Last week we learned that when you "candle-a-bra" you get "elimin-a-ted" and that someone's gonna get their ass beat this episode! WHY?! Because it's Amazing Race and somebody's gotta get whooped!
Teams start out in the marshes of Estonia where we left them and we see Team Master Race get the first clue - fly to Prague! Nice! Very jealous. Hot boys and tastey pastries.
Once there, teams must find a vintage "praga" and discover that it's a car and not just the way Phil would pronounce "Prada". Oh that devilish New Zealander accent of his.
Team BroMo is excited for the trip! Well... Dan asks, "Do they speak Spanish there?" and Sam follows us with, "Yes, it's a country." So I'm not really sure where the fuck they think they're going. I imagine they'll get there and cry, "What?! Wait! Where's south beach?!!"
Team Trotters starts out by saying they made up with the BroMos! Boo! That's no fun for us. Perhaps someone will get knocked down a flight of stairs "by accident".
Team Oreo heads out and says their game plan is to be nice to everyone. Something tells me ONE of them is gonna find that difficult when elbows get thrown.
While all the teams discover the fastest flights to Prague at the airport and then settle in until the next morning, Team Master Race earns their namesake by using the internet to research the "Praga"! WHY DON'T THE TEAMS EVER LEARN AND DO SHIT LIKE THIS! Oh - in the meantime the Trotters do the same.
Uh... I hope they make those 2 sit on opposite sides of that tinker-toy airplane! If one of them so much as sneezes that thing's going down like a BroMo at a sauna.
Once in Prague, teams run for taxis and head for the city center. EXCEPT for Team Oreo, who on a tip from a local, takes the bus and subway system. Ooohh! I hope it pays off!
Look at those lady legs! Which one of you was Miss America?!
Back in Team Trotter's taxi the have the oldest living Czech taxi driver is taking them around. It's hysterical. He just repeats whatever they say.
If this guy doesn't clutch his chest and take a face plant into that wheel before they get there I'll be SHOCKED.
Team Master Race arrives first and finds the Praga while BroMos follow them and find it too. CHEATERS! That's crap. They didn't even know what a Praga was until they saw them find it. I hate that. The car should've been hidden more.
Teams get their next clue, "Kayaky Troja". Team Master Race and Team BroMos then race to the kayak place. On the way though, Sam tries to take in the sights while his douchebag brother makes fun of him for doing so. Why's it always the hot one that's an ass? I think Sam's cute for trying to actually appreciate the places everyone else is blowing through.
Team Trotters find the Praga while Team Oreo is STILL stuck in traffic on public transit. They finally decide to take a taxi and things get heated when it appears Brian is blaming Princess for the mishap. No worries. She let's that slide for about .2 seconds before bitch slapping the goatee off his face.
Meanwhile, the two lead teams reach the detour. "Fast" is they get into kayaks and race along a raging river (FINALLY!!! A fun/difficult/exciting challenge!!! Not "go down a fucking waterslide"!) or "slow" is they pull themselves along an aerial ropes course. BroMos choose "fast" while Master Race chooses "slow" since Meghan's scared to kayak. After the "hay" debacle she should just hang on Cheynne's back and let him pull her.
Love you, peeping camera man. Camera guy is totally gay. AND my bestie.
Team Trotters arrive and choose "slow" since I think the one is still scarred from the boat/watch challenge. Besides...
Uhhh... why? Was it on fire? I mean... I know it's the projects. But I'm assuming they splurge on stairs when building them, right?
I swear these two could relate anything to the projects. "Atomic Bomb Challenge!" Their response, "Shit! One time my momma blew up a ham roast in the oven - whole project came down around us. A-bomb ain't got nuthin!"
Team BroMos brags to the teams on ropes above them that they're gonna beat them and seconds later start to argue. Love it! These two can be such a-holes.
That's a whole lotta catty for one lil' boat. PLUS they have to fit their hand bags in there too.

Yes, camera guy --- way gay. Thank God!
I SO would have taken TEAM OREO's cab. Uh, it's for a million dollars!
The race would really heat up if the producers let the contestants run over other teams that got in their way.

I find it extremely amusing that you word-associate "Prague" with "Hot boys and tastey pastries."
For me it's "cockroach and Golem."
Once again, it didn't matter at all who came in first, since they all got on the same plane anyway. Ho-hum.
And really, if it's as easy as hitting up the internet for the answers, why bother giving a clue? Just hand them the damn envelope when they get there. Better yet, they can just drive past and wave.
Something tells me the same people who designed the clues and challenges on this show also did this season's Survivor.
Hell, didn't they have a gnome on this season's TAR too?
Everytime the Master Race come on I want to get out my scissors and cut that guy's hair. Is that going to be next year's white trash fashion accessory?
The problem is, it takes a couple of years for these things to reach France. And then they get all mashed up. Lot of kids here wearing faux hawks AND mullets these days. It's disturbing.
One last question: the host guy is from New Zealand? I was convinced he was from Brooklyn.

I'm with you, Itchy. For me, Prague=Gollum.
I have a feeling that the non-elimination legs got screwed up. I think they were planning on using them earlier but couldn't so they pushed them back. I'm glad that Team Oreo didn't get eliminated, because I SO want to see Ms A confront the BroMos. You know this isn't going to be like the Trotters with a "We made up off camera." Ms A is taking her shoe off! lol
Thanks for a great recap. I'm sort of rooting for Team Trotter at this point. But really I don't really dislike any team at this point so I'll just be enjoying the rest of the season.

Favorite recap lines:
"Save my Prada bag!!!" "Fuck you! Save my Gucci Bag!" "I never loved you!!!" "AHHH!!!" Glurg, glurg, glurg...
"Wanna tango?! LET'S DO THIS!!! I'll roll you like a bale of hay!"
tense up like a white woman at the Apollo.
Loved this recap. I agree with Snootchy Bootches, love the remaining teams and will enjoy the rest of this season. My one complaint is that the challenges have been to easy.

"The Trotters get closer to the theatre as the BroMos finish the ropes course and Miss America is still swaying in the middle."
Wha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
My favorite line e-vah!

Dan has been the more aggravating of the Bromos team, but I agreed with him. You don't sightsee during the race! If Sam wanted to sightsee, why didn't he go on a vacation, not on a television show with "race" in the title? I am all for appreciating the sights, but not during the race. If you like somewhere, come back to it, rent a hotel, exchange some dollar bills, and visit.

I just read that they film this show in just three weeks, so they really are in a big hurry. Why bother looking at the world around you, when you can just stomp all over it?
Also, the same people who cast this show cast Survivor. So I'm assuming that they're also sharing other crew and staff, which is why Survivor is becoming as lame as this show.
I'm willing to bet my hat (I love my hat) that next season's TAR will feature an evil Russell-type.

I can't respect people who are willing to dump their integrity for a price...so I was disgusted by the Brothers stealing the taxi.
I loved Don Giovani and his over-theatrical laugh with the deadpan "No" afterward. I wish he was on every season.
Go, Team MasterRace! (or Team Oreo...either one is fine with me.)

Lame though the challenges may be this season, I don't know if these particular racers are up for anything more than counting cathedral bells and finding numbered candle-a-bras (which is doubly true of Survivor).
Dan of Bromos, is sort of a taller, hotter, douchier version of Lil' Russell who looks like a satyr minus the cloven hooves. If you look at Dan kind of squinty and add breasts on him instead of the oily pecs and then switch the amount of hair on his head with the amount of hair on his chest, you'd totally have Lil' Russell.
Kind of got the feeling that there was supposed to be an Philimination this round, but the producers are either (a) scared shitless at the prospect of eliminating Her Highness (v wise) or (b) they don't like the Bromos v much and want to see the gay slapped off their mugs by Her Highness. I know I want to see it, so not so upset about another non-elimination-immunity-idol being played. I rather like Sam, but Dan, blegh. :)
I'm w/ cattyfan, I loved Don Giovanni, his ha-ha-ha-NO was terribly awesome. I thought Cheyne was going to bash his oversized hat in with that guitar he was carrying around for a while.

King Russell is hotter than Dan of the Bromos and MORE MAN than Dan will EVER be.
(Though Dan is cute in his own way. You know: that young, whiny, sense of entitlement, BIG BABY, perfect body -- way.)

Between Mr. Dangerous and Itchy, the comments are way more entertaining than the show! I didn't mind seeing the cab stealing, although it was pointless since Erika was so far behind in the competition and it really didn't have much affect on the Bromos position within the race. Unless Cheyne and Meghan have a meltdown, there is no way they lose the race.
As far as Russell on Survivor, even if he doesn't win the million dollars, he is getting a check from the production company behind Survivor. (IMHO, just conjecture).

I wasn't surprised by the non-elimination round -- haven't they been doing that fairly often prior to the top 3 being picked?
And wouldn't Dan and Cheynne make a great couple? They're both such wimpy whiny bitches. Sad thing is, Dan would so be the butch one in that relationship.
I think Sam is the hot one out of the BroMos, by the way -- but to each his/her own...

Mr. Dangerous - do you really mean bald Russel on Survivor? I think he's gross. Dan is way hotter. And Sam is hotter than both of them. And smarter. Not that that's saying much.
