The Amazing Race 2012 returns tonight to CBS with a new episode titled ‘Uglier Than A Mud Rail Fence.’ Last week’s episode of The Amazing Race was the most action-stuffed of season 20, and surprisingly, one of the most heartwarming in recent memory. Team Kentucky Bopper and Mark were the last team to arrive at the pit stop last week. They were both really disappointed because Bopper has a young daughter who suffers from respiratory problems and they were running the race for her.
In one of the most heartwarming gestures I have ever seen on reality TV Art and J.J. approached Bopper and Mark and told them that they were going to split their $10,000 winnings with Bopper so that his daughter might get better treatment for her problems. WOW, such a nice thing to do. Not to be outdone Phil told Bopper and Mark that even though they had come in last, this was a non-elimination round and so they were still in the Race. If you missed the episode you can read our full recap here!
On tonight’s show The remaining teams continue on the fifth leg of the race and the Amazing Race settles down in Bavaria, Germany where the teams scour King Ludwig’s quarters in the same castle that served as the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty’s castle, and tempers flare during one Team’s walk through a snowy labyrinth. In Germany the teams search for magical gnomes and an evil witch tries to stop them as things get really hairy.
