This week’s episode of CBS’s “The Amazing Race” takes us to Congress Square in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The teams head there one by one in the order they finished the previous leg. Once they all arrive, they get a Roadblock.

One member of each team must deliver a dozen wooden items. John, Todd and Corey are the first to begin.

Corey and Rob decide to save their Express Pass for the time being.

As John completes the Roadblock, Joel and Garrett arrive, with Joel taking on the task.

Robbin and Chelsea and Steve and Anna Leigh finally begin the leg and reflect on their time on the show. Chelsea and Anna Leigh do the Roadblocks for their respective teams.

Once Todd finishes, he and Ashlie get the next clue, which takes them to Pivka Jama. Corey is not too far behind, with Anna Leigh and Chelsea quickly catching up. However, Chelsea must go back when she discovers she forgot the rolling pin.

Todd gets lost on his way to Pivka Jama. As they try to get situated, Greg and John and Rob and Corey arrive and go inside the caves. The next clue has them put together a dragon. Anna Leigh and Steve soon join them after passing Joel and Garrett on the road.

Before long, Joel and Garrett and Todd and Ashlie arrive at the caves to begin building their own dragons. Robbin and Chelsea miss the entrance to the caves and must double back.

Greg and John finish the dragon and head to Fonda Fish Farm. Corey and Rob, Steve and Anna Leigh and Joel and Garrett are hot on their heels.
