Tonight's episode of the Amazing Race took the teams from Finland to Ukraine (where the girls will knock you out). Finally, mercifully, the Cho bros were Philiminated. They seem like nice boys, but a) they're way too passive and b) it's a race!!! I have no idea how they made it to the final five.

Other highlights & lowlights:

• The tank driving Roadblock looked like so much fun. It was a nice nod to history too, since I do believe that the largest tank battle ever took place in Ukraine
• What's going on with Rob's hair? It's incredibly pointy and now the point is gray. Is that the look he's going for or is it just because he doesn't have access to all of his normal products?
• James & Tyler continue to act like a couple. Don't think I missed Tyler calling James "sexy" in the tuxedos they had to don for the Detour. Just go ahead and hook up already. But, good for them for finishing first in this leg. They do well when they don't have to navigate
• I loved both Detour options. To be honest, I love any task that requires teams to dress up. In this Detour teams could do a needle in a haystack task at music school or go to a club and write & perform a rap song. Personally, I would have been all over the rap option:

  My name is Kris
  I'm on the Amazing Race
  I've been kicking ass
  all over the place!

  You get the idea

• It was nice to see those sourpusses, the Lyns, enjoy the Detour
• However, there was more than a bit of irony in the Lyns bitching about the Chos inability to run their own race. What have the Lyns been doing for the whole race? Following their Six Pack alliance around.

Next week: the Yield.
