LAST EDITED ON 12-03-07 AT 02:11 PM (EST)If anyone's trying to read this thread and figure out what happened:
This leg started with a flight to Vilnius, Lithuania, The instructions prohibited booking online. Turned out that the only flight out of Burkina Faso left on Air France at 10:45 PM, and since the first two teams started at 6:45 AM, they were all going to be on he same flight to Paris. The first team to book, Ronald and Christina, booked on a flight through Prague that arrived in Vilnius at 2:15 PM the next day. Everyone else booked on either a 1:30 PM arrival through Amsterdam or a 1:45 PM arrival through Frankfurt. When Ronald and Christina found out, they decided not to change. All of the flights arrived on schedule, but several of the teams became really lost looking for the first marker (at a church) in Vilnius, which is an old city with confusing streets -- which allowed Ronald and Christina, who hired a taxi driver to lead them to the marker, to end up mid-pack.
The first marker was a roadblock, which involved making two hand deliveries. The blondes (Shana and Jennifer) got really lost while searching for the church and fell way behind. Donald and Nicholas were the first team to arrive, but Nicholas got completely lost looking for his second delivery stop. All of the other teams except them completed the task and left before the blondes arrived. Shana blew through the task, but Nicholas finally completed it too, leaving them neck-to-neck.
The next marker involved a hunt at a Lithuanian history museum through about a thousand Travelocity gnomes for a blue-coated gnome. Once teams found such a gnome, they had to bring it with them, and then do a Detour at a traditional Lithuanian festival: either count the number of fence posts in a picket fence, or walk a certain distance on stilts. TK finished the stilt course and had a long wait for Rachel to finish, but she did, just before Kynt & Vyxsin finished counting correctly (717). After finishing, teams had to walk (sprint) to the windmill nearby that was the pit stop. TK & Rachel narrowly won and got a 10-day trip to Japan.
Ronald wanted to do the stilts but couldn't finish the course repeatedly, while Christine was done quickly. Azaria & Hendekea also went for the stilts, while Nathan & Jennifer did the count -- or, rather, Jennifer did the count after bitching out Nathan, but she got 727 and had to start over. Ronald finished, finally, and then A&H finished, and Nathan decided he'd had enough of Jen and went to the stilts -- which they finished quickly for fifth.
Donald & Nicholas arrived shortly before the blondes (who got a little lost again), and held a slight lead into the Detour, where both elected to count. Nicholas realized that he'd counted some posts that he shouldn't have counted when he overheard the blondes, and went back to adjust his initial count (737) by subtracting the posts he should have skipped, per the instructions. He correctly subtracted 20, and when the blondes came up with a number that was way too low, they were left to marvel about karma being a bitch (kinda like them) and to go home.
The previews for the next episode showed Jennifer and Nathan continuing to fight viciously (with Jennifer saying to Nathan three times, "I hate you") and A & H even getting in to their own battle.
