Stolen Taxi Can't Save Run Down Amazing Race

Reality Rehash
From Estonia to Prague the racers had little issues this leg of the race as it seems things have fallen flat. There was small drama during the pre-flight airport visit as Meghan wanted to lie that their next task was to find a black cat, not a vintage car. Since the Globetrotters figured out the clue as well Meghan's hope of sabotage was shot down, but Cheyne would pick it up a little later with a tiff between them and the Trotters. In Prague everyone but Ericka/Brian took a taxi. They decided to take a bus to a subway, which obviously was a bad decision. They switched to taking a taxi at the next bus stop they found but it put them well behind the others.

After finding the clue in the vintage car teams then went to their Detour, it was either fast or slow. Fast would have them going down a kayak course to grab a clue. If they fell out of the boat however they had to restart. The other was slow but somewhat less risky. All they had to do was pull themselves over a ropes course, it wasn't hard but took awhile. Sam/Dan were the only ones trying the kayak and after flipping about four times they quit and switched to the ropes. Only problem was Meghan/Cheyne and the Globetrotters already finished, putting them in third.

After Flight Time tried to slow down Meghan/Cheyne from getting down the rope rig, they decided to work together to find their next location. Cheyne, however, stopped that quick as he grabbed the first taxi he found, leaving the Trotters behind. They didn't seem to care though but decided that they should stop working together. Back at the rope Detour Sam and Ericka struggled. Sam finished first though giving the brothers the lead and a chance to steal Ericka and Brian's taxi. They tried to scream at him to stay but it didn't work, it did however fuel Ericka to pull faster!

The Road Block for this leg was another type of "go find the clue" challenge. They've had several of them this leg, actually they have the past three legs. I guess they're running out of challenges after 15 seasons! So this time one team member would have to find a small instrument hidden somewhere in 600 seat theater. They had them hidden under chairs and between things so it wasn't easy to find and also had some annoying guy singing opera as well. After bringing out several LARGE instruments, Cheyne found his first and the two were off to claim their fifth first place finish. I foresee two more in their future, one being the win.

That left the Globetrotters, Brothers and Ericka/Brian left and with the brothers then the Trotters getting their instruments it was kind of obvious what would happen. Sam/Dan finished in second place while Flight Time/Big Easy finished in third. They didn't pull each other down this time though and I think their fight was basically blow out of proportion. Gotta love editing. Ericka did however find a small instrument while the opera singer ate a sandwich and rested by sitting next to Brian. They came in fourth but weren't eliminated as Phil teased them for several minutes, telling them they're still in the game. Ericka didn't seem too happy though and I think she spoke for most of us by saying this season is starting to drag on.
