Hmm quiet around here but here we go... 4th pit stop... and Phil recaps the teams arriving and D/MJ arriving last and his stripping all of their money. Will they be defeated by this obstacle?? K/J leave at 12:52 AM. Find most well known slave house on the island. They are looking for it. 2:18 AM. J/Vic taking off. Jon is upset that he and Vic can't pull it together and fight. 2:19 AM. L/Bolo off to look for the slave house. Lori 2:20 AM: H/A are off. H admits she's been a bit b*tchy. 2:21 AM. F/K are off... Seems they have an alliance with H/A and they are hooking up to look for the slave house. 2:22 AM. R/A are off Darn.. I missed H/G's time but they are off. Hera wonders if the slaves knew what they were getting into. 4:28 AM: D/MJ are off with no cash. K/J arrive. Long info about the slaves ... passing through the "Door of No Return" before leaving they must honor the slaves who have passed through the door and were traded... at 8:00 AM they will be given a chance to pass into the house and leave a rose at the floor of the archway. All the teams lined up and going in to lay their roses down, pausing to say prayers, etc. G/H heading into the house and Gus is visibly shaken and upset. Hera asks if he is ok and pats him on the arm. They start to leave but he is crying so they sto pto look at the doorway some more before heading out. D/MJ are the last to honor the slaves. Gus apologizes to Hera for embarassing her and she says that he didn't embarass her. Gus tells us how he saw himself in that house and he hopes that the others realize the magnitude of the human experience that this race gives them. Make their way to the remains of the Berlin, Germany to the Berlin Wall (yay! I used to live there.) They must travel by train to one of the few sections of the wall that are still standing. People running to make the ferry but they miss it. Hera notes that another departs at 9:30. D/MJ know they need money now and start to figure out how... MJ says she can't bear to ask the people of the island for money when they have nothing. So, they start asking the other teams and they do give them money. D/MJ are very thankful but D notes that they now have more money than some of the other teams. Jon recruiting a native to take him to a travel agent after they get off the island. H/A and F/K making plans to get tickets for each other. Getting off the ferry and getting taxis... off to the airport. They are racing each other to the airport now. K/J are looking for a travel agent. F/K stuck in traffic and not moving much. F/K giving their driver a hard time, telling him to push his way through. OMG! Kendra is commenting that this city is just wretched and horrible and they just keep breeding, she can't take it!!! (Ugh.) A/R getting tickets now, 7:15 to Berlin. Ahh, they stopped at travel agent to get those... K/J did the same and now off to the Dakar Airport. Others arriving at the airport now and hurrying to ticket counter. H/A getting tickets and buying tickets for F/K at the same time. L/B upset by that and saying they shouldn't be allowed to do that. Bolo and Hayden getting into a fight now about H/A buying the ticketes. Bolo tells H to just be quiet. She says she doesn't have to... looks like he wants to start a fight but we go to commercial.

So while we're waiting on commercial... who are we wantin' to win this season? I'm not finding many really likeable. I know who I definitely DON'T want to win.. J/V (can't stand him but like her), H/A (can't stand her "baby" this and "baby" that), L/B (just not sure why they are there)... Not sure I really like D/MJ (they aren't gonna last I don't think)...

Back. H decides that F/K will have to get their own tickets now because there is too much commotion. Bolo apologizes to H. L/B, D/MJ, and F/K all get the same tickets. Everyone getting on flight now. Must way their way to East Side Gallery of the wall. Ahh, here we go, they run out and grab taxis. F/K in first and K says it is a big difference from the third world. Everyone seems to be in good moods. D/MJ are behind but just behind L/B. Ahh! The S-Bahn. F/K arrive at train station and find out they must go to the S-Bahn station. J/V and A/R go down to the U-bahn but they man tells them they must go to the S-bah. Jonathon asks if A/R are following them and they say no. Jon then tells them they need to stop following. (Uhh, they are all going the same place, of course they are going the same way.) G/H arrive at train station... L/B arrive and find out they must take the S-train. G/H on train. H/A on as well. L/B on their way up. MJ comments that she thinks everyone is ahead of them. F/K and J/V and R/A arrive, looking for the clue. A calling to R to follow him. They go inside the wall. J/V run down the wall instead and find the clue box. Clue: Make your way to Broken Chain Sculpture for their next clue. G/H and K/J arrive at the wall too. They are looking for the clue. Next to arrive are L/B. A/R and F/K are still looking as well. D/MJ arriving now. K/J find the clue. LOL, they are all having trouble pronouncing the name of the half destroyed church where the sculpture is located. Everyone getting the clue now... all telling their taxis to go fast. D/MJ get back on S-Bahn to get there.... J/V get the next clue: DETOUR. Beers or Brats. Beer: Make their way to Baur House, pick up as many steins as they can carry and search for coasters with their picture/names on them. Trade 2 steins for each coaster... I think there were 5 coasters or set of coasters they have to collect. Brat: Make their way to a place called the Citadel, make five continous links of bratwurst of 7 inches... J/V, L/B, and A/R doing Brats. F/K, K/J, and H/A doing Beer D/MJ just arriving at church now. J/V arrive and start making their links. J/V hard at work on their links. F/K looking for their coasters now. They find one. They have two now... and they find a third. H/A also looking for coasters. F/K now have 4 as H/A also find their fourth. D/MJ arrive at church and can't find the sculpture, even though they've walked all the way around the church. (They need to re-read the clue about ACROSS the street.)

Hmmm, well I like Don and MJ but I don't think they are going to win - as we are being shown again tonight. I think they've showed a lot of spunk and like their relationship but don't think they are the best racers. I have to admit I've really started to like Kris and Jon the best. They seem to care about each other and they work well together.

MJ is rereading the clue now, guess it did not say anything about going across the street. MJ tells D to look across the street and D sees it now. D upset at himself for not getting it before and MJ says what done is done and they will go forward from here. They are going to do the Brats. J/V judge checking their links and hands them clue. Make their way to Teufelsberg (5 miles). At the base of the mountain they will find their next clue. They leave and look for taxi. As they are leaving, L/B arrive. J screams at Vic to hurry up because another team as arrived. He bickers at her about hurrying up. L/B start to work but they are bickering too. H/A and F/K both find all of their coasters. LOL, they are drinking some beer as they are given their clue. They both grab cabs and making their way. The cab driver calls the company to get directions to the location and they start off. H/G now looking for coasters with their names. L/B working away at their links. Lori tells Bolo to slow down. A/R finally arrive and get started. L/B's links are too short. A is laughing and R tells him to pay attention. K/J arrive and start looking for their coasters now. G/H still looking and G keeps drinking the beer. Bolo is eating the sausage filling and Lori is pissed at him. K/J find all five of their coasters. They are in 4th place and head out to next location. G/H get their coasters and head out. H stops him from taking another beer. G sends her out and wants to grab a drink but Hera tells him NOT to! She tells him he has a problem when they get in the cab. A/R still working on their links and R is getting annoyed with A because he is joking around. L/B get their clue and they are in 6th place. They ask for directions and then ask the guy to take them to the location. A/R finish and their judge comes over and gives them their clue. They head out in 7th place. They tell the cab to go fast. L/B are taking the train. D/MJ arrive and start working on their sausages. The judge comes over and gives them their clue. (Ok, that task is grossing me out.) D/MJ getting a cab and L/B are stuck in the train, seems they've gone too far...

Oh, also, MJ was praying that another team had screwed up and that they were not in last place. That was when they cut to L/B in the train asking someone on the train if she knew where they were going and she told them they needed to get off and go back.

Train tunnel. Lori is yelling at Bolo that she told him the last station was the right one and he asks why she didn't get off then. They ask passengers if they know where to go and a guy says he can walk with them and show them. He takes them to next train... ROADBLOCK. Has to climb to top of Devil's Mountain and race a soap box down the course in 37 seconds, a competitive speed in the German Soap Box Derby circuit. J/V arrive and Jon does the task. he does it in 35 seconds. Now they must drive themselves to the next pit stop (actually they must drive to marked flag spot and then make their way, on foot, to the gate), the Brandenburg Gate. OK, they get to take Mercedes!! Incredible. J/V get going as F/K arrive ... Freddy does it. He does it in 35 seconds. They head off to pit stop. They are going to follow their taxi driver from before. H/A arrive and do it... I think Aaron did it. They do it and head off. G/H and K/J arrive and race down... Jon and Hera do it, both in 34 seconds. G/H and K/J following a taxi driver together to the spot. L/B still looking for the right place. A/R arrive and R does the racing. She does it in 34:79 seconds. D/MJ are driving.... as L/B are walking, looking for the right spot. J/V seem to be lost now as they start to fight about Vic losing her map. They change drivers. As they swtich, F/K drive past. V can't reach the pedals and they must switch again. F/K arrive and pay their driver as J/V arrive and race out, passing F/K. F tells K to run, that they can outrun J/V. J having trouble with his pack. He yells to Vic that he can't do it. Now Vic is having trouble.... ugh, they are just screaming at each other as they race to Phil. J gave Vic his back pack and she is crying and screaming at J that she can't do it. She is crying now as F/K at the mat first. Jon screams at her, "Why did you take my bag? Why?" K/F, you are team #1. They hug. They win a vacation to exotic Mexico. They hug again. J/V limping up now and Jon smacks Vics shoulder knocking her down. She yells at him to, "Stop it." Phil looks disgusted by this display. J/V you are team #2. Jon thanks Phil and then yells at Vic for picking up his pack. She walks off crying as Phil says her name. Jon comments to Phil that she shouldn't have picked it up and Phil tells him he should go talk to Vic. He walks over and says, again, that she shouldn't have done that and she says she does not want to talk to him. Lori does the race and makes it in 35:15 seconds. MJ doing their racing..she does it in 35 seconds...and crashes at the end. H/A are team #3 K/J are team #4 G/H are team #5 A/R are team #6 D/MJ driving now as L/B asking for directions. L/B are team #7. D/MJ are the last team to arrive and they are eliminated. Don thanks Phil for having them. They say they are blessed and Don says MJ is an absolutely amazing woman. We fade on Don giving MJ a kiss.

OK, THAT was the most ridiculous scene I've EVER seen on a reality show. They should be eliminated for that alone. To clarify because I kinda missed it during the first watching... Jon was having trouble with his back pack and Vic was urging him on, telling him he could do it as they ran. Jon then threw it down on the ground and kept running. Vic stopped and picked it up but quickly couldn't handle running with both bags. Jon wasn't looking back at all and finally came back when she couldn't do it. That's when he grabbed it and shoved her, causing her to fall, and started yelling at her as she cried.... Next Ep: J/V wage a battle of the sexes. Kendra goes down for the count (bunging jumping and it looks like she gets sick).

Did you see in the next episode where Vic says she can't do it and that Jon has to be the 'man' in this one. And Jon says, "You be the woman and be quiet then." ????

Well, I suppose we should be thankful Jon And Vic don't have their own reality show. And Jon complains about the editing? How in the world can someone make that scene look any worse than it was? I don't find it entertaining to watch a woman being abused. I have to wonder how much the producers suspected scenes like this would happen and cast these two because of it. I expect more from this show than that.
