You can have barely any water in the kettle and it will steam and make it whistle. If you have a tea kettle try it! I'm guessing many people don't have them. I still have one because it's cute -- it looks like a fish and was a housewarming gift. I don't use it because it's starting to rust, but I still have it on my stove because it's adorable.

Exactly (what Brenda said) - the clowns, or anybody, could have made their kettle whistle in a couple minutes instead of 45, which I read somewhere that one of the teams said.

Glad my favorites are still racing, though the clowns didn't make it. Rooting for Mary & Jamie and also Mark & Bopper now... Funny the 'federal agent' gals pose as school teachers and the clever good ole boys pose as 'rednecks'for reasons unknown...

For reasons like Brendon immediately "disliking" one team simply because they are border patrol. On many of these shows people ARE ostracized due to what they do, or perceived (or real) wealth, or past success and that actually can cause other teams to obstruct them or not help them or even U Turn them. So I can see wanting to come in as a neutral. Interesting in the exit interview that these clowns knew the other clowns and actually ended up having to wait for years because the other clowns ran the race already.

I don't think the rednecks are posing as rednecks...I think they are! LOL...they're fun to watch.

Mods, when you have a minute, the AR button still shows the teams from last season. Thanks!

The Border Patrol guy who jumped from the plane was more scared than any of the women who jumped. One of the Border patrol team called the Empanada judge a "Nazi". They whined and carried on about coming in second on leg 2 like it was the end of the world. Not sure what the strategy is in helping the frontrunner team who is smart and athletic only to come in behind them. LOL So, I would not cannonize them for sainthood yet. They are my least favorite team.

The theory was to position the dish for maximum sun. They had to use the entire bottle of water provided, so if your dish was not positioned correctly it would take longer to whistle. I also am not exactly liking the border agents but tend to skip over what racers say and do unless it's blatant, because I know they edit what they want us to see. I love AR for many things other than the racers except for strategy and if they use their brain to get ahead. After all, it's a race for a large amount of money.

The clowns said in their interview post-race that they did not have to use the entire bottle of water.

And the camera zoomed in to show that they only put a small amount of water in the kettle. I like the border patrol agents okay so far. Hardly qualified for sainthood.. though some given sainthood are pretty questionable..

When I saw the clowns put in a half bottle of water, I thought they'd get a penalty. I wasn't paying attention to how the clue was actually worded (or maybe we weren't told what it said in regard to the water).

I don't think we were told anything at all about how much water they had to put in, and maybe/apparently they were also told nothing. We saw most of the teams blithely pour in the whole bottle, so I made the assumption they must have been told something. But the clowns said they were not, so kudos to the clowns for thinking of not using all of the water. I have an idea if they had not been eliminated that aspect could have made the storyline, but since they lost anyway, it didn't matter.

One of the Border patrol team called the Empanada judge a "Nazi". like the soup nazi from seinfeld, it was said in jest As for Brendan Rachel, they are irritating the crap out of me , hope they are gone soon. Hate it when brendan does that Semi-threatening rough handed grabbing at rachel/ squeezing her face etc. I'd be fake bawling too... to try to get him to stop. His lame peptalks while being verbally abusive never made me happy during BB and it looks like its more of the same during this race. BTW anyone else catch Rachel claiming she is terrible at math yet Supposedly, she is a Chemist. That is TONS OF math. i've done uni level science and its so much math and statistics that you even have to take extra courses to add to the courses. so suddenly she cant remember how to do division?? implausible- unless you realize that brendan hollaring at her gets rachel rattled
