Well, last week's The Amazing Race wasn't really much, wasn't it?  Then again, that's always the feeling we get whenever it's a non-elimination leg, unless it involves a team we don't want to go.  Too bad, too, since that leg featured one of the most tortuous Roadblocks yet--well, at least it was tortuous in the past.  Everybody has left before the sun set.

On tonight's episode, the teams--still five of them, note--fly to Estonia, where invisible messages and muddy volleyball abound.  Surely if you're the sort who wants to see racers sinking in mud like it was quicksand, tonight's the night when you tune in.  The other question revolves around Gary and Matt, and whether they can be their bad luck streak in the last leg and beat the time difference and the Speed Bump to stay another leg.

And then there's the new rivalry between gay brothers Sam and Dan, and Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy.  Well, it's not really a new rivalry, but it'll get more obvious this week, thanks to last week's comments from The Most Annoying Team Ever and the "who cares?" demeanor of the basketball players.  You know whose side I am on, right?  Right.

The Amazing Race returns tonight from 8pm on CBS, although of course, there's still football to worry about.  I have a feeling we don't have to, though.
