everyone's going to pick the old folks but I am going to pick team public display of affection, David & Lori.They just seem slow and maybe the old folks sneak past them.

Yeah, I never underestimate the ability of other teams to make enough dumb decisions to lose to the old team.

The old couple didn't make any obvious mistakes like they did the previous week, yet they still came in last place. So I think they will be eliminated next.

The episode was pretty linear and straightforward so there wasn't many places to lose time. However, the old folks decided to go up the wrong fire escape.
I think they were the fifth team on the one fire escape while if they had gone to the far one that the hippies went, they would have been the second down the building. Everyone made that mistake but still. This made them get on the last bus. I would say also that they made a mistake in selecting climbing the waterfall. But still, they are slow, slow slow and probably did something to have their VW bug break down. Anyway, they won't last much longer. I just can picture Team PDA losing tonight.

Unfortunatly for them, I see team DD going home tonight.

The geezers. Not because they're old, but because they are poor decision makers.

I'm going with the old team because like so many have already said, they aren't just slow, they are poor decision makers. They consistently make every roadblock or detour just a little bit more difficult than it should be.

The geezers should go tonight, but I agree with whoever said it earlier... it always seems to happen that the week the oldest, weakest team should go, they either get a roadblock/detour that is miraculously easy for them, or some stronger team has a stroke of terrible luck and/or a major meltdown. MoJo looked like they were ready for that meltdown from the first second they were on screen, so I voted for them.

As always, I hate when the first 1/3 or 1/2 of an episode is meaningless.

When it's 10:50 and nobody has checked into the pit stop yet, you know it's a 2-part leg.

A good episode ruined by a pointless, unnecessary
Spoiler:
it looks like they're leaving Moscow and going to Germany, so there was no reason not to have a pit stop
"to be continued" double leg. To make it suck even more, all they have to do is have airport or hours of operation bunching next week to make everything that happened this episode completely meaningless (like they've done the last few seasons they've pulled this).

Hot Daughter is not going to last long if Wanda doesn't chill out. Double D is dead to me if they don't stop flirting with Eric/Jeremy. If you're at a swimming pool and the Roadblock clue is "Who wants to take the plunge?", why would you have the team member who can't swim/is afraid of water do it?

This is what cracked me up. How could you not think you'd be swimming in deep water? LOL Ah well, looks like it didn't matter much. There were enough mistakes by other teams that everyone's bunching up a bit...and as someone above said they'll probably be in a forced bunch up next week.

Made more sense than the one broad who thought she would have to do it naked in front of the Ruskies.
