They make me crazy when the task is easy and they waste time whining. Just keep opening the damn dolls! Geesh!

Haha, I agree Azriel. I understand that it's frustrating but it's not hard and if they would just do it methodically they'd get much further along.

Dang! I hate TBC! Funny, too, cause I just looked at the clock and went "oops, better go see who got kicked off" and dagnabit! No one did! Once again... Thanks for spoiling!!! BELLINIS!

Great job Raen! BJ & Tyler and David & Lori are by far my favorites on this race. David & Lori are really nice and playing a great steady game and the hippies are a lot of fun and seem to be nice guys as well. Notice how they were kind enough to show Fran and Barry what the clue looked like when they found it.

wow, disliking lake more each episode. i can't imagine hearing my dentist call his wife a 'biotch' on national tv and wanting to stay in their practice!! also, she specifically told him to turn right and he got mad and turned left and got them way the hell out in timbuktu. and how could the pinks leave their most important item in the dressing room?! i would have given it to my partner if i had to change clothes in case someone else removed it from the dressing room. michelle took off her fanny pack, too, with all their important things in it when they were in a cab. i am always paranoid about losing my wallet or tickets or whatever. i double-check way too many times when my dd went to europe last june her best friend had to stay in france because she took off her money belt at dinner the last night and either dropped it or had it stolen. she had to stay and wait for the embassy to open and then get an emergency passport and her dad had to pay for her and the teacher-chaperone to fly home--over 1400 dollars! about a month ago, someone mailed the money belt to her and everything was in it--i.d., euros, passport, etc., so my guess is she dropped it in the restaurant, otherwise at least the money would have been gone... i love bj and tyler and david and lori, too. the boys really took a minute to look at the beauty of the cathedral, which impressed me. i agree that if you are at the former training center for olympic divers and your clue says 'take a plunge', a person afraid of water should know not to choose that task! wow, she was much further under water when she jumped from the diving board. i kept shouting at her to let her air out or get out and dive in or something to get her below the surface. for me, if we were near a small airport and the clue said something about taking a plunge, well that would not be me, because dollars to krispy kremes, it would involve sky-diving. but then i could not go on TAR with my dd, either, because i wouldn't want her to do it, so i'd have to do it and then it wouldn't matter, because i would die of fear before i ever left the plane. maybe before i even left the ground!

Can you believe Lake's wife asked him if he really wanted her to be in a swimsuit in front of all those people -- did you see those people -- it looked like a senior citizens water exercise class...LOL! Besides, with Yolanda around I doubt that Lake's wife would be that much eye candy.

I think that's precisely what Michelle was thinking, Roxip -- she'd be the not-so-hot older woman compared to Yolanda or Danielle.

Lake's wife acted so crazy it was laughable tonight. My favorite line from her was when Lake first told her that she should be the one to take the plunge and she looked at him like he was insane and screamed, "What if I have to get NAAAA-KID!?!?!" Her eyes were almost bulging out when she said it. I thought it was just hilarious. Michelle must think they are playing the new R-rated version of the Amazing Race.

YEah, there's something strange about Lake's wife and her fear of being seen in a swim suit. This isn't Baywatch, it's TAR. I'm not sure if she's implying Lake will be jealous if anyone sees her naked body or if she's just got some personal hang ups. Very odd. I'm loving the hippies the most too. They are enjoying the race so much and that make for good entertainment.

BJ and Tyler are getting final 3 editing. They stop to smell the roses and enjoy the view.

I loved it when the animal house guys hit the mat and Phil told them they were first to the mat, but they weren't done yet and handed them the next clue. I just can't stand those guys and I'm hoping for a rotten taxi driver from hell that drives them 50 miles out of the way.

I noticed several people putting the Matreska dolls back together after not finding a clue inside. Do you think they HAD to put them back together? They must have...otherwise what a waste of time. I also noticed a camera shot of Lake and Michelle doing that task, and Lake had his dolls lined up, neatly, in descending order. NOt surprised.

Fiat - I wondered why they were putting the dolls back together since it took up time so I'm guessing they were supposed to do it???? The one thing I noticed about the "frat boys" was they were very respectful in that cathedral. I heard one of them whisper that it was a sacred place and they went out of the sanctuary to read their clue. I thought they weren't as bad tonight as other nights. Lake and his wife are a disaster. I want them gone NOW! The one thing I like about this race so far is that the teams all seem to be nice to one another, so far! That's a big difference from other seasons where they started being snarky right off the bat.

BJ & Tyler were the ones who went outside of the Cathedral to read their clues. The frat boys might have done it too but I noticed BJ & Tyler specifically. Some of the others just ripped into it and read.

I swear time moves faster when I watch this show. I was startled to notice it was 10:56 pm and the first team hadn't even arrived at the mat yet. I thought to myself, "10:56?! Some of the teams haven't even completed their Detours yet!". And that's when I realized that it was going to be a TBC, lol. I always love it when there's a zip line. Has anyone here ever gotten to ride on one? The Cathedral at the monastery was awe-inspiring. Seems sorta wasteful to have that heated pool open to frigid temperatures, guess it depends. Interesting variety of tasks this episode, too bad most of the taxi drivers had trouble finding the trolley place. There's been a number of teams this season that have sent a Racer to do a Roadblock that terrified them. I guess that's good and bad. May have caused some delays but every one has pulled through so far, so yea! Foot-in-the-mouth of the week - Monica (all I know is Russians drink and smoke a lot) and Lake (most everything he said). And I still don't get Michelle's comment at the Roadblock. This is TAR, not America's Next Porn Star. My favorite part was when BJ & Tyler leapt out at Eric & Jeremy's car. Cracked me up !

I got to do a zip line at one of those kid's climbing places, so it wasn't very high and it wasn't very far. DD, who's 4, wouldn't go unless I went beside her. It was a blast! We went 3 times. I'd like to do a real one if I ever got the chance even though the height would really frighten me.

Maybe they put 'em back together to minimize the odds that someone else would more easily find whatever it was they were looking for (I've not finished watching yet). Also, I noticed Lake said "we" when talking about the screw up when he turned the wrong way (when his wife said to turn the other way). He said something about "we screwed up" and um, no, you are the one behind the wheel! 'K... back to watching the rest of this show!

Lucky you, Brenda! Seems like every episode I have to mentally add at least one place or one activity that I'd love to visit or get to try, lol. Yeah, some of them I already dreamed about, but actually seeing them on the show...wow! There was the sledging in New Zealand; paragliding in Patagonia; communing with the orangutans in Borneo; Iceland; the Giza plateau at twilight; the waterfalls in Brazil; the zipline in Zambia (I think) and on and on...plus getting to see so many different cultures and people! Costacat: Yeah, Lake seems very generous when it comes to sharing the blame for his mistakes, lol. Michelle needs to step up too, though.

Just lovin' BJ and Tyler. I like how respectful they are of the people and places (even removed hat in the chapel), but are still having a great time. Wonderful ambassadors for the USA unlike many teams we have seen in the past Lake is driving me nuts - he seems to be a very negative person.

Loved the look on Eric and Jeremy's faces when they realized they weren't in first but that it was an ongoing leg. No prizes for you! Tyler was my daughter's boyfriend's RA at Santa Cruz and says what you see is what he is. He knows something about everything and he's just a really good guy.

I just returned from a trip to Argentina & Brazil where it was the hottest summer on record to find it snowing in parts of the San Francisco Bay area! So I can understand the comment of the guy in Moscow in winter saying he wanted to go back to Brazil. My DH would not let me go parasailing in Rio, tho we did see Iquassu Falls. Only the Hippies seem to be enjoy the sights & speaking phrases without notes. Hope they win.

I agree, I am loving BJ and Tyler also! They are having fun, taking time to enjoy the experience and are nice to the other teams ~ such a refreshing change from the way many teams have acted in the last few seasons. When I saw them on the first show, I thought they were going to be annoying, but I find myself enjoying them a lot. I hope they go far.......a LOT farther than Lake and Michelle........

I have a question that I've wondered about before. When the teams come to a Roadblock, do they read the question and then have to decide who is going to do it before they know what the task is?
