Also, not realizing that the city London is in the country England?

Wait, what?!? I'm so glad I don't watch this show anymore.

Not like they were even in London! She is incredibly stupid, but again, they seem to be able to do things as a team.

I was sad about the eliminated team.

I was sad about the eliminated team, too. They were awesome! Just bad luck, I guess, because they did seem to work together well, and they were incredibly even-tempered.

Me too, but they seemed to lack a sense of urgency once they got to England. At the outset I had them pegged as going all the way.

They always seem to have one team of intelligent people who are eliminated because of something really stupid. *sigh*

It's a tough race, and with the overnight flight and all, the teams are running out of adrenaline, brains, and any sense of direction and map-reading they may once have possessed.

I was appalled as anyone at Team Tattoo's knowledge of the world, but they seem to have figured out the coracle crossing with little trouble compared to most -- note how they balanced mostly by lying down.

Don't forget the driving task was made more difficult by having everything on the opposite side. (Or are the foot pedals not switched?) Even if you've thought ahead and taken standard lessons, that could be one hell of a challenge.

Wait, who said that?

And who was eliminated?

Goddamn football effed up the recording AGAIN! ARGH!

I just saw TAR and I don't have much to add to the discussion except I just about died at the editors and Phil when the tattoo team checked in.

So Phil says to them "Welcome to England" and the woman says, "London is the country!" or something like that. Phil deftly dodged halting production and asking the producers why such a dimwit was cast on the race, but instead seemed to pause a bit and ask: "where do you think you are?"

Which made me die laughing because I figured, Phil was just going to fuck with them for a minute. Her partner answered "10th." Damn. The editors must have cut out Phil's real reaction to the woman who thought London was a country.

Oh, wow. Yikes. I'm not sure I can watch any more.

Who lost?

The African-American all-guys team. The big guy on the team was talking about how his MBA smarts would come into play, but his navigation skills seem to suck, since they got majorly lost on their way to Stonehenge.
