Fortunately, I missed that floppage. I guess we see what we're looking for. Another good show this week. I laughed over Phil whistling to get Mark & Michael's attention. These teams are all pretty nice.

I thought the underwear was provided since it all looked like the same brand and was in similar colors as a kind of product placement. "Strip down and you'll get free underwear provided by . . . ".

My hat's off to the Racers who did the Roadblock, I can't imagine how cold they must have been. I remember on TAR 1 there was a polar bear dip Roadblock but that was over pretty quickly. I'm not sure which would be be more frigid. The water'd be more of a shock but the running lasted longer, I thought. Was relieved Christie & Jodi weren't eliminated but they'll need to get their act together if they hope to make up ground on the next leg. I like all the teams and don't have a favorite at the moment. It's been a fun season so far, some very good tasks and beautiful & interesting locations. India is always a culture shock for me just as a viewer. ETA: I also liked TAR better with more FFs and no Yields or U-Turns or intersections.

Oh but I do think the addition of the speed bump is much, much, much better than having last place teams beg for money. That was awful.
 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Calamity, I remember that polar bear road block. I think it was in Korea, and they had to swim underwater in icy conditions. Brrrrr!!! I think the water would be worse because it would just suck your body temperature right away. I get shivers just thinking about it. Okay, I'm bad, but I actually backed up the DVR three times (3 X's!) to see Phil in his undies. And I was definitely checking the guys out for floppage (I love that word!). Slightly OT, but I remember when I was in college my BF at the time took me to the gym to put some muscle on me. There was a guy there wearing cutoff shorts and no undies. Boy, did I get an eyeful when he lay down on the bench press! (It's been nearly 35 years and I'm still traumatized!)

I think the running 1.4 miles would probably not be all that bad. They did the four minute warm up to get the blood to the surface, and then it would take about ten minutes at the most to complete, and you would be generating body heat. I would worry more about slipping on the ice than about any possible hypothermia.

When Cara was walking, it made me wonder if she's usually a smoker.. and the thought of Linda trying that one.. ACKKK.

I would have trouble running a mile without stopping, and I'm not a smoker (just old). I was totally worried about someone slipping on that ice, too. As a native Californian, the whole episode just looked cold to me! Brrrrr!!!

I would have trouble walking a mile much less running 1.4 miles. In cold like that, I would probably just run down like a drained battery. They would need to bring the Energizer Bunny to keep me going.

dont forget they were wearing boots!! I HATE running in the winter - it was app 20 deg F - even without a windchill - I want pants, undergarmets (I prefer under armor btw!) jacket, gloves, polar tech jacket - and hat!! and RUNNING SHOES!! Those boots just dont bend the right way, and they are heavy to pick up!! (and it was SPRING today, so I ran 2 miles!! well, I call it running, even tho MOST people could walk faster!! and I was glad I had my polar tech jacket with me - I'd say it hit 65 F with a bit of a wind! nope, cant imagine running in undies - even with NO floppage!! roflol!)
