This week sends the teams to Croatia, but getting there isn"t as easy as you"d think. Running back and forth between different ticket offices doesn"t pay off for a few teams, but then it turns out that the best flight -- in terms of the same arrival time and the earliest departure (thus safest and longest layover) is the one where the connection gets screwed, leaving Nick and Don and TK and Rachel to scramble for new flights. But the really big problems come to Azaria and Hendekea, who ask for economy seats but get business class. (It had to happen someday.) They aren"t able to exchange them in time to make the flight, so they find themselves bumped to a later flight and wind up running in last place. Among the first clump of teams, Ron and Christina do surprisingly well with a wall-building Roadblock and with navigating on foot, so they actually win the leg and take home a catamaran. Nate and Jen, meanwhile, miss out on first place again, in part because a taxi driver kicks them out for being wet from the Detour, and they"re too impatient to get another one, so they just get some guy to give them a ride. This is not the "take a taxi" they were supposed to do, so Phil rejects them at the mat and makes them go back and get a real taxi, hee hee. At any rate, TK and Rachel got a better flight than Nick and Don, so in the end, it"s Nick and Don and a late-arriving Azaria and Hendekea, battling it out for the loss. Even though Nick and Don"s friendly vibe falters for the first time, they pull it together and make it across the finish line, and Azaria and Hendekea are eliminated. Didn"t see that one coming, I have to admit.
