Very sorry to see the nice older couple go, and so frustrated the yelling nasty lawyers didn't.
I'm really surprised that the lawyer wasn't disqualified for breaking up the VCR instead of taking it apart (I hope he gets a nasty infection in his hands), and I wonder if the local judge was afraid of him. Darn Vietnamese hospitality....
Stupid poker players.
I think this about sums it up.
Man, that was rough. It was pretty clear when the couple got to the roadblock that they were way behind, but I kept hoping Asshat Lawyer would be stuck in traffic or something.
I'm still peeved generally about the lack of choice in transportation options of the past several seasons. I get that permits to film on buses and trains are tricky and expensive, but UGH, taxis.
I wish they drove themselves more often, but that's really tough in places that don't use the Roman alphabet on signs.
Tom Tom and the other GPS companies really should buy a sponsorship for one episode where they have the use of one to navigate by -- showing off how easy(er) it makes it.

That would be a product placement I could get behind! Really, anything that gets them OUT OF THE FRACKING TAXIS.
If I had to guess, though, I'd say the state of the auto industry is making it harder to get free cars for the teams to drive these days.
Oh, reading the thread for episode one over on TWOP somebody commented on the Poker Players being recognized - that they couldn't even bluff their way out of that. Seriously. And yet, they really thought that they could bluff their way through their entire run on the race?
Did anyone watch the Next Iron Chef premiere?
Oh my, it's the Battle of the Blades results show! They're recapping things that I missed, so yay! This is soooo Canadian cheesy, eh!
Ha, Abby, that's awesome! That's totally a show I would watch. Who are some of the hockey players? People I would know?
TAR: OMG, why, lawyers! Also, hilarious at them rushing madly around waving a bullet at people. I really hope there's some producer with a translator trailing around after them to explain them to the bemused locals. I would be so alarmed if someone rushed up to me and pushed a bullet into my hand.
It didn't seem like the losing couple took that long at their challenge, although maybe it was the edit. And I was surprised they didn't ask someone sooner about the word.
I would so watch Battle of the Blades.
Dancing With the Stars: Tom Delay needs to stop shaking his hips. Immediately.
My eyes! My eyes!
