Their next clue told them to fly to Moscow, Russia. In order to do this, teams needed to take a one of three planned buses to Sao Paolo for a plane. Luckily, all teams got tickets on the same flight.

Answer: 10m

Once in Moscow, teams needed to find Chaika Bassein, a pool used to train Olympic athletes. Once there, teams received their Road Block. Teams needed to put on a bathing suit and dive off the ten meter diving board. Then, they had to swim to the bottom of the pool to receive their clue.
Teams then needed to travel by taxi to Novodevichiy Monastery and find the Smolensk Cathedral to find their next clue; the Detour.

Joseph and Monica, Danielle and Dani, Wanda and Desiree, and Lori and David completed this task.

Answer: Eric and Jeremy

After completing the Detour, teams received a clue telling them to go to Phil and the mat. Teams had to rush by taxi to Red Square and St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. The first team to arrive was Eric and Jeremy, but Phil informed them that the leg wasn't quite over, and he handed them their next clue.

Answer: Germany

When teams arrived at the third Pit Stop, Phil handed them their next clue telling them to go to Frankfurt, Germany. Once there, teams needed to take a train to the town of Stuttgart containing the world-famous Mercedes-Benz Factory. In order to get to Germany, teams needed to get to the airport and catch a flight. Earlier teams were able to catch a flight, but other teams were unable to do this because of computer problems. Eric and Jeremy, Lake and Michelle, and BJ and Tyler were able to catch a plane and train earlier than the other teams.

Answer: 8:30

At the Mercedes-Benz factory, teams needed to take a test drive in on of the cars. During this, they had to ride on the Wall of Death, an extremely high banking wall on the track. After this, teams could receive their clue and their car for this leg of the race (the one they just tested).

The next clue told teams to drive 200 miles to the town of Bad Tolz. Once there, teams needed to find Ellbach Field for their next clue.

Answer: Fran

In the Road Block, teams needed to search Ellbach Field for a Travelocity Roaming Gnome. After this, teams needed to travel to Bavaria Film where they would find their Detour. Teams also had to bring their Roaming Gnomes with them in order to possibly win a prize at the Pit Stop. On the way to the Road Block a few teams got lost searching for the highway, and it cost them some time.

Answer: Three

Once in Grünewald, teams needed to find Bavaria Film, an international movie studio. Teams needed to choose between 'Break It' and 'Slap It' for their Detour task. In 'Break It', teams needed to break stunt bottles until they found one containing the word "Prost" (German for 'Cheers'.

They could only break one bottle per cuckoo of a cuckoo clock. In 'Slap It', teams had to learn a tap dance. Once they figured out the rhythm, they could receive their clue. During both tasks, teams needed to wear lederhosen. Fran and Barry, Joseph and Monica, Ray and Yolanda, Dani and Danielle, and Wanda and Desiree all completed the 'Slap It' Detour task.

Answer: Wanda and Desiree

After the Detour, teams traveled ten miles to a monument in Munich called Siegestor on a street called Leopoldstraße. Once there, teams needed to reach the fourth Pit Stop of the race. In the end, Eric and Jeremy arrived in first place, and won a trip to Africa because of their Travelocity Roaming Gnome.

In the end, Wanda and Desiree couldn't recover from getting lost on the highway, and they couldn't beat Dani and Danielle in a footrace, so they were eliminated from the race.
