Half hour to go. I really find this show hard to get into. It is not holding my attention like TAR does. I don't even really cares who wins or who gets kicked out.... I wish I liked it more.

I'm shocked that no one posted about the show. I'm on the west coast so it's still two hours to go here till it's on.

I am loving this show! It actually takes some BRAINS!! A nice change from many of the other - not to be named - reality shows! If I can't have "The Mole" back, this will do for a substitute! Yes, they have lots to learn about editing and camera time, but let's not forget that all the other shows had a first season as well! Also please remember that this is more like "musical chairs" where ALL but one wins - not a track meet where ONLY one wins! With all of that said - I look forward to next week! And to my lunch on Thursday with The Owl when we can discuss this show and BB!! Oops, we will have only one episode of each to discuss!!

New show was aired after repeat of last week. Grueling expedition to a plantation in SC. The show ended w/ a .....to be continued note. Basically, the genius's left their asthma impaired teammate behind and don't know if they will come back for him. and The Brown family had an injury of their players. So no loser as of closing credits. The theme of the end was "team" or "time". Which was more important. So we'll have to wait until next week to find answer.

I asked this in the Website Game portion of the TH folder, but maybe its more appropriate here.... OK, this is a question about the weekly chance to win $10,000. I'm finding my brain to be all addled and befuddled, and I don't trust that I'm reading/interpreting the rules correctly, or converting the EST/PST time periods to MST correctly. The rules on THIS page say, "at approximately 9:10 P.M. EST-9:50 P.M. EST "First Entry Period" AND AGAIN AT 9:10 PST-9:50 P.M. PST....To learn the Entry Night Question via the Internet, viewers in the Mountain Time Zone can go to go nbc.com/TREASURE during one or both of the Entry Periods on each Entry Night." So, since I'm in the Mountain Time Zone, I don't really enter the weekly thing on line when the show actually airs here (at 8pm Mountain). It looks like I can either enter from 7:10-7:50 Mountain (during the 9:10ETS time period), or from 10:10-10:50 Mountain (during the 9:10PST time period). But then again, the hours of play listed HERE says "Hours of game play are 8-10pm ET, 7-9pm CT and 8-10pm PT." So just when the heck am I really eligible to enter this thing from my location? Also, doesn't it say they announce the weekly winner on the air? I've never seen such said announcement. But then, since I'm viewing it during Mountain time, maybe they don't air the announcement here. Maybe they've already picked their winner by the time I watch the show, and my trying to enter is just futile anyway.

Looks like you have to enter between 7-9p Central Time. So, about the show - I'm in the middle of it. Love the history lessons (the show, the game, and the Genworth commercial).

I think they choose a winner in each time zone and announce them during that airing, because where I live they announce the winner during the very last segment of the show, and it's always been someone in the Eastern time zone. I know the geniuses aren't above doing underhanded stuff, but I can't imagine that they'll ditch their friend when he didn't seem to even want to be let go. It's not like the Fogal daughter who begged to be cut loose. Why they went back for her is beyond me. They are much nicer parents than I would've been. Oh, the whining! I think the geniuses were just venting their frustration, but they'll still go back for him. Unfortunately, I think the Browns will probably be out again. Even without the 3 hour delay, they just seem to be moving so slowly compared to the others. They probably lost a good bit of time just waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

I was surprised at the Fogal family and it put them in a better light. I thought for sure they would leave Kayte and pull ahead. Who wouldn't want to leave that whiny child behind?

I am in the central time zone and we watch with the eastern people. There is never a winner from the central time zone. They always announce the winner at the end but as Curly said, the winner has always been in the eastern time zone. Ritfie, we were also surprised at earlier in the show when the Fogals were sharing information with another team. I was also surprised that they came back for Kayte and will be interested to see if the Geniuses come back for Sam. Since it's not looking like they will, they'll probably be back. I feel so bad for the Browns. They were just struggling the whole show and then to have Keith injured....

I'm in California and so far they have had winners in the Pacific time zone in both California and Nevada that I've seen. As I understand it there is one winner in the earlier time zone and one in the later. I hope the Browns are able to continue and whether they were able to or not I hope Keith was able to recover from his injury.

Cutthroat or not... the little drama queen was getting on my nerves...BIG TIME. She was acting like a little spoiled brat to me...and as a parent, had she been my daughter, I'd a left her behind in a heartbeat. But then if she were my daughter and I knew what a "princess" she was, I never would have taken her along to begin with.

Yuu've got a point about the Fogals, Fab. I would like to have heard the discussion between the parents on the boat ride. As a mother I could have not left my son behind (I don't have a daughter). My dh would say "see ya!". Anyway I think the Fogals are like a lot of "religious" game players. They are moral when it suits them. Is that the way it has to be?

BTW Kep, I don't know if you are a mom or a dad, I'm not commenting on your parenting philosophy. I already know I am over indulgent.

I can't comment on the Fogal daughter...I would get modded and they don't need me adding to their workload right now...except to say that I was really hoping a crocodile would make an appearance. I can't wait to read Tabby Lavalamp's take on it. I felt bad for poor Sam. And am so worried about Keith. Keith and water of any kind don't mix apparently. To my surprise, I am really liking Team Miss USA. Not feeling Team Air Force or Team Ex-CIA yet, but I'm not giving up on them. Still loving this show. TAR is going to lose some of it's appeal when we have to go back to running through airports, and mindless tasks. I really liked that they had to decipher the clue and figure out how to use the poem to follow the map.

I would've left the Fogel daughter sitting by that tree. Ugh she would not last in my household. The poor Browns, they just didn't have a clue.

I LOVE this show! I am enjoying every episode, and appreciate that it IS different from TAR - which I also LOVE! I do wonder if the two Browns will be allowed to continue on without Keith. At least the Hanlons aren't there to gripe about it if they are!! I am also wondering if the two Geniuses will go back to get their buddy? And I would have snapped up the chance to drop Kayte! Any ideas?

It's wierd on TAR I usually have one or two teams that I like but on this show I don't care who wins. I'm just enjoying viewing all the historic places. I can't understand why the Fogal daughter is not in as good of condition as her parents. Does she has some kind of problem? Her parents were able to make it through without saying they couldn't do it or that they wanted to give up. That whining all the way would have pi$$ed me off for sure. <<Can I say that some of the younger generation seem to be getting lazier?>> The Browns may have thought the show was going to be somewhat easier than TAR, instead it is just as physically demanding. Tntitanfan said, "I am also wondering if the two Geniuses will go back to get their buddy? If they leave Sam behind he will feel so bad and probably never, ever forget it.

When I watched the leave or not leave behind portion of the competition it made me think about the slaves who traveled this same route and many times they had to make the decision to leave someone behind. So, I admit that as a mother there would be no way I would have not gone back for my child even if she was whining. I just kept seeing a parallel between the show and what was unfortunately a reality of the past. Just a thought!

Pamy that would be a great twist! But that would mean the Brown's probably would be out, since it doesn't look like Keith can continue on. The Geniuses, I think, will go back for Sam. They seem to be good kids. Willsfan, I am wondering what possess the Fogal parents to put up with the whiny behavior. I know I said I was indulgent but seriously my son stopped acting like that when he turned 3.
