The Amazing Race S.15 Ep.12: Recap & Discussion

Posted by Ariana | Tuesday, December 8, 2009 @ 10:42pm

Here we are at the finale—two days past it, at that. I hope by now you’ve had a chance to see the last episode, or that you've at least heard who won. You’re not depending on me for your television news, are you?

The Amazing Race S.15 Ep.11: Recap & Discussion

Posted by Ariana | Tuesday, December 1, 2009 @ 2:36am

The first clue of the leg leads teams to the Spanish Synagogue, which is still in Prague. The whole leg is in Prague. For most teams, this destination yields only a second clue, but for Ericka & Brian, it will host their Speed Bump.

The second clue sends them to the Ekotechnicke Museum. There, they find a Kafka-themed Roadblock wherein one person enters a room full of ringing telephones and has to find the five that have someone on the other end; each of these will give them one letter in the word “Franz” (as in Kafka), which they will have to unscramble to get their clue.

The Amazing Race S.15 Ep.10: Recap & Discussion

Teams head to Prague, which if you ask Sam & Dan is either somewhere they speak Spanish or its very own country. That’s... sort of appalling. Isn’t not knowing where Prague is sort of like not knowing where London or Paris or New York City is? Anyway, dumb or not, they’re all on the same flight from Tallinn.

The Amazing Race S.15 Ep.9: Recap & Discussion

Posted by Ariana | Tuesday, November 17, 2009 @ 5:01pm

After a short ferry hop to Tallinn, Estonia, teams spend the whole leg in and around that area, so it seems like a wee little leg with little room for the lagging, non-eliminated Gary & Matt to improve.

Their Speed Bump requires them to take a five-minute steam in a sauna bus with some friendly-seeming locals, including one particularly hot blonde girl. Challenging!

The Amazing Race S.15 Ep.6: Recap & Discussion

Posted by Ariana | Thursday, October 29, 2009 @ 1:17am

‘Twas a surprisingly interesting episode for one that didn’t leave the city of Dubai at all. Teams performed a Bond-like Roadblock, a Detour featuring a choice between fiddly numbers and fiddly assembly, and a fear-of-heights-and-water-defying waterslide under sharks.

It turns out you can’t just show up at the airport and request a flight to “the Persian Gulf” without getting a few funny looks. Who knew? Thanks, Sam and Dan, for that bit of wisdom.

Posted by Ariana | Tuesday, September 29, 2009 @ 3:32pm

You'll have to help me out a little here, readers. Give me a week or two and I'll start recapping the race properly for you, but right now I'm mid-move and my brain is a fog of boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape.

So here's a quick rundown of the season premiere and the teams that will be accompanying us along this journey--some longer than others--and you'll have to fill in the blanks by commenting a lot below. It's easy, it's free, it's painless, it's fun, and I promise to comment back.
