Tammy also said something about Victor thinking she freezes and doesn't think... which she just told us she did basically during that last task. Wonder if those interviews were done in a different order than we saw.

Everyone on the 6:30 train now. Next clue is to find the Black Church. Jaime and Cara talk about how they just use pen and paper to talk to Luke. They say he's really appreciated the effort to communicate with him that way. Brad/Victoria getting on their plane in Amsterdam. Victoria has a sense of hope even though they are last. BRASOV: Tammy/Victor off first. Amanda/Kris asking their driver to get there before the others and their driver says he knows some shortcuts. Amanda/Kris arrive first. Christie/Jodi and Tammy/Victor right behind them. DETOUR. Gypsy Moves: Teams go to gypsy settlement. Load family belongings on horsedrawn cart. Make way to camp and unload belongings to get clue. VAMPIRE REMAINS: Drag coffin to clearing. Unlock, untangle chains on coffin. Must impale frames in coffin on stake to find hidden flag. Not sure what everyone's doing yet but Jaime/Cara say that animals can be tricky. Brad/Victoria in Romania now. Jaime/Cara have a driver who doesn't know where to go. Amanda/Kris arriving at gypsy settlement with Mel/Mike right behind them. Mel/Mike see the belongings and wonder if they made a stupid decision to have picked the most physical decision. They are getting help from the other gypsies now. Both teams loading things. Mel needs to take a little break though. Margie/Luke and Jaime/Cara lost right now. Amanda/Kris are done loading and now have to move the cart. They are losing a few things as they go. Kisha/Jen arrive at gypsy settlement. Mel/Mike on the move now. Tammy/Victor arrive at the castle with Christie/Jodi right behind them. Victor thinks he has found the marked path but Christie/Jodi find the red/yellow arrows.

Amanda/Kris unloading but Kris says he doesn't have his fanny pack. Amanda says they'll get it, not to worry. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke looking for the marked path. They find it and head off to the coffins. Tammy/Victor have made it to the top of the very high hill... that isn't where they need to be. Amanda/Kris done now. Travel by taxi to Mountain Cottage.

Kris finds his fannypack back at the camp where they unloaded their stuff. Mel/Mike and Amanda/Kris arriving at pit stop. Mel/Mike are Team #1. Mel falls to his feet a little at that. They win a trip for two. They hug. Mel says to say he is proud of Mike right now is the understatement of the century. Amanda/Kris are Team #2. They hug and Kris, "Almost #1."

OMG, I would slap Victor bald-headed if he was acting like this with me. It makes me wonder if her ever saw the show, the people who get pig-headed about being right don't win!! I hope they get going soon, I like them as a team and wanted them to stay longer.

Back with Tammy/Victor. Victor insisting they have to follow his markers. Brad/Victoria getting on the train now. Kisha/Jen finish and get clue. They head off. Margie helps Cara/Jaime figure out the first step with the locks. Margie/Luke get it and head off. Mark/Michael finish and get clue. Victor upset now. Tammy says he needs to make the decision and he says she can help make the decision. She is incredulous at this... now that they've walked up the whole mountain she can help? She says they need to go back and he agrees. Christie/Jodi get clue and head off. Jaime/Cara find their clue and head off too. They are in 7th place. Kisha/Jen are team #3. They high five. Margie/Luke are team #4. They hug. Tammy/Victor heading down the mountain again. They get to the bottom and Victor sees a stupid arrow off to the side. He apologizes for them having to go back up again. Christie/Jodi going up the hill but Mark/Michael pass them. Mark/Michael are team #5. They hug. Christie/Jodi are team #6. Mark/Michael congratulate them and they do the same. Tammy/VIctor have their coffin now and get to work figuring out how to open it. They think maybe they broke off their next key? Brad/Victoria on the train and wondering if another team could have screwed up as bad. Jaime/Cara are team #7. Victor finds the missing key and they get to work. Breaking frames now and they get the clue. They head off to pit stop. Tammy/Victor team #8. Phil f-s with them a little by saying, "I'm sorry to say... you are the second to last team to arrive." Victor is upset and he says the race is stressful. He hopes they can learn to work better together. Tammy says she learned she has to speak up a little more. She says she needs to hurt his feeling a little bit when she's sure she's right and he's wrong. She says, at the very least, she hopes they have as strong a relationship as they did coming into the race. Brad/Victoria race through the vampire task. They are the last team to arrive. They have been eliminated from the race. They say they are in a really good place in their life to begin with... Victoria says this wonderful race around the world is going to change how they view their lives together.

Next week... in the icy cold of Siberia teams' walls come tumbling down (literal walls here, we see walls of firewood tumbling down). Luke takes the ride of his life but hits a dead end. Looks like he gets frustrated with a puzzle of some sort.

Anyone notice where starting pit stop was for this leg of the race? And specifically where this leg started from? The yellow "schloss" was the Von Trapp family home in "The Sound of Music" and the glass gazebo was where Liesl and Rolfe danced and sang.

Didn't I see Kris helping M & M load their wagon? Maybe not, but it sure looked like it to me! Those gymnastic tasks were hard! I would have fallen off the balance beam enough times to kill myself! I was amazed at how physically inflexible Tammy was to be as young as she is. Now Victor wins the prize - hands down - for being mentally inflexible!

By the way, I can understand Luke just fine! He has obviously been schooled in total communication which is speech, lip reading, and signing. I hope he will feel more confident in "talking" with the others as the race progresses!

My pleasure, as always. Oh and I didn't see Kris helping them but I was looking up and down from my laptop and the screen. What I saw was some of the gypsies helping both of the teams and I'm guessing some of the others as well.

I got so irritated with Victor for not listening to Tammy. Hasn't he ever seen what happens to racers when they follow a "marker" that is not red and YELLOW? And he still didn't seem to get it when they got to an arrow that pointed in both directions. We laughed hysterically when Tammy said that they would not have a marker that pointed in two directions and Victor said something about "We need to go up here and to the right."

I love Mike and Mel! They're my favorites so far. Victor is so bull headed. I wanted to smack him along side the head.

I thought I saw Kris helping Mike and Mel, too. I think he may have helped with that one big piece that they started with.

I was in and out of the room for portions tonight. Did they show every team doing the balance beam or did they have a choice to do something else? And yes, that balance beam looked hard! I kept trying to figure out how I would even get up there to begin with and then if I kept falling, I'd have to figure out how to get up on it again, LOL! I won't even discuss what seeing my body in a leotard would do to people's eyes!

seeing it live I can't believe how lucky Victor is that they are still in the race. I know he isn't thinking they are lucky but he should thank his lucky stars that Brad and Victoria had those flight problems.

One member of each team had to do certain maneuvers on the balance beam, parallel bars, and floor exercise -- no choice.
