The will be a double Amazing Race recap as the teams race through Berlin, Germany and then on to Kazakhstan because we got two back to back episodes. First, the head to Berlin via train and everyone is once again back together. Once they arrive everyone gets a taxi except the blond girls that almost went home last week. They eventually catch up to the rest. Oh no, they have to drive. Team Purple is driving impaired. The cars are weird. The seats are where they should be, but the steering wheel is in the middle of the dashboard. Plus, they are tiny little cars! The footballers can barely fit in the car. There are complicated directions for how to operate the car. They struggle to figure out how to start the car. It’s a strange manual transmission.
Disco Dancing
They drive to a mini disco that barely holds two people. They have to dance for like five minutes and take a photo to get their next clue. The point is to separate everyone by a few minutes because there is only one tiny disco. Yay! Team Eyeglasses is lost. Now Team Purple’s car has died. They have to run to the next roadblock. Oh Lord. It’s a face forward rappel off a huge building. And they have to take the stairs to the top. The frontrunners alliance help each other solve the clues. Hung and Chee give the answer to the footballers. Then, the footballers took the only cab, and the lead to the next challenge! Hung and Chee are pissed.

The footballers choose the beer yoga option. They have to learn a yoga routine that involves a bottle of beer and teach the moves to a yoga class. It looks complicated. But I bet the beer is good. The footballers are never going to get this. Team Eyeglasses struggles to get the clue from the rappeling challenge. The blondes are last to rappel. The poor girl is terrified. She doesn’t know the clue so she had to do it again. And again. And again. She finally got the letters and they went to sing the chicken song. Poor girl. So far everyone else is doing beer yoga. Oh Team Purple does the other challenge. They have to learn a song in German. This one seems really hard too.
It’s Hung And Chee Against The Footballers
The first team to head for the head to the pitstop is the footballers. Hung and Chee are in second place. They flew through the beer yoga challenge. Team Beards is in third. Will and James rocked the chicken song and dance and leave in fourth place. Team Beards came in second. Hung and Chee came in third. Phils is shocked they waited for another team when they were in first. Phil lets them know that the footballers won 15K. Ouch. The blondes are last but it’s a non-elimination round!

So the seven teams head off to Kazakhstan. Hung and Chee is really to get rid of the footballers. Team Purple also sees them as just their secondary alliance. Everyone is on the same flight. It’s cold and snowy in Kazakhstan. The challenges are hard. They are at a movie set. They chose from either doing stunts or watching a complicated scene and answering question. I think the Hung and Chee take the lead. Team Purple is third. I missed who was second. Footballers are fourth. Team Eyeglasses is struggling. The blonds beat eyeglasses and are in sixth place! We could get Team Eyeglasses out!
Silence Of The Lamb Head
The next challenge they have to decorate the inside of a yurt to match the example. It’s so cold they can’t feel their feet or their fingers. Team Purple tells the blondes to yield Team Eyeglasses for 20 minutes. YAY! Everyone loves Team Purple… well… except the one of you that is Team Eyeglasses. The beards caught up to Team Purple! It’s a taxi race to the finish line. Will and James WIN THE LEG! They won a five night VIP trip to Las Vegas at the Venice themed hotel. Then Phil tells them that the next leg will be a mega leg with double the challenges. It will be the toughest leg so far. The blondes don’t know that they have to bring the platter to get the head. COME ON GIRLS! Beat Eyeglasses! They get it and leave in fifth place. YES! Team Eyeglasses is gone!
Great recap. So happy for team purple. Hoping they win it all.
First my father son team and now Eyeglasses. Im now NFL cuz…I don’t know. BUT I realized why I liked Eyeglasses! Had a boyfriend in mid ’70’s who looked like him, but with long hair and a rock band. He played Elton John songs to me on the piano and we read Kurt Vonnegat.
I’m not a long time viewer of this show but really really like it, especially the travel. Have they always gave each other the answers like this? Cuz I don’t like that. The sauerkraut thing pissed me off. I get alliances but just think it ruined the whole challenge. And then she told him about the lambs head really?
Continuing with my irrational hatred of the smarmy Boyfriends.
Excited that even though I would fail at all challenges, I can drive virtually anything. Literally.
The answer sharing while allowed has never been this widespread. I’m sure production hates it. The sauerkraut thing was a bit too far for me. The footballers would STILL be there trying to figure it out. Although I am rooting for Team Purple, their biggest competition in Hung and Chee. They are pretty great at everything.
YAY YAY YAY for the blondes! (Villanelle!)
I was so happy when they got the second non elim, but even HAPPIER when they beat the horrible smug eyeglasses team! YAY!
The movie scene was pretty cool!
I’ll ne honest, when the top tier teams finish I tune out a bit. So the blondes, glasses couple, and cal bears teams need to go. The purple team getting the blondes to yield was classic, loved that and the couple is now gone score!!!
Forgot to mention that I loved the locations and challenges of this episode! Interesting places ahd edited/filmed so well!
Me too! Kazakhstan was AMAZING to see. I’ve never even seen virtual footage of that country before. Makes me want to go in person!
