Daylight Savings (Spring Forward) time, so set the clocks, swap out the smoke detector batteries... & get ready to watch our Special Sunday Event. Amazing Race This is the Most Stupid Day Ever (Lijiang, China) Oh my! This is just what Ron/Christina have been waiting for, with their "secret weapon". Since they both speak fluent Chinese, they expect to blow everyone away. But, still I'm not betting on that - even Chinese taxi drivers can get a flat tire. Although, if R/C get their first 1st Place Win, guess I should be a little charitable. They have been working hard too. Be NICE Bisc, be nice!

Don't get me wrong. Christina is a sweetheart with an 'almost albatross' around her neck. Ron can get a bit intense at times.

But remember a Chinese brother/sister team had trouble speaking Chinese because of the different dialects. They laughed and said their parents would be upset with them.

I don't think R/C are going to last long. They look like they're about to implode. The promos showed some kind of trouble with Ron (I think) driving and Christina falling out of the car. Hopefully she didn't get hurt. Though it could be wishful thinking--love me some cowboys!

Marge had such a sour look on her face as Phil told them about winning a trip to Aruba. Then she got really mad that they are still racing. I hope they go soon

Why the heck did Mallory help Luke after I saw L/M deliberately not answer Mallory a couple of weeks ago when she asked them what flight they were on? It's funny that the two of them get so muc help but rarely ever give any.

Kent is rapidly approaching sainthood in my eyes - I would have hit the end of my patience rope long ago with that gal!

I agree with Tnt about Kent. King of patience. Ron was so funny tonight in his insistence on eating all the time, and Christina made it even funnier by being so exasperated with him. It was like role reversal...Ron became a child and Christina was mothering him. I know Luke is a grown man, but sometimes he acts like a 13 year old. And why was Margie so sour-faced when they won the trip to Aruba? Hmmm. Seeing all of their faces when they were told that they were still racing was priceless. Doing all that physical work at that altitude had to be exruciating; then thinking you're done for the day only to find out that you're not?? Great stuff. But I remember when I first saw Phil and the mat, I thought to myself "the clue didn't say pitstop"...so they really shouldn't have thought it was the pitstop. The people that chose the horn detour option made a mistake, IMO. Pounding that candy looked fun. If I was on this race, I would pay so much attention to detail, nothing of mine would ever get lost or left behind. But I can't really judge since I've never been in that situation. Vyxsin's had a really bad few days, but I think Kent's might've been worse.

ITA Tnt whoa Vix was rattled!!! Kent kept his cool despite it all UNTIL he left his fanny pack on the gondola. Kent truly has the patience of a saint But even saints can only endure so much distraction. I enjoyed Zev this episode and was cracking up at how many times the guide had to tell him no. I felt bad for Zev but it was so funny to me when eventually the guide sat down because it was taking Zev sooooo long lol I never realized how cute Yak's are. I want a Yak ride over that beautiful waterfally step thing.
