Previously on The Amazing Race…

6 teams raced from Istanbul to Moscow. Abbie & Ryan and Josh & Brent missed their connection and they decided to race the leg together. Nadiya & Natalie had trouble during the synchronized swimming detour, but were convinced to not use their Express Pass. Trey & Lexi won another leg and Josh & Brent had trouble at the detour. James & Abba lost their bags and passport.

“Will Josh & Brent get in sync and can James & Abba find their missing passports and stay in the race?”

Oh, finally!  :hello2: :hello2:

We find the leg is finally over, but it's a Non-Elimination. James & Abba still don't have a passport. The Geekmans have a four hour penalty.

And the race continues in Russia.

And we’re back. “James & Abba, I need to know whether you have your passports to check into the mat.” Phil tells them to go find their passports.

Back at the swimming pool, Josh & Brent are told that the swimming pool is closing. They have one more chance. Abbie & Ryan are still watching. Josh & Brent were close to finishing, but Brent missed the last turn. They get their clue, but they have to take a 4-hour penalty. They’re still going to work together. Josh & Brent know that they’re doomed.

James & Abba are talking to the police about their passports.

Abbie & Ryan and Josh & Brent start at the detour. It’s really dark and they have headlights on. Abbie is having trouble unlocking the keys. Josh & Brent are done the roadblock. Josh & Brent see Abbie really struggling so they help Abbie. They both finish the roadblock together.

James & Abba contacted the US Embassy about getting a new passport. “Let’s go say goodbye to Phil.”

Abbie & Ryan and Josh & Brent both step onto the pit stop together. Phil tells them that there’s still a team struggling. Abbie & Ryan are team #4. Josh & Brent are team #5. They’ll have a penalty for the next leg.

James & Abba are back at the pit stop. They still haven’t found their passports. They are the last team to arrive… but it’s a non-elimination leg? What. They’re still in the race…? They still need their passport or else they’ll be eliminated. They will have a speedbump. They can still continue, but they will need their passport for the next leg.

Trey & Lexi are the first to depart. No time? Make your way to the study building #6 Agricultural Academy. There they will find their next clue. Trey & Lexi’s taxi driver drops them off at a really shady place with broken beer bottles… Trey & Lexi comment on their interesting taxi driver.

Jaymes & James are the 2nd to depart. They want to remain near the top.

Trey & Lexi's cab driver takes them to the wrong place. Their window was open and a car passing by soaked them. :lol:

Jaymes & James arrived the first at the Agricultural Academy. They think the sign says Beyonce at 8. Their taxi driver waits with them :lol: They say they never get to anywhere first.

Trey & Lexi end up going to a hotel to try to find out where they're going... I'd switch cab drivers. :lol: They finally arrive at the building and they find out it's a HOO.

The doors open. Speedbump for James & Abba. Jaymes & James and Trey & Lexi are surprised.

Roadblock. "Who's in the zone?" Teams will be shown Russia's different time zones and a Russian time zone. Then they will have to figure out the time in 5 Russian cities.

Moscow time: 2:15. Before they figure it out, the map goes black. Jaymes and Lexi are working together.

omg the instructor dude is hilarious. :lol: "PENCILS DOWN." :lol3:

"It's not correct." Jaymes and Lexi are trying again. The time in Moscow is 4:00. And now they're madly writing down times. Lexi says it's back to college when she's not prepared for a quiz.

They're on test #6. Jaymes: "DON'T YOU SAY PENCILS DOWN."

"PENCILS DOWN."

 :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: I love this guy.

Nadiya & Natalie are the 3rd to depart. They have to use their Express Pass today.

Test #11... "This is not correct. Try again."

Lexi figures out Moscow is +4. Lexi figures out +6 means +2. The map time is in UTC. Lexi: "We're dumb." :lol:

omg this instructor dude is the best. They both finish the roadblock.

Detour: Movers & Shakers

Movers: Team swill have to learn and perform a Russian soldier dance. They will choose a soldier and they will have to learn the dance and perform it.

Shakers: Figure out 7 historical leader look-alikes at a party for each of the 7 historical leaders on a list.

Jaymes & James' driver is having breakfast and they want to hurry up. Trey & Lexi don't have a cab. Jaymes & James get Trey & Lexi a driver. :hrt: :hrt: :hrt: Jaymes & James are great. Lexi loves Jaymes & James.

Natalie & Nadiya want to make sure their taxi driver knows where they're going. He wants to stop at McDonalds? Natalie & Nadiya question the taxi driver's abilities. Taxi driver: "I taxi thirty-seven years!" :lol3: And then Natalie or Nadiya calls their taxi driver fat so that's why they should not go to McDonalds.

Trey & Lexi and Jaymes & James are both doing the soldier dance. James sprained his ankle in Shanghai. He's struggling with this because he has to be using his ankle a lot. Jaymes & James don't want to switch detour. This routine is pretty intense. Trey & Lexi noticed that he's in pain. James is sweating a lot.

And we're back.

James' ankle is giving him trouble. Jaymes & James decide to just go for a try to not hurt James' ankle any more. Their routine does not get approved. Trey & Lexi go try the routine. Trey had trouble with the routine and it doesn't get approved either.

Natalie & Nadiya arrive at the roadblock now. They begin reading their clue... "We're both like 'HELL NO.'" :lol3: They use their Express Pass.

Jaymes & James get their routine approved! James' ankle is killing him. Pit stop: Sokolniki Park. The last team to check in may be eliminated. Jaymes & James say they need to get first for James' effort. They start changing (lol people are probably liking that). :lol:

Trey & Lexi get their routine approved right after. Jaymes & James leave to the pit stop and they want to get Trey & Lexi a taxi. THEY ARE SO NICE. My goodness. Except Trey & Lexi walk away so Jaymes & James can't get a cab for them. Jaymes & James leave. Natalie & Nadiya arrive and Trey & Lexi want to take their cab. Trey & Lexi end up getting another cab to the pit stop.

Natalie & Nadiya begin doing the detour and one of their pants rips at the butt. The camera man zoomes in. :lol: She switches pants.

James & Abba still will continue. Josh & Brent need to wait out their penalty. Ryan & Abbie depart in 4th.

Natalie & Nadiya's soldier dance routine gets approved. They're out of the detour in 3rd. They're off to the pit stop. They see a guy in a Darth Vader-like outfit walking on the street. They think he's drunk.

Ryan & Abbie arrive at the roadblock. Ryan does the roadblock. He thinks they'll be in and out of the roadblock in minutes. Abbie says he's got good memorization. Ryan thinks he's got this. He starts walking... and then the instructor tells him it's not correct. Ryan is surprised. :lol3: "I was right..."

She's completely right. Ryan is having so much trouble. He realizes the +4 bit, but he thinks there's something wrong with the map. :lol: Commercial.

"I've always been a straight A student." The instructor says Josh is smart.

James & Abba's translator wishes them luck. James & Abba just keep going on with the race.

James & Abba do their speedbump... and then it flashes forward to the pit stop. Phil asks about their passport situation. They only have one. They're the last team to arrive... And then they've both been eliminated. Nice montage of their time. Sucks that they had to be eliminated because of a missing passport.

Pit stop:
1st - Jaymes & James
2nd - Trey & Lexi
3rd - Natalie & Nadiya
4th - Abbie & Ryan
5th - Josh & Brent
6th - James & Abba (ELIMINATED)

this episode made me have so much respect for the amazing race.
For TV values, they could've eliminated James and Abba since they had no chance anyway
but they really respected the racers by letting them race one more leg and enjoy it.

Both of these legs in Moscow were the best of all of the Moscow legs over the years, and the leg tonight was made up of win all over.

The brain teaser of the roadblock would have stumped most people (I'm a time zone nerd, so I would have had no problems with it.) But at least Jamyes, Lexi and Ryan caught on and got it done. It's been a while since they've had a real brain teaser of a mental task like this, and it's good to see it appear.

The tasks weren't bad and there were some funny moments, however the placings hardly altered and there was no suspense as to who would finish last and be eliminated.

Not sure why the rockers got a speedbump as they did complete the tasks in the previous leg, not that it mattered anyway in the end.  And I expected the penalty for the farmers to be added at the end of the previous leg like I think it has been done in the past.

Can you stop being such a cynical. By the way, a speed bump is the penalty they got for finishing last on the previously leg, this is not a KRL or double leg.

Oh yeh I forgot about the NEL, the way it was spread beyond one leg made me forget I suppose.  No need to call me names either. 

This leg didn't have that much suspense beyond whether they got their passport.  And going out losing a passport isn't the best type of elimination.  In some ways I like it when teams are spread out without artificial bunching but the whole passport thing meant there was no competition and the farmers knew it only too well saying they would just have fun.

Also didn't Phil ensure they finished last in the first of the two legs by not telling them it was a non-elimination when they were first at the mat and forcing them to go back to look for the passport?  This meant they had to look for it 2 legs in a row and gave them even less chance of surviving even if they had found it, and gave them a speed bump as well.

I just want to comment that this is one of the most happy Final 5 that I've seen in a long long time... I love the Chippendales for their friendliness and helpfulness.

I like Trey and Lexi for their cheerfulness.

I like Nadiya and Natalie for their random outburst of competitiveness. Although they may be really ugly/rude at times, at least you can't deny they are an entertaining teams.

Ryan and Abbie won me over completely the last 2 legs.

Josh and Brent... what a nice team, always so appreciative and completely nice/positive as well.

I think if we have a next Allstars, we might be seeing MANY teams from this season (TAR 14ish)

I know! I'm sick and tired of complete this, do this, do that. It has been a while since we last saw brain teasers on TAR! I think the last one was TAR 15? Globetrotters had to solve FRANZ?? But that wasn't even a brainteaser, more like word formation.

This is a witty task!!

I don't think the cast has been that good.  Of those left the twins can be annoying and Ryan can sound an idiot but they are probably the biggest character teams now.  Overall this race has been more about taxis than about racers.

The professor was funny at first but it went on a bit.  And I think it was obvious who he acting up on the instructions of the producers.

The tasks have been improving a bit recently in this season, as I said before.

Okay, so for you, you prefer the professor to just say "Here's your next clue" calmly, then you will say that this leg is freaking boring and that the task master was not even good at his job.

Then if the twins are boring and Ryan extremely nice, then the entire cast are boring and not memorable and this season sucks.

I like how you are thinking always. :lol3:

I never said I wanted the professor just to be normal, it's just that it got a bit repetitive with him shouting out.  I'm probably not one of those who finds that when a joke gets repeated a lot of times it continues being funny.

Abi and Ryan have been one of the more interesting teams even if they are cast as baddies.  The co-operation with the farmers while at the back of the pack was peculiar to say the least though, it is a race and they were shown as competitive people before then.  The twins have certainly had their moments but the editing prior to the recently probably showed too much of their loud side.  But overall I think most of the teams from this season will be forgotten.

Well... they do not really have a good edit in the first few episodes, but that's because the producers are trying to put them in a bad light because of obvious reasons. (Think MoJo VS Hippies)

If they are truly bad people, they won't have any nice side of them to be shown.. which we have seen extensively in the last 2 episodes. <3

Ryan had definitely been shown in a bad light (comments on locations, on other teams, on his own 'brilliance'), and other teams have made negative comments about them.  I normally find arrogance quite annoying on the show so Ryan does bring them down a bit.  So in the context of the show I think they have been baddies, alongside the twins after their taking of the money recently.  Ryan was still very arrogant at the time zone task.  I don't mind them though, they have helped spice up this season, though not as well as Art and JJ did last season.
