Why didn't they put the cheese at the bottom of the snow-clad mountain?

The moms finally ask for directions and tell themselves that even if they are last, they will finish as strong as they started out.

Caroline has navigated the labyrinth and heading to Phil, who has just checked Joey & Meghan in as team number two.

It appears that I wisely didn’t buy the producers subterfuge about how lost the Sock ‘er Moms are because they have reached the Roadblock before Bates & Anthony. Beth goes for it for her team. The time it takes for her to correctly right answer "Kennedy" was enough to allow the brothers to show up, with Anthony entering the labyrinth for them. They are separated by only minutes. This one may actually come down to who doesn’t get lost finding Phil.

Caroline & Jennifer are officially number three.

In the labyrinth, Beth is happy to see Anthony because of it helps her not feel so lost and he is happy to help her, because he is exhausted from the long day and it means they still have a chance.

They both get their clues and the guys decide to follow the moms so they can beat them in a footrace. They must be unaware of how incredibly lost the ladies were just a short while ago.

Phil is in sight and the footrace ends as they expected. The Sock ‘er Moms are rightfully angry with themselves for leading them right to the mat where they are outrun by the brothers. Fortunately for my interest level in this season, Bates & Anthony are number four but unfortunately for me as well, this is a non-elimination leg, so Mona & Beth are still racing. It’s not that I don’t want them around because they are my second favorite team, but I really am tired of nonelimination legs.

Next week takes the teams to Scotland and the land of haggis and bagpipes. Plus, a double U-Turn is on the table and they tease us with the idea that Joey & Meghan and Mona & Beth get a sizable three-hour lead on the other teams at the airport.

Until next time, when HOPEFULLY someone will be eliminated, have a good week.
