Before the episode gets started, I must admit I'm not a huge fan of the preview of what's about to happen in the episode they've been doing this season. Wonder if it's effective ratings-wise though.

12:34 PM: Christie/Jodi departing. One of them says, "Please be warm!" Ride Transiberian Railroad across nearly 400 miles of frozen tundra to next location. (Missed how to spell it, sorry!) <Novosibirsk, Russia > Christie/Jodi think their biggest strength is that they do work together. 12:36PM: Kisha/Jen leaving. They think they are quicker than the other teams so their strategy is to stay with the pack so they can always beat the others in a footrace. Kisha/Jen not sure where to go now. They catch up with Christie/Jodi quickly. Both teams want to get out of the snow and the cold. They get to the train station. Their train doesn't leave until 10:26 PM. They correctly guess that all the teams will end up on the same team. In fact, we don't get to see the times the other teams start off as there is only one train a day and so all of the teams are starting out on the same level today. Mike, "Let the last become first and let the last become first." Mel saying it's a miracle that Mike is quoting the Bible. All getting on the train and complaining about the weather, "It's like Siberian Hell." The train has sleeper cars and is warm. All happy to be in the warmth. Margie and Luke talking about never having that experience before. Kisha complaining about her feet hanging off the bed. All asleep on the train now, except for Mel who is reading by a light on his head. In the morning, Margie saying she was really surprised by how well she slept. Mike says he slept like crap. Luke pretends to shed a tear. Mike jokes with him about how compassionate that is. Mike admits he didn't think Margie/Luke would be around long but now that they've used the U-Turn he realizes they are the power team. Victor says that every team knows they have to fight for themselves. Arriving at the train station now and everyone reading to get off. Off they go. All off to look for the clue box. Kisha/Jen go left and the others go right. Kisha/Jen miss the taxi they saw and Jen wants to go back the other way. Jaime/Cara get in a taxi. Luke/Margie still getting a taxi and Jaime/Cara make the taxi stop until Margie/Luke get theirs and tell them to follow. Mel/Mike are off along with Tammy/Victor. Christie/Jodi in 5th place at this point. Mark/Michael running across a busy road to get a cab. They joke about being stuntmen they do know how to get by cars. Kisha/Jen finally get a cab and Jen admits she's frustrated that they didn't stick with their plan to follow the pack. Jaime/Cara annoyed by their driver's smoking but they say they are going to keep a smile on their face. Tammy/Victor pass Mel/Mike. Mike is annoyed by them getting passed. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke arrive at the clue box. DETOUR. Russian Bride: Choose car with 4 speed manual trans, find complex and search for waiting bride. Figure out how to driver her across town to her waiting groom. Once photographer snaps their wedding picture, they'll get next clue. Russian Snowplow: Choose a car and drive down to stadium. Take turn operating cumbersome snowplows through training course to receive next clue. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke decide to do the Snowplow. Luke thinks it'll be faster. Tammy/Victor ask what the others are going to do and they decide to do the snowplow too. Mel/Mike going to do the Bride choice. Mike says he picks the detours based on what seems like more fun. Says he's rather party with a virgin bride than drive a snowplow. Teams are off with Victor sliding all over the road. Victor saying clearly he doesn't know how to drive in snow and ice. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke stopping to ask for directions. Tammy/Victor going to ask a cab driver instead. He tells them where to go and Tammy/Victor decide to leave the others. Margie/Luke follow them with Jaime/Cara going after them. They say Victor will just ditch you at the first chance. Tammy/Victor see someone giving Margie/Luke directions so they take off first. Margie honks at him and Victor says, "Sorry!" Margie/Luke say they are suspicious of them now and not sure they want to work with them... "Game on."

Back with Margie/Luke heading out. Christie/Jodi arrive at the clue box and decide to dot he Russian Bride. Mark/Michael arriving as Christie/Jodi take off. Mark/Michael decide to do SnowPlow. Kisha/Jen arriving now and they decide to do Russian Bride. They can't get their car to start and then they get it going finally. Mel/Mike arriving at the bride's building. They are amazed by the size of it. They're off to find their bride. They find one and take her. Mike tells her that she looks very pretty. Mel, "You're so beautiful." Mike, "I know, wouldn't you rather her than a snowplow?" Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke catch up with Tammy/Victor. Running for the snowplows now. Jaime/Cara not sure what to do here. Margie/Luke having the same trouble. Meanwhile Tammy/Victor find a snow plow and get started on the driving. Tammy is worried about how she'll drive the snowplow since she's a worse driver than Victor. Jaime/Cara finally see Tammy and she tells them to just get in the snowplow. Mel/Mike getting directions on how to get to their church now. Christie/Jodi, meanwhile, stopping to get directions to get to the bride. The locals seem to be drunk and they worry that they are sending them the wrong way. They decide to just go. Mark/Michael on their way to the snowplows now and talking about them each driving snowplows. They both say they'd rather go snow plow than find another bride. Back with Victor praying that his snow plow turns. Victor says Tammy is a little scared of driving a stick but he thinks she'll be ok. Jaime/Cara driving too now and switching places.

They get their flowers and head off. They find their bride and head out. Christie/Jodi finally there and they get their bride as well. They head off. Christie/Jodi telling their bride that if they were really coming to her wedding they would look nicer. Tammy/Victor finish. Victor reading a really long name. It's the largest library in Siberia. Once there they will search for their next clue. Jaime/Cara almost done now. Margie/Luke also done. Both teams head out. Mark/Michael arrive at the snow plows and get to work on the snow plow.

Longbeach: As Mystery said, it's the preview in general that I'm not a fan of... kinda funny since I spoil for you guys but I don't like to know what's going to happen. But I can see why they'd use it to try and reel people into the show. (Except the previews seem to come after the previouslies and not right at the beginning when you might still have a few 60 Minutes watchers on the channel.)

Christie/Jodi worried about where they are. They get directions on where to go from someone. They joke that they'd be lousy wedding planners. They are worried about their bride is freezing. Margie/Luke and Jaime/Cara think they've found the library. Victor still having trouble with ice. All three teams getting their clue now. ROADBLOCK. One person must participate in winter marathon the way only the bravest locals do... IN THEIR UNDERWEAR. (WOO! Phil in his undies!! Ok, I feel a little dirty about having typed out my woo for that here....) Must partner with 2 local runners and warm up for a mandatory 10 minute period. Then strip down and run approx 1.4 miles to ballet and opera theater where their partner will be waiting. It is the pit stop for this race. Luke is going to do this one. Cara is going to do it. Tammy is going to do it. Victor says he should have done it. He says he was so jealous because he really wanted to run around the streets in his underwear. Luke has warmed up and he's heading out. Margie telling the others that they should run fast. Margie says they might have had to forfeit the race if she had chosen to do this one. Cara heads out now too with Tammy right behind her. Cara walking right now and Tammy says she couldn't stop because it was so cold. They pass a cop and he sounds the siren at them. A man trying to hit on Cara and they get cars honking at them too. Mel/Mike not sure they are at the right place but they are. They get the clue, Mike is going to do it. Mark/Michael on their way and joking about blending with the locals. They get the clue and Mark is going to do it. Mike and Mark are warming up. Kisha/Jen still searching for their Church. They arrive and it's the right Church. They get their clue and head off. They ask someone for directions and head off. Christie/Jodi finally find the Church and get their clue and head off. They are currently in last place. They decide to find a cab to follow someone. They say they are concerned about being in the back but it's anyone's guess. We see that it is -4 C out. Margie cheering Luke on from her cab. Luke says he kept his head down and kept running because it was very embarrassing and he didn't want anyone to see him. Jaime and Victor at the pit stop. Jaime talking to him about leaving them and Victor says he's sorry. They are hugging as he says, 1, 2, 3. Luke arrives and he and Margie head inside. Margie/Luke are team #1. They cheer. They've won a trip for 2 to Saint Lucia. They say they're doing a lot better than they thought they would, coming in first place two times. Tammy arriving now. Jaime asks how far Cara was and Tammy says she was walking. Tammy/Victor are team #2. Victor hugs Tammy. Cara arriving now. Jaime/Cara are team #3. They clap. Mike is out and running now. Mike had worn his Russian boats that day and it was not the right footwear for a long run. Mark says that people were looking at him in the oddest ways. Christie/Jodi searching for a cab. They say they're not going to yell at each other. It seems counter-productive to add to each other's stress. Jen is sliding all over the road, with them being all icy. Christie/Jodi finally find a taxi. They head off. Kisha/Jen having difficulty driving. Jen stalls out and can't get into first gear. They think something may actually be wrong with their car.

Yay at Margie and Luke coming in first! And -4 degrees (C) is about 24 degrees (F). Not all that cold to some of you who live in the colder climes here in the States. For me, it's beyond freezing!

Jen finally gets the car started again and off they go. Mel/Michael waiting for Mike/Mark. We get to see a woman stop and look at Mike running past her. Mike stops to look back and see if he can see Mark. Mike gets there first though. Mel/Mike head inside. Mark arriving now. All the folks at the finish line cheer for him. Mark/Michael right behind Mel/Mike. Mel/Mike are team #4. They hug. Mark/Michael arrive and totally walk right past Phil even tho he waves and snaps and whistles at them. (Funny faces on Phil here.) They are team #5. Kisha/Jen arrive and Jen is going to do it. Jen says she had to change into underwear since she doesn't wear any. Jen gets warmed up and heading off now. Christie/Jodi arrive. One slams her fingers in the door. Christie is going to do the task. Both of these teams running now. Jen getting whistles. Jen says she didn't find it embarrassing at all. Says she looks hot in her underwear. Christie running and we're getting blurred screen here as she runs. Jodi is getting her finger wrapped from where she slammed it in the door. Kisha anxiously waiting. She sees someone coming and it's Jen. She cheers for her. "Alright America's Next Top Model, let's go!" Kisha/Jen are team #6. Jen puts her head down on Kisha's shoulder. Christie/Jodi are the last team to arrive. They have NOT been eliminated. Christie is glad she didn't run through the streets naked for nothing. They will encounter Speed Bump during next leg. Phil says it just goes to show you that you can go from first to last just like that. They say they do better in last place, forces them to do better. They say they have always felt like they were the underdogs in this race and it's true once again.

I could never do as well as Raen so I don't even try when she's spoiling. She's so awesome!!! I had a feeling this was going to be a non-elimination round. They've gone quite a while without one. Other years, I was surprised they would have one so early on.

OK, I'm not liking these previews one bit. Luke gets emotional at the poverty in India. He sees kids eating garbage and is crying at how poor they all are. Then Phil says they'll have to learn to live the culture. Kara and Jaime have someone apparently steal their bag and they show Mel with some kind of decorated container begging for ruples (rubles?) for the poor. Ick, I hate when they do that in a poor country!! I don't want to see well-off Americans begging from the real poor.

Well, one thing for sure, its a good thing they changed the non-elimination penalty to a speed bump, rather than the "clothes on your back" penalty they had a few seasons ago!
