This leg showed no SpeedBump at all, so someone at World Race Productions may have forgotten to put one in. How is this possible from a fairness point of view. Now, due to the penalties of Michael/Kevin and Brook/Claire, Nick/Vicky would not have been eliminated by doing a task taking approximately 30 minutes. However, there's something rotten in Denmark( Or was it St. Petersburg?).

It's Michael & Kevin and Chad & Stephanie. And yeah, was there a speed bump? (I haven't watched the episode yet, football overruns suck)
AmazingRace:
I think Nick & Vicki did their Speedbump. The reason why they probably did'nt mention that there will be a Speedbump in Episode 6, could be because they planned to edit out the Speedbump task in this episode, as it was probably something insignificant(i.e Took less than 15 minutes to complete) and did not affect their placement anyways. :duno:

If so then N/K, N/V, M/K and B/C would finish the detour before the the others. This theory is supported by the fact that Jill and Thomas switch on the Detour tasks. This would also make it possible for C/S to be eliminated because Micheal will take a long time at the RB allowing C/S to catch up but she will not overtake him.
Here is my speculated order to the leg:
1. Detour; N/K, N/V, M/K and B/C have no trouble :yess:
2. Probably picking up several clues before getting to the RB :yess:
3. Those four arrive at about the same time at the RB :duno:
4. All but M/K finish and leave to check in to the PS :yess:
5. G/M, C/S and J/T arrive at the RB ;)
6. G/M and J/T finish the RB leaving "two racers to battle it out" :groan:
7. Chad and Stephanie are eliminated and M/K slide several spots to sixth. :groan:

Well at least I was close. :'(
Slowhatch:
Fwiw, the Bank bridge is on the left and 1 Vladimirskiy prospekt is on the right.
Nat/Kat's taxi driver must have been a patient fellow, waiting all that time with their bags.
Also, the price of the Jumba taxi, even though he stayed with them from beginning to end (below), does seem excessive. (they just kept getting in and never bothered to check the meter/bargain/ask?)

May be true, but remember Michael and Kevin's speed bump in the Arctic? it was LITERALLY a 15 min wait and still, they made it from last place to first so those things can't be ignored... it looks fishy to me.
