We're
Not Meant for the Swamp Last time on the Race, the teams hustled to Sweden and had fun with gravity and tossing rings before giving new meaning to the term "blowin' up overseas". Meanwhile, the worst Roadblock in Amazing Race history was revisited, leaving Gary & Matt in the back of the pack. The Race now continues with the Globetrotters out in front. PIT STOP It's Flight Time for Flight Time & Big Easy... or is it?
The Trotters get someone else to do the trotting for them. Unfortunately, the first boat to Tallinn leaves at 5:45 in the afternoon. So much for the lead. One by one, the teams arrive at the ferry dock, waiting all the while for the boat to leave at 5:45... and we're off. Sixteen long hours later... TALLINN, ESTONIA ... the boat arrives and we race to Mustpeade. It's a long run, and the Trotters go from first to worst. Out in front: Meghen & Cheyne. They reach the Mustpeade, where they find the Speed Bump for Gary & Matt... All of the other teams will get...
Cheyne and Sam tackle the mystery. Gary & Matt will have to tackle this first.
While they look for the bus, Flight Time and Ericka look for a candelabra. Flight Time was the first to get the scroll, but he doesn't really get the hint. Cheyne DOES get the hint, but it takes a while. Meanwhile, Matt eyes a pretty young thang. Back at the hall, though, Cheyne finds the clue...
... and heads out to join Meghan. Ericka does likewise with her partner. Gary & Matt are finished with the five minutes... meaning we're finished with the tall blonde hotness. Awww. Matt heads down to the fellowship hall and has to choose a "candle-o-bra." He finally finds one, albeit by accident. Meghan & Cheyne ... and Brian & Ericka... purposefully find this...
Brian & Ericka and Meghan & Cheyne decide to SERVE. Meghan & Cheyne leave Brian & Ericka by the wayside with THEIR cab! Brian & Ericka find another cab, and Ericka decides to find Brian a new set of balls. Meanwhile, Sam & Dan and the Trotters are racing toward the next clue box. Once there, both teams decide to serve. And both teams find the same taxi.. and both teams begrudgingly share it. Meanwhile, the "underwear clause" of the Detour clue puzzle the Racers. And once again, Gary & Matt are completely lost. They do find the box and decide to SLING. Meghan & Cheyne are the first to play bog ball... and they're surprisingly adept at it. Even if it is hard to move around in it. Meghan keeping giving it a little tweak before finally getting back into the swing of things. The other teams follow the marked path... or at least look for one.. to find the bogs. Meanwhile, Meghan & Cheyne win the Detour and get out of the bogs to get...
Meghan & Cheyne make a run for it and... PIT STOP ... lock in the pole position for a red cedar sauna... You know, because they missed out on the sauna bus. The other Racers finally find their marked path, while Gary & Matt are praying for a miracle. While Flight & Big are hoping to intimidate, Sam & Dan... are busy scoping out the guy action. Brian & Ericka see the mud bog and decide to shoot off instead. Flight & Big may be tall and imposing, but they can't volley for jack. As for Sam & Dan... big sticks, no love. Big Easy finally scores on a play. So do Sam & Dan. But Flight & Big score the five first and head to the Pit Stop! Sam & Dan are not too far behind, so it's literally a race... and the Trotters are racing the wrong way. Who'll be the first to the point? It's... Sam & Dan! They're #2, while the Trotters, who get injured running to the lookout, get #3. The supposed "elbow play" turns into an altercation at the Pit Stop. Or at least as close as one you're going to get in the Race. After all, there is some decorum. Gary & Matt run to the bog and start shooting... just as Brian & Ericka stop. Ebony & Ivory will take two and two, while Pinky & the Brain will be the last team to check in. This time, it's the end of the Race for them. But at least they had fun, and aside from the million, they had fun and shared a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
