Amazing Race, Ep. 21.8

Continuation from last week...

JA must produce their passports in order to continue.

Back at the pool JB did not complete the synchro task before the pool closed, so they incur a 4 hour penalty.

AR continued to stick with JB and they moved on. This time Abbie could not figure out the lock task, so Josh (or Brent) helped her finish. They all went on to meet Phil at the mat. They all beat JA. The 4 hour penalty gets assessed at the beginning of the next leg...it does not affect their check-in on this leg.

JA are then told that it is a non-elimination leg! They are still in it, until they have to use their passport. If they can't they will be eliminated. They will also have to complete a Speed Bump.

Road Block-Calculate Time

Jaymes and Lexie were up first. You get to look at Russia's 9 time zones and get 5 cities correct, but you only had a few seconds to look at the map. There was this mean professor guy who yelled "Pencils down!" They were really having a hard time getting it. Jaymes was hilarious!! It was good that they were trying to help each other. Finally, they figured out that they weren't basing their figures off of Moscow time. The old guy was funny...in his Russian accent, he said "I'm really sorry....but you win!"

NN use their Express Pass and skip the Road Block.

Ryan thought he had it all wrapped up, but...no! Over and over...no. Poor guy, he had no one to help him. 21 times! Abbie actually figured it out, but she couldn't help him.  The Russian guy says "Try to relax, I'm on your side." Haha! And finally, he gets it! "I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid!"

Guess who got it right on the first time? Brent! Wow!

Detour: Movers or Shakers

Aw, JJ left, but came back for TL when they saw that they weren't getting a taxi.

JJ and TL both choose the dancing task. JJ looked so cute! I hope James' ankle holds out! Yay, they got it right! And then TL got it right, yay!

Lol, one of the twins ripped her pants!!

JB chooses not to dance but to identify famous leaders at a party...they fit right in. Brent: "Lively for a dead crowd."
