Speed Bump. They say they need a miracle not to be eliminated what with being low on money and having a Speed Bump ahead of them. They say they'd rather be the underdogs... people like seeing the underdogs win. (ED: Not in this case, boys.)

They focused a lot of time on the price of the shoes and how expensive Russia is that I figured that it would come into play.

Next time: Dan struggles to learn some new moves on the race and one team loses their passport and all their money. (They show a scene from each team having troubles so we can't tell which one finds themselves in that predicament.)

Not sure if they money thing would have made much of a difference since Nick/Starr arrived at the park first (and it seemed like they spent just as much time as the first two teams in finding the right location) but it certainly didn't help the boys.

No, Mush, they spent a good deal of their money to replace their shoes. And they didn't bargain their first taxi drivers down to a better price like the other teams did. They really didn't have the money because they had spent most of it elsewhere.

I really wondered if Starr & Nick having shirts switched was going to hurt them at the pit stop.

Sorry -- yeah, I meant next week about getting pick-pocketed (is that a word?). I just can't imagine how anyone could lose a passport. But, then again, if it ends up being Andrew and Dan anything is possible!
