Roxip, that's the one. She was missing for a long time and was found by a fishing boat. It took quite a while for her to get back home and Laurence was shopping a movie or reality show before she got home. She was still on some remote island (where the fishing boat was from) waiting for someone to come and get her while he was talking to the media about doing a movie about her trip or perhaps a reality show about their interesting family. Never liked him, feel sorry for the kids, but still do not like him at all.

Apparently he made his directing debut on the documentary that he has made of her trip.

Interesting.. I hadn't connected him to the daughter.. He does seem a bit full of himself and I had to laugh when he was bragging about Zac's navigational skills when they just didn't read the clue and went zooming off in the wrong direction at sea. I was a little sad that they ended up following someone else who DID read the clue and then of course outran them on land. I think historically, cab or taksi or whatever drivers in various countries can be totally inconsistent, making the hiring of drivers one of the key places on this race where a team can succeed or fail. And some drivers go above and beyond.. as the twins found out.. or like the driver who took the picture for Amani and allowed her to review it as she placed her items. I wonder if someday they will ban the use of cameras like that for some tasks. Clearly they are not allowed to bring those devices with them, it would seem. But it was quite clever of her to think of it.

Cab drivers' phones have been used for finding directions, calling travel agencies, making airline reservations, etc. so I would think that taking pictures is totally legit! I think both Amani and her guy are prety darn smart and competitive!

I'm sure Amani and Marcus are very intelligent, but wasn't it Justin and Jennifer who used the cabdriver's phone?

Roxi, yes...and if I'm not mistaken, it was Jennifer's idea.

Yes, so hopefully Justin gave her props, since he has been so critical of her in the past! This leg sure did switch up the teams, didn't it? FWIW, I think Cathi and Bill were happy at the pit stop because an "older" team who had been at the back of the pack was #1, and they were #2. After trailing at the back for the first couple of legs I'm sure it was a great feeling to be up near the front.

I stand corrected! Jennifer should get the credit for a very clever move!

Haven't these people watched this show before? It was a no-brainer they would have to put the temple back together.

Ohh, props to Jennifer if that was here.. sorry, when I'm taking notes I'm just glancing up now and then and I do keep mixing people up. Guess I gave the wrong credit because Marcus and Amani had such a great result. And I feel the last two episodes we've seen Jennifer also redeem herself attitude wise and she and her brother seem to be working well together.

Because this is so outside of most peoples' experience, it may be that it takes some people a while to "hit their stride."

I admire people who are able to watch and spoil at the same time...hope you don't mind me adding my corrections...certainly don't mean to be rude or dismiss your efforts. It is HARD to catch everything even when you aren't trying to spoil at the same time...I think you all do a great job.

I gave credit to Amani rather than Jennifer, also. I was giving a recap from memory, which is always likely to get me into trouble!

Mak1 - hugs! Have you watched TAR Australia and/or China Rush? Both were fabulous shows! I hope to see te finale of CR tomorrow at the library. Then I am moving on to TAR Latino! There are no English subtitles to this one so my Spanish will get a real work-out! CR is beautifully subtitled, however!

Oh yeah Mak1! China Rush was one HUMMER of a race! Challenges so hard but creative, not that difficult really to understand language-wise. What a race, for a change I was actually rooting all three teams in the finale!! BTW we just added China Rush to the Australian thread.

Then the China Rush links are off the Australia thread - The CR tapes are exceedingly well subtitled! Both of these are great shows with very likable racers!
