Watching, correct. Kisha/Jen were close several times but said it slightly wrong and said something completely different from the order. (We got to see the translation of what they said and some of them were kind of outlandish.)

I agree -- the U turn is just too much for a team to recover from. It's basically giving the first team the power to decide who leaves.

Thanks, Raen! Glad you're here!

ETA: But I hope I'm wrong this time and J/K survive!

Back with Jaime/Cara still struggling. They decide to go back to where they started and re-trace their steps.

Kisha/Jen at the ROADBLOCK. Jen is going to do it. She jokingly asks, "Do you have ketchup?" She starts eating and Kisha wants to know if it tastes like chicken. Jen, "Hell no, it doesn't taste like chicken!"

Jaime/Cara finally get back and find it and head off. Jaime/Cara bickering a little about whose fault it is that they didn't come back. In the cab, Cara says she thinks they are just both pooped.

Margie/Luke arrive at mat and are Team #2. They cheer and hug. Phil congratulates them and tells them they are one of the three teams that will be racing to finish line. Luke says he can't believe he's in the final three. Margie says she thought she was doing this for Luke but that's not true anymore. She's having such a great time and this means the world to her.

Back with Jen eating her food. Jaime/Cara arrive now. Kisha says they need to hurry up and Jen doesn't think Jaime/Cara are going to eat it in one big gulp.

Jen having trouble now. Jaime/Cara says if they eat it faster than Jen you won't taste it as much. Cara is going to do the task for them.

Jen still eating slow here. Kisha wants her to hurry up but she throws up a little. She is almost there. Jen now has to pee. She says she has to get through this... Kisha tries to tell her to slow down on the water.

Jen finishes and off they go. They wish Jaime/Cara good luck. The first taxi Kisha/Jen try doesn't know where the pit stop is... Kisha/Jen finally find a taxi who knows where to go as Jaime/Cara getting close to finishing.

Jaime/Cara are done now and head off. They get one and head off. They leave their gnome but realize it quickly and go back to get it.

Both teams racing in their cabs now. Kisha says they really would have had Jaime/Cara show up a little later so that they'd have more space between them.

Jen/Kisha within site of the pit stop area. Jen says she's going to ask Phil if he can wait to check them in until Jen goes to the bathroom. Kisha/Jen arriving but they stop at porta-potties first.

Jaime/Cara running now as we see Kisha/Jen waiting at the bathroom. (Not sure if the time is the same here.)

Both searching now. Jaime/Cara are somewhere that need tickets and they say that can't be it.

Jaime/Cara are Team #3 and they are still in the race. They hug.

Kisha/Jen arrive now but they are the last team to arrive and have been eliminated from the race. They are bummed. Phil asks about the stopping for the bathroom. He says it came down to seconds. He wants to know how they are feeling now. Jen says she feels guilty as hell because she had to use the bathroom. Kisha says she doesn't hold it against her at all. She doesn't feel like she lost it for them. Says she is a big part of why they even got this far. Jen says she is just happy because Kisha is proud of her and that she's proud of Kisha. Says they've grown as people and as sisters. Happy they shared it together.

interesting that Margie said they had an "alliance" (or understand - not sure which word she used) with Tammy and Victor as well as with Jaime and Cara!

So it truly helped the ""alliance' to have V/T use the u-turn!

I would have peed myself, too! The heck w/the bathroom. At least they had a good attitude about leaving.

I guess I'm rooting for Tammy and Victor, too.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? They were THAT close and lost because someone had to pee? OFGS, I'd have peed myself if it was an elimination!

At any rate, yay! The three teams I waned in F3 are, so should be an interesting finale. I bet Tammy and Victor win, but I'd be happy with any of the three.

Seems to me that they spent a disproportionate amount of time in China giving Tammy and Victor a clear advantage and then they get the easiest competition, saying a menu in chinese which obviously lends them to be in a prime position to control the uturn. I am not happy at how this episode went at all. It just seems like the whole thing is rigged for Tammy and Victor to win with the Luke and Margie to come in second.

I have lost interest in this

Next time: Hawaiian Luau has teams going hog wild (having to carry hog and having trouble). Jaime sings a familiar tune (giving person a hard time) and surf's up as old alliance members face off.

Phil says it's the season finale we won't want to miss. Who will cross the finish line first in a race for a million dollars?

T/V made the right call here- it was noted that Tammy wrote on the picture at the U-Turn "Sorry, but I can't beat you in a footrace" or something to that effect. J/C might self-destruct and has a lot of time to make up, and Margie is the oldest player left- you could say T/V is the best team athletically of the three left.

I don't have a problem with any of the teams left- but I do wonder if the mentioning that J/C haven't won a leg last ep is foreshadowing- they don't win any legs EXCEPT the one that matters...

Maris -- ITA. Tammy and Victor seem very nice but it's hard for me to root for them when they've had the last couple legs handed to them. I'm not rooting for or against anyone at this point.

I agree it gave Tammy and Victor an advantage with the time they spent in China. Even if all of this is "set up" prior to the race beginning, I think they should not have picked a team who could speak the language and had been to one of their locations. That being said, I like them best of who is left.

I wonder if they spent so much time in China because it was a deal they made to get permission to film in the country? Because it is unusual for the race to spend so much time in the same country.

I'm not fond of the U-Turn being used in the last leg of the race (by the producers, I mean, not the racers). But, on the flip side, Kisha/Jen just weren't very good racers. If they had found that U-Turn right away they wouldn't have been in such a precarious position.

Actually, we have a 2 in three chance of a TAR first next week-

If Luke/Margie win, they'll be the first parent/child team to win.

If Jamie/Cara win, they'll be the first all-female team to win.

If Tammy/Victor win, they'll the the 2nd brother/sister team to win in a row (Nick/Starr were the first brother/sister team to win)

T&V most definitely had an advantage in that task. As they said, Chinese is a tonal language, full of nuance. So even if you wrote down what the "customers" said phonetically, it would be very hard to remember the tone/emphasis of each word, and if the tone is off, that would change the meaning of the word, making it non-sensical. Definitely seemed like an unfair task to me too. They're a nice couple, but I'd rather see the two girls win. I felt sorry for the sisters who lost by such a slim margin.

Even Tammy and Victor got it wrong at first and they knew the language.

I guess we're all just a bunch of "pee on themself" folks around here. LOL :-)

Too pee or not to pee, that is the question?

I have a feeling we'll find out in the next few days that it wasn't as close as we think (either Phil will say something or K/J will). If it ended up being more than 60 seconds or so, the pee break wouldn't have mattered probably.
