The rules said they had to make the sound of the chest thump. She must have done it and it was edited out.

WHY did the 30 min. penalty for T/S not happen til start of next round? Unless A/T were more than the 30 minutes??? Why is the penalty sometimes used at the end of the leg and sometimes at the start of the next leg???

JMO but perhaps it's different because they broke a rule that didn't have anything to do with the race itself.

I think A&T were more than 30 minutes behind, probably a lot more, because the light had changed, as if the sun had gone down a lot. It might be that they didn't know quite what penalty to give for the speeding fine. I suppose, as they weren't anywhere near last, it doesn't make a difference whether they did it then or at the start of the next leg. I'm still not overly excited by any of the teams. I guess I want the mum/son team to win, and don't want the Frat boys or divorcees to win. Other than that I'm not fussed.

Has there been a non-elimination leg yet? It seems like they had a TON of them and early, last year. This year, I can't remember them having one yet and I'm too lazy right now to go and look. Thanks if anyone can remember!

Nope, no non-elimination rounds yet. I said to my dh that this round will be a non-elim, but no! I think next week must be, surely.

the mom and son are my favs right now. They work so well together. Sorry to see Aja and Ty go but happy to hear he is going to move and they can be together. I loved all the things they said about ea other. I wish them all the best

I think Aja and Ty make a nice couple, I wish them the best too. I was thinking last night had to be a non-elimination round too! Must be next week!

I agree with what Kitt said...giving Terrance and Sarah a 30 minute penalty obviously would have had no affect on whether Aja & Ty were eliminated...so it will affect their starting time the next leg. Actually, it is the same either way...say they came in at 2:15 on this leg, technically with a 30 minute penalty they will have come in at 2:45. So next leg they will leave at 2:45. But Aja & Ty were more than 30 minutes behind so it doesn't affect the outcome of this leg. Time penalties are apparently given all the time...we just don't notice them very much because they never show us what time the teams get in.

It was truly amazing to see that floating village in Cambodia and Angkor Wat. ETA: And I've always thought the "Find this BP Station" from TAR's family edition was the dullest direction ever but once again they had to find a filling station. But I guess this was a more exotic one! Was there only one extra pole for Terrence & Sarah's boat? 'Cause I'd be helping push too. The mom & son are my favorite team this season too.

This is Trunk Bay, St. John where the winners of last night won a trip to. I have snorkeled there. It is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Calamity, one of the boat pilots was poling at the front of the boat and Terrence was poling at the back end.

I have to give Terance props for helping to pole the boat along...he didn't sit around waiting for something to happen...he took action. Yes, I would have wanted a pole of my own too...lol!

A couple of things... Yes, Tina DID thump her chest in the Angkor Wat temple. It was quick and there wasn't much of an echo, but she did. (And she went thru that room at least one other time before she finally "officially" found it. Still not liking Ken and Tina. Not liking the frat boys at all. That was a totally rude and derogatory comment one of 'em made about the Angkor Wat temple. It is a highly religious temple and to reference it as the Playboy mansion was crude. Not liking these two at all. Totally LMAO at Sarah's expression as they were told about the half hour penalty -- she looked like she was sucking on a lemon. They cut away from the look she was starting to give Terrence, but I'm betting that penalty didn't go over too well. Not liking her at all, especially the way she constantly yells "fast fast fast!" at anyone who's driving them anywhere. (Really? You need to yell?) Christy and Kelly would be a bit more likable if they weren't so petty. But then again, so would Nick and Star. I like Toni and Dallas. They seem to work well together, and don't seem to be caught up too much misreading clues. Toni is really working hard and it's nice to see Dallas appreciating what his mother is doing. Sorry to see Aja and Ty leave. They started out so far behind and really made up a lot of time. They were so close behind Andrew and Dan, and not that far from the rest of the pack. While they had their bickering moments, they really were a likeable couple.

I noticed that one of the racers called one of the Cambodian men "Senor"..like all foreigners are Hispanic. I think I heard something else like that last night.

At least Sarah was shouting in Cambodian. Great pronunciation in Brazil too. So she must read the guidebook on the plane. Sorry for the half of the team that doesn't get to tour Angkor Wat.

And back on my not liking Terance bandwagon...why did he yell at Sarah because she's always outrunning him, and then when he was ahead of her he was yelling "FASTER SARAH FASTER!" <24>

I noticed Spanish a couple of times, Panda. I was like "what the heck?" and had to replay to make sure I wasn't hearing things the first time I heard "senor". If they don't understand English (which is a lot more common in tourist areas around the world), how the heck are they gonna get Spanish? LOL!

Costacat: Yeah, I saw a man from the boat crew was also using a pole, that's why I asked if there was just the one extra pole that Terrence had. I just wondered because they kept showing Sarah as if she could be doing something to help as well. Perhaps they only keep two poles on board. It was reminding me of that one time (TAR 2, maybe?) that Mary just cruised on the raft while most everyone else struggled. But thank you anyway . I'm not too fond of Ken & Tina either but it seems like they're pretty popular. Ophiliasgrandma: How beautiful! What did you see while snorkeling there? (Btw, I love the word 'snorkle'. I don't know why, it just makes me smile.)

Got to love the power of editing. Ty and aja said that when they were landing in cambodia, dan and andrew were finishing up at the pit stop. So they were still way behind, which is no surprise since they were on the later flight

Calamity, I saw lots of very plain fish, nothing very 'tropical' looking. There were markers on the seafloor that we were to follow...an underwater trail. I had more fun onshore in the 'talcum powder' sand watching the pelicans dive for fish. It really is an enormously beautiful place.

Wow ~ What a great spot to end this leg of the race! I'm really liking Toni and Dallas. Whichever young lady starts flirting with him next week - she has good taste - unlike the two unpleasant divas who only act civil and charitable when it serves their purpose. Frat boys need to go home. They're the stereotype of the ugly American known around the world of tourism.

I didn't notice much of a sun difference with Ty and Aja. I have to wonder if they were a whole day behind. The power of editing.

Snark, I was wondering how Ty and Aja caught up. I thought they said there were only two flights out to Cambodia (unless I'm getting my episodes confused) - so I'm wondering if they had to wait until the next day to catch a flight.
