No, there wasn't a disqualification in this Amazing race. As Jimmer said, it was season 1 }where a team quit a roadblock and just went to the pit stop.

Nancy/Emily did not complete a Detour, resulting in a 24-hour penalty assessed at the Pit Stop, which put them in last place behind the Guidos (in TAR1 -- sorry for my mistake earlier).

Skipping a Roadblock is not as bad. From TAR6, TAR7, and TAR Asia, the penalty for not completing a Roadblock is 4 hours, although there has been some inconsistency as to whether the penalty is applied at the Pit Stop or at the Roadblock.

I LOVE Cha Cha Cha!! I haven't been on these boards since BB, but had to come back and re-connect with TAR. My favourite scenes EVER were from the time they went shopping for cologne. The other teams raced to the airport to book flights etc, and Cha Cha Cha went to a very upscale hotel, politely asked the concierge to book the best possible flights. They went shopping, then the hotel took them to the airport in a limo. The other teams were fried from running around, while Cha Cha Cha arrived in style - calm, rested and smelling good!

I agree. That was a great moment. It made me LOL and it's those kind of things that make the show extra enjoyable to watch. I love it when the contestants are competitive but also enjoy the experience and have fun.

This episode aired November14, 2001

Only two teams are still eligible to use the Fast Forward; Nancy/Emily and Joe/Bill. All the others teams have already used it. Nancy says that she and Emily either get the Fast Forward or they're out of the game. Both teams decide to go for it although Nancy and Emily seem a little hesitant. The teams must get from Dehli to Bangkok either by using train or a bus. When the Temple of Dawn opens in the morning after arriving the previous night (except for Kevin/Drew),they are given a Detour. The teams must get to a monastery in Kanchanaburi by either using a public bus or a private car. The only thing they are given to find the car is a license plate number. The Fast Forward is at the Reclining Buddha. The two teams going for it must perform an old tradition in which they must drop the exact amount of coins into 108 slots. The problem is they have to choose the coins from a series of small trays, either being too many, too few or the right amount. Joe and Bill obtain the Fast Forward and Nancy/Emily must now do the regular challenge. The Detour proves difficult for the team so they opt not to complete it and take a taxi rather than a bus or a private car. When the teams get to the next destination, they get a Roadblock. In this particular Roadblock, one team member must walk through a pit of hand-raised tigers to receive the next clue. The clue tells them to get to the Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi. Team Guido, having received the Fast Forward, assume they have some time to kill and spend the night at the hotel. However, at the pit stop they are the last team to arrive. Phil, however tells them along with Nancy/Emily that the Guidos have not been eliminated. Nancy and Emily received a 24 hour time penalty for skipping the Detour and are eliminated. The Guidos' mistake, however, leaves them far behind the pack.

Detour:
Rob/Brennan chose "Public", where they went to an easily found bus station to take a public bus to Kanchanaburi, which they had to pay for.
Kevin/Drew, Frank/Margarita, and Nancy/Emily chose "Private", where they had to search an area on a provided map for a private car to take them to Kanchanaburi, with only the license plate number given to help determine their car. This car was free. Kevin/Drew quit and completed Public. Nancy/Emily quit and completed neither, hiring a taxi to Kanchanaburi and fully admitting they were giving up.
Joe/Bill bypassed the Detour via the Fast Forward.

FYI:

We'll probably be delayed again next week because of the basketball....

4/1 is a 2-hour ep (no foolin')

4/8 is likely to be delayed because it's the final round of The Masters....

Would it be too hard for CBS to set a time after the games end and scroll when TAR will start??? It is SO darned annoying. Less so on night's like last night when almost everything else was a rerun, but once they see how delayed it will be, would it be too hard from them to tell us?? Yet more respect for fans from a network...sigh.

agreed lurknomore, why was everything a repeat? just because of a basketball game comeon, not eveyone likes sports, they should have something on for people who don't like sports I am one of them who don't care for any sports.

you guys don't remember the "Heidi game" a long time ago....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi_Game

ever since then, for the most part, they'll show sports to the conclusion, no matter what time it ends.

CBC starts TAR on time. Maybe those who have satellite in the US can get it?

I think you mean CTV. And this is one time that I am very happy to get the Canadian broadcast. That was a very interesting article on the "Heidi Game".

My daughter and I snuggled in to watch Heidi while my ex had smoke coming out of his ears. I loved it. It really wasn't a very good Heidi.

East Coast it started 45 minutes late because of the basketball game They should have had the game on instead of Heidi then maybe it would have started on time, I was looking forward to watching something that was not a repeat.

It is one thing to end a game but so often they show continued aftergame footage and more commercials, and I hate that.

Exactly, Sea. If they'd show ONLY the game, NO commercials once it's into the next hour and NO commentary after it's done, there'd be no complaints.
