They had to find the letters while doing the bobsled in 4 minutes or under and then spell out the name.
(I was surprised by the number of people who didn't know who Chekhov was and guessed the name.)
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

And I was amazed at how many of the teams had NO CLUE who Chekhov was.
Oh, yeah, I gathered that. dag, people! Not even Mike & Mel knew??? That's disappointing.

The most interesting thing for me was seeing how far behind the lawyer sibs got during Victor's forest trek--they were two hours behind the second-to-the-last group!

I thought Mel knew too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh right, I forgot about Mel.

And I think one of the redheads knew too. . . or did she just guess?

The redhead guessed, and there was another team member who went through who was able to extrapolate since she knew a lot of Russian names ended in "ov".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was amazed that woman didn't know Chekhov, but knew enough about Russian to get it on the first (?) try.
Also, I kind of want to punch Victor in the face still, and am reminded of his smug, "I mean, who doesn't know Chekhov??"

He is smug but I also have a hard time not being judgey about this too! (But, if I were in the race, I'd be happy about the other teams being ignorant!)

Me too. I had pretty much the same reaction, so I can't really blame him for the thought.
