Sam & Dan McMillen Amazing Race Team
The boys leave Prague on their next leg of the race in second place. They head across town to the Spanish Synagogue and from there to the Ecoteknik Museum. At the museum, they get their first roadblock.
Here they enter a warehouse filled with empty desks and old telephones, listening for the letters to fill in the name FRANZ. The boys convince their cab to not take team one away from the first roadblock as they head inside. Dan does the roadblock and tries to keep his concentration and composure while searching through the hundreds of phones. Dan can not figure out the word FRANZ from the letters he has and continues to give the guy words that don’t make sense. Come on, Dan, there aren’t that many options! It shouldn’t take as long as it did. Think about it. It took so long the Globetrotters caught up to them. And then, he agrees to work with the Globetrotters, but then just tells him it starts with an ‘F’ and pisses off yet another team.
From here they head to the Kryocentrum – where they have to endure a holistic treatment of staying in a room that is 180 degrees Celsius below zero for two minutes. The boys strip down to tight little shorts and get cold together -= how cute! They do fine and last the two minutes and then get on a treadmill to work their body heat back up to normal. Then they move on to the next challenge still in a safe second place.
After the cold, they head to Charles Bridge to either build a Gollum, an ancient figure made of clay and straw or carry thirty beers across town and deliver them to a crowd of soccer fans. The boys decide to build a Gollum and they get started and dirty with their clay and straw. Immediately, they start messing up as their Gollum falls and an arm breaks off. But, they continue to build that Gollum not thinking that by doing so they might have to start all over again. As they carry the Gollum they start yelling at each other with one wanting to find the Synagogue first, and Sam being resistant. They continue to yell and scream at each other way over the top until they finally finish the task.
They then head off to Strelecky Ostrov near the Charles Bridge to check in and find out if they are in the final three. And yes, they are in the final three episode and will start out in second place. The Globetrotters fall behind and fail to make it to the final three because they can’t unscramble the work FRANZ.

And they call themselves Christians???
Liars, cheats and jerks.
Such a disappointment.

Come on, Eli – I don’t know a Christian that hasn’t lied or cheated. They are in a race for a lifetime and haven’t broken any rules. You would probably do the same thing – or would you roll over and let the other teams run all over you?
