Greetings everyone. As The Amazing Race season 15 is proving that only the strongest and smartest teams survive. And this weeks broadcast was right on cue and the result was the weakest team both physically and mentally was eliminated. The last place team was Gary & Matt as they were spared elimination after falling to last place during the last broadcast. They got lost while driving in Stockholm Sweden. Matt was driving with his father Gary reading the map and navigating them around circles causing them to fall nearly four hours behind the leading team.
But so much for large leads. The departure times leaving the pit-stop on this leg of the race were 2:23am for the first place Harlem Globetrotters, then Meghan & Cheyne at 2:42am, Brian & Ericka at 4:37, Sam & Dan after 5am and the last place team Gary & Matt left the pit stop at 6:29am. NONE OF THAT MATTERED as once again that evil “Amazing Race Equalizer” smacked everyone across the face thanks to travel schedules. The culprit this time was a ferry boat they had to take didn’t depart until after 5pm that afternoon. So teams had all day to wait and some slept in their cars. Then teams had plenty of rest with a long ferry boat ride from Sweden to Estonia.
The first clue was the "roadblock" task that had teams travel to Estonia and to use keys given to them at the pit-stop to enter a building where they had to search for candelabra containing a room number. They then had to locate that room, find a scroll that when held against light would reveal their next clue. But before completing this task, Gary & Matt had to complete their exclusive extra task known as the “speed bump” which wasn’t as hard as it should be at this stage in the race.
The speed bump task for Gary & Matt had them to go take a 5 minute sauna on a specially equipped bus. But the heat had to be too much for Matt’s brain as when he attempted the “roadblock” he had no idea what a candelabra was. Then Matt misunderstood that he would have to use light to find his clue on the scroll. But somehow he figured it out.
After decoding their next clue teams proceeded to the “detour” task choices of “Serve” where teams had to strip down to their underwear and play volley ball in knee deep mud or “sling” where teams used vegetables in a sling shot to shoot a target that would drop a table of cabbage to the ground and reveal their next clue .
Along the way to the “detour” teams fought over taxis, Matt & Gary got lost again, and the gay brothers Sam & Dan got more frustrated with the Harlem Globetrotters as they fought for the same taxi and the driver eventually drove both teams together to the “detour” location. Also an attempt at some dirty play backfired as one team’s taxi driver called another asking the driver to slow down so the other team could catch up. That driver refused. Then three teams caught up with each other and struggled to locate the route markers leading to the volley ball task. Once they found their way they discovered that only two teams could play at a time so Ericka & Brian switched to the sling shot task.
Gay brothers Sam & Dan perked up quite a bit when they learned they would be playing volleyball against good looking Estonian men in their underwear. But they were frustrated once again as the Globetrotters finished first.
Meghan & Cheyne had already completed the volleyball “detour” and made their way to the pit-stop in place again and for their first place win they won a personal sauna.
Second and third place was a foot race and a collision between the gay brothers and the Harlem Globetrotters. The Globetrotters finished the "detour" first but made a mistake by going the wrong way. Sam & Dan was excited about the Globetrotter's error but "Flght Time & Big Easy" quickly realized their mistake and immediately corrected their course and caught up with the gay brothers.
But as they were running to the pit-stop it appeared that one may have elbowed another causing a member of each team to fall and increasing the tension between the two teams. They arrived at the pit-stop at the same time but the official result was Sam & Dan in SECOND PLACE and “Flight Time & Big Easy” in THIRD PLACE. However there was no huge arguement in discussing the tension. Both teams expressed their opinion without much conflict. It was about competition for both teams but it also seemed to grow more personal with Sam & Dan.
Closing out this leg of the race, Brian & Ericka arrived in FOURTH PLACE officially now placing them in the last place as Gary & Matt never regained any lost time and were eliminated as I predicted in the last two legs of the race.
So Gary & Matt’s elimination was an easy prediction to make based simply on the ability and strength of the teams. I can now offer my predictions for the WINNER of the Amazing Race and there are changes in my predictions for the final three.
First my predictions for the final three. I am very sure that Meghan & Cheyne and “Flight Time & Big Easy” WILL be in the final three and I also predict that the winner will be one of those two teams. The only other member of the final three I predict will be Brian & Ericka. So yes, even though I happen to be gay I am not predicting the gay brothers Sam & Dan to make the final three. If they happen to make it, I seriously doubt that they will win The Amazing Race. It is my prediction that SAM & DAN will be eliminated next.
My reasons for predicting Sam & Dan’s elimination is because of their attitude. Clearly there are stronger teams than they are and now they are desperate. They are already frustrated with competing with The Harlem Globetrotters who could kick their cute gay asses but their frustration will ruin their focus and they will have to play dirty. The previews for the next broadcast show Sam & Dan stealing another team’s taxi while that other team was still working on their task. If that dirty play works for Sam & Dan then I believe karma will kick them in the butt and end their chances for winning the race.
So again my predictions are for the final three, Meghan & Cheyne, Flight Time & Big Easy and Brian & Ericka with the first two having the best chance at winning the race. I predict Sam & Dan to be eliminated as they are now the weakest team on the race.
It’s the best time of the year and I am not talking about Thanksgiving or Christmas. it’s the final legs of The Amazing Race! My favorite time of the year.
Seasons Greetings to all! As in Amazing Race Season 15!
