User blog:Broodje Kroket/A theory about TDWT's Yukon episode.

A few things about this particular episode came to mind recently.

You see, I believe that Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better was originally supposed to take place in... Russia.

For this, there are several pieces of evidence, some being more plausible than the other.

Russia was a destination the producers initially wanted them to visit, as evidenced by the appearance of the St. Basilius cathedral in the trailer and the episode's exclusive clip.

In Broadway, Baby!, the next episode, the map shows that Chris and Chef go from the Yukon to New York by flying over Asia, Europe and the Atlantic. Which is a ridiculous detour considering that they could be there in around 3 hours by flying over North America. But what if this goof was a remain of when the episode was set in Russia? That way, the long detour would've made much more sense as the route between Moscow and New York is shorter by going west.

Her Real Name Isn't Blaineley plays during Bridgette's exclusive clip. A song which sounds very Russian (Or Eastern European if you must). I have a feeling that this song was originally meant to be in this episode instead of the aftermath it appeared in.

There are some more, minor things that can't support this theory very well, such as the appearance of the ushanka, or the fur hat Leshawna wears during the dogsled challenge.

What are your thoughts on this?
