Shana and Jennifer were also doing the spy thing. As they were booking their tickets, Shana asked a couple of other teams whether they could bugger off out the office so that their seats would remain a secret. Jennifer was all "WTF was that? Make everyone hate us, why dontcha." And now I'm on Jennifer?s side. Following the 'take no prisoners' strategy is all well and good but why the hell should you antagonise other teams for pointless 'advantages' that aren't actually advantages at all?

Sigh. I miss the BQs. They played hard and ruthlessly but they also played smart. They also didn't whine all the time about what other teams thought of them either like some people.

Atchoo

The three flights all arrived in Lithuania within an hour-and-a-half time period. Fun fact I learned from this episode: The Lithuanian word for "thank you" is something like "atchoo". The Lithuanians are an allergy-prone people.

The first destination was a place called St Anne's church. You'll be happy to know that Kynt doesn't subscribe to the belief that talking really loudly to a non-English speaker makes you more understandable. Instead he thinks that asking for directions in an odd Faux-English accent works better than using his normal accent.

The route to St Anne's was rather confusing. Shana and Jennifer drove off in the wrong direction and almost got totalled by a bus. Cue the freaking out and bickering. Come on, that bus didn't even hit ya. Change your pants and get back to work.

Christina wisely decided to do the old 'pay a taxi driver to go there and follow him' trick. Ronald smiled and gave her kudos. I fell off my chair in shock. Now it feels like I've been hit by a bus.

First task was a Roadblock. One racer from each team had to find and deliver a package to a local, all with similar-sounding names like Olga, Tolga and Egle. Nicolas must have been confused about all the Polgas and Dolgas running around because he was the first to arrive at the RB, yet the last to finish.
