Where is Reader234 who used to do the wonderful, spot on spoiling for TAR? Anybody know? I read some spoilers on RFF and they were right the first leg on eliminations. But, there is too much to wade through with a couple hundred posts.

It seems to me that the "Look Up" challenging was kind of hard. They had red and yellow balloons instead of stripes. I'm surprised anyone figured it out.

It would appear that at least one of the Vegas gals does not deal with adversity well!

I have to hand it to the older couple - they sure "kept on keeping on!"

Interesting article about that incident...

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/twitters-amazing-race-assist/

So basically this guy saved both the Hazard and the Double elimination twists....

I was so glad the "older"couple were not eliminated; the lady nailed the saying at the temple on the 1st try; did anyone else do that ?
I would have loved to beat the drum with the rowing team.

At first I thought TPTB had a hand in getting the passport to them but I guess I have to trust the reports that it wasn't them LOL! So cynical, I am.

I think I might have been in the same boat as the older couple. Those signs and all the colors in the town would have had me fooled.

I didn't think the reciting of the saying was that difficult. Shame on all of them for struggling so much. I always say one of the best traits people can have is the ability to listen!

Memorizing and listening are connected but not to the extent that it brings on shame. One should be thankful that they have the ability to memorize instantly.

Memorizing for me is somewhat visual, not being able to write things down I believe was a downfall for some.

I think when people can't remember 2 lines that were just said to them it's a shame ;).

Listening skills are important in life....well maybe they were just too nervous and faltered.

Plus, Lilfair, they were in a very, very hot and humid environment. That would have finished me, for sure. I probably couldn't even have recited my own name.

The only way I can memorize is to see it written and then write it myself. Listening doesn't quite do it for me. Also, it seemed that the connection was fuzzy. From what I could hear, it wasn't clearly stated, but sounded like a cell phone message with background noise.

I tried to repeat it to myself several times (and I got to see it written down) and it was still difficult, especially since it was somewhat of a tonguetwister...but that monk was such a sweetie! I think stress and being tired also had a great deal to do with their inability to recite the line, not to mention (in those twins' instance) having somebody browbeat you about it! I think the twins and the Vegas showgirls should travel together...they deserve one another!

Dipo, no one! It was a non-elimination leg.

LOL, I guess remembering the lines was harder than it looked.

I always root for the "elders" and I was so disappointed when Bill and Kathy came in last, BUT then it was a non elimination round yea but next week is dbl elimination I hope that they are able to squeak by just one more leg. I think the odds might be against them because they'll have an additional road block. I'm so happy this show is on again!

Sigh. I think I get to thank CBS yet again for recycling contestants from other shows. Until the two Survivor winners (who, oh yeah, already WON $1M EACH!!!) are eliminated, I'm just not gonna watch. I'm really not happy with the recycling of contestants. Really, they can't find REAL PEOPLE who want to play? REALLY?

Did you see Ethan and Jenna on Survivor? I think Ethan is one of the most "normal"/REAL person I've ever seen on a reality show! The fact that he has come back from some major league cancer impresses the hell out of me, and I'm enjoying watching him compete again. Neither of them were camera hogs, and last night they were edited like every other group - even less camera time than most, actually.

All that to say, I'm watching Phil every chance I get! :-)

There are people who have difficulty processing information when it is only spoken. If a person talks too long to me, I can hear them and see their lips moving, but my brain processes the words only as sounds and not words. I had to tape all lectures in college so I could stop the tape at intervals to write down what was said. I could not have done that telephone task. Also could not bungee jump off a building so guess I won’t be trying out for AR : - )

Didn't Ethan give a significant portion of his money away to his soccer association for the children in Africa?

I'm sure that there have been many contestants on The Amazing Race who were significantly more wealthy and either Ethan or Jenna ever dreams of being...but do we complain that they are in the Race?
