The Amazing Race Season 12 Episode 5 Synopsis

The remaining teams take off for the fifth leg of the race from their Pit Stop at the Hotel de Ville and receive a clue instructing them to fly 3,000 miles to Lithuania. All teams end up on flights arriving less than an hour apart and are shuffled thanks to many teams' difficulties in navigating the confusing streets of Lithuania. Teams arrive in marked cars at St. Ann's Church, where a Roadblock requires one team member to make deliveries. Several racers struggle with this task, allowing some teams that found themselves behind to rapidly catch up. Upon completing the task, teams travel to a Lithuanian outdoor ethnographic museum. There, teams search among hundreds of gnomes (Lithuania being the "Land of Gnomes") for a Travelocity Roaming Gnome that must accompany them to the Pit Stop. Teams then choose from Detours that involve either meticulous counting or challenging stilt-walking. In the end, one team is unable to recover from both bad navigation and power struggling and is eliminated from the race.

The Amazing Race Show Summary

The Amazing Race is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan that pits 10, 11, or 12 teams of 2 or 4 people against each other in a race around the world for approximately 40 days. In a leg, they go to destinations where they will complete a roadblock, a task where 1 person completes (Season 1-7) or 2 people (Season 8), a detour, where you have to decide between two tasks that are usually opposite of each other, and a miscellaneous task.

After they complete all these tasks, they will be directed to go to a Pit stop where they will have a 24 hour rest period where they will be able to eat, drink, sleep, and mingle with other teams. The last team to check into the Pit Stop usually is eliminated, but sometimes there is a non-elimination leg in which no one is eliminated. After all teams are eliminated except for 3, these three race to the finish line where the winning team wins 1 million dollars.
