Great minds think alike. Everytime I saw Nick on the screen tonight, I was thinking the same word that starts with "D". lolol. I cannot stand that man, I hope Vicki breaks up with him and he goes to find Flo from TAR 2.

Great spoiling as always, Raen - Thank you! Yikes ~ My word for everytime I saw Nick began with a GIANT "A". And to top it off, he isn't even eliminated! At one point he said he wished he'd never done the race because of the stress. What an ungrateful GIANT "A"! You know how many people would trade places with you - you GIANT "A"?! Please, Vicki, find someone who is a grown-up. You deserve better! I could never be partners with someone like Brook either. While I usually enjoy her, she really can not get past that Claire is not a marathoner like herself. Go Kat and Nat!

Dammit! I so wanted Nick to go home and leave Vicki to run by herself. Vicki has been sucking it up and doing the challenges like a trooper. I believe they are supposed to have a LOT of smog in those cities, probably really contributing to her asthma problems! Meanwhile Nick never stops whimpering and whining. Wendy Whiner all the time, when he's not being verbally abusive. I hope all his buddies back home watching this are 'suitably impressed'! I've also had a belly full of Brook's cutesy-ness. Does the woman EVER shut up? Must have been even harder trying to concentrate on finding the fake sushi while dollbaby was hamming it up all over the restaurant. Nat & Kat, I'm rooting for your win!!!!

Vicki and ICK, er Nick.. what a downer he is. After she went through all that eating and barfing he cannot even just sit in a sampan and look for numbers? SICK.

Jill and Thomas won the EP when they came in first in Leg 1 and they used the EP in Leg 4 to proceed to pitstop without completing the last task. NEL Non Elimination Leg. Leg 3 Michael and Kevin came in last/ninth but will continue to Leg 4 where they will have to perform a Speed Bump Leg 6 Nick and Vicki came in last/seventh but will continue to Leg 7 where they will have to perform a Speed Bump (which we never saw on the show and which reportedly was not ever done because of some glitch with the piano detour when the team was told "nyet" when they were indeed correct.) Leg 10 Nick and Vicki came in last/fourth (with a 6 hour penalty too) and will have to complete a speed bump in the next leg. P Leg 7 - Michael and Kevin came in sixth but incurred TWO 30 min penalties. This moved them to seventh and they were out of the race. Chad and Stephanie came in seventh, incurred ONE 30 minute penalty which allowed them to move to sixth place and stay in the race. P Leg 8 - Jill & Thomas arrived first at the pit stop but incurred a 30 minute penalty for hiring and following a cab. They dropped from first to second place. P Leg 10 - Nick quits during detour, then Vicki quits with no help from him, so they accept a 6 hour penalty and get directions to Pit Stop.

I just want to say that I met Flo at the one TAR party I attended and everyone there defended Flo saying she was really sweet but had bad dysentery at then end of the race and was running on gumption, had very little strength. ETA apparently dysentery is a regular problem on this show, I remember and interview with the sisters, Peaches was one, and the woman was being mocked by people who saw the show because she could not drink some herbal tea, but she said with every sip she had to run to a primitive bathroom. I heard other dysentery stories, but can't remember just now.

I wish that Nick had been eliminated tonight. Such a waste of a Non elimination Leg. But I think they should have had to wait the 6-hour penalty before checking in at this pit stop.

The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via Hong Kong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGUKleog8wo I may have to wait until tomorrow to write up a summary. I had a super busy day today and really tired. But quick comment, Chad & Stephanie call in. Later it shows them packing and guessing where End City will be.

I really hope there's no bunching up at the next leg. I want that 6 hour penalty to really count and get him Philiminated! What a poor sport, poor partner, and total whiner. I hope she's kicked him to the curb by now. She deserves much better!

Nick seemed ready to give up as soon as they didn't make the first bus and then the ferry.. and was suggesting they take the 4 hour penalty and then did take the 6 hour. So sad for Vicki.

I could feel my anger for him boiling as I was watching. I was so hoping she'd stick it out and find the clue, then not speak to him for the rest of the race. He's even more sour than that crybaby with the devil horns for hair from a few seasons back.

This is a jaw dropping clip, shocking. Seems that Nick and Vicki also had a tough time getting to the Pit Stop as well. Vicki was sweet (the more I see of her the more I like) feeling bad that she snapped at a taxi driver after the 3rd driver didn't know where they were going. Nick says (seriously!!) he doesn't like the people of Hong Kong "because, to be honest with you, they're rude." They're pushy people... Language Barrier http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/video/?pid=cbCp0CkLDifxbsWrbUKDP_7o9eTAmIoF&vs=Default&play=true Now, if I had someone come up to me on the street looking hostile & bad attitude body language, (yelling at his lady) like Nick always seems to do, dang straight I wouldn't help him either.

Bonbon, that struck me too about the penalty. As far as I can remember, the penalty was always taken before checking in at the pit stop. Why is this penalty being carried over to the next leg? While I DO NOT like Nick, fair is fair, and the rules should be the same each time.

TNT, I'm assuming the reason the penalty is being taken at the start of the next leg is because they were last and it really wouldn't have made sense to give them a 6-hour penalty before checking in. When Rob and Amber took the penalty for not eating the meat, they had teams behind them that were also taking the penalty.

N/V were the last to check in. No one coming in after them. But they'll start the next leg six hours + after team before them leaves.

They couldn't make them wait out the penalty because it rea;lly would mess up Phil and the crew. They have to catch the next flight out to get ahead of the pack to go to each destination and film Phil saying what the task will be and such. If they made them wait it out before checking in Phil may be flying with the first couple of teams. Although I have heard that has happened in the past it is not wanted by production.

It used to be a 24 hour penalty for not doing either part of a Detour- not 6. The problem is this; if there is an airport/train station/operating hours/etc. bunching point next week (and since they're going to another country, it's likely), it will negate most if not all of that part of the penalty completely (though they'd still have their Speed Bump to do). If that doesn't happen, it's a fait accompli they'll be eliminated unless one of the other three teams makes a huge blunder or does something like quit a Roadblock and take the 4 hour penalty, which makes for a boring show.

I am confused. Does the 6 hour penalty start being counted when they say "We quit"? If they had quit sooner would they leave sooner the next day?

Thanks Lexie. Would they tell them where the pit stop was at that point and they still had to get there?

When they quit the task, production tells them where the pit stop is and they continue on to the pit stop. It is the same as if they had completed the task and were continuing on. So they still have to find the pit stop and get there. And yes if they had given up on the task earlier then they would have got to the pit stop sooner. Nick is a really mixed bag of emotions. He feels that Vicki brings out the best in him and he freely admits that he has issues with temper and frustration. He gets angry at Vicki for running slowly and then later on just wants to give up. The frustrating thing about them giving up is the task wasn't that demanding. Remember the woman who kept searching through hay bails until she was totally exhausted and Phil finally told her they had been eliminated? Now that was demanding. Relaxing in a boat looking for numbers just isn't that demanding a task.

Whether they were 1st or last shouldn't change the way the penalty's are enforced. Yah, it might mess up Phil's schedule... but heck, this is a race for a million dollars. It could affect the outcome if there is a bunch up during the next leg. (not that I am a fan of Nick's but I think they should enforce the rules fairly)

The only difference though would be the comfort factor. If they applied it at the end of this leg, they would have to sit out there by the pit stop for six hours rather than presumably going to their hotel room. Time wise it works out the same regardless of whether it is applied at the end of this leg or the beginning of the next. So if they were allowed to go to a hotel, then that is a big advantage for Nick and Vicki and rather unfair to the other teams. ETA: I'm not sure how Phil's schedule would be any less messed up either way. He still has to be there to check them in and send them on their way, which means that Phil has to leave considerably more than six hours behind the leading teams.

Lots of flights from Hong Kong to Seoul- so no bunching.
