Did Big Easy pee on the grounds of the library?

With all the standard features of the new Ford Focus, why did none of the teams think to use the standard GPS system instead of stopping for a map?

And I was totally disappointed in Flight Time. Peeing right there...in the middle of the court yard...on the building? Hope his mom smacks the crap outta him when he gets home. And I love Big Easy, but I felt that such disrespect was worthy of some sort of penalty.

Nerovh.. you are so right about capricious. I remember when a tornado hit Peru, Indiana.. several homes on the same street with my great aunt and uncle were trashed.. theirs was okay.. but they were deep in rubble.

I imagine they had the GPS system turned off?

Hey finally, Mallory wasn't manic about the next destination when she heard it was cold in Austria.

1 AUTOMATIC U-Turn: A penalty assessed at the beginning of Leg 1 to the last team to find the proper airline tag needed to obtain their flight (first or second) from LAX. The last 3 teams got a second flight due to land 90 minutes behind the first, but the last of those teams has to perform an automatic U-Turn which will force them to perform both options of the first detour. Kris and Amanda were penalized thus in Leg 1. They completed both parts of the detour in Leg 2. While they actually left the detour ahead of others they ended up in last and were eliminated, blaming the u-turn.

2 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Gary and Mallory won the EP in Sydney at the TBC "end" of Leg 1.

Gary and Mallory chose to use the Express Pass in Leg 5 which saved them from the dinosaur building task, where they had arrived last, and put them in second place behind Jet and Cord.

3 At time of TBC on first leg/show, Jet and Cord had not actually completed all tasks required to get to Phil and be declared 11th. They did complete and made the second flight, so benefitted from airport bunching.

TBC To Be Continued.

Leg 1 of this race ended with racers being given a clue and sent on, but first place team Gary and Mallory left with the coveted Express Pass and Kris and Amanda were still to perform their automatic U-Turn.

Leg 4 of this race, at least on the fourth show, ended with racers being sent on with no actual pit stop, and with Zev/Justin still working on the Detour task and Kent/Vyxsin about to have to retrace to the gondola looking for their pack with money and passports, and not yet at the detour. ETA: Zev/Justin came in 8th and Kent/Vyxsin came in 9th (NEL)

P- Leg 3. The Globetrotters arrived 3rd at the Pit Stop and Ron & Christina 4th, but Phil imposed a 30 min. penalty on the Trotters because they took R/C pack and left it in the changing area and didn't tell R/C who lost time looking for it. This moved R/C into 3rd and the Trotters into 4th, but Jen/Kisha arrived within the penalty time so they took 4th and the Trotters were 5th.

Leg 4: Kent and Vyxsin didn't take the designated flight. At the TBC end of Leg 4 they were informed that they would receive a 30 minute penalty at the NEXT Pit Stop (presumably because 30 min at the point of the TBC would be meaningless if they all bunch to take the train back to Kunming.)

At the Pit Stop for Leg 5, Kent and Vyxsin arrived fourth but waited out their 30 minute penalty, so Jen and Kisha moved into fourth, with Kent and Vyxsin taking fifth.

P Leg 3 Mel and Mike didn't complete the detour due to extreme cold.. Mike called it off. And this meant they were last and eliminated.

NEL Non Elimination Leg.
Leg 4 was a non elimination leg.

Leg 8 was a non elimination leg.

How funny about Jet's comment that maybe they could move faster if he just laid on the bed to discuss his feelings to Cord. LOL

Okay, so the cowboys (or at least one of them) isn't quite as uneducated as they come across...if his minor was in psychology I wonder what his major was in?

I'm a little surprised it wasn't a TBC leg instead of a NEL- but that should be the last of either based on the schedule. Glad G/M got a 2nd chance though.

Also not shocked at the Ford Focus stuff- the TAR producers did an online TAR-type show for hulu.com and Ford.

I wasn't at all surprised about the Ford Focus or the Snapple stuff because, as Jeff Probst said, we're going to be seeing a whole lot more product placement because people FF through the commercials.

Csnog-it wasn't Big Easy (Big Guy) that peed outside at the library. It was Flight Time. I was a little taken back by that also. They are my favorite team, but I didn't appreciate that. Next time, find a bathroom!

I still don't have a favorite team, they are all doing so well to me, I don't see a front runner right now.

I thought Herb & Nate were going to drop that couch on the car, yikes. And I liked Vyxsn in this episode, she was trying to be positive, she and Kent always crack me up. I never did think anyone would finish that food, it was a lot, but they all finished the leg. Some big mistake will need to happen for Gary & Mallory to stay, I think they'll be going next, but you never know in this game. Great season, though.

See, the cowboys don't come across and uneducated to me. their accent may make them seem innocent to me, but not uneducated.

And yes, can't believe that Globe took a leak in front of that historical building! Like I tell my child -- when you go by a restroom, sometimes you should go in and go, even if you don't "need" to yet. Surely they passed one in the building!

y'know what? I fell in love with Jet's dimples the first time I saw them, but Cord continues to grow on me!

With them being on the rodeo circuit, surely there is some biographical information out there about them. Don't I remember that Jet is a BIG reader and doesn't have a TV in his home?

Maybe Keisha/Jen told FT/BE not to stop for a bathroom break, no matter what!

Was it me or was that NOT phil's voice for the previews next week???

Also was surprised that half the teams chose the food task. when it said a 12 minute time limit they should have guessed that they would have to eat a lot of food. If you fail then you know your to full to try it again.

What I thought was odd about the food task is, the teams I thought could sail through that task and wolf down the food with no problem (Globetrotters and Cowboys), elected to do the other task instead.

Oregonguy, I also thought it wasn't Phil telling us to stay tuned.

My TAR didn't record for me this week (too many other shows on at the same time), so I had to watch online. How annoying to have to watch commercials every few minutes! And not one, but two commercials per segment. Yuck!!!

I thought Vyxen was the psycho this episode. Kent seemed relatively calm, but she was doing the crazy dance all over his head the whole leg!

Just stumbled in this thread. I'm so glad it wasn't just me that thought it wasn't Phil doing the promos after the April 17 episode for the April 24 episode. I was going to ask the same question, but didn't want y'all to think I was losing my mind.
