The final four teams dodged elimination from "The Amazing Race" season 15 in Prague on the week 10 episode. Brian and Erika were the last team to hit the pit stop on the non-elimination leg, which means they will have to perform a Speed Bump on the next episode.
Meghan and Cheyne were the first team at this week's pit stop. Their reward was a trip to Hawaii.
Find the Praga
The teams traveled to Prague in We're Not Working with Anybody, Ever, Anymore! (Czech Republic).
Their first task there was to find a vintage Praga, which is a type of car. Of course, the clue didn't tell them what a Praga was. Meghan and Cheyne stumbled upon a picture of a Praga online while in the airport, but they didn't tell anyone out it. Meghan even joked about telling the other teams a Praga is a little black hat. What they didn't know was that Flight Time and Big Easy also knew it was a car.
Fast or slow, you choose
Meghan and Cheyne were the first to find the Praga, and their next clue sent them to a kayak park. Sam and Dan saw Meghan and Cheyne find the car, so they were able to get in to second place. Not long after Sam and Dan found the car, Flight Time and Big Easy also found the car. Brian and Erika were so far behind at this point because they had chosen to take the bus while every one else had taken a taxi.
The night's Detour was located at the kayak park. The teams either had to travel on the man-made rapids to reach a flag at the end of the course, or they had to travel a ropes course above the rapids to reach the flag.
There was an issue between Meghan and Cheyne and Flight Time and Big Easy at the end of the ropes course. Meghan and Cheyne felt Flight Time was slowing them down on purpose by moving very slowly down off the ropes course. They couldn't get down until he was down. He said it wasn't his original plan to slow them down but that he had no problem doing it once they brought it up.
Sam and Dan began their detour in the water but, after several failed attempts, switched to the ropes course. By the time they switched, Erika and Brian had arrived.
Meghan and Cheyne and Flight Time and Big Easy were gone before the other two teams started the ropes course. Meghan waved their competitors over to stick together, but Cheyne wanted nothing to do with that idea. When a taxi finally came around, he took the chance to get ahead. Meghan was really annoyed with how rude he was being, but he told her this wasn't a hold-your-hand game.
They weren't the only ones with issues, though. Sam and Dan finished the ropes course first, and Brian and Erika had to watch the pair steal their cab. Obviously, they were not amused.
Tiny mandolin
The teams' next spot was an opera house. Their challenge was to find a tiny mandolin and bring it to the opera singer on stage. The place was gigantic so searching for the small instrument was no easy chore. The challenge was made even more difficult by other instruments being placed throughout the house.
After this challenge, the teams were sent to their pit stop.
