In this double episode, we start out by heading to Warsaw, Poland, where teams meet up with Chopin and take a shot at piano tuning or X-rays, as they prefer. There's more scrambling of the order than you'd expect in light of the extreme differences between teams' arrival times at the end of the last leg, both because travel from Mozambique to Warsaw isn't that easy and because sometimes Detour clues are hard. The first leg is non-elimination, and Team Guido winds up at the end of the pack, making them "marked" for elimination in the second hour. That hour takes the teams to Auschwitz, where everyone is moved and no one is happy. After that, they run into an Intersection, which requires teams to work in pairs. This works out well for Uchenna and Joyce and Danny and Oswald, who team up to take the Fast Forward and finish strong. It works out badly for Dustin and Kandice, who have run a really good leg and wind up just barely being the third team at the Intersection, which requires them to wait about four hours for another team they can work with. The BQs team up with Charla and Mirna, leaving Team Guido and Eric and Pink as the other team. This all culminates in a giant volume-eating competition, which is as exciting as those always are (which is to say: not very), and while Charla is weak at eating two feet of sausage, so are both Eric and Pink. In any event, the teams go from here to a Roadblock, where Charla puts on a suit of armor and keeps falling down. That's about the size of it. Team Guido does manage to finish ahead of Eric and Pink, but just barely, so the half-hour penalty they have to absorb completely finishes them off. In this episode, Eric uncorks maybe his funniest line ever, Mirna finally pays a price for the ridiculous ***** way she treats people, and Chopin looks surprisingly good for a dead guy.
