Happy Turkey Day The teams head to Istanbul, where a surprised Uchenna and Joyce and Gretchen and Meredith find themselves a couple of hours ahead of a karma-slapped Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly. It's non-elimination, fortunately for a certain responsibility-shirking POW. |

Happy Turkey Day We Got A Gnome! We Got A Gnome! - The teams head to Istanbul, where a surprised Uchenna and Joyce and Gretchen and Meredith find themselves a couple of hours ahead of a karma-slapped Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly. It's non-elimination, fortunately for a certain responsibility-shirking POW. |

Bald ambition We Have A Bad Elephant - An elephant-pushing Detour and a camel-whupping Roadblock take a back seat to the poetry of head-shaving as the race continues across India. Get a tissue, y'all, because Joyce is bald. At least we get to bid farewell to Alex and Lynn, so there's something to feel happy about. |

Tea, totally Mow 'Em Down Like Grass - In India, the teams tackle a patience-testing Roadblock and a rather chaotic Detour that sends them around like the donut-cart guy at your office. In the end, all is "To Be Continued," so how's that for anticlimactic? |

Moving forward at a good clip They Saved The Eyeball - We take a brief moment between legs to enjoy a clip show, in which we get a relatively small amount of new footage and a fairly hefty amount of old footage. You've been dying to relive the Meatblock, haven't you? |

Animal magnetism Houston, We Have An Elephant - It's wildlife week on The Amazing Race, as the teams interact with goats, giraffes, elephants, ostriches, cows, little pig-like things, and, in Ron and Kelly's case, the vultures now circling their relationship. |

Head wounds and foot races I've Been Wanting A Face Lift For A Long Time - First, Gretchen gets herself a nice walking-wounded appearance, and then she and Meredith lose all their money and their stuff at a non-elimination mat. Then the most satisfying ending of all time comes along as Brian and Greg...well, you really have to see it. |

Horses, horses, horses, horses What A Gaucho You Are - In Argentina, the teams try out their equestrian skills, then head to Buenos Aires for a little boating and navigating. Rob and Amber annoy everyone by...winning, again, while Susan and Patrick learn that sometimes defeatism really is its own "reward." |

The one with all the eating Do You Need Some Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation? - The race moves to Argentina, with some getting there faster than others, and after a straightforward bike/boat Detour, we reach the voluminous-eating Roadblock that gives Rob a chance to show off his maneuvering skills, and results in the welcome Philimination of Debbie and Bianca. |

Chile con queso The Whole Country Hates Me - The whirlwind tour of South America continues as the teams head for Santiago, Chile. A challenging Detour involving groceries and literacy rounds out a satisfying episode that sees the departure of Megan and Heidi. You won't miss them. |

Peru-ff beyond a reasonable doubt Courteous? This Is A Race! - We're off again, and...hey, not everyone is hateworthy, and there are hardly any giant men dragging whiny chicks around! There's something vaguely familiar about this show. I used to be in love with one just like it. |

Back to the (sucking) Windy City 4 Continents, 24 Cities, 40,000 Miles - After a final stop in China where Hayden quits and Aaron proposes to her, the remaining three teams head for Honolulu and then Chicago, where Kris and Jon, having been screwed by a ticket agent, lose the race to Freddy and the odious Kendra. It's fitting, somehow. |

Like Madonna and Sean Penn, only more tiresome You Deal With This Before I Hyperventilate - In Shanghai, the final four teams race around with buildings and bricks and whatnot, and Kris and Jon get every slow cab driver in the city to take them on various Rides of Futility. Fortunately, Hornio finishes last; unfortunately, it is non-elimination. |

A farewell to arms It Always Comes Down To The Details - Really, really big arms, that is. A jaunt through Sri Lanka ends in disaster for Lori and Bolo when they fall victim to the dreaded Failure To Read The Clue. Sad, really. |

Rotten to the Corsica Tell My Mom I Love Her - Corsica brings grape-stomping and wall-climbing. And more arguing from Jonathan and Victoria. And more twitting around from El Hornio. And more bitching from Hayden. And more of Kris being the coolest chick on the block. None of this should come as a surprise to you at this point. |

Over And Over, They'll Be A Fool For You Phil Is A Choo-Choo Charlie - Because the effort to become a Burnett show isn't quite obvious enough yet, we are now subjected to a Burnett-like clip show in which, as usual, there is primarily a lot of stuff we've already seen and rehashed a number of times. Not to make it sound less than exciting. |

The Best Pest Is A Budapest They Probably Should Have Some Counseling - Jonathan is still making himself unpopular among the world's cab drivers, but at least there is no pushing or shoving. Kendra gripes, Hayden can't drive, and all the chicks are bungee-jumping. |

Hysterical Landmarks Quit Following Us - Jonathan and Kendra reach new lows, but the race itself is all about history this week. As in, "The teams visit some powerful reminders of dark periods in." As in, "The team that has been alive for the greatest percentage of." As in, "Is." |

Go Fish What If It Isn't Sanitary? - In Senegal, the teams are confronted with fish, salt, and ferries. After showing off their muscles -- and in some cases their capacity for nausea -- the teams cruise into the pit stop, and although Don and MJ struggle for another week, they find the glorious non-elimination waiting. |

Bale out Counting Bears Is Not Rocket Science - After navigating well, competently handling the more difficult Detour option, and getting to the Roadblock in third place, Lena and Kristy fall on very, very hard times and are eliminated. Sigh. This season is already sad. |

A Few Leaders And A Bunch Of Oslo-Rans I'm Not His Wife, He Doesn't Need To Yell At Me - The race moves to Norway, where heights, navigation, and a tricky Detour make for a complicated leg. Meredith and Maria also can't drive stick, which is a pretty good metaphor for their poor performance generally. They get booted, which seems fair. |

United, We Fly Standby You Just Made Me A Millionaire - In the first half of the finale, Linda and Karen almost pull out a victory over Colin and Christie, but then...they don't, and they are eliminated. And then it's the race to the finish, where baggage regulations and speedy taxi drivers make all the difference. Dare anyone hope for a truly satisfying conclusion? |

You gotta dance with the ox that brung ya It's Okay, Run Them Over! - In New Zealand and in the Philippines, Colin is an ass in any language and culture. When he and Christie fall momentarily behind at just the wrong moment, they find themselves victims of the dreaded Yield, and, totally unable to cope with falling out of first place, they collapse utterly. Only an unexpected non-elimination saves them from departing the Race entirely. Darn. |

In the end, the Twinkies' luck finally runs out, and we are down to the final four. |
