More dusk-'til-dawn marathon legs, please.

And not an Hours Of Operation sign anywhere to be found...

'It's the middle of the night, so we're flying -- what do you mean, 'find the next clue box?'

Agree. I also liked that they had to think a bit with the "Franz" clue.

Or, in the case of the 'Trotters, think A LOT!

Yep, these are fun! Why not, since their bodies don't have to shift too much from their normal body clocks -- midnight in eastern Europe is like 4 pm to them in North American time.

Must be a hoot to the locals to see strange furriners covered in mud and dragging around clay-packed statues or toting around trays of beer in the middle of the night.

ETA cuz it's "strange furriners" not "stranger furriners"

Well, except that they'd already been travelling around the world, so I'm sure their bodies aren't on North American time anymore. In fact, they probably don't know what time they're on anymore. But they did just get a break, so being up for awhile would probably be okay for them.

I watched the entire episode with the expectation of seeing an "Hours of Operation" sign. Surprisingly, I never saw one.

I bet Flight Time and Big Easy were looking for one of those signs too.

I completely agree! I knew they'd be staying in Prague, but I fully expected some Hours of Operation bunching at some point. I think racing at night is more entertaining for the viewer, as well, since you can't tell by length of shadows or how bright it is or isn't how long it's taking for the teams to complete the tasks.

I kind of wonder how long the beer task took. It seemed like they took 3 trips with the beer, but the bar had closed and everyone had left and the sun had come up by the time they finished. So it is what, 6AM? They must have started on that task after 4AM. Probably violated some bar closing laws in the process.

I think they lost (dropped or swiped) a many of beers to the people walking who were grabbing at them thus is was almost easier to just carry two and run back and forth.

Probably violated some bar closing laws in the process.

Which would have explained why the bar owner looked so sour. 'Thank you for making me sleep outside. Oh, yes, and for all those actors playing drinkers, none of whom paid for the beer. Plus that huge fine I'll have to turn over to the authorities? Thanks ever so very much.'

Then again, it's Prague. They may not have a closing law.
