- [Phil] Previously on "The Amazing Race"
eight teams raced from Bran, Romania to Kasnoyarsk, Siberia.
At the Detour, brothers Mark & Michael met with disaster.
- Oh Mike, are you kidding me?
- While Christie & Jodi- - Come on Christie.
- And Kisha & Jen- - Last piece.
- [Phil] Surged ahead.
- Thank you.
- We did the best?
Ah. - Thank you.
- But it was the flight attendants
who pulled out their first win.
You are team number one.
- [screams] No way.
[Bystanders cheer and applaud]
- Can we go faster?
- Just go fast.
- [Phil] Targeting Amanda and Kris is a thr*at.
- Kris and Amanda just passed us.
If it comes down to a foot race,
I think Amanda and Kris would win hands down.
- [Phil] Margie and Luke hit them with a new twist,
a blind U-turn. - Are you freaking me?
Shady. - Shady, shady.
- [Phil] That forced them to repeat the stacking detour.
- What conniving people.
We've be nothing but so nice to everyone.
- I know it's stupid.
- Doh.
- [Phil] Luke struggled at the roadblock.
- I don't know.
- You have to do it.
Keep trying.
[dramatic music]
- [Phil] But eventually prevailed.
- Yay, yay!
- In the end Amanda and Kris
couldn't make up the time and finished last.
Amanda and Kris I'm sorry to tell you,
you have been eliminated from the race.
[Amanda sighs]
Coming up tonight, Tammy and Victor ditch their friends.
- Let's just go.
- No Victor, what are you doing?
[horn honking]
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Sorry. - And cause an uproar.
- We thought he would wait and he didn't wait.
- They'll follow you until
they can find something on their own
and then they'll ditch you.
- Can't trust Victor I don't think anymore.
Game on.
[dramatic music]
[adventurous music]
[dramatic music]
- This is Krasnoyarsk, Russia,
home to over a million people
and one of the most important industrial centers of Siberia.
And in the heart of this booming city,
the Theater of Musical Comedy.
This theater founded by Russian actors
during World w*r II has been instrumental
in the cultural develop of this long isolated city
and was the fourth pit stop in a race around the world.
Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg
for a mandatory rest period.
The seven teams waiting here
have no idea what's in store for them.
Christie and Jodi who were the first to arrive
will depart at : p.m.
- Please be warm.
Ride the Trans-Siberian railway
to Novo- - Doesn't sound warm.
- [Phil] Teams must now ride the Trans-Siberian railroad
across nearly miles of frozen tundra
to the city of Novosibirsk.
Once there, they must race to
the Punkt Tehnicheskogo Osmotra
where they will find their next clue.
- Okay, let's go find the train.
Is this warm?
- Anytime it has that many consonants in it,
it is not warm.
Our biggest strength is the fact that
we do work together on a daily basis on the plane.
And everyone else, they may not have to work together.
- And if anyone thinks this isn't work, they're wrong.
It's definitely not a vacation.
The race is work.
The train station is Krasnoyarsk,
it's called Central Railroad Station.
Make your way there on foot.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Go girl.
- Ride the Trans-Siberian Railway to Novosibirsk.
- Let's go.
Kisha and I are quicker than all of these teams here,
so we wanna stay with the pack.
That's our strategy, stay with the pack
because if we have a team
at least in our eye sight
and it comes down to a foot race,
we have a sh*t of b*ating them.
- [Kisha] Gonna ask somebody where choo choo train is?
- [Jen] How about we follow them.
- [Kisha] How do we know they're goin' the right way?
I ain't tryin' to walk around Russia.
- [Jen] But why not, it's beautiful.
- Beautiful my ass.
- [Jen] Hey girls wait up.
- [Kisha] I want out this snow, it's cold.
- [Jodi] Look, guys there's the station.
- [Christie] Let's go in the main building.
- Hello. - Can we have two
train tickets to Novosibirsk.
- Sure okay, thank you. - You're welcome.
- So what time does this train leave.
- Your travel will be on :.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Oh we leave at : PM.
All the teams will on the same train.
- [Kisha] So we have about hours until we leave.
[dramatic music]
[train horn blaring]
[dramatic music]
- [Mel] If there was only one train
to where we're going today that would be a leveler.
- Let the last become first
and let the first become last.
- He's quoting the Bible, thank God.
It's a miracle.
- Holy moly. - You know it's cold out here.
- Whoa, oh, oh. - I'm so over
this cold weather. - It's like Siberian Hell.
- Oh my gosh let's get on. - Oh my God,
they're sleeper cars.
- It's warm in here. - Nice.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- We're just starting now.
No, I've never had an experience like this before,
sleeping on a train, having a bed.
That's pretty cool.
[upbeat music]
- I just love when my feet
hang off the bed I sleep in.
[upbeat music]
[Kisha and Jen laugh]
I just better not sit up fast
in the middle of the night, or it's over.
[upbeat music]
[dramatic music]
- I'm really surprised how well we slept.
I think the train kinda just lulls you to sleep.
- [Mike] I slept like crap, in case anyone cares.
Thanks, Luke.
That's real compassionate. - I know. [laughs]
- At first I didn't think that Luke and Margie
would be around for long.
But then they got rid of Kris and Amanda.
- [Margie] Kris and Amanda, we're sorry,
it's part of the game.
- And now I realize, they're the power players here.
He's gonna create a whole archetype,
the sinister deaf kid.
[Margie laughs]
I saw you jumping up and down
when Kris and Amanda were booted from the race.
[upbeat music]
I'll just keep limping so he doesn't U-Turn me.
[Margie laughs]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- [Victor] I think allegiances
have already started falling away.
- [Tammy] Margie and Luke laid down the blind U-Turn.
- [Victor] Every team knows that they have to
fight for themselves.
And then once we get off the train
it's gonna be mad dash. - Mad dash.
- And get our next clue.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic adventurous music]
- [Jen] Kisha.
[dramatic adventurous music]
Let's go. - Okay.
[dramatic adventurous music]
Come on, this way come on.
- All right, here we go. - Come on, come on this way.
- [Kisha] Turn left, turn left.
- Turn right, take a right on- - No, no, no, no.
- [Margie] Go right, right.
- [Jen] Kisha, everybody's running that direction,
just so you know.
- Jen, I tryin' to get a taxi,
I seen a taxi right there. - That's leaving.
Oh, let's go this way, this way, come on.
- Taxi, Punk Tehnicheskogo Osmotra.
You know. - Yes.
- Okay.
Very fast. - Very fast.
- [Cara] Very, very fast.
- Punk Tehnicheskogo.
- Luke. - Luke and Margie.
- Stop.
[dramatic music]
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
[horn honking]
Tell him to follow him.
- Follow them. - You need to follow them.
- Okay. - Okay, good.
Cara and I had been draw to Margie and Luke
right from the start.
We just have felt an instant connection with them.
- [Cara] We really have worked together very well.
[dramatic music]
- This way dad.
Punk Tehnicheskogo, take us.
- Yes. - Yes.
So the game is on.
- Taxi. - Taxi.
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Tammy] We're on our way.
[speaking in foreign language]
- That's it. - Quick, quick, quick.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Taxi. - Hey.
[dramatic adventurous music]
[horns honking]
- Being stuntmen, we do know how to
get hit by cars. [laughs]
- [Kisha] Hey, Jen right across the street.
We need to go to their please.
Thank you.
All the other teams are ahead of us right now.
- I'm extremely frustrated because our strategy
should definitely be to follow the pack.
But Kisha did not go in the direction
of where everybody is going.
I just don't understand that.
[dramatic adventurous music]
[upbeat music]
- Ah smoke.
Always a good time.
I like how he has time to smoke a cigarette
while we're in a race.
Maybe that's his way of dealing with me
screaming at him in English,
with this smile on my face.
Yay. - Thank you.
[upbeat music]
[dramatic adventurous music]
- [Victor] Taxi, right there in front of us.
[dramatic adventurous music]
Pull in front, perfect.
Let's see who it is. - Oh it's Mel and Mike.
- [Mike] Dad it's Tammy and Victor.
Follow that cab. - That cab's going.
- [Mike] Straight ahead, straight ahead.
This is getting annoying.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- I see it. - Right there,
there's the box. - Okay.
- Yeah, yeah. - Yep, yep, yay!
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Mama, clue box. - It's slippery, be careful.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Detour.
- In this detour, teams have to choose
between two unavoidable aspects of Siberian life.
Their choice: Russian bride or Russian snow plow.
In Russian bride, teams choose a car
with a four speed manual transmission known as a Lada,
find this large Soviet era apartment complex
and search for one of the waiting brides.
Once found, teams must figure out how to drive her
across town to this church where her groom is waiting.
When the photographer snaps their wedding picture,
the groom will hand over their next clue.
In Russian snowplow, teams choose a Lada
and drive themselves downtown to this stadium.
Then they must each take a turn
operating one of these cumbersome snowplows
through a training course to receive their next clue.
- What do you think?
- Push.
- Snowplows.
- I felt like snowplow would be faster and easier.
To find bride, too many steps.
We didn't wanna do that.
- Luke you need to drive yourself.
- Over here. - Yeah.
- [Margie] All right, let's do it.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Check the gas. - All right,
we choose this one.
- [Tammy] The clue box.
- Good, good, good, good.
So what do you wanna do? - I don't know.
Jaime, Margie, which one are you guys gonna do?
I wouldn't say that Victor and I have an alliance
with any of the teams.
When we can work together, we try to.
- We're doing the snowplow. - So we're gonna
go with you guys. - Let's do snowplow with them.
- Okay. - Another team, perfect.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Detour.
Let's go do the bride one.
You drive, I'll do the directions.
I tend to choose the detours
based on what seems more fun.
I'd rather party with virgin brides than snowplows.
- Let's go, we gotta go.
[car door slams]
- [Margie] We have no idea
where we're going. - We've gotta figure out
how to get there.
- We just find Stadium Spartak.
- Maybe you can follow them. - Go, go, go.
[car engine revving]
- [Victor] Whoops.
- Whoa Victor. - That was ice.
And clearly we have no idea how to drive in Russia.
- I have no complaints,
'cause he a whole lot better at
driving stick than I am. - Sorry.
- [Tammy] We don't tend to break the Asian stereotypes
very often, sadly. [laughs]
[dramatic adventurous music]
- [Cara] Does that look like a gas station.
- Yeah and we're gonna need to ask.
- [Luke] Mom, mom, gas station.
- [Margie] There's a gas station.
- [Tammy] They're going to the gas station.
- [Victor] Oh there's a cab driver right there.
Let's just ask this guy right here.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- We're just gonna follow you. - Okay.
Excuse me, I need to get to Stadium Spartak.
- Spartak? - How do I get there?
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Stadium Spartak.
[speaking in foreign language]
All the way? - Okay.
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Cara] Do you know this place?
You don't know. - Hey.
- [Victor] Let's just go.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- [Margie] No Victor, what are you doing?
- [Victor] What is called again, Stadium-
- [Tammy] Stadium Spartak.
- Don't go.
- You watch for the girls, I'll watch for Victor.
- Victor knows the way to go,
but he just took off and left us.
- [Jaime] Cara, what do you think, straight still?
- [Cara] Yeah, I'm so aggravated
with Victor and Tammy right now.
- They'll follow you until they can find
something on their own, then they'll ditch you.
- 'Cause he said right, so I'm gonna go right.
- [Tammy] Well we can always ask again.
- Yeah.
- [Margie] We're following Tammy and Victor.
The girls, I don't know where they are.
Is he stopping again?
- [Victor] Do you wanna ask them?
- Who? - Anyone walking by.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Excuse me, do you know Stadium Spartak?
- Excuse me do you know where Stadium Spartak?
[speaking in foreign language].
Straight.
- [Victor] Tammy, she's telling Margie that way.
- Who did? - That lady behind us.
- Okay. - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[horn honking]
Wait, wait.
- Sorry.
[dramatic adventurous music]
[Luke groans]
- [Margie] They're sneaky.
He got directions and he took off.
He tried to lose us, I was really surprised.
We thought he would wait and he didn't wait.
Now Victor and Tammy, we're a little suspicious.
Not sure we wanna work with them.
Game on.
[dramatic adventurous music]
[Luke groans]
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[horn honking]
Wait, wait.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Sorry.
- Thank you so much.
Can't trust Victor I don't think any more.
Game on.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic upbeat music]
- It must be right here. - That it?
- Let's go ask.
Tex, that's it right there.
Detour. - Blushing bride.
That sounds easier.
Let's get in the car before everyone else comes.
- Imagine having to drive in this town.
- Forget it. - Whoa.
- I wouldn't wanna drive in this town.
- Is this it? - We'll find out.
- Uh oh, there's the guys.
[dramatic adventurous music]
[contestant cheers]
- We're gonna do snowplow. - All right,
let's rock and roll.
- We have to hurry, there's only two cars left.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- All right, let's rock and roll.
- Uh oh.
- Push the seat up for me Mike.
The dashboard's over my head.
- I'm working- - There we go, I got it.
- There's only two cars left. - Damn, damn, damn.
- Come on Mark. - There we go, okay.
- Oh we gotta hurry up. - It's is a great little car.
- This is all mini made. - Good little cars.
- Russian bride. - Okay, let's go.
[car engine sputtering]
- Jen put your foot on the-
- It is on the clutch. - And the brake.
Then put it in first. - Yeah that's what I'm doing.
I'm staying in first gear.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- It's one of these big buildings I'll bet ya.
- [Mike] Yeah, Komsomolskaya.
So we have to find building number four.
Oh my gosh, we gotta find this.
This place is insane. - It's huge.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- This way? - I don't even know
where you're doing.
I mean, I- - It's this next one.
- It's the corner? - Building four,
building four.
Here we go dad, up here. - In here?
Dad, we're gonna find this woman.
[adventurous music]
Do you see flowers?
- Right here. - Oh I see.
It's up here.
[Mike knocks on door]
- Nobody is here. - So let's go up one.
- [Mel] Okay.
[Mel knocks on door]
- [Mike] Hello, can you come with us?
- Yeah. - Thank you.
Here are your flowers.
[speaking in foreign language]
Oh, this is great.
Have to go this way.
You look very pretty. - Thank you.
[Mike laughs]
- [Mike] Let's go, let's go.
- Good boy.
You're so beautiful.
- I know, wouldn't you rather have her than a snowplow?
[dramatic music]
- Oh crap, of course I just stalled again.
It is really hard
to drive a stick. - Just keep it going.
You are doing great.
- [Victor] It is hard because we are driving stick in snow.
- There's a lot of traffic up here now.
That's Victor and Tammy.
There they are.
- Ha, ha, can't shake us, try as you might.
- Just go Jai. - Oh, my God.
Victor and Tammy are right up there.
Okay, they're turning.
[dramatic upbeat music]
- Are those stadium lights straight ahead?
- [Cara] Yeah that looks like stadium lights.
Victor and Tammy are still behind us.
- [Victor] That's Stadium Spartak.
Oh, Margie and Luke are right behind us.
- There's it, it's it, right there.
- Boom, boom. - Go, go, go, go.
- [Victor] Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Good job, Tammy, it is right down here.
- [Tammy] Yeah, okay.
- It says to choose a snowplow.
- [Cara] Which one, Jaime?
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- [Jaime] Read the clue Cara.
- Can we go with you?
- They don't speak any English whatsoever.
- Well the snowplow, is this a snowplow?
You don't know?
- Read. - I did read it!
- Is that a snowplow there back there?
Go there, Victor.
- [Victor] Can you teach us?
Yes, yay!
- We each have to drive one length in the same lane
and then after driving our length
we must turn the snowplow around.
[upbeat adventurous music]
- That way? - I don't know
what I am doing, but he said to signal.
I hope Victor does great
driving the snowplow.
I am more worried about how I will drive the snowplow
because I am a worse driver than he is.
A Mercedes Benz would be the biggest vehicle I've operated,
so this will be amusing. [laughs]
- I cannot believe we get to drive snowplows!
This is fun!
- This is a snowplow. - Can you help us?
They don't understand English!
- I don't understand this.
Why is it everyone we asks say no.
Tammy, are they saying yes?
- Yeah, get in there. - This is ridiculous.
- Wrong, wrong, it's over there.
- We do that one? - Okay, let's go.
[dramatic music]
- Now we are just trying to find the church.
Let's ask somebody.
[speaking in foreign language]
Geeze, the directions are rather complicated.
This way and this way and this.
Okay, thank you. - Thank you.
[Christie groans]
- You want to stop and show that to somebody?
This is like a market.
- Can we ask you? - They're all drunk.
- How do we get there? - Do that.
[locals laughing]
- We had an interesting encounter with locals.
The language barrier was tough
and they reeked of vodka.
- I don't believe him.
Do you see them laughing?
- Yes. - They're sending us
way out of the way.
Jodi. - What?
- Let's just go.
- [Jodi] God, they were wasted
and they had disgusting teeth.
- Ugh, that guy touched my butt
and asked me my name. - Ew. [laughs]
[dramatic music]
- So Mike, are we both gonna be driving snowplows?
This is a detour. We're both gonna be
driving snowplows.
- Wow. - I have driven big trucks
and Mark's driven big trucks. - I love to drive.
- I've got a bride.
Brides are always more technical no matter what.
I don't need to go find another one.
I will go deal with the snowplow. [laughs]
- One's enough.
I'd rather go snowplow than find another bride.
[Mike laughs]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- [Tammy] Victor, to here.
- [Victor] Oh please turn.
Please turn, please turn.
- Oh good.
Victor did a great job and I hope I am ready for this.
- It is easy.
She is a little scared of the stick
but I think she will be okay.
[upbeat adventurous music]
That way, that way, that way.
I'm trying to tell her how to turn a little bit.
I think we're further along than most right now,
so, we're good.
[upbeat adventurous music]
Fast, Jaime, fast.
You're almost there.
Jaime's the driver.
I can drive usually as long as there's no
manual transmission involved. [laughs]
- [Jaime] This way?
Like this?
She's doing great.
- I'm done? - Yes.
- Oh, okay.
- Was it easy?
- It's very large machinery.
You can do it!
- [Cara] If I can get into it.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Mom.
[upbeat adventurous music]
Hey, hey.
[upbeat adventurous music]
- Mom was driving crooked
and I was telling her to turn
and she wasn't paying attention.
[Margie yells] [upbeat adventurous music]
- Right there.
Stop.
My mom, my turn.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- We are looking for building four, entrance .
- [Jen] There is building four.
Yeah, let's go.
- [Kisha] Okay, this is it.
Is the flower stand in there? - Yes.
- Okay, let's try this one.
[Doorbell buzzes]
- Hello. - Hello.
- Oh, there's a car with our label on it.
Go in, go in, ow. - Thank God.
- [Christie] There's another team.
- You just now getting here? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Come on. - Oh there's a
whole bunch of flowers.
[Christie knocks on door]
[Christie cheers] - Hi, hello.
For you.
Okay, let's move it. - Let's get out of here
before anyone else finds us.
- We look so dressed for a wedding.
Sorry about our dress.
If we really came to your wedding, we would look nicer.
- And go all the way!
Good job.
You're finishing first, so this is good.
- Okay. - We did it!
- Yay! - Thank you.
- Drive to Gosudarstvennaya Publichnaya
Nauchnaya Tekhnicheskaya Biblioteka.
- [Phil] Teams must now drive themselves
to the largest library in Siberia, Gosudarstvennaya
Publichnaya Nauchnaya Tekhnicheskaya Biblioteka
where they'll search for their next clue.
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Victor] The snowplows were fun.
- [Tammy] Biblioteka sounds like a library.
- [Victor] Yeah.
She's never driven a stick shift
and it's got a clutch and everything
so she's doing really good.
- Turn? - Yeah.
[dramatic music]
- [Margie] This way.
Go Luke!
- Turn?
[dramatic music]
[Jaime imitates alarm]
Bring her home.
[dramatic music]
- Stop, stop, stop, stop.
- Yes, good, thank you.
- [Jaime and Cara] Drive to-
- Biblioteka and search for your next clue.
I think the library.
- This is your car. - It's the library.
Can we follow you? - Yeah.
- [Luke] Go, go, go, go.
- [Jaime] I have no idea how to wash the windshield.
- [Cara] Drive with your head out the window.
[Jamie exhales loudly] [dramatic music]
- [Mike] Is this is right here you think?
- This is it.
Let's get out.
- [Mike] There's snowplows right there Mark.
- [Mark] All right, let's choose a snowplow.
This has to be a Siberian snowplow.
- Okay get in, get in, get in. - Okay, there it is.
- [whistles] Crank it.
Easy.
Follow me, follow me, follow me.
- [Mike] I can't see where I am going.
- [Mark] Whoa, whoa,
we're all right, don't, relax Mike.
[dramatic music]
[upbeat adventurous music]
- I don't see the churches. - This woman has
gotta get married.
- You like? - [laughs] Yes.
- There's a church. - Beautiful church.
I hope this is the church.
I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.
Who are these people?
[church bell rings]
We have to find the groom.
- [Mel] Oh, I bet the groom is down here.
[Mike and Mel laugh]
Can we get a picture?
[camera clicks]
[upbeat adventurous music]
Thank you.
Drive to Biblioteka and search for your next clue.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- We've gotta get someone to take us.
Let's ask this guy right here.
- Can I ask where? - This way?
- That way.
- Will you take us? - Thank you.
He is like our lifeline.
[upbeat adventurous music]
- Slow Mike, slow.
Mike, slow it down.
Turn, turn.
Slow, slow!
Turn it, turn it.
Crank it, crank it.
[dramatic adventurous music]
Good, good.
Mike, let's go.
Drive to [mumbles] and search for your next clue.
Wow, that is a mouthful.
- Okay. - Here, let's go back
to our car.
Looking good. - Let's go, let's go.
Mike, man we knocked it out.
- This was like a snap.
[dramatic music]
- [Jen] I k*lled it.
[car engine sputtering]
- She is like what is taking these people so long
to get me to the church. [laughs]
Now go.
Hold on.
Oh, damn that's too much gas. - I understand that.
- We can do it.
But she looks quite nice in her wedding dress.
[bride laughs]
- [Jodi] There's a pretty church.
Is this it?
- [Christie] I think that's it.
- He's turning, oh thank God.
Thank you so much.
We love you.
I don't know what she's saying to us.
- [Christie] Don't you think there'd be
a red and yellow flag?
- Let's go find out. - I swear if this is not it
we are screwed.
She is saying no.
- Not it, not it.
We're done. - Crap.
- [Christie] We went to completely nowhere land.
- Crap - Just go in the church.
- [Jodi] Why don't we ask somebody, help.
- [Christie] Let's see if someone's in here.
Is that here?
- Here. - Niet.
- Are you kidding? - Okay, how far?
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Jodi] We need to go to the center of the city.
- That way? - No, that way.
Sorry.
- Okay, let's go. - Gosh.
- We visited a really pretty church.
But it is the wrong really pretty church.
- [Christie] We'd be lousy wedding planners, huh?
- [Jodi] We have to go towards the center of the city.
We hope eventually she gets to make it to her wedding.
She's freezing her ass off.
- [Christie] She thinks we're trying to k*ll her.
And she's not said any of that, I can just tell. [laughs]
[dramatic upbeat music]
- Is this it? - [gasps] Mom look.
Hey. - There's it, it's it.
Right there. - Stop.
I'll tell the girls.
- Library, I think it says library.
- Yeah, I think so too.
It says Biblioteka.
So we're gonna run into the library
and we're gonna find a clue.
- Whoa! - Victor.
- That was ice.
[gasps] Is this it?
The Biblioteka? - The girls are here.
- [Victor] Yes, yay!
- Get the clue box.
[dramatic upbeat music]
- Oh road block.
- In this road block,
one person must participate in a winter marathon,
the way only the bravest locals do,
[dramatic suspenseful music]
in their underwear.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
That team member must partner
with two local runners and first warm-up
for a mandatory -minute period.
Then, they must strip down to their underwear
and with their Siberian partners
run approximately . miles
to Novosibirsk the Ballet and opera Theatre
where their teammate who has traveled here separately
will be waiting for them.
This theater, the largest in all of Russia,
is the pit stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
- Who has stamina and absolutely no shame?
Luke. - That's me.
- Um, no.
You want me to do it?
Whatever.
Strip down to your skivvies.
Why me always?
I have to run in my skivvies in this?
- The non-participating team member
will be transferred to the pit stop.
You can do this. - I'm gonna be freezing
my tootsies off. - You know what?
But you'll look pretty.
- Oh, no. - Crap, crap, crap.
- Here, we have lots of clues here though.
Who has stamina and no absolutely shame?
- Me, me. - You wanna do it?
Okay, Tammy.
- Strip down to your skivvies
and run a foot race.
At the end of the course,
check in at the next pit stop.
- [Victor] I should have done it. [laughs]
I was so jealous.
'Cause I actually really wanted
to run around the streets in my underwear.
I think we have to run practically naked.
Whatever.
I guarantee Luke is not wearing underwear.
It's not like mine.
I'll never be able to come to Russia again.
[multiple people speaking]
- Luke's ready, Luke's ready.
[Margie laughing] [people cheering]
He runs fast, fast, fast.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Go Luke!
[people cheering]
Luke is running a little marathon in his underwear.
It is freezing and icy.
We probably would have had to forfeit the race
if I had been chosen to do this one.
[Margie laughs]
Russia is not ready for that.
- [Jaime] Cara, you can do this.
[people cheering]
- [Victor] Good job Tammy.
[people cheering]
[upbeat music]
- Cara, come on.
Cara started walking pretty soon
and I couldn't stop because it was so cold,
so I ended up running ahead of her.
[upbeat music] [siren wails]
[bystander laughs]
- At first I was kind of disappointed,
because it just seemed people were laughing at me.
I was hoping like someone would hoot and holler
a little to pump me up.
[bystander whistles]
But then a man came and tried to hit on me,
and all right, I must not look that bad.
Keep going. [laughs]
[horn honking]
[adventurous music]
- Man if everyone's already there
I will be [indistinct].
- I think we're doing really well.
Michael is always knows the directions.
I could not get myself across
this town with four people and a guide dog.
- Is this it? - I see a big building
back in there.
Doesn't it look like a library?
- [Mike] Yeah, I'm hoping this is it.
- I see the box. - Oh God, you are awesome.
[dramatic adventurous music]
Who has stamina and absolutely no shame?
I'll do it. - Go Mike!
[dramatic adventurous music]
- We are going to push on
the way we are going.
We are feeling really, really darn good right now.
- And my beard is growing out well.
I'm a Cossack, I've gotta shave.
- You're blending in, huh? - Yeah, I'm trying to
blend in with the locals. - Mark the chameleon.
- Markusovsky Shnibotchka.
- [Mike] Hey, look at that big building
on the right there.
There's I see some cars right there.
Get it, dude.
- Road block, your turn. - Road block.
Okay. - The non-participating team
will be transported to the pit stop.
I'll get your stuff.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Oh, I like that, wow.
[dramatic adventurous music]
[whimsical music]
- Ready to get married.
[bride laughs]
All we have to do,
we ask the photographer to take a picture.
I think it's that church right there Jen.
- [Jen] The gold one?
Well, how sure are you?
- I'm .% sure.
- So there's .
and gonna get your ass kicked, right? [laughs]
[dramatic upbeat music]
- [Kisha] Here, just park here.
- What building are we- - It didn't say.
[speaking in foreign language]
Oh yeah. - Take a picture?
[upbeat music]
- Thank you. - Thank you.
"Biblioteca" in Spanish
is library. - Library.
- We have to ask. - Excuse me.
- [Kisha] Where?
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Kisha] Okay.
[speaking in foreign language]
- I think we're here. - Oh that's pretty.
No one else is here.
Dumb blondes. - Thank the Lord.
Do you get to pick a groom
or you got one already in there?
- [Jodi] Go right to these guys.
This might be her groom.
[Christie laughs]
- [Christie] Can you take a picture of us
with the couple?
- [Jodi] Please be easy, please be easy.
Please don't drive.
Drive, crap. - Drive to, oh my gosh.
- Okay, we're gonna follow somebody.
- Thank you very much. - Let's go find a cab.
'Cause this finding our way around by ourselves sucked.
Okay, let's go.
- I am concerned about being in the back,
but anyone's guess.
That's the thing about this race,
you have no idea until Phil tells you.
[laughs] You're clueless.
[triumphant music]
- Go Luke!
Luke, you are doing great, go.
You were first, yes, first come on.
I think I would do anything to win this race
but underpants, I don't know.
I just kept looking down and kept running.
I didn't want to see anybody looking at me
'cause I was very embarrassed.
Wanted to finish number one, so I just kept on running.
[triumphant music]
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Thank you.
This is the finish line, I take it.
I think that's Victor.
We're the only ones.
Haven't seen anyone else. - I think we're the three
in the front.
So good.
- It doesn't surprise us that Victor
and Tammy kinda do their own thing.
They are extremely competitive.
Damn Victor and Tammy. - Looked back and I was like-
Oh I'm sorry. - They left us,
those bastards. - Well let's put it this way,
you got there before we did. [laughs]
- They tend do their own thing.
When they see an opportunity, they take it.
So now I have doubts about them.
- One, two, three, that's okay.
- Cool. - One, two, three, we're good.
One, two, three, one, two, three.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- There's another team. - Oh no, oh no.
- Margie.
[people cheering]
[dramatic adventurous music]
[dramatic music]
- Welcome to Novosibirsk.
- Margie and Luke, you are team number one.
[Margie and Luke cheer]
As the winners of this of the race,
you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to St. Lucia.
[Margie and Luke cheer]
You'll spend nights in a beautiful beachfront villa suite
at the Landings.
It's a Rock Resort.
You'll take a sunset cruise with breathtaking views
of Rodney Bay, as well as hitting the Spaulding.
You will hike to the top of a volcano
and take a Jeep tour through the rainforest.
[Margie and Luke cheer]
- First place two times.
We are doing a lot better
than we thought we would.
We're very confident that we can win the race.
Awesome job [indistinct].
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Yes. - Tammy.
- How far back was Cara?
How far? - She was freaking walking?
She was freaking walking?
- Okay, come on.
[dramatic music]
- Ta da.
- Tammy and Victor, you are team number two.
[Victor cheers]
- You just did so well.
I am excited we get to continue the race
and to watch ballet dancers as we run in.
This is just fantastic.
- Oh come on.
Cara, you are so freaking awesome.
[Jaime cheers]
- Come on. - I love you.
[dramatic music]
- The ballet. - Jaime and Cara,
you are team number three.
- Yes Cara. - Good.
[adventurous music]
- Get ready to run. - Feel good.
Warm.
I wish I had worn these boots.
I had worn my big Russia boots
and it was not the right footwear for a long run.
[whimsical music]
- People look at me in the most odd ways.
I mean girls would kinda, ooh, ooh.
- And you're in your underwear.
- And the guys are going what the heck.
And I'm kind of like an exhibition.
[dramatic music]
- Wow, where is a cab when you need one?
It sucks.
We figure we're both frustrated enough.
I'm not gonna add to her stress
and she is not gonna add to mine.
It seems counterproductive to scream at each other.
Just stay calm, plug away. - Woo.
[tires screeching]
Wow, the roads are very, very icy.
Shifting into a gear is quite complicated
when the ball for the gear turns on you.
- Hopefully everyone else is having as much trouble as us.
- Okay, wait.
Is that a cab over there to the right?
- There's two taxis. - Oh, thank God.
- You, we follow and we pay.
- Okay. - We will follow.
Wow, this is intense, huh?
If you didn't know how to drive a stick though,
you'd be in trouble, because you stop and start a lot.
- Oh my goodness.
[dramatic music]
- [Kisha] Yeah, I think we should get in the left lane.
- I understand that, darling.
- [Kisha] Brake, brake, brake.
[car horn honks] Oh no.
- Well, I'm sorry.
I've never drove in Novosibirsk.
There is no structure at all.
You don't know if you are in the right lane.
It was very chaotic.
[Horn honks]
- Jen I think you can turn. - I understand.
Oh my God.
I can't go, people.
I can't get it into first gear.
- [Kisha] Jen, are you doing the clutch right?
- Yes. - You got it?
- No, something's actually wrong with it.
Oh this is ridiculous.
We're screwed.
[horns honking]
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Jen are you doing the clutch right?
I think you're releasing the clutch too fast.
You got it? - Yes.
- [laughs] We can do it.
- It's all good in the hood.
I am gonna just keep straight.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Okay, gotta wait for those sexy boys. [laughs]
In their skivvies. [laughs] - In their skivvies.
What's hypothermia feel like?
- I don't know.
- I don't feel anything. - I am sure you don't have any
feeling in hypothermia.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[Mike cheers]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Intense, man.
I wanna make it to that pit stop.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- The two Russian marathon runners,
they were surprised this little guy
could really fly like that.
Come on guys let's go.
They had a pretty good time keeping up with me.
- Yeah.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Who do we see?
- Michael, you poor frozen little son of a g*n.
Go all the way.
In his boots.
- Rock on brother, rock on. - Let's go, let's go.
[dramatic music]
Go, go, go.
- [Bystander] Man or woman?
Man? - Yes.
- Yes. - Like me.
[bystanders laugh]
Come on, Mark!
Woo hoo.
[people cheering]
Go!
Come on, open it.
Okay, let's go. - Someone's behind us.
Let's not let 'em b*at us.
There it is. - Go.
- [Mike] Mark, [gasps]
we're right behind Mike. - Come on.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
- Mel and Mike, you are team number four.
- That's good. - We'll take it.
- [Mark] Right here, come here.
Mike.
[whimsical music]
[Phil snaps] [whimsical music]
[Phil whistles]
- Mike, look who's here.
Dummy, come on.
- Phil.
[Mark and Mike laugh]
- That was fun.
- Mark and Michael, you are team number five.
[triumphant music]
- Yes.
- Is that it? - I see the box.
Here we go.
- Road block.
Who has stamina and absolutely no shame?
- I do, I chose to do the road block.
[Kisha and Jen laugh]
- Strip down to my underwear,
which I had to change into underwear
since I do not wear any. - No shame. [laughs]
- [screams] The weather is freezing cold.
All we have to do is survive this leg, Christie.
We are in survival mode again.
- Okay, where is the course so I can run it
and get this over with?
[dramatic adventurous music]
- Oh, there's a clue box. - All right, good times.
Ow!
- Mother, I just slammed my finger in the door.
Ow, ow, ow. - It's all right, it's okay.
Are you okay, are you okay?
- Damn! - Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- [Christie and Jodi] Who has stamina and no shame?
- You.
[dramatic upbeat music]
- She's like, who has no shame?
And I am like it's her.
- Strip down, oh my God.
I really thought I was going
to put on an outfit that they provided.
Oh, I cannot believe this.
Is this legal in Russia?
I had no idea that I was going to leave on my thong
and run through Russia.
[Christie screams]
I cannot believe I am doin' this.
[horns honking]
Oh, my gosh.
[upbeat music]
[people whistling]
- People were whistling at me
and I didn't find it embarrassing,
not one little bit.
I look hot in my underwear.
I can't lie.
Do I not look hot in my underwear?
[horns honking]
- My dad's gonna die.
This is not what I had in mind, actually.
I knew it would be bare minimum,
I didn't know it would be my bare minimum.
Freezing my ass off.
[dramatic upbeat music]
- My finger got slammed in the door.
Just wrap it up and call it a day.
It is cold outside, so I can't really feel it.
- My hands are freezing.
- Ugh, it's so cold.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- I do see someone.
Oh, my God!
[people cheering]
All right, "America's Next Top Model" let's go!
[people cheering]
[dramatic music]
- Kisha and Jen, you are team number six.
- Okay, oh God!
- [Jodi] Come on, Christie.
All right, let's go.
Through here.
[dramatic music]
- Welcome to Novosibirsk.
- Christie and Jodi,
you're the last team to arrive.
- Fudge. - It'll be all right.
- I am sorry to tell you,
you will be the last team starting
the next leg of the race.
- We're in? - Yeah.
- Okay.
I was hoping I didn't run through
the streets naked for nothing.
- There is some bad news.
Sometime during the next leg of the race
you're gonna have to complete a speed bump,
and a speed bump is a task
that only you have to complete.
You must complete it before you continue racing.
As a consequence, doing the speed bump,
may seriously jeopardize your chances
of staying in the race.
So you guys are gonna have to race even harder.
- Okay, tomorrow's a new day. - We can do that.
- Just goes to show you in this race
you can go from first to last just like that.
- We do best when we are in last.
We crawl, we climb up.
We start fighting. - Let's hope.
We've felt we have been the underdogs
since we started the race.
So once again we're just the underdog.
And we have something else that we have to do
and we'll just do our best to do it.
[dramatic adventurous music]
- [Phil] Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
Next week on "The Amazing Race"
Luke gets emotional over the poverty in India.
- I know, it is very sad.
We've seen some children eating garbage.
- [Phil] And teams experience the chaos of the culture.
- He left with our bag.
Where did he go?
- Rupees for the poor.
- Oh, oh.
