The lanterns look lovely. But, given how tense and tight, I'm not surprised everyone went for the "earth" challenge. On one hand (asking for thoughts here) there would be a risk of hurting one's feet (perhaps everyone hauled their Neosporin with). Could slow them on the next segment or the run to the finish?

But those lanterns, I think they said ?20?, looked like they would take a lot of time. I think I would have done the earth challenge too. Would have been fun, though. Maybe Chy could give some thoughts?

My Sister's Birthday was the day of the race on Sunday. She was doing Birthday Bingo and then came home to watch TAR. When I called her to say "wasn't that the best Birthday present you ever got?" She's been wanting J/N out of the race for WEEKS.

She was confused at first, then realized Jen's birthday wasn't the same date, filmed earlier. YESSS, when Sis realized the "parting" was on her OWN birthday, Jan 13th, it polished off a lovely day.

(PS-2 people bingo'd too, one for the first time ever in her life, and they always split winnings. TAR was truly the "Icing on the Cake".)

I don't think the rocks would cut your feet, they looked like round river rock, stood up on it's edge, so they would poke into your foot and be uncomfortable, but not harming your foot. It would be uncomfortable, like if you had a marble in your shoe.

Just my observation on my medium sized, non-hdtv tv. :-)

Brenda, I think you are right about the stones being blunted. People aren't going to be doing things like that to cut up their feet. A stone in the bottom of the foot would be painful, but not injurious.

I just got thru watching the show and...

YAY! While I don't think Nate was all that bad, Jen was just acting toxic for him!!

The rocks were river rocks. And while they will not cut your feet, if you step on one wrong you could feel it.

Chy, none of the ceremonies I saw were part of any Buddhist ceremony that I know of.

I didn't see anyone mention how often Jen mispronounced "Taipei". Seriously, she was saying "Tuh-pie" several times. Grr. And yeah, I did lol at the "Thai food" reference. And then Ron and Chris saying they thought the team was smart, and then back to N/J talking about Thai food. Hahaha! The editors sometimes have way too much fun!

Still not really digging Nick and Don. The younger one continues to say snarky things that are pretty much uncalled for (the cutting of TK's beard, for example).

I really hope R/C and TK/R make it to the final 2. Either team could win and I'd be happy. I think TK/R have been the nicest team ever, and I think R/C have really grown together as a team (as Chris said).

I really didn't like Jen whining about how TK/R just relax during the race. Um, hello? Really? How the heck did they make up three hours PLUS do a speed bump if they were just sitting back enjoying the view? Yeah, so they did have an advantage with the bunching at the 10 am opening of the floating flower garden, but they still had to do the speed bump.

I dunno if Nate was losing it at the end cause of what Jen said or if it was just the emotional let down of the moment. She was right though... all they did was concentrate on winning, and they never did really work together as a team.

Well hopefully they've seen each other at their worst, and maybe even learned from it. Good luck to them.

So happy with the final three, I would love TK and R to win, it would be like Chip and Kim winning all over again. They have been my all time favorite winners. People that really appreciated the race, the countries and the locals in each country. They really took time to enjoy it and coming back to win it at the end because of being smart by not checking luggage and therefore taking advantage of earlier flights was just priceless, especially when they were so far behind. Shows us that anything can happen at the end and hopefully Tk and R will make good flight decisions in the end! At least I won't be unhappy with any winner this time.

Looks like Nate and Jen will be interviewed on Reality Remix by Kennedy.. on one of the shows today they said "on the next Reality Remix".. so probably at least one airing tomorrow. That show airs at least 4 times, but I've never really figured out which airing is considered the "new" one since my cable doesn't label them. Sometimes they put in a description but often they don't.

No, better yet -- I like Thai food and I have some Thai friends -- I wonder why the taxi driver didn't take them to the wrong airport!

LOL Yes, I thought Jen's statement about TK and Rachel "slacking off" was highly amusing. It was an absolutely absurd comment. And for her to go a step further and mention....what was it...."ripping out TK's dreads" was a disgusting display of her true character. (not that we needed anymore evidence )

Actually, I think that people who come on this show and naturally lean towards breaking under stress show a particularly nasty animosity towards those who are capable of playing a competitive game AND enjoying themselves.

The rude comments by Jen/Nate and Nic/Don towards Tk/Rachel remind me so much of when teams began to gang up on the Hippie's, BJ and Tyler, a few seasons back. The rude comments seemed to come out of nowhere. So I just chalk it up to animosity. Some teams are just jealous because they cannot compete in a peaceful manner.

In one interview they were asked who they wanted to win (Kynt and Vyxsin, asked that question, diplomatically said that any of the remaining teams deserved the win if they came in first), and Nate and Jen said well since TK and Rachel are "like us" .. I guess meaning a hetero couple, then they wanted one of the other teams to win with an older member on it.

I've heard Tai-pei butchered in so many diffrent ways in my life time, Jenn didn't even bother me on that!

Costacat, thatks for clearifying that.

Biscottiii, I think everyone's covered it. Those rocks don't really hurt. They are meant to stimulate. Some thinks it may function like the Swiss foot massage. Remember Ronald mumbled about "... think of it as a massage for your feet..." the whole way through? :-)

Yes, thanks EVERYONE for figuring out the rocks issue. I thought, maybe I'm wrong, that Phil said it was ?250? feet and made of "broken" rocks. They didn't look like that to me, looked smooth like round river rocks. But that "broken" word threw me for a loop. Again, my thanks!

I bet if you could walk slowly and let your mind soothe it might be a pleasant experience. But having to race and run, I bet that kind of hurt.

Brings back memories of a long ago song:
Do The Hokey POKEY With Me!

Somehow there seemed to be a difference in attitude of Don/Nick and Jen/Nate in their remarks about TK/Rachel.

Nick comments about shaving his beard was said with a laugh and just a normal frustration that they had caught up. There did not seem any malice in it. Remember on the train they went back and chatted with them.

Jen, on the other hand seemed deadly serious, and she was not smiling when she made the comments about pulling out his dreadlocks.

Agreed Allietex. Nicks comments were said with humor. Frankly, I'd like to shave that scruff off too! Ick. I don't like it. :-)
Jens were said in complete anger and disgust.

Me, too, Brenda. I was thinking how handsome TK would be without that scruffy beard. He reminds me a little of Matthew McConneghey (sp?)--but in a good way!
