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.

it really is because under no conditions should any team be beaten by the tattoo couple.

This. They didn't stop to ask for directions until too late, only to discover that they were going the wrong direction. Tony had a map, but didn't seem to be able to find where they were. He even said "I'm seeing what you are seeing" while looking out the window.
My brother lives in north Yorkshire, and with the exception of the tiny country roads around his house, the highways are pretty clearly marked and relatively easy to navigate (roundabouts freak me out though). We drove from Harrogate to Inverness and back and had no trouble.

I also approved the episode because the contestants had an actual "clue" to figure out, challenges that didn't depend much on strength, and so on.
I'm not sure what a good idea that "free pass" was, though at least the team that got it seem to be non-obnoxious.

The main thing I'm liking about the Free Pass is that it's a one-time-only thing, so using it will be based on strategy, especially since it can't be used after the 8th leg.

Is the "Free Pass" like the original "Fast Forward"(i.e., there is one every leg, not just a couple over the whole race) so that most teams have a chance to use it?

Because books.
No, I think the Free Pass was a one-time thing for the one team who won it.
I like the reunited bio mom/daughter team, simply because of the awww factor, and the acapella guys, because they're funny. The LA actors were another favorite, until they bombed. Oh, and the doctors! They're pretty cool.

I had big plans to catch up on TAR last night only to be thwarted by the football delay! I'll have to find time to watch it online.

I just watched last weeks Just Desserts and there was so much drama I had to fast forward through large chunks of it.
