Alright, it’s getting close. After this episode, the final 3 will battle it out for the $1 million in the season finale of the Amazing Race 15 next week. One of these teams will not make it to that final lag of the race:

Dan & Sam: The Gay Bros.
Ericka & Brian: The Jungle Fevers
Herbert & Nathaniel: The Globetrotters
Meghan & Cheyne: The Lovebirds

The Lovebirds get to leave first at 9:46am, en route to the 11th Pit Stop (which will still be in Prague), followed by The Gay Bros, The Globetrotters, and lastly The Jungle Fevers. They taxi across town to the Spanish Synagogue for their next clue. Once there, they get a clue to go to the Ecotechnicke. This Kafka-esque Roadblock is pretty neat. There’s a room with what seems like one hundred ringing old fashioned phones, but only 5 have a person on the other end of the line. The person will give them a letter. There are 5 letters, and once they get them they must head to the supervisor’s office, fill out a form, and unscramble the 5 letters to make a specific word. Meghan chooses to do this one for The Lovebirds and in order to remember the letters as she gets them, she names an animal to go along with it and says it aloud. “R as in Rabbit. Z as in Zebra. F as in Ferret N as in…..A as in……” The word is FRANZ, and after a few mistakes, Meghan gets it right and must now head to Krycentrum with Cheyne for their next clue.

We’re down to the final four teams now:

Dan & Sam: The Gay Bros.
Ericka & Brian: The Jungle Fevers
Herbert & Nathaniel: The Globetrotters
Meghan & Cheyne: The Lovebirds

As this episode begins, the teams are off to the 10th pitstop. They leave Tallinn, Estonia and The Lovebirds get to leave first, heading for Prague, Czech Republic. There they must make their way to an old down town square and find a Vintage Praga for the next clue. The Gay Bros get to leave next, mentioning that the Globetrotters are their main competition, considering the heated tension between the two teams from last episode. The Globetrotters leave third, while The Jungle Fevers leave fourth.

The first flight leaves at 5:20am, with the ticket office opening at 4:00am. Turns out all teams make it on the flight. All teams grab taxis, except for The Jungle Fevers that decide to take the shuttlebus because someone had told Brian it was the fast way. Sounds like a bad idea to me.
