Oh, yeah, and agree that you always choose the humiliation task. It's invariably easier than the opposite.
Oh! And how much do I love that Mel brought them in second because of the power of his brane! He read the clue, he paid attention, he didn't just look at what the other teams were doing. He was exhausted, but he didn't slip in concentration and he wailed on them!
I do worry that if Mel and Mike make it to the final four, they'll get held up by the inevitable extra-physical task that awaits them (see: the Bowling Mom rope climbing up that cliff in the Phillipines--watching Colin smoke past her was so sad).
Speaking of suffering from physical tasks, I'm now worried about Maggie next week!
I am not in love with mom and son. The two sisters might be growing on me a bit, but they have been by far the most boring and under-developed storywise.

ESPECIALLY when the alternative involves a needle-in-a-haystack search!

Me too.

Is that her name? You mean the mom, right? At least it looks like she faints on the mat at the end of the leg.
I'm pretty sure there's no way Mel and Mike can actually win, due to the physical-task factor, but still.
Yeah, we were talking about it in our house. That task the stuntmen chose was a) physical, b) navigation (which is where I thought they'd mess up), and c) needle in a literal haystack. Those are all usually killers.
Those are all usually killers.
The only reason they weren't eliminated was the Speed Bump - the blondes were right on their heels coming up to the mat.
Sorry, I meant Marge, not Maggie! (They've got four letters in common--I got confused.)
Oh yeah -- I couldn't bring up what her name was, but Maggie felt wrong. Margie, Maggie, pretty much the same.
My brain was apparently trying to split the difference because I'd originally read it as "Margie" which didn't look quite wrong enough for me to notice!
