Mistakes Are Costly!
The teams must travel by train to Munch, then fly over 700 miles to Bucharest, Romania. Upon landing, they must take a taxi to a gymnast hall. So Tammy & Victor were the first team to leave (they were the first team to arrive at the pit stop on the last show). Then Mel & Mike left, and after them the Amanda & Kris team departed.
The first plane out with Tammy & Victor had mechanical problems, and had to come back to the airport. So Tammy & Victor (brother & sister) ended up having other teams catch up to them. Then fog stopped the later flights, which were postponed until the morning, which affected Brad & Victoria.
At the gym, the teams found a Road Block. Only one member of the team would need to learn 3 separate moves in gymnastics: Balancing, Parallel Bars, and some floor exercises. Once they perform all the moves correctly, and in right order, they would get the next clue.
Amanda and Kris were the 1st team to finish (Amanda performed the Road Block). They then received the next clue. Teams needed to travel by train to Brasov, Transylvania, take a taxi to Biserica Neagra, known as the Black Church where they would find their next clue.
Margie and Luke were the 2nd team to finish the gymnastics (the mother did the excersizes). Mel and Mike were the 3rd team to finish, with the son doing the task. Then our winners from last week, Tammy & Victor dropped to 8th place after this task.
The teams were held at the train station until the first departure at 6:30AM. Needless to say, they had a tough night resting on the hard benches!
Next was a Detour, where the teams needed to choose between two things: Gypsy Moves or Vampire Remains. In Gypsy Moves, teams would have to load all of the gypsy families belongings on to a cart. Then navigate the cart to their camp and unload everything before receiving their next clue. In Vampire Remains, teams would drag a heavy coffin down a hill to a clearing, unlock and untangle a series of chains, and open the coffin to reveal antique frames inside. Next, they would smash the frames on to stakes, searching for a flag inside one of them. Once found, they can exchange the flag in for their next clue.
Brad & Victoria were currently in last place due to delay in their flight. But, we also see that Tammy & Victor choose the Vampire Remains task, and got lost on the trail finding the coffin. Despite his sister’s request, Victor kept going in the wrong direction and following the wrong arrows. Victor also refused to listen to Tammy, as he kept saying he was right and she was wrong about this. After getting to the top of the mountain, Victor finally gave in and said “yes” to Tammy, we have to go back to the starting point.
Once these tasks are completed, teams need to make their way by taxi to a mountains cottage, Vila Panoramic. The small inn was the pit stop for this leg of the race.
Amanda & Kris were in first place, until they lost their fanny pack at Gypsy camp and had to go back to find it. They found it where they dropped off the Gypsy stuff. This allowed Mel & Mike to finish as Team number one, and won a trip to Costa Rica. Amanda & Kris finished 2nd, Kish & Jen 3rd, Margie and Luke 4th, Mark and Michael 5th, the blondes Christie and Jodi 6th (moving up from finishing 2nd to last place for the past 2 espisodes), Jaime & Cara 7th place, and Tammy & Victor 2nd to last place place (after winning last week’s show). Brad & Victoria were the last team to arrive and were eliminated.

Yes, love will make anyone do crazy things, and as if it wasn’t enough to conquer the world of Survivor, the unstoppable Rob and Amber entered another stressful competition, The Amazing Race. They came into the competition not just as boyfriend-girlfriend, but as a fiance-fiance, and was strong, conniving and devious enough to finish the race in second place. Despite losing the prize money, they did win a number of prizes for arriving first at several pit stops.
The show is similar to Survivor in the way that people work together to survive in situations that range from extreme physical stunts and tests of endurance to coping with small food and supply rations. The teams are made up of individuals with prior ‘real world’ relationships — including married and dating heterosexual couples, homosexual couples, family units, and friends. During most shows, the minimum age is 21; however one season allowed members as young as 8. Each team is given a finite amount of money and a checkpoint at which all teams need to meet up at their individual accord. The last team to arrive at the destination is eliminated. The race always starts in the US, but sends teams on a scavenger hunt of sorts that winds through remote locations around the globe. Language barriers, weather threats, direction challenges, and dwindling funds threaten to weaken teams and throw off their timing, causing progressive eliminations.
At the end of each leg of the race, there is a mandatory pit stop at which all teams stop to eat, rest and socialize. Most interviews are filmed at this time. In some legs, the first team to arrive wins a vacation or some other prize such as equipment. The last to arrive is eliminated from the duration of the race.
