The Amazing Race: Season 12: “Cherry on Top of the Sundae That’s Already Melted”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The
After their mandatory rest period in Vilnius, Lithuania, the six remaining teams worked on getting to their next destination: Dubrovnik, Croatia. The first two couples, TK/Rachel and Kynt/Vyxin, made it to the airport within minutes of each other. Since it was still very early in the morning, the teams collaborated on their internet research. Although Kynt discovered that Czech Airlines had the first flight out, he chose to continue searching. Meanwhile, TK and Rachel opted to wait in front of the closed Czech Airlines office.
Instead of heading directly to the Vilnius Airport, Christina and Ronald chose to use a hotel phone to make flight reservations. Through LOT Polish Airlines, they secured seats leaving to Warsaw, Poland at 6:25 AM and arriving in Dubrovnik at 11:20 AM. When the father/daugher duo finally arrived at the airport, they decided to line up with the hippies and the other arriving teams outside Czech Airlines anyway. They wanted to make sure they had found the best arrangement. Instead of waiting with the other five couples, the Goths chose to find a travel agency that offered tickets to several different airlines. This bold move set off a wave of paranoia and another week of ticket purchasing confusion.

The Amazing Race: Season 12: “We’ve Really Burned Bridges, for Sure”

Last week’s winners, Azaria and Hendekea, were the first to depart at 6:45 AM the next morning. Nathan and Jennifer – the couple that narrowly came in second - started their way to the airport one minute later. After a lengthy stay in Burkina Faso, the racers were finally set to visit a new destination: Lithuania. Unfortunately, getting tickets to the country 3000 miles away proved to be confusing for the competitors – and bloggers (like me) at home trying to get it all straight.
Discovering that the airport offices were not yet open, the teams had to resort to internet research for the next few hours; they were only allowed to purchase tickets from official airline ticketing offices for this leg of the race. Aside from Nicolas/Donald, most of the racers ended up converging at the same small internet stop. (The grandfather/grandson duo found a different internet café to work out of.) After learning they would all end up on the same 10:45 PM flight into Paris, Ronald chose to leave the other teams behind while he and Christina searched for an open Air France location. The impatient father hated standing around by computers; he wanted to deal with a live person. Although they had some difficulties working with their French-speaking agent, Ronald/Christina eventually secured tickets from Paris to Prague to Vilnius (Lithuania). Their expected arrival time was 2:10 PM.
