Amazing Race 2007


Our interns are such good sports, even jet lagged they jumped right in to the insanity of Gavin and Nate's faboo adaption of the AMAZING RACE! Above, Nate and Lucka welcomed everyone at the airport and the teams split up and found their instructions for their first task: making a mosaic tile, which led them to Old Town Square for a big JV quiz, and then to a pizzeria where they got to make their own pizzas, then to hotel Krystal for sweet sleep...

The next day, the teams were sent out and had to complete various tasks: paddle boating on the Vltava, passing out free cups of Kofola, singing with a Dixie band on the Charles Bridge (CZ team Greg chose the fast forward of getting a piercing; the eyebrow looks great, David.) After that, they took trains and buses to the bone church in Kutna Hora and then to Ostrava, where they had to find a certain sausage stand and each team member had to each 3. Above, team Poland pounds the kielbasa.

After spending the night in Ostrava, climbing towers and walls and mines and whatever, the teams came to Cesky Tesin, found the Well of the Three Brothers and Jitka, then the boys' apartment, and then have to get to Lucka's grandma's poultry farm where they have a choice: they can either KILL a turkey or CLEAN a turkey. Phil, from Greg's team, chooses the former.

After that, they trained/bused/taxied to Malenovice where they found Katka. Congratulations to Trev and Cass's team as the big winners!!! But really all 6 teams were winners, because all got to know each other and bond, which is really the point, anyway. Awww...
