Amazing Race, 10172010

The nine teams remaining went back to the Asebi D/A Primary School to help with the renovation. From there, the first stop was to fly 4500 miles to the city of Kiruna, in the area known as Swedish Lapland, a very cold place. Ivy league acapella singers, Connor and Jonathan, were the first to depart.

From Kiruna, the teams had to go to Jukkasjarvi, home to the world famous Ice Hotel. In the summer, 10,000 tons of ice are frozen in a nearby warehouse where the team would get the next clue.

Michael and Kevin, the last ones to leave the Pit Stop borrowed the taxi driver's cell phone to call about earlier flights. Good move, Kevin!!!! Kevin was told by the agent to go to the Lufthansa office rather than the check in line. In the airport, Kevin and Michael saw father/daughter team, Gary and Mallory, who they shared the information they discovered. Miss Kentucky Mallory used her charm to get an agent get them the 2 hour earlier flight! Meanwhile, Nat and Kat discovered the earlier flight in the internet cafe!

Once in the Ice Hotel, teams had to decipher their next clue from the block of ice which led them to Fjellborgs Lodge. Since Michael and Kevin had the speed bump, they had to sit on an ice furniture for 10 minutes!!! Yikes!! Brrrrr!!! Kevin had so much discomfort sitting on the ice, but not his father! Kevin, you are a fool!!! You are only wearing shorts...what do you expect????

At Fjellsborg Lodge, each team had to use a summer training sled led by snow dogs to snatch 5 different flags. From there, they boarded the Vassijaur Train Station. In the next clue, the teams had to choose between Sleds and Beds. In Sleds, teams had to use an extreme sport gadget " techsled" to speed down a difficult course inless than 1' 58". If they fall, they had to start from the beginning of the course! There were some people that were unsuccessful, so they had to go to the Beds! In Beds, teams had to make a tent called "goahti," in the Sami camp, descendants of the Scandinavian nomads.

The Pit Stop was in the Norwegian border where Nat and Kat were first. They won a trip for 2 to Belize!! Jill and Thomas used the Express Pass to dodge elimination. Connor and Jonathan, the asapella singers were eliminated!!! Boy!!! These two can really sing!!!
