TAR 17 Ep 7 " I Want To Be In The Circus, That's Where I Belong!" (Russia)
georgiapeach:
The promo actually says two RACERS, not teams. They could be using the royal "we" to mean one team, or there really could be two teams struggling. :duno:

Here is a Cyrillic language description of this circus. I don't remember seeing any Cyrillic readers in the new Languages thread.
The metro map to get there is: http://www.saint-petersburg.com/images/transport/saint-petersburg-metro-map.gif
Gostiny Dvor is at the intersection of the M2 and M3 lines near the center of this map

It appears that my hypothesis is incorrect. The Avtovo Circus is at Avtovskaya ul 1A Avtovo, metro stop Avtovo, second from the last to the south on line M1 (see above Metro map). A map of that is here: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/st-petersburg/entertainment-nightlife/circus/circus-in-avtovo
The St. Petersburg State circus has a huge performance space. The tent I see in the above photos of the Avtovo Circus is not going to hold 2345 people.

I thought someone had seen the word Avtovo in one of the caps.

ON "THE AMAZING RACE," SUNDAY, NOV. 7
"I Want To Be In The Circus, That's Where I Belong" (Russia) — Teams are clowning around when they learn a traditional Russian circus act, but it's no joke when multiple teams make a critical error and misread a clue, jeopardizing their positions in the Race, on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, Nov. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is host.

THE AMAZING RACE-In a final showdown to avoid elimination, two racers struggle to master a traditional Russian lawn game. Phil Keoghan hosts.

I think to many people are doing like the racers.....not reading the clues, plenty of information there.
Remember from that movie, St Petersburg is famous for its "White Nights." I think Phil filmed his gorodki footage at "night."(no shadows)
Thanks to Peach, WP and thanks to Slowhatch and apskip for the circus info.
Prophet:
I think the white nights theory is correct, but I am not sure how it helps to know when he is filming those.
Anyway I agree with peach that the statement about two racers may just mean that Mike and Kevin struggle with that task. The reason being that I don't think Gary will struggle with it and we know none of the other teams are eliminated here. (Unless the Chad/Stephanie sighting in Oman is false, because otherwise I could see them losing this one)
I think the eliminated team will be one of the ones who misreads a clue and "jeopardizes their position in the race." According to the timeline that should be G/M and they have already had some trouble finding things.
