Michael & Kevin are last. Non-elimination leg. Dad cries, "I'm sorry." They will have to complete a speed bump. So proud of Dad. Nice ending.

I haven't been a fan of the tattooed couple all season. They are probably my least favorite of the teams.

Thanks for the spoiling, Puzzled! Good show tonight. They seem to be coming up with more interesting challenges this season. I thought that the Doctors were doomed when they fell that far behind. Tough time for Kevin's Dad but I'm happy he kept going and they get another chance. Kevin seems to be getting a little gentler and more appreciative of his Dad. Nick got into a terrible mood there and was pretty mean. At least he finally got out of it and was a bit nicer by the finish but he didn't do himself proud on this leg of the race.

I was really worried about the doctors when that cabbie just refused to turn around. And more cabbie trouble too.. they had to be fast in a couple of tasks to catch up.. of course it will remain to be seen from the start times how close they were to the team ahead.. and to Kevin and Michael. Was happy Dad and Son lived to run another day, too. I think they will really enjoy renovating the schools. We'll see if Nick is truly learning something or if he just goes off and then apologizes later.. but he sure was insufferable tonight for the most part.

Puzzled, thanks for the great spoiling! With so many things happening simultaneously, you really did a remarkable job of it!!! Don't think I've EVER been so happy to see a Non-Elimination night in all my years of watching TAR! Michael & Kevin are in this race for all the right reasons, not just the money. I'm so proud the Dad didn't give up, it was pretty clear that he was in rough shape. What really fried me was watching the one lady running ahead of her guy. As they were giving up on finding the 'decoder chart' she looked back shouting something at him. She was looking STRAIGHT back at the chart behind him on the other side of the building - and STILL missed it. I bet a LOT of teams were watching tonight's episode and feeling like Bozo's. Great show tonight!!

Puzzled... great job thanks!! your are amazing how you keep the names straight while trying to spoil for us! I too was happy that it was a non-elimination leg. I am so ready for Nick and Vicky to go... (mostly Nick) as well as Chad and Stephanie (mostly Chad) both guys seem to have anger issues.

Even though it was a Non-Elim, CBS still gives us a Youtube. Looks like they're having fun. Nice housemates, nice setting, sweet scenes of Birthmom & Daughter getting to know each other: The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via Ghana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTBNELjyZps

Didn't Brook and Claire come in first last week, not second? Why are there two second place finishers listed for last week but no first?

Karen (and any Canadians that aren't able to see tonight's Elimination Station YT): Basically, Audie & Jenna come downstairs both in their white cotton socks. Going to be given a Salsa dance lesson by Ron & Tony. Telling us that Ron (lighter weight guy) is a professional dancer & singer on Broadway for many years. Also Tony (heavier guy) spent many years in musical theater and drama, so they're very fortunate to have an opportunity to learn from such talent. Andie is concerned because she hasn't danced in over 20yrs. Pretty funny when Ron is showing/telling the women to swing their hips. 'Andies husband will be so proud of her' he says 'because she learned the moves on a Detour on TAR' and she's really trying to swing those hips in her dress. Lots of laughter & hugs all around. Then they show Audie & Jenna sitting on the edge of the pool. Discussing all their genetic similarities. Same double joints, foot size, same height, same SAT scores. How Jenna is happy with her family that was selected. It was sweet. The.End. I thought so all along but Ron & Tony are really lighthearted, bubbly happy guys. They will make Elim Sta a pleasant place no matter who comes along. Dang, I sure wish I could have seen them go further in the race though.

I loved the comments Chad made about the children in Ghana . . the innocence and joy that kids bring, no matter where they are from in the world or what's going on around them. I was happy to hear that the contestants were going to donate some time to make improvements at the school.

Chad came across as very likable this week. I really wasn't a huge fan of his (or hers) up to this point. I would love it if TAR would show us 1 minute of footage from them working on the school. This is a new aspect to the show that should be celebrated. Yay TAR!

I really wish CBS would stop with the "go to our web site to see cool crap" and instead show the footage on a real TV show. Like a half hour a week. If it's cool enuf to record, it's cool enuf to share. I won't go to CBS's web site to look at the elim folks for TAR or Survivor. Maybe if they did a half hour show each week, I'd record and watch it...

Puzzled, last week Yankee gave excellent responses to our same question: Yankee_in_ca, Sunday, October 03, 2010- 9:42pm (per earlier convo re why videos get blocked, it primarily has to do with complying w/ broadcasting rules in other countries. CBS and other nets are only able to broadcast in the country(ies) they have permits to do so. In Canada's case, CRTC rules are very particular. And video on websites is broadcasting)" "Karen - I figured you did. It's just that I have read here, and elsewhere, that Canadians think that American networks somehow don't respect them by not showing their stuff there, but it's really the Canadian laws that prohibit it, most often.)"

Costa, it's cool enough to record, but it's not cool enough to buy network broadcast time and sell adspace to air it. It's much cheaper to broadcast online.

I don't understand, Biscotii. After all, the shows are broadcast in both countries, so they must have permits in both countries. ITV won't let people outside of the UK see their videos, but they've explained it's because of the expense. However, how much expense is it from, say Montreal to Burlington?

The expense has to do with an entire globe of people accessing videos on a web site, versus just the people within a country. Hosting streaming video takes up a lot of space and requires a lot of bandwidth. It has nothing to do with the distance. Assuming copyright issues are resolved, natch.
