Story[]

Route Markers[]

The order of departure from Vila Panoramic are as follows:

  1. Mel & Mike (10:49 pm)
  2. Amanda & Kris (10:53 pm)
  3. Kisha & Jen (10:55 pm)
  4. Margie & Luke (11:06 pm)
  5. Mark & Michael (11:07 pm)
  6. Christie & Jodi (11:08 pm)
  7. Jaime & Cara (11:29 pm)
  8. Tammy & Victor (1:30 am)

Teams must fly through Moscow, Russia to the city of Krasnoyarsk in Siberia. Upon arrival, teams must make their way to the location depicted on the reverse of the 10 note, leaving teams to figure out that this was the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Dam, where they would find their next clue.

Teams must make their way to the Church of Saint Innokenty, where they would find their next clue.

Choice A: Stack
Teams must stack wood into a large wall formation in front of an existing stack. If their wall collapses into the existing one, they would have to rebuild both. Once the wood is properly stacked, the lumberjack would give teams their next clue.

Christie & Jodi, Jaime & Cara, Kisha & Jen, Margie & Luke, and Tammy & Victor chose this task.


Choice B: Construct
Teams must make their way on foot to a workshop and assemble a local-style window frame, then look for a house marked with a "Repairs Needed" sign and install the window there. Once the window is installed, the carpenter would give teams their next clue.

Amanda & Kris, Mark & Michael, and Mel & Mike chose this task.

Teams must make their way on foot to the Museum of The Last Bow, where they would find their next clue.

At the Museum of The Last Bow, teams would have the option to U-Turn a team, without revealing their identity. Margie & Luke used the U-Turn on Amanda & Kris. Since Amanda & Kris completed the Construct Detour, they would be forced to backtrack and complete the Stack Detour before continuing.

Teams must take a taxi to Bobrovy Log Park, where they would find their next clue.

"Who's ready to speed read?"

The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must complete a lap on a bobsled roller coaster in under four minutes while looking for seven letters scattered around the track. Once they had all seven letters, they must arrange the letters correctly to spell the name of a Russian playwright, Chekhov, in order to receive their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

Teams must take a taxi to the Krasnoyarsk Theater of Musical Comedy to check in.
For coming in first place, Christie & Jodi each won a motorcycle.
