I was amazed that woman didn't know Chekhov, but knew enough about Russian to get it on the first (?) try.
Also, I kind of want to punch Victor in the face still, and am reminded of his smug, "I mean, who doesn't know Chekhov??"
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

He is smug but I also have a hard time not being judgey about this too! (But, if I were in the race, I'd be happy about the other teams being ignorant!)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Me too. I had pretty much the same reaction, so I can't really blame him for the thought.

OK, I was judgey about it too, but I still didn't like his attitude! Apparently I am rooting against someone after all...

He actually gained ground with me for that one because I was so aghast that nobody did.
(And it never occured to me that Luke would have that much trouble, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense - he can't "sound it out" in his head the way the other guessing teams could.)
Yeah, totally.

Oh, and another thing I liked about yesterday's episode--the opening credits! This is the first time I've ever seen them put in shots from the first few legs for each team's introduction, which is a great idea.

I just found out that the nephew of a friend here is the logistical coordinator for Amazing Race. He can't share any information before it airs, but still - so cool.

I'd love to hear his stories about past races. Like what really happened after the mom and son lost their passports and stuff last season.
I'd be good and not even ask for hints about the current one. At least, I would try to be good.
Will have to find a way to snag an invite next time he is in town.
