Shock of all shocking eliminations, we haven’t seen a jaw dropping finish like this since Rob and Amber were done in by Charla and Mirna in the mail room!
The teams had to leave Lithuania for greener Balkan pastures on their way to Croatia, but just getting out of Lithuania proved to be a Herculean task that almost no one was up to meeting. Airports and flights are always the great equalizer on the race. You may have a stellar lead and great momentum, but one bad booking or delayed flight and you are out of the game. Teams were all over the map getting out of Vilnius, but it was only Ronald and Christina, Kynt and Vyxsin and Nate and Jennifer who made it out with any hope of hitting the mat first.
First of all, let’s talk about Nate and Jen. Their relationship has completely unraveled and it seems these two have totally given up on each other. They were looking for the Race to help them decide whether or not to marry, and now as a nation of reality lovers and cautious citizens we BEG them, PLEASE do not procreate! There are enough poorly mixed sets of genes out there, and your guys’ toxic gametes belong no where near each other. Jen told Nate she hated him with a passion (frankly I am starting to share her sentiment), and from there it only got worse. They could not get into a rhythm and every time an element fell further out of sync Jen had kittens and threw diva fits with abandon, and by the time they made it to the mat she was pouting with arms crossed essentially begging to get off the show. Go! Leave! Sabotage yourselves before you go a day further.
Ronald and Christina were somewhat improved on the race, at least Christina was and it was her patience and altered strategy that propelled these two to a win. He is still a pain in the ass, but every week that goes by she figures out a new way of dealing with her over bearing naggy old father
Azaria and Hendekea WERE the team to beat, but after carelessly neglecting to check what class they were booked into they were mortally delayed and could not fly business to Dubrovnik. For all their smarts and teamwork they were undone by another overbearing and arrogant fool, Azaria. He was manhandling his sister like a jealous lover, and come to think of it he is awfully touchy with her. Maybe he suffers from that same syndrome Spencer’s sister has fallen ill with, incestuitis. They were kicked off the show, which is weird because it seemed like with his confidence and her foresight, not to mention their combined intelligence and physical skill, they could find a way to maneuver any obstacle on the show. You must pay attention to detail on The Amazing Race, otherwise you end up in 6th place and take your spot on the wall of infamous could-have-beens who were unable to seal the deal in a trek around the world.
