I really expected Miss USA to act more like Kayte than Kayte.

But Miss USA has something Kayte doesn't...parents that made them take pride in themselves.

I was actually embarrassed for Junior Fogal than she was for herself. Reminded me of my daughters when they don't get their way, but they're only 4 years old.

My daughter Tara would rip Kayte a new one.

Not an only child!
Married!
A teacher!

I'm pretty sure it is the EDITING that is making KAYTE look bad - LOL!

I couldn't believe how Kayte's Mom cried when they left Kayte in the swamp and had to decide if they wanted to come back for her. It wasn't like she was left alone. There was a cooler with water and who knows what else and there were other people there. I knew they would come back to pick her up. I don't think it's all bad editing. I think Kayte is a bit spoiled.

Yay to them going to Fort Pulaski! As a GA girl, I've been there many times myself. Was very cool to see them in a place I'm so familiar with. I also appreciated that they picked a historical place for the trek to the South rather than going the Amazing Race route and sending them to a mobile home park or some roadside attraction.

They really should have dumped Kayte when they had the chance. After all the grief she gave her dad about the mirror thing, which he turned out to be right about all along...she then turned around and did the same thing when they were digging. And every time after she ends up being wrong she says "I should have supported you more", but the next time she does the same thing.

Too bad for the Brown's that they didn't make it to the swamp before their brother collapsed. If he'd been able to make it that far, they could have dropped him without any penalty. Not that I was sad to see them go...they really didn't seem to be all that good at the game.

I didn't like the digging thing for the artifact, though. Just too random. In a show like this, I want to see them find the artifact based on skill, not just dumb luck.

Cdbga, someone above said the artifacts were buried in a star pattern -- not just randomly.

I know that the clue from the host said the dig would test their mettle, because they'd just have to dig with nothing telling them where to start or even how deep to dig in their search. Even with them buried in a star pattern, a few boxes would have to be dug up before that would help, right? So, while it might have helped the later teams (if they'd picked up on it), it was still very random for the early teams.

ROFL - Reading your comments is far more fun than the show!!! I haven't heard my kids carry on like Kayte since they were small and even then, I didn't take it for long! I'd make them go sit on the steps and close the door so they wouldn't be so loud. LOL (Ok, I admit it, sometimes I gave them a swat on the behind, but don't tell Soc. Services like they used to threaten they would do! I'd tell them to call cause I could use a vacation being locked up! Kids are too darn smart these days. heh heh)

I LOVE this show! I keep thinking I could never do the things these people are doing. It seems to be a lot more physical than TAR (but I love TAR, too!). Kayte Fogal was certainly a PITA, but I had to chuckle that her parents are "used to it." At some point you have to stop blaming the parents and start looking to a 24-year-old married TEACHER to be responsible for her own actions. My parents raised 5 children, and we all have very distinct personalities--and my oldest sister is definitely a PITA. I think it's just in her personality, my folks didn't raise her that way. I think Kayte's parents just did the best they could. I can't blame them for their adult daughter's behavior.

I, too, love that the Miss USA team persisted. I could see how exhausted they must have been, but I'm glad they kept at it. I hope they gave all the teams a really good rest (at least 24 hours) before the next leg. I'm exhausted just watching them!

Hey there, rather late to the discussions. Hope you will forgive the long post, so much to catch up.

My Sis from Phx came up and I've been taping all the shows. Didn't want to watch til she was here to share, plus didn't want read your threads to give it away. Last week we sat and watched the first 4 hours (a marathon) and I gotta tell ya all:

We are BOTH SERIOUSLY HOOKED & excited!

Sis said that Treas Hunters is now her 2nd fav (after TAR) and I'm in total agreement!!!! (Survivor has taken a nosedive for us the last several years frankly, altho we'll watch it.)

She had to take a week to go visit her daughter so I taped the last 'Continued' segment which we watched lastnight together. Now both chomping at the bit for Monday to get here. Sure fun to tell her some of the 'goodies' I later read here (after we watched). Would LOVE to be a bug on the wall to see reactions of Jr. Ms. Fogal's next batch of students - after watching the bloodcurdling screeches that she hated doing the horrible work of holding the flashlight. Oh My!

Sure were relieved that the "Geniuses" came back for Sam, and that the Endlessly-Nagging-Acting Genius later acknowledged that Sam was the one who saved their bacon timewise with the quilts, the mirrors and digging the pit!

We feel sad that the Browns were eliminated. Of any of the teams, we especially wanted them to be able to experience this part of the course since it was part of their legacy. But, then again, I hope the producers asked how they were handling, that was a LOT to ask of them to relive.

Watching the swamp part, I just couldn't STOP envisioning that, hard as this was, I would bet the female slaves must have had to maneuver with the drag of skirts as well - given the times. These folks had a heck of a time wearing pants and wader boots! Frankly I had nightmares, just couldn't STOP thinking. This was just such a powerful history lesson like I've never seen before.

Like I say, we are hooked! One thing to remember, though, is that the first TAR was a little clumsy too in terms of photography and stuff. It took the 2nd show before they really hit their stride to become the show we all know and love! Goodness! Have I got a LOT of posts to catchup/read from the beginning.

What happened? There is no spoiler thread, who is gone? Could it be the fogals? That would make me happy, LOL!

I'm glad the Fogals are gone since they acted so badly in some of the earlier episodes. Their more recent better behavior just doesn't make up for the earlier poor behavior, IMO. I was rather surprised that Katye didn't throw a fit when they were eliminated, lol. I really was glad that Air Force got to stay in it. They are the one team I am really rooting for.

it's a good week for tv evictions! I was so proud cuz i knew exactly what to do in the church after a couple of seconds and it took them hours! Did a lot of you guys figure it out too or was i extra smart tonite for a change! i needed that boost after stepping on my glasses and wrecking them tonite.. When I was little i used to write with invisible ink, i think lemon juice and make it appear over a flame..

Are they not able to use their computer to Ask.com about Ben Franklin and codes? That's the first thing I would do after getting the clue about secret codes.

1st tried Benjamin Franklin Secret Codes.
Then expanded to Secret Message Codes and Secret Writings per the suggested link on the right. Finally adding Benjamin Frankling back into the equation, I found the following:
Washington's agents wrote secret messages between the lines of personal letters using invisible ink (lemon juice) and other substances.

'squeek'

Also very nervous and at the end, glad was not eliminated. Phew!

I also knew right away about the candles and the lemon juice for invisible ink....I couldn't believe how long it took for the first 3 teams to figure it out, lol!

When they first found the masks and the clue stated the info was behind the man I thought it was contained in the mask. I wonder if they had broken the mask at that point would they have been sent directly to London. I think so.

I am rooting for the Southie boys so I was happy to see them shine tonight.

I'm so glad the Fogels are gone! They are sure not what I would consider Christians.
