Yes, I was a tiny bit surprised. However, it DID make for some great TV (which I have no doubt TAR was hoping for, just to see what would happen). Plus, it was easy for the teams themselves to see instantaneously: K/V ut Jaime/Cara picture J/C ut Globetrotters picture Seems more fair, so that if either team survived they're not palling around/helping thinking the other team didn't stab them in the back. In the end, TAR really did get some good mileage from the Globetrotters 'you hoo, how's this for a double U-turn?'! I was tickled to see the Redheads exit, frankly. Disclaimer: I seriously LIKE the Globetrotters, even though I also root for the Cowboys & Zev/Justin. So many teams to like, so little time.

Finally watching this episode, and am where Jaimie/Cara's driver stops for gas. Although I understand how someone could get frustrated if their cab driver has to stop for gas, I think they'd be even more livid if they ran out of gas and had to wait for another taxi to come and get them.

I loved Vyxsin's shout out of "Number Five is alive," when they were checked in as the 5th team. I'm assuming that was a shout out to the movie Short Circuit. Although I see from their bio that she was about 4 or 5 years old when the movie first came out. Not gonna miss Jamie/Cara.

Amy, I was surprised as well that they could u-turn someone after they had been u-turned and had not completed the extra task. I read on E-Online that J&K are complaining that K&V's 30 minute penalty wasn't enough and should have been 24 hours.

Many of these penalties appear totally arbitrary. For example, they were penalized for accidentally driving in the wrong direction and missing the flight when there was absolutely no advantage gained by doing that. And why thirty minutes? Most penalties are designed to off-set any advantage gained (e.g. by taking a cab instead of walking to a destination) and may be measured appropriately but in this situation there was no advantage.

I think the 11 hour difference between the flight times is penalty enough, plus the 30 minute difference. Jamie and Cara think that they should have had to wait until the next day's flight that was scheduled at the same time as the previous day's flight. Whiners.

WRT the Globetrotters' cab, it actually turned into a 'bonus' for them. In one of the CBS clips, talking further with Phil at the mat, FT/BE said the next cab had a female driver (they both said her name) and she just knew every place and everything! They were just beaming about it.

WRT - with regard to? I just love the GT's - and the Cowboys, of course! I am ALMOST positive that I heard one of the GT's say "oh, my gravy" at some time during the basketvall game. That pick-up game just so represented all that I like about the guy teams this time around.

Yep Tnt, WRT = with regard to I'm also positive it was one of the Globetrotters yelling "oh, my gravy", it sure wasn't one of the Cowboys. Gave me a big giggle. What also made me laugh was when all the basketball players were wearing way-oversized Harlem GT T-shirts. If you think about it, FT/BE truly make excellent PR ambassadors for the Globetrotters. Just running these races, creates even more fans for the team. They're just such nice & funny guys! I'm so enjoying this race!

So I guess I'm the only one who caught Vyxsin's Number Five Is Alive cheer when they were announced in 5th? Or maybe I'm too old, and nobody remembers Johnny Five.

I didn't make the connection Who. I loved that movie. This has been a great season so far except for the capricious penalties.

I can't think of anything else to connect it to. Vyxsin was probably no older than 5 when the movie came out, but she certainly could have seen it in re-runs on TV. Hard to believe the movie is now 25 years old! I went looking for a Johnny Five emoticon. I Struck out. sigh.

Who, I recognized the shout out to the movie!!! Yes, Vyxsin may have been young when it came out but she probably watched it a lot. Just like I can quote Saturday Night Fever and the Godfather since I have watched them over and over but they came out when I was 4 and not born yet, respectively!!!!

Dogdoc, I thought that was odd too. It is possible they didn't bathe for four days since it was an uber-leg, but don't they sleep and eat on the plane? Plus, she said they had 11 hours to get to Narita Airport in time for the mandatory flight, when it only took 2 hours to actually get there. Is she saying they didn't eat or nap during the NINE hours they waited at the airport for the mandatory flight? That doesn't make sense.

I was watching a dvr'd episode of Harry's Law last night and I could have sworn that was Kent in the Drag Club dancing. Did anyone else notice that??

Many airlines have lounges with showers and places to sleep. If not included with your ticket there is like a 20.00 cost to use it.

Yeah, that's why I'm not buying that J/C didn't "eat AND sleep" for four days.

Not everyone can sleep on a plane or in non-bed places. I expect they napped but didn't sleep sleep. As for food, if they really didn't eat then they're just foolish.

Yeah, but Kitt for part of the leg they were on a train in a sleeper car. There is no way they didn't sleep at all that night.

Friend of mine calls Jamie and Cara 'my people' since I have red hair LOL I am so bummed 'my people' were eliminated. Oregonguy, They are eye candy for me too! LOL and Im not gay (not that theres anything wrong with that) I didnt see M/L getting help from other teams in this ep, they seemed ahead of the pack most of time. I still will never get the hate towards them. I am hoping to go see the winners from lst years race tomorrow and then next month I will see 'my people', M/L and a ton of other reality stars at the Reality Rally in Temecula...Im volunteering for the chartity event. If anyones interested theres a website and FB page RealityRally.com

as far as the train for jamie/cara sleeping, wasnt the train 3 high beds for sleepers on each side?? So your looking at 6 people inside and who knows if they shared it with other racers or regular passengers. if it was regualr passengers then they probably would come in and out and would be talking as well, not exactly conducive for a sounds night sleep. yes pamy my eye candy is gone. cara especially.
