The locals did seem especially nasty about the cheese task. I'm just not sure why everyone didn't roll their cheese down the hill -- it didn't seem to matter with the ones they dropped.
I was wondering if the teams were supposed to figure out that they should roll the cheese instead of carrying it. Isn't cheese rolling a thing? You know, in Europe?

It looked to me like the cheeses that rolled went pretty far out of the way, so those teams wound up carrying them about the same distance anyway.
Cheese-rolling is an annual competition in Gloucester, UK in which contestants attempt to beat a wheel of cheese down a dangerously steep hill. It is fracking INSANE. And awesome.
For anyone who missed last night's TAR, the Travel Channel will be showing the Sunday ep on the following Friday at 8:00 eastern time (so, this Friday for yesterday's ep).
Oh yay, thanks for the heads-up.
Of course, Friday has suddenly become a totally booked up tv night itself. Hmm.
Yeah, I have teevee conflict this year. I didn't even notice that Lie to Me was being edged out until someone mentioned it in Natter and I was all, "oh, I haven't seen that since the pilot." Now I have to go figure out what's in its way.

Life and Criminal Minds for me.
Love that Phil signed.
Love that they are back on trains, where being smart and chatting with locals can really change it up and stagger people time-wise.
Happy with who was eliminated although feel sort of bad since it was so close. That's a sad way to lose the first leg.
Tonight's Top Gear was great fun. Three American muscle cars on the road from San Francisco to the Bonneville Salt Flats, with a stopover in Reno and prolonged bitching by James May about his Cadillac not being a typical Caddy and instead trying to be a Merc or BMW. Only when they ventured into the mountain roads of eastern NV did he become a complete convert to his Cadillac. Clarkson loved his Corvette, and Hammond equally adored his Dodge Challenger. Loads of fun, and they didn't spend too much time mocking Americans, like they did on their trek across the South, except for the drunks in the Reno casino, who were eminently mockable.
Wait. A member of SWV is on Survivor??? She cut her nails first, right? Or was that just the other one.
