The worst part of my job eliminating teams, nice thing is no team leaves without a life changing experience!

I wish #teampink stayed.

Next week on The Amazing Race... Azerbaijan!

Teams go through fire, water....

Vanessa is in a contraption under water. Ralph watches (helplessly).

And a day at the spa.

Bopper & Mark, Brenchel and Art & JJ are cleaning up/shaving a guy taking a disgusting oil bath?

Thank the heavens that Nary & Jamie survived! :whew

Kerri & Stacy were never my favourites, but their personalities will be missed! :(

Another great leg this season. Very well planned and creative tasks the leg seemed full of great scenes locations and tasks. I love the constant order changes! Davchel surviving the extra tour and making 4th <3333.

Quite an unconventional location for a Pit Stop! But I loved it! Brendon falling was epic!!! :lol3:

It really fits with the awesome and eclectic feel to the leg. This another leg you should show someone who never watches the show. You guys should remember this leg for design challenges!

My favourite leg so far... Scenery was amazing. I just didn't like that Art & JJ were too far ahead. :lol: But the position switching between the other teams was nice. :tup:

For me, I didn't find this leg to be perfect, but it was still very, very good. I did love the Roadblock - one of the most creative ways to showcase the Gnome, aside from the TAR18 chocolate gnome. :tup:

Not a big fan of the Detour, myself. It was really funny to watch, but not particularly difficult, in my opinion.

The Speed Bump was well above average! :yess:

A very good leg, but not quite as good as the last two weeks, in my opinion. :tup:

Watching the fall, so many memories of the 1st. Pit Stop of the third season of TARLA came back... :lol:

Can I say I enjoyed this episode except for Art and JJ winning again  :gaah:. There was kind of an inkling that Kerri and Stacey would probably go by getting lost especially at the beginning of the episode. BTW who got to eat those gingerbread houses they looked yummy. Phil tweeted the art department had to keep an eye on the gingerbread so the crew wouldn't eat it.  :lol3:

Okay, with the exception that Art and JJ won again (which they completely deserved!), this leg had really cool tasks (Detour! Castles) and of course, a weird pit-stop location!

I think Kerri and Stacey deserved to get eliminated. You can't go onto the race without knowing how to navigate! Glad the "teachers" stayed, and it sucks that they nearly got eliminated because of an easy Roadblock too! Thank God it didn't happen!

another solid episode of TAR20, i have a feeling producers have been peeking at RFF to see what the fans have thought about past episodes because this season they are REALLY stepping it up  :hoot:

there were minor transport equalisers, and only 3 teams were equalised because of the restaurant's HOO

the detour was lots of fun, and each option was equally challenging, which is better than having a lame detour  :tup:

SPEED BUMP was SO FUNNY! speed bumps have been  :groan: in the latest seasons but this one wasn't too bad  :)

roadblock was simple yet effective, a better way of advertising the Travekocity Roaming Gnome

now add ALL of this with the changing positions and

AWESOME EPISODE  :wohoo: :conf:

This season is fantastic. And almost satisfying results. I wish Art & JJ would stop making first places already like Andy & Tommy (tho I love my Andy & Tommy).

Vanessa melting down  :hearts:

Pitstop is unusually cute. Love how the camera goes when they open the door. And the cows look at you :lol:

Huh? Check out the information on trains from Torino to Innsbruck and Innsbruck to Ehrwald. All teams except Art/JJ were equalized starting from a 6 hour 19 minutes range of pit stop releases. I don't call that minor transport equalizers. That is big time!

It's time again to watch our very own Kaylani* review and video-chat about last night's episode.  Also likely to be online is Louie of season 16 who still gives me a hard time for shooting him at SFO   :lol:.  You can try to submit questions.  There is a streaming chat going on.

It's tonight at 6:00 pm Pacific Time at RTVzone.com
