Starshine, go here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=JTF72 Start from Ep.3 • Pt.1, then pt.2... I have to be out every Sunday night. My VCR only taped the first half of the show..... I don't like this time slot only because it's pushed around by Games! Any other night of the week, 8 or 9 pm would have been fine with me. I'm happy for the Cho boys! They didn't rush through the prison, and looked like they had trouble selling flowers, but they kept on chucking at every task they do. Just like them, I did not expect them to be team number one. Those biker/vender's are familiar looking to me. I also remember using those exact same shape of coal "balls"(we called them). Remember squatting behind our living quarter, fanning the flames just right and supervising lil' sibs to catch grasshoppers for our chickens.... I did read some where that, today when the movie makers in Taiwan wants to tell story of olden days, they some times go to Vietnam for the scenery being close enough and the costs being just right.

I was a little taken aback by the jogbra. I've always thought that sometimes the clothing choices have been inappropriate for the local culture through many of TAR seasons. 'squeek'

What did the team do to get the 1/2 hour penalty?

They took motorbikes from one place to the detour or roadblock, despite a note on the clue that said, "due to saftey concerns, teams are NOT allowed to travel by motorbike while in Vietnam."

Rode on motorbikes. Penalty should have been harsher.

One thing I'm really enjoying about this season is that so far a different team has been in first place each week. It's nice to see them more evenly matched and not dominated by one team. They are also seeming to get along pretty well with each other (except for Rob and what's his GF's name???). I also caught the note below Sarah and Peter's names that said "In 1st place." Big mistake, people! I like Sarah. She just keeps plugging along, even if she does get teary and frustrated (I would too!), but her BF does not seem like a nice person. I was also disturbed by his hopping gayly across the rice field and leaving her to crawl by herself. Poor girl's got to be in some pain with that dysfunctional prosthesis. I wasn't a fan of David and Mary at first, but she's just so wide-eyed and excited about everything, she just makes me smile. "Oh, Wow! It's like something you'd see on TV!" Loved how sweet she was with Terry and Tom, and told them she was just going to wait for them, cause they'd be right along. I hope they go far. She may have a big mouth, but she's got a big heart to go with it!

Babyjaxmom, I have to agree with you about Mary. I really had no opinion one way or the other (except thinking she was kinda cute how excited she's been about everything, I love to see that on TAR) but when she told Tom and Terry she was going to stay she became one of my favorites. It cost her nothing at all since her and her hubby had already finished, but she had hurt her foot and it couldn't have been comfy standing there waiting. The guys were so upset though that her standing there for encouragement and support waiting for them was just so nice.

Yes that was nice of Mary. She is enjoying the experience. And that sums up why Lyn and Karlyn are hard to cheer for – they are not enjoying the experience.

Was it me, or wasn't there one point where Peter told Sarah that she was moving kinda slow on "that thing", meaning her prosthetic leg? I think it was when they were trying to get to the bus, but I'm not sure. I like Sarah, but I hope she will finally give Peter a piece of her mind one of these times. He looked like a prize a$$ going on ahead of her and leaving her to navigate the rice paddy the best she could. Maybe she told him to go on ahead, but from all the previous times that he has just gone on without considering her, I really don't know what to think. I guess I should just be grateful that he wasn't standing there clapping for her and treating her like his trained pet. In case you missed it, I'm not very fond of Peter LOL.

Mary also didn't rant and rave abuse at her husband when he forgot the fanny pack. However she did tell him to knock off the stories and drive.

Speaking from my own life with an amputee, I can give you a little insight, I think. First, the comment about getting around a little slow on that thing is just a way you get used to discussing the prosthesis. It becomes very casual and I just took it as a statement from Peter that the leg not working was slowing her down. Not a criticism, but a statement of fact. As for the rice paddy incident, I know that if it were me and DH, DH would do nothing but growl at me if I were trying to help him. Heck, this man won't even let me bring him a cup of coffee in the morning when I'm getting my own. I think they almost overcompensate about being able to do things without help. Peter may know this about her and just let her do her thing. One thing you learn during life with an amputee is that the amputation is such a daily thing that it is just a part of you. Over time, you accommodate to the person's own needs to be independent, however that manifests itself. I still haven't decided how I feel about Peter or Sarah as people and a couple, though.

Did we see how far behind the father/daughter were from the guys that were penalized for riding the motorbikes? Was it minutes? I felt bad for them losing. I think the father messed up by waiting for the Vietnamese woman at the airport, who then took them to her brother. Sometimes it's just better to forge ahead.

I usually don't do this but I missed last nights episode and because of the game going over and all that...my DVR didn't catch all of it. Anybody got a copy they'd be willing to let me borrow? I don't have highspeed so I can't really watch it on the web anywhere.

Cricket, I read over at TWOP that it was a difference of three minutes. I would have jumped for joy to see Tom and Jerry sent packing. People who don't read the clues properly irritate me.

Thanks, Karen. I too would have jumped for joy. They knew the rules. I heard the brothers say No to a motorcycle guy. Sorry, Nick, I'd gladly mail you a copy, but I already erased it and it was on a TV I can't tape from my Tivo to a VCR at this time. I hate CBS; they always run over and instead of shortening the news or 60 minutes, they make all the other programs run late. I missed 1/2 of W/O A Trace. I'm going to start taping extra again. I didn't think CBS had football on Sundays this year. Darn!

Nick: I still have it so I will send you a PM, NOW remember this is just a VCR tape so is that okay? Also I have it right at the start for you and your wife so all you have to do is pop it in and watch it. No need to return it, I have a ton of the VCR tape's, just enjoy

LOL - Remember the two lawyer friends who took a taxi when the direction said that "You must walk to the pit stop" and then they claimed that although they took a taxi there, they walked into the pit stop?
