Well, I'm thinking they took a 15 min. penalty and it just wasn't shown since it was a non-issue because of U/J (that's what I meant to say).

I completely understood what you said Lexie and I agree. And I was happy with the outcome! It was a good show last night!

Hey Scoot ... who are you rooting for??

Me ... Team Cha Cha!!

How would it be a non-issue? They came in second at the pitstop, how far ahead of E/D were they?

And even if we don't see it, it should effect the time they leave the next day, 12 hours after arrival, right?

Evidently at least 16 minutes ahead of E/D. I think the only reason they didn't show the penalty was because it wasn't a "game-changing" moment involving elimination. But C/M clearly did not follow the rules and must have been given a 15 minute penalty. Remember last year with the hippies when they didn't travel to a town via the transportation they were supposed to take and they had to take a 15 minute penalty. But they aired that because it involved possible elimination.

Hey Nick...I know I'm NOT rooting for Eric and Danielle. I like the Beauty Queens right now.

Well, I'm just sayin... lots of time they show the penalty when it doesn't effect the order finish, just to create drama on the televised showing. And lots of times they make teams look as if they are actually closer together than they really are, also to create drama.

So I'd be surprised if they didn't create drama this time if they had the opportunity, even if C/M were quite comfortably more than 15 minutes ahead of E/D.

Maybe they'll show it on next Sunday's episode...at the beginning. :-)

There was no drama to show on TV because Uchenna and Joyce were still in Germany. The last 40 minutes of the episode was anticlimactic since U/J were never shown again until the end.

Quite often the producers have adjusted start times after reviewing the tapes. They usually make an announcement at the start of the next leg if the adjustment actually changes the order of departure.

You all MUST be wrong because we all know that Mirna and Charla would never lie, cheat, steal, misbehave, act ugly, be nasty to another contestant, or in any other way do anything that would be construed as being less than perfect little girl scouts while they run the Race.

LOL ... Mirna and Charla were on their best behavior last night. At least I thought so. Or maybe it was editing.

Now I can't wait until next week to see if there was any adjustments.

The Beauty Queens or The Cha Cha's ... I'd be happy with either!

Mirna and Charla are always better when they know t hey are running toward the front of the pack. Mirna gets more stressed, and yells more, when she thinks they are on the verge of elimination.

Thanks, Scoot & Bob. They may show it next time. I'll cross my fingers. :-)

If there was a penalty, they'll show it next time and their departure time will be adjusted.

The computer hogging was a bit mean spirited and I bet the hotel had a sign telling guests to share, but the people who actually blew it were Danielle and Eric.. they should have refused to leave the room and watched C/M do their booking.. would have driven C/M crazy AND they probably could have then booked that same earlier flight.

And at the airport when Mirna wanted to ask a question, it also could have actually been revealing about that earlier departure time.

Mirna did evoke a "look" from one cab driver for telling him he had to go quickly.

I think the computer hogging was smart gameplay. Being nice won't get you the million dollars...

Once again, only saw parts of TAR what with Planet Earth airing at the same time...

Liked this week's Roadblock and the batik Detour was good too. The "search 'til you find something" tasks usually seem either pretty easy (like last season's sheet music Detour) or way too hard (season six's hay bales Roadblock). This cookie one seemed in-between. I'd have never picked it though!

Still hate the dreaded Yield but my favorites are still in the Race!

ETA: Is there to be another FF this season (I think they've been averaging two a season since switching from having them for every leg up to the final group)?

Julie, I don't think that anyone thinks that being nice will get you the million...at least for me, I didn't find anything wrong with that...I found them going on and on about how they were going to play a fair game and blah blah blah fairly nauseating. That holier than thou attitude had me throwing up a little in the back of my throat. :-)

LOL Scoot ... yes, I agree but it is better than listening to them yell & scream & bicker. At least I think so.

The interview does note that U/J did do all the tasks, they just didn't show them. Good for them they kept at it, and never gave up, right to the end.

Thanks for the link Lady T!

Julie I agree about the game play, but then they cannot claim to be playing completely clean talk trash because the BQ team used an actual part of the game, the yield. Can't have it both ways. But yes, part of the game, same as the Guidos blocking the doorway, yet they were hated for doing that. Or Amber saying they found the clue. If Charla and Mirna want to play that way, that's all well and good, but they shouldn't squawk about other teams so much.

Wow..thanks for that link, Ladytex. If they had to do the tasks we should have seen at least a bit of that, I agree. And to be killed by a dead printer, bad, but they did know that they would have to get the passes printed during the short layover and took a chance. Heck taking a chance worked for Mirna and Charla not long before.

Glad they are still working on the baby and in taping the process they will be helping people. And just like with Rob and Amber I DO NOT mind seeing them show up in yet another reality sort of venue. Can't say that of many teams, yes for Joyce and Uchenna.

I think that if a popular pair like U/J would undertake an African adoption it might start a whole chain of them like what has been happening over the past few years from China. The whole populations of so many countries are at risk of death from AIDS that rescuing a child or children is an act of amazing grace!

After reading some comments on here I did go back and watch the detour part of this week's show again. The clue clearly said, "Travel on foot to...." Mirna/Charla and Eric/Danielle both took cabs. I hope that there was some adjustment made as far as penalties go. I'd think TAR would want to try and keep their integrity intact.

Am I the only one who gets tired of Mirna/Charla using the same accent wherever they go?

I know it may sound strange but I enjoyed watching the tiff with Team Cha Cha because it showed how a couple can disagree and still have respect for each other.

I'm not a big fan of the BQ's but Eric was way out of line with his language.
