They were drunker this week--they had to be completely hammered by the time Steve and Linda showed up.

Gosh yes.

I couldn't believe that 14 hour plus timeframe it took for this week's leg to end.

I'm guessing that the directionally challenged teams will be next on the chopping block. (Seriously - the blondes have been incredibly lucky and the sisters and brothers also really need to sharpen their map reading skills.)

I loved the pie challenge. And I think that Tammy and Victor revealed an unexpected sense of humor in that challenge.

Oh, RS: INXS related - have you guys been reading about the current drama with JD?

He says he was fired and abandoned at an airport the former INXS manager/new INXS record label boss says that didn't happen.

What Chris Murphy said and JD's interview with ET Canada.

And the Mom and deaf son a suprising lack thereof. Well, the son, anyway.

I think Luke was coming from the angle of "don't go for the needle-in-a-haystack detour, because it could take forever to find it," like the pizza brother back in TAR5 who couldn't find the right chocolate filling and was stuck at the factory for hours.

The pie throwers, though, had a lot fewer pies to get through, so he was a bit off on that call, and Segways can be difficult to learn to ride properly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was a fun ep! Mel White always makes me happy -- and I loved how they were like, Segway! Totally our thing!

I was glad that couple was out, because she clearly couldn't take much more. I felt terrible for her that she was so scared of her husband's reaction to her getting lost, because he was really not mad. It did make me wonder about their relationship/her history.

Oh, and I thought the contrast between Luke and mom and the lawyer siblings was interesting: the sister basically ceded final decision-making to her big brother, and seemed fine with it, while Luke could not stop rolling his eyes about his mother's decision, but still went along with it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I didn't watch the ep, but just read the recap on cbs. I pegged Luke as full of drama from ep 1, so that will not really surprise me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sumi,

thank you for the RS link. I knew JD was bad news, and that interview segment sure brings the crazeeeee.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

BTW, so I'm watching TAR today. I was traveling on Sunday and this was my opportunity to watch it online. I watch it on CBS and things are going along just fine until the last 5 minutes when the video restarts from the beginning.

So I have to go back and resize my browser and restart the video. As I'm doing this, I notice the video on the bottom of the page (I had not noticed it before) advertising the losing couple's interview online.

WTF CBS? Do you really need that kind of spoiler on the episode page?
