Katie chooses to do it and correctly tells the doorman it was JFK. He then creepily hands her a coin that will open the door to the maze. And in she goes.

While the Caroline is talking to a local about looking up the location for the museum on his phone, the wind catches Anthony’s "v" and it breaks. The guys now have to head back to get another letter. Thus, my biggest fear is being realized. I hope they rebound and aren’t eliminated because if not, the remaining legs will be tortuous with no one to really root for.

The guys decide to flag down a cab and switch to the other Detour to avoid having to walk all the way back to the starting point. They fear the worst, just as I do.

After many nerve-racking minutes wandering the labyrinth, Katie finally reaches the clue and is able to leave. They are now heading to the Pit Stop in the middle of what Phil calls “the Fifth Avenue of Berlin.”

On attempt #7 at the train, Joey & Meghan have their next clue, as do the Sock ‘er Moms who successfully reached the letter museum. Not far behind them at all are Caroline & Jennifer, who have made up ground quite nicely.

On the other hand, Team Slapshot is just now starting the Train Trials. Even though there is still a Roadblock ahead, I am quickly resigned to the fact that this episode will spell disappointment for me, just as Prague was a huge disappointment when the Globetrotters were eliminated.

In first place, Max & Katie gleefully jump on the mat…well, Max is gleeful. Katie is her usual stone-faced self, even after Phil tells them that they also won the cars as they predicted. Like McKayla Maroney, Katie is just unimpressed with pretty much anything.

Mona & Beth are lost and intimidated by the bustling streets of Berlin. This confusion is enough time for Joey & Meghan to get to the Roadblock first. Joey hesitantly accepts the task. While Katie was a bundle of nerves and anxiety with the Roadblock, Joey declares is the best Roadblock in Amazing Race history.

YouTube’s Train Trials peers are struggling just as they were. Bates & Anthony are already four failed attempts into the Detour.

One team’s being lost is another team’s gain as Caroline & Jennifer pass up the still aimlessly wandering Mona & Beth. With even more hesitancy than Katie, Jennifer opts to do the Roadblock. I think that we are only minutes away from an on-camera nervous breakdown once she actually enters the labyrinth.

Outdoing Joey & Meghan on the failed attempts, Bates & Anthony finally have their clue on the ninth time around the track. Without much in the optimism department, Bates declares they need a miracle. The producers take this chance to cut to Mona & Beth recreating the scene from European Vacation in the roundabout. “Hey look, kids, Big Ben.” Despite that, I am not falling for their trickery and still think that the brothers are going home.
