The brothers have arrived and see Meghan and Cheyne dashing to take their cab and to not become victims of their own questionable precedent, the guys tell their cabbie to not go with them. The driver does agree to call them another cab, though. Dan enters the Roadblock. Given how short of a fuse these guys have, this distracting and potentially difficult task just might give Dan an aneurysm.

Brian and Ericka finally leave the pitstop about an hour and half after the Globetrotters plus they have to do the Speed Bump for not being eliminated.

Flight Time and Big Easy show up and Big Easy is tapped for this Roadblock. That is two in a row that involve searching for something and he proved with the mandolin that these types of tasks are not his forte. Dan gets the letters and fails on his first attempt as Big Easy starts up.

Meghan and Cheyne reach Kryocentrum and Phil explains that the cold is used to heal Czech athletes. The good news is that the teams only have to stand in a therapy room for two minutes. The bad news is that these rooms are -180 degrees Celsius and the task must be done in their "skivvies."

At the first clue box, Brian and Ericka encounter their Speed Bump. They must head to a local bar, make an absinthe drink, and then down it. Drunken stumbling in the streets of Prague just might be on tap for the remainder of this leg, especially since Brian acknowledges that he doesn't drink alcohol at all at home.

Dan is still assembling his letters in a random order because he is convinced that it might be a Czech word and he doesn't know any of those. Then, Dan explains that the stone-faced supervisors checking their guesses are the "biggest douches ever." And he would know because Dan is now the embodiment of "the pot calling the kettle black."

Big Easy gets his letters and heads to the supervisors to witness Dan get another one wrong. They decide to help each other, which is an interesting combination with the tension toward the Globetrotters from the brothers. This team work is not really paying off as they strike out again and again.

Meghan and Cheyne finish their subfreezing two minutes and head to the Charles Bridge.

Brian and Ericka properly mix their drinks and finish them off. I am pretty certain that Brian's eyes were as dilated as possible and they described their beverage as tasting like rubbing alcohol. There goes that lucrative absinthe endorsement.

Back at the Roadblock, the short-lived alliance of Big Easy and Dan is quickly shattered. Big Easy has been sharing his guesses with Dan as they go along as agreed but Dan has been making his own guesses without sharing with Big Easy. He finally figures out the answer and in true jackass fashion refuses to honor their agreement and give him the answer. "It starts with F. That's all I am saying," is the extent of the help that Dan offers. I can think of another word that starts with ‘F' and fits perfectly in front of ‘douchebag' to describe this clown. Two weeks in a row, the brothers make their mama proud by walking a fine line of dirty play with the cab and now a complete lack of integrity in the game. I want these guys off my TV so badly at this point.
