I actually married an estonian guy (well he's 50%) but I can tell you from experience...they are a rather good looking group of men!

Random, but...

On a trip to Washington, DC in college, which was offered every other year, the professor would always include visits to two different embassies in the itinerary. We went to Canada and Estonia. The Canadian embassy is the CANADIAN EMBASSY! The Estonian embassy is a townhouse on Massachusetts Ave, with two guys running the whole place. We literally had to ring a doorbell when we got there.

The two guys were definitely good-looking, and they were so excited that we were there. They even had a guestbook that they insisted we all sign! Then we went upstairs to the second floor and sat on this gorgeous rug in front of a huge fireplace while these two gorgeous guys talked to us about Estonia.

It was one of my favorite parts about the whole trip

If this picture were rotated in the opposite direction, you would be able to see where I lived a couple of years ago. Hahaha.

This is how my friend and I pretty much felt about the country of Greece. I have never seen so many really attractive people in one place. The men...wow...fit the definition of "Greek God." And the women are beautiful. I couldn't stop remarking about how good looking everyone was. I even wrote an email home about it.

Warning: If you DVR The Amazing Race, and you have it on a series recording, along with the show immediately after it (because football usually runs over), make sure that the show after it is the same, and is being recorded. While watching football, they said that Cold Case is on at a "special time". I checked it out, and it comes on right after TAR this week in place of Three Rivers, which is what I always have on a series recording so I don't miss the end of the episode.

Just make sure nothing has changed so you don't miss anything!

I just hope they show the brothers' faces next week when they find out that Brian and Erika are still in the race.

Loved Big Easy, "I am so glad she found it before me, now I don't have to hear her calling his name over and over and over."

I had a strong feeling that it was a non-elimination leg, but I had a disappointed face when it was confirmed that Brian and Erika are still in the race. I've been ready for them to go for a while.

Yep! I fell victim to the "special time", just watched it on cbs.com.

While I find Erika annoying, Brian isn't bad, in fact, how he can stay positive with that harpy is an amazing race in itself . My new hated team is the brothers. They are not only unbelievable jerks to each other (their ragging is beyond annoying!), they are jerks to the other teams. Taking cabs is certainly not against the rules, but I still think it's pretty blatantly a-hole-y, and then not even making eye contact with Brian, not even a, "hey buds, sorry, but it's a race" comment, was just weasely.

THEN, remember how last week, they made the big point of bitching about how the Globetrotters "followed them" and didn't do anything on their own? Well, if they hadn't "followed" Barbie and Ken, they wouldn't have found the Praga (they thought it was a coat or a robe??).

I hope they somehow get eliminated the next leg! Karma's a bitch, and they deserve a healthy dose of it (IMO)

This I agree with completely.

To be honest, this I don't agree with at all. This is a competition, not a popularity contest, and offering Brian and Erika's driver more money wasn't against the rules. It was fair game and it was good racing.

Sam and Dan knew that Malibu Ken and Barbie and the Globetrotters had already finished the detour and moved on, so they knew they were fighting Ericka and Brian for last place. For all they knew, last place = elimination; they had to assume it did. They very well might be nice guys, but they might be nice losers, if they hadn't tried to hire the cabbie away from Ericka and Brian.

I could do with less of Sam and Dan's bickering, and I'm sorry Sam and Dan couldn't, as you say, look Ericka and Brian in the eye and "hey, it's a competition." But they did the right thing to "steal" the cab.

And I think if Ericka hadn't been the "victim," she'd have to agree it was good racing. It was just one leg earlier when Ericka was berating Brian for not fighting Malibu Ken and Barbie for the cab that she said they had first. (Remember how Brian and Erika asked the driver to call them a cab, and then Ken and Barbie told him to forget about it?) Ericka said Brian needed to learn to play dirtier.

I agree 100%. I really wanted Brian and Erika out a while ago, but the brothers are taking their place as the most annoying team.

And I thought the EXACT same thing when they followed Meghan and Cheyne to the car. They admitted they didn't know what they were looking for, and the only reason they got the next clue so fast was because they saw them running to it.

And they thought Prague was a country. Enough said.

I won't comment on the rest of the episode since I know not all parts of the country have seen it yet.

I went to college with Sam; actually sang in the choir with him - nice guy.

Warning: Again, if you usually have the show immediately following the The Amazing Race recorded, so that you can watch later on, make sure it's the same show. For me, they have "A Dog Named Christmas" playing afterward tonight instead.

No football before hand this week though It's on schedule for a change!

I've read the spoilers, cause I always do (ie the wiki) sad about the outcome....I could kill the brothers
