I think it would depend how FAR ahead they were and since they all came in on the same flight, Ken and Tina knew it could be a crapshoot for them to stay in first since they knew other teams were right behind them (even right up to the building for the FF), so I think probably they did the right thing in taking the FF. They seem to work well as a team, though, so probably they wouldn't have been in last place last night (I think they'd have recognized a knot, for instance!) but since there are only two FF, probably just as well to go for it and they did win a 7 day trip. And I think, given the circumstances of same flight, it was better to just go for the FF and not over-think things.

That was way scary, but at least they got a helicopter ride and they can hope that airport bunching isn't an issue in the next leg, or that they got to the pit stop far enough in advance to get them an earlier flight (I know.. bunching seems to be the norm for TAR).

Why did starr drive the car after she hurt herself?? shouldnt nick have offered to drive!!

good to see the realization inside the team of the frat boys by andrew that dan needs to tone his mouth down some.

ken and tina are riding high on 1st places....let's see how they act when some adversary hits. my bet says tina gets negative on him very quickly when that happens.

Oregon - Both team members had to drive the cars. I would imagine had Nick taken over, they would have been penalized. Depending on how far ahead they were of other teams, they could have been eliminated if the others showed up before there penalty was over - like what happened to the guys last week.

Ken and Tina are way better than I expected. I hope things don't take a turn for the worse. It will be nice to see the "real" divorcess next week and just how far they go about others. I really like Star and I think it was ridiculous to accuse her unless they saw her do it.

Terence - What can I say about Terence? He acts like a <100> boy who needs constant reassurance as well as being right or else he goes and pouts. <100> I don't know what Sarah sees in him.

Watching, I think OrGuy is talking about why did Starr start to drive their "real" car... After a bit they did switch places. I also wondered why Nick just didn't take the wheel from the start...

Nick, I caught that about the envelope. What a control freak. How can one not properly pull a strip open?

yes i was talking about the real car. she has a nasty cut on her hand and is in pain and driving one handed. at first i thought maybe it was one of those situations where nick cant drive or drive a stick, but then a little bit in he offers to switch. didnt make sense to me.

It was probably just instinctive for her to get in the car...she seems to have been doing most of the driving and him the directions...that was probably their arrangement at the start...and then when he realized that she was having difficulty he made the switch.

Okay, but Tina is afraid of heights and was terrified in the tower, but a helicopter ride isn't scary for me? Methinks Tina is a bit of a drama queen. Not that the tower thing wasn't crazy, but if I was afraid of heights I would be equally afraid of a helicopter ride!

It may have something to do with how often they each have to drive...I notice it gets switched up

Oh man, I did feel sorry for Starr when she hurt her arm. And yes, Allitex, just because you can move your arm doesn't mean it's not broken. Adrenaline can carry you a long ways on a broken bone. I was in a car accident several years ago when I jumped out and ran around on my ankle for a good 20-30 minutes before I realized it didn't feel so good (it was broken). Depends on the type of break. Hand injuries are especially painful because you have so many nerve endings in your hands. I broke my thumb once and it ached all the way up to my shoulder all night. I couldn't believe the pain, and it was just my thumb!

Such a fuss over a sports bra! Hasn't she ever had anything all off the counter all by itself?

I broke my ankle when I was six years old. I was jumping rope in the morning and slipped on wet blacktop. But I was too afraid of the nurse at school and hid the fact that my ankle was swollen three times it's size and that it hurt like the devil. My mother about died when I got home from school. I ended up spending a couple of months on the couch. And got a serious talking to from both my parents AND the doctor.

Strangely enough, children at school often downplay their serious injuries. They will fall down and skin a knee and cry and make a big fuss, then they will fall and break their arm and assure everyone it is OK and does not hurt. Not too sure why this happens, but it does.

Yep Costacat. I still have gravel in my knee from a fall in the schoolyard 60 years ago. I just put a paper towel on it. I put band-aids on it when I got home from school and told no one because I didn't want to go to the school nurse. I'm very lucky it didn't get infected, but at 7 I didn't know about such things, I just knew I didn't want to go to the school nurse.

I still have a scar on my right knee from falling on jagged ice while walking around the block at lunch time, more than 45 years ago and I also denied that it was that bad.. it is different but almost as prominent as my surgical scar on my left knee.

I also remember I got a big splinter deep in my heel from sliding across the wood floor on a throw rug. Of course this was forbidden activity so I didn't tell Mom. It started hurting but I used that as a reason not to play softball, which I hated anyway. Later when it got worse and my mom caught me limping, I had to admit what had happened.. off to the doctor and there was actually a line going up my ankle.. they numbed it but when they went in to pull out the splinter YOUCH! but the line left and I'm sure they cleaned it up and gave me peniillin but I gather it was stupidly dangerous to let it go.. I was pretty young.
