<< < (8/30) > >>

mswood:
Boarding the train, Racers complain about "Siberian Hell."
Of course it's dark and snowy.
Sleeper cars!
Luke: I've never had an experience like this, having a bed on a train!
Kisha/Jen are tall so their feet hang off.   
DAWN.
They cross a river, possibly the Volga?
Possibly the Irkutsk or Yakutsk? I'm guessing T O T A L L Y!
Gaydad/kid discover that Margie/Luke knocked off Amanda/Kris.
Luke motions "big strong guy" (i.e., Kris)
Tammy/Vic kinda surprised that Margie/Luke laid it down.
Beautiful art deco in the middle of Siberia.
NOVOSIBIRSK.
Teams run from the train in the snowy slush.
Across the town square.
Looking for Taxis.
Jamie/Cara take the early lead.
They ask Margie to follow their cab.
Jamie conf: We were drawn to them right from the start. We've worked together very well.
Vic thanks his driver: Spasyibo!   
Stuntmen almost get run over crossing a street and giggle that it's like a stunt.
Kisha/Jen get a big confessional. Early. With odd music. Rarely a good sign.
Jamie/Cara get one too, but with funsy music instead.
Lots of cabss pass Gaydad/Gaykid's cab. They find it "annoying."

CLUE, Jamie/Cara: DETOUR.
Phil: Between two unavoidable aspects of Siberian life.
Russian Bride: Choose a car with a 4 speed manual transmission, a Lara, search for a waiting bride. Drive her acrosss town to the church where the groom is waiting. Wedding pic for the next clue.
Russian Snowplow: Get selves to this stadium, drive snowplow through a training course for the next clue.

TARAsia Fan:
Victor makes a run for it splitting from Margie & Luke and Cara & Jaime. It's GAME ON!

TARAsia Fan:
It's a race, but don't latch onto teams and then take off when you say you're going to stick together. That could come back to bite my Asian brother and sister.

mswood:
Jamie/Cara and Margie/Luke immediately choose snowplow.
Next up, Tammy/Vic choose to buddy up with them.
Three teams driving cars they have no idea how to drive on icy icy roads. Whee!
That's three teams for the snowplow.
Mel/Mike decide to do the other Detour.
Jamie/Cara, Tammy/Vic stop for gas and directions.
Tammy/Vic ask someone putting gas in car.
He directs them.
Vic leaves without the others.
Margie: Victor what are you doing?
Margie takes off after Vic.
She'll look out for the girls too.
Luke doesn't want Margie to follow Vic.
Tammy/Vic need to ask directions again to the stadium.   
Margie just got directions from someone else.
But Vic leaves her again. "Sorry!" 
Margie translates for Luke, conf: Sneaky. Got directions and took off. We're a little suspicious of them. Game on.

COMMERCIAL.
