IN ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, A FEW TEAMS MUST OVERCOME THEIR FEARS AS THEY ARE FACED WITH SOME OF THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES YET, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 5," TUESDAY, JULY 27

"Who Says Pageant Girls Don't Eat" -- Eight teams make their way from Argentina to St. Petersburg, Russia, where an eating challenge turns out to be a major obstacle for a few of the teams, on THE AMAZING RACE 5, Tuesday, July 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

A rivalry is born when one team rudely interrupts another team while they are trying to get some travel information. Meanwhile, several teams decide to work together, but after getting ahead, one team becomes impatient with the group and slips away to try to move forward on their own. Thanks to the stubbornness of one Racer who insists on taking advice from some clueless locals, one team finds themselves lost and wandering aimlessly in the freezing cold. After taking a commanding lead over the other teams, one duo is stopped in their tracks when faced with the task of eating a gut-wrenching amount of caviar.
