The Flight Attendants take off from Siberia via train to Russia with Jen & Kisha close behind. Kisha comes out with one of my fav lines of the season:

Kisha: How do you know we're going in the right way - I ain't trying to walk around Russia! Jen: It's beautiful! Kisha: BEAUTIFUL MY ASS!

Love it! You think she put THAT on the application for Amazing Race?!! "RUSSIA? Oh heeellllll no!"

Everyone catches up at the train station where Mike quotes from the bible, "Let the first become last and the last become first." Wow. Mike was quoting from the bible?! I'm shocked a giant thunderbolt didn't just wipe out half of Russia.

There's cramped quarters on the train. Kisha's feet hang over the bed...

And apparently there's some sort of food shortage.

Mike, realizing the they're one of the stronger teams, takes time to butter up to Margie and Luke. In the process he calls Luke a "sinister deaf kid." Yikes. Might want to let Mel do the smooth talking from now on. Thank god he got out of there before he called Margie a "menopausal vaginosaur".

Teams arrive at the city (long Russian name - no vowels). The Cheerleaders start to take off and then wait for their fav's, Margie & Luke. Are those two wearing pheromones or what?! What's with all the love?

Lil Guy's run across 4 lanes of traffic and claim it's "Ok - we know how to get hit by cars! We're STUNTMEN!"

I think someone told them they had stunted growth at some point and they misunderstood.

DETOUR! Phil tells us that teams must choose between 2 unavoidable aspects of Siberian life - "Russian Bride" or "Russian Snowplow". WOW. I can't believe they just compared marrying a woman and shoveling snow - and called them both "unavoidable".

Although to be fair - brides or snow - both are getting plowed by days end.

Side note:

Luke: You are deaf - not blind. Fix your fucking hair for 5 seconds. You look like you're trying to bring grunge back in. And nobody wants that.

Mel and Mike choose to look for a bride - for the first and last time ever.

And WTF happened to Victor too?! TORE UP. Listen people - cold or not - you're on TV - look PRETTY. It's all we ask. Especially after you a-holes let Kris get booted.

Teams all get lost on the way to their challenges. Victor starts to find his way and promptly ditches the other teams. Luke is FURIOUS!

He shows us the sign for "I'll strangle the fuck out of Victor."

The Flight Attendant's do the Russian Brides because they say they're easy. (I just wanted to be able to write that sentence.)

Mike and Mel are so cute as they find their Russian bride. They're really excited and sweet to her. It's too bad she can't marry a sweet, American gay man. There'd be a lot less body hair and beatings to deal with.

Meanwhile Victor's complaining that it's hard to drive stick. But I'm guessing if anyone's a pro at it - he is.

At the snow plow challenge, the Cheerleaders are FREAKING OUT that no one there speaks English!!! I'd be pissed too. Almost as pissed as if I went to an Italian restaurant and ordered the bean burrito. WTF?!!?

The Flight Attendants have a bad run-in with some locals. Apparently they "smelled of vodka and had bad teeth". DAMN! It looks like Linda & Steve missed a leg of the race when they would've been in their element!

The locals really loved the FA's though...

If only Luke could've been there to translate.

Lil' Guys say they'll be excellent at driving snow plows because they've done it before. Didn't they say that about stacking wood? This should be good.

The Cheerleaders plow their way through the challenge surprisingly well. As do Margie and Luke. Luke seems especially bratty this episode. Anyone else agree?

The FA's apologize to their Russian bride...

Cause you KNOW that's their prime man-feasting time. Total cougars-in-training.
