Oh, duh. Got it, Lex! But that would mean the contestants would have to SAVE the envelopes. Or the poor production crew would have to follow along and grab 'em. LOL...

They can do that. Don't they have to keep the clues with them at all times? (If they used velcro, I wouldn't cringe every time they rip open an envelope.)

They have to turn in all their clues every pit stop. The only season that was able to keep clues as memento's was the first season.

Oh what sweet justice - to watch the divorcees be so lame and bad. Can I just say I that I really enjoyed watching them be eliminated? Go Dallas and Toni!

Has there ever been a season when teams have misread clues so completely and badly? It seems to be a epidemic this year. Did they choose people with poor reading skills? Those two women...you would have thought they would have learned since they screwed up so completely a few weeks ago...but here they were again...I think maybe a little less time applying mascara and a little more time reading the clues would have been of great benefit to them. But fortunately for us they are gone.

I read somewhere .. a long time ago .. that the racers must keep all their trash to dispose it in a trash bin - so if they are throwing it down .. then they are bending over to pick it back up off camera (If they don't retrieve it .. they get penalties) .. Now this was back around AR 3 or 4 .. so maybe it's been changed .. but I bet not.

Could I just say it again about how much I hate that TAR comes at the mercy of football games? It's been on time lately. That's how I forgot all about this factor and only got to watch half of it Sunday! I had to search and follow carefully on youtube to see the whole thing. Maybe I should just forget about CBS and watch it on YT from now on??

Yeah, the divorcees deserve to go. They were lucky for a while. But since they always pick the Frat Boys as target, they deserve to be at the bottom. I still don't care for Tina so much but at least she tried to be respectful and even remind Ken to do so. (Out bursts when she got sneak-attacked was okay in my book.) These two were so negative toward other culture and so careless at reading the clues, they can be included in a vid for "What Not to Do if you are in TAR". "Sweet Dudes"? Not what I will call the Frat boys, but they are hanging on by their teeth. I am just as amazed as they are about that! If I were Nick & Star I would just team up and help the mother/son team. Four heads are better than two. Plus N&S won't have any problem beating then at that last foot-race. Only when they bump into each other though. If N&S were way ahead, that's a different story. Again, it doesn't mean I will enjoy watching the team of sibs win by smooth-sailing. But they are awful good racers and I can't help but like them.

Chy...same thing happened to me. I finally had a chance to watch AR and was disappointed to find I only got 1/2 the episode. Add me to the list who can't stand Terrance. He needs to grow a pair. lol Sarah should lose this guy a.s.a.p. He acts like a child half the time. If they stayed together they had better not have any children, I don't think he could handle it.

One more thing. Kelly & Christy had a driver while they looked for the numbers to complete that "Bleary Eye" task. Even if they did get to the pit stop before Dandrew, they should have a thirty-minute penalty I hope.

Miz...., I thought the same thing about "No children for Sarah & Ter!". He probably would latch on to Sarah since she seems to have the pair he lost... I missed the days when TAR was on Tue. nights. Even though I have a standing Tue. Eve. rehearsal, at least I will be able to watch a complete epi!

Yeah, they make us sit through all of 60 Minutes to get to watch TAR (so much that I've just made my TIVO record the show plus another hour routinely now) but they cut off the last 39 laps of the NASCAR race on ABC Sunday night. I'll never understand the little men who have their fingers on the buttons!

Shout Out to Lupe in Phoenix Arizona! Talked to my Sis Lupe tonight and she says she's rooting for Nick & Star. Seriously enjoying this season, too! Ain't it GREAT to be able to share Reality TV, as well as politics, with a Sis!?! Just saying.

Sorry for the super-delayed reaction but speaking of envelopes, and speaking of Terrence and Sarah, did anyone else notice a week or two ago when Terrence said to Sarah, "You can open the envelope this time, you've earned it." He said it with no trace of humor, it was totally sincere like he really felt you had to earn the privilege of opening the envelope.

I think it was Terrence, Madelane, that told Sarah that she shouldn't open the envelopes if she "wasn't going to do it (opening the envelope) right". I think she had just opened it slowly or ripped it or something to cause his hatred.

Kelly & Christy were on Bonnie Hunt today. Not impressive. Bonnie asked them since they did not win, who they wanted to win. "Nobody. We wanted to win." Good thing they're gone.

I was so glad to see Kelly & Christy go. I thought it was funny how they talked in a derogatory way about making out with the Frat Boys and all the while the Frat Boys have let it be known how little use they have for the girls. And I love how they turned down the boys offer to work together, because they thought they were the last teams while Tina And Ken were still behind. Of course, I understand why they did it, but if they had agreed to work together, they might have caught on quicker and both teams might have been safe. But I don't think there would have been any penalty for using the driver in the numbers' challenge because I don't think the clue said they had to walk. In fact it hurt them, because the clues were so high, I think the top of the vehicle blocked their view of them. I do wonder how far behind the boys they were. It is always misleading when they get to the last two because they want it to be dramatic.

In an interview I read they said they could see the boys on the mat when they walked up. So they were only a minute or so behind them apparently.

I thought there would have been time penalty though. They did that "Bleary Eye" task with a driver while "On foot" was in the clue. I don't think I dreamed this, but I need to go back to watch again I suppose. I "swallowed" it so fast the first time around, I've already noticed things missed upon second viewing.

Ah, I didn't realize it said "on foot".. in that case they'd have had a penalty if they hadn't been eliminated. But when they took that cab thing I instantly noted to myself that it wasn't very helpful for them since things were so congested and they also couldn't see as well.. but they did have a history of not reading clues well, huh?
