Biggest "Duh!" moment of the leg - Laurence and Zac getting lost at sea (with map and compass in hand) when Laurence is a PROFESSIONAL sailor, and Zac did his solo around the world??!! Too funny!!

I have several teams I like at this point, top of the list being Andy and Tommy. I love how they are playing smarter than any two other teams combined. I adore Amani and Marcus - such a sweet couple and loving people - but I'm afraid they may not last too long - the physical challenges really beat them down. I also like Bill & Cathi, especially for the entertainment value. I'd love to have them as next-door-neighbors - great sense of humor, those two!

Does anyone know how long Marcus has been retired? It has always been my understanding that football is pretty darn strenuous!

From what I have heard, and I think I heard it from the football players on expedition, it is strenuous in short bursts. when they have to run for a while they aren't as good at it.

I had to laugh at how they were all pronouncing Phuket. Isn't it more commonly pronounced "Foo-ket"? Thailand is so beautiful! All I could think was, "Thai food!" Mmmmmm!!! How cute was Cathi "enjoying the view" when Bill was up on that rock? Sweet!

Yes, it is BJM. I'm surprised they didn't get bleeped out when they were pronoucing Phuket.

Problem for professional atheletes - less incentive to maintain fitness. They are so used to eating to support hours of exercise they don't decrease the caloric intake. This contributes to fat gain (and muscle lost). Unless they get involved with fitness in another manner. Same thing happens to former Biggest Loser contestants - if they are no longer in the public eye, they slack away from the lifestyle that helped them lose weight so dramatically and some (if not all) of the lost weight returns.

There is a savory Vietnamese soup called "pho" that is a staple of that cuisine. It is pronounced like the "fu" in "fun," but that is never the pronunciation "help" given! Can you guess the other word?

In French the word for seal is pronounced just like the f word in english. It is a shock the first time you hear it.

I've really gotten into the show this season and there is not a single team that I dislike. My favorites are the snowboarders, but there is something I like and admire about every team.

Hermione, I agree the "dudes" are definitely my favorite team this year. They so remind me of the hippies. I guess if there was a person I didn't care for, it would be Cindy. She's way too controlling. Her fiancé seems nice - hopefully he will run far, far away.

She definitely fits the driven Asian stereotype and she's admitted as much. I give her points for self-awareness. They seem to be a good match, though, as far as I can tell. He seems to roll with her control issues pretty well. Maybe he needs someone like that!

Maybe so, but control freaks... well... they freak me out.

Hahahaha, Lexie! Personally, I could never be with one either. Although it might help, since I am a total scatterbrain.

Pippin - Is that "seal" as in the animal or "seal" as in the Seal of State? I didn't think it was in the proper form to be a verb? Thankfully, neither definition is a common noun!

Been saying that for a couple episodes, the snowboarders are just like the hippies. Nice, helpful, ENJOYING the experience. That's the team I always want to win.

Also they are smarter than I was expecting! I know, I know - my bad for making assumptions based on their lifestyle -
