I'm over Margie & Luke. Margie's "They were making fun of the way he communicates!" speech would be a whole lot more compelling if she'd ever bothered to learn one word of the local language in ANY of the places they'd traveled to. (That goes for all the teams, including T&V - how hard is it to grab someone on the plane and learn Hello, Please and Thank You???)
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no shit.
I would have memorized common words in the top 10 languages of the world before I left on TAR.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And there have definitely been teams in the past who learned stuff from books in the airport -- they always have time sitting around, so why not use it.

EXACTLY. Or if you don't want to bother getting releases from people, buy a cheapo phrase book.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Remember, we're seeing a highly edited version of what they do, so all four teams could be chattering away in bunches of situations that we never see.
I felt bad for Kisha -- all the teams are hitting their breaking points, which was last week for Jen, and Luke and Margie too. And arguably T&V's bad attempts at the diving were also symptomatic.
(And points to Tammy for thinking ahead and taking swimming lessons. I bet she also brushed up on her stick shift skills....)
Is this the only season where the final four teams are all blood relatives? I find myself liking all of them, though some more than others. :-)

I didn't think the cheerleaders were blood relatives. Although, that might explain a lot.

Oh, damn, you're right. I was thinking of Mel and Mike, and the stuntmen brothers. D'Oh!

The cheerleaders just have the same hair color.
