Vanessa seems fine. Art/JJ aren't finished yet. Rachael/Dave are first. They each receive $10K, Brenchel are 2nd., Vanessa/Ralph 3rd.. Vanessa accused Brenchel of cheating on the last task, had an argument and finally shook hands. Mopper are at the FF getting their heads shaved. Mark is already bald. Art/JJ just finished their task.

What a bummer. Well, now I want Brenchel to win. Not cause I care much about them, but because Art/JJ and Vanessa are so unlikeable. And I know it would really chap their hides if they won.

Seems in the previews that a team gets to the finish line and haven't completed their task. Brenchel miss a bus and play blame game.

I'm watching now, and saw where Vanessa fell. So never mind my above question.

That really stinks when the only likable team is gone. Now I'm hoping that anyone but Brenchel wins.

1 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Rachel and Dave won the EP at the end of Leg 1. In Leg 3, after trying the first option of the Detour, Rachel and Dave chose to skip the Detour and proceed to the Road Block task.

2 Leg 3 Road Block Penalty: The Road Block task for leg 3 consisted of one team member mastering some dance moves with a bottle balanced on his or her head. There was a finite # of bottles and if all broke, the team went to the Pit Stop and had to endure a two hour penalty.

Rachel and Dave, after using their Express Pass to abandon and skip the Detour (they didn't even try the second option), incurred the penalty. They arrived in second place.

At about 30 minutes, Brendon and Rachel arrived and moved into second place, and Joey and Danny moved into third place. Bopper and Mark, Nary and Jamie arrived with just seconds to go on the penalty, taking fourth and fifth. Rachel and Dave and Rachel then got sixth place. Phil told them that they are the first team in Race history to not finish any challenge on a leg and stayed in the race.

3 Non Elimination Leg.

Leg 4 was an NEL, thus saving Mark and Bopper, who came in last. The will have to perform a Speed Bump task in Leg 5.

Leg 7 was an NEL, thus saving Nary and Jamie, who came in last. They will have to preform a Speed Bump task in Leg 8.

Leg 9 was an NEL, this saving Mark and Bopper, who had almost quit at the Roadblock Bollywood Dance task when Mark beame deydrated and Bopper finally insisted he must quit. The director then urged him to try just one more time (12th) and they got the clue and proceded to the Detour. So they face a Speed Bump in Leg 10.

4 SPEED BUMP - A task that must be performed only by the last place team on the next leg after they come in last during a NEL. Mark and Bopper were last in NEL in the fourth leg, so will have to perform a Speed Bump in Leg 5.

In Leg 5 in Bavaria, before starting the detour task, Art and Bopper had to complete a yodelling task for their Speed Bump penalty.

Nary and Jamie were last in Leg 7, which was NEL, and thus they will have to complete a Speed Bump in Leg 8.

Nary and Jamie's Speed Bump task was to set up an art display to match a diagram.

Mark and Bopper were last in Leg 9 and thus had to perform a Speed Bump task in Leg 10

Their task was to paint a tiger on the belly of a Pulikali Tiger Dancer and prepare them for dancing.

5 At the end of Leg 4, Art and JJ came over and told Bopper that they would split the $10k they won with him (no details on amounts) for his daughter. They also said they would be friends for life. THEN they found out it was NEL and the four hugged again. Phil joked tht Art and JJ would have to be careful. Bopper said he would return the favor.

6 Mark and Bopper took the Fast Forward in Leg 10 (Rachel and Brendon tried to take it but Rachel didn't want to shave her head; Vanessa and Ralph were behind Rachel and Brendon so didn't try for it. Art and JJ and Rachel and Dave could not take a second FF). Mark and Bopper had started the leg hours later than other teams so the FF didn't save them from last place and elimination.

I kind of figured that they were just getting our hopes up and that even though Art and JJ chose the longer detour task, they were still too far ahead for Mark and Bopper to catch up.. guess we will find out how close it was in due time. Sorry to see them go but so happy they did get one trip, though I hope it doesn't hurt them tax wise.. and a bit of money from Art and JJ from Leg 4 where they pledged some portion of their $10K prize.

Rachel could have bought lots of extensions if she'd just done the shave tonight and then they would have won the leg and $20,000. And she'd have have had a great story to tell for the rest of her life, too. BUT, it didn't knock them out and certainly was her choice to make. Too bad she has such low self-esteem :-(

Fast thinking by Dave on the ferry!

I don't think Mopper had a 4 h our penalty.. they were just that far behind last week and then had to start that much later this week.

For the Roadblock task involving the elephants, they had to decorate an elephant first and then run the wheelbarrels of manure. The other task involved manipulating the ginger, filling crates, sealing and labelling the crates and then delivering the crates.

Could Rachel have scars or tattoos on her scalp that she didn't want exposed?

Brendon was not very supportive of Rachels decision. The look on his face was of disappointment. Very different from the supportive relationship between Mark and Bopper.

it would take me a year to grow hair long enough to even add extentions. I would think same thing for rachel

damn that dance guy! from the clips they showed mark's 4th attempt looked passable. dumb task since it was so subjective.

one can only hope to have a friendship like those kentucky men!

Vsmart.. I doubt any scars or tattoos on Rachel... but her extensions are important to her.

They must have been incredibly far behind for the Fast-Forward to make no difference. I don't recall them showing any start times this episode? That should have been a big hint that there was a huge gap.

The hair challenge is a difficult one. I'd do it in a second but I'm a guy and my hair is a very tiny part of what defines me as a person. Some guys and especially some women feel very strongly about it. "I need hair to be pretty" was a sad statement though I'm sure Joyce enjoyed hearing Rachel's description of her and how pretty she was (and I agree that Joyce looked great without the hair!).

The $500 excuse was ludicrous though. Any prize for coming in first would more than compensate for that cost.

Out of the remaining teams I'd like to see Rachel and Dave win it. They've run the best race and I like them a bit better than the other teams.
