I don't think the Hanlons have had luck of any kind. This may be years of practice. Or They may be intimated by what they perceive their intellect is versus the other teams and now are over thinking things to try and compensate. Look at the "genius" team. They were the only team to not get Mt. Rushmore. Taking on a name like that adds extra pressure. Once the "young professionals" confirmed their original answer with another team then the "geniuses" decided to go with it. Then they got rid of the one team (young pros) that knew that they may not be what they claim. Everyone seems to be looking for an advantage. Ok so the Hanlons could be faking. If they are, then they are the "Real" geniuses because I'm sold on the "dumb" role and I don't think that I'm by myself on that.

I'm really sorry that the Browns were eliminated, but the grads were awewome. True grit. I wonder if Mr. Fogel will have a congregation when this is over? Of course, he could be someone like Phelps, whose congregation is his family.

On the preview for next week's program, I thought I saw the Browns in the preview. Did anyone else notice this? Or was I just seeing things?? Perhaps they were just using some scenes from the past shows to put together the preview.

It looked like the Browns were in the previews. There's been speculation that maybe the Grads will have to drop out after all. That would be a shame after they showed such impressive teamwork and stamina tonight, but it would be nice to see the Browns still have a chance too. Let's hope the Fogels go soon! At least many of the other teams are on to them and I'm sure they'll spread that word to the rest of the teams who may not be aware of their tactics yet. Hopefully no one else will be fogel-ed!

The show is getting better .. but it still can't exactly be described (as someone earlier did) as TAR on steroids. Perhaps TAR on Lunesta

Maybe it's the editing, but I wonder if the Browns would've made it had they just moved a bit faster. Whenever they were shown they seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll instead of hustling. To not be able to beat the Hanlons even though they took a dinner break... On that subject, the Hanlons have gone from being entertaining to just pathetic in my eyes. It's one thing to struggle with a clue, but to actually leave to get a burger is ridiculous. It felt like they just gave up on the game at that point, and I was shocked that they made it back in time to stay in it. What was interesting about the Fogals was when the father asked if they were supposed to wait at the thirteenth star and the women said no. It was like he was truly oblivious to having done something crummy. Then the wife said she wanted to pray for the other teams, but I didn't hear her include them in her prayer at all. I thought I heard someone in the previews saying the other teams were working against them. Was that the Fogals?

I think the Hanlons are for real in that they really are having trouble figuring out things. The two of them that went in the mine were in there for ELEVEN HOURS. No telling how long before that since they had eaten. They should pick up some snack things to put in their backpacks in cases like that (all the teams), lol. The Browns definitely were in the previews so the girls must have to drop out and the Browns get to stay in at this point. The Fogels showed once again that they aren't to be trusted. Even after all the help the guys gave them helping to carry the Fogels boat they still turned out to not be nice back. I bet they won't get anymore help. I really admire the spirit and courage of the girl with the sprain to carry on and her teammates were tremendous with carrying her to keep going.

It may have looked like the Browns were taking a leisurely stroll. But I think they were just trying to breath as they walked. Even without really exerting myself, if I get into just a little altitude, add even a slight incline, and then mix in my lack of fitness and my asthma, and its a real struggle to even walk down the sidewalk. Last time we were in Central City (our gambling town in the mountains), it was like I was trying to push against a brick wall and walk at the same time. My lungs completely clamped up like I was in the grips of a boa constrictor. So what may have looked like a leisurely stroll to some was really the slow methodical struggle to keep putting one foot in front of the other while desperately trying to take in adequate air. It was a whole different experience, completely different than just being out of breath after a little exertion.

I find this show boring. The editing is terrible. Wild Waltons spend 11 hours in the mine, make an 80 mile side trip for a burger and don't finish last? How can this be? We saw the knee injury and canoe tip over but all with no time frame. The subtitles giving the order of the teams came at odd times and had no context. I find TAR boring at times too. What I find tedious is watching each team do the same challenge/clue over and over. However TAR offers suspense, a feeling of urgency and a host that ties the show together. It is impossible to become involved with the Treasure Hunters not knowing where they stand. How can you sit on the edge of your seat in hopes of your favorite making it if you have no clue as to where they are in the line up?

No Chicago... I saw the Browns too. It puzzled me as it looked like they were arguing with someone by the ocean....Maybe it was a clip from a previous show? My roommate speculated that the Grad Students got pulled from the race for medical reasons, and therefore the Browns were reinstated... Guess time will tell... I think this show will only get better with time. Although its a lot like TAR, it has elements that call for a different style of editing. I think with practice, the producers will "fine tune" their technique. I personally think that TH has elements that TAR had originally strived for...like the puzzle solving in order to learn their next destination. But it takes some teams too long to figure out the puzzles, which took away from the adrenaline rush of urgency that TAR also wanted. I think that's why TAR just tells the teams where to go and what to do, because the whole focus is the race. TH is more about the puzzles and actual "hunting" part... I think given time and more shows, TH will find a good balance between the race and the hunting aspects of this show.

I think we can consider it fact that the Browns are back because the injured grad cannot continue.

I think the Browns are still in the race because the coming attactions said something about watching a fight between 2 teams and then the clip showed the Browns with another team?? Hanlons, I don't know since I was shocked seeing The Browns I did not register who was the second team. I was upset with the Hanlons taking a 160 mile round trip for a hamburger. ...but you got a point that they were in the mines for 11 hours and then probably did not want to stop and eat before going on since they did not want to stay in last place. When they could not figure out the clue-that's when they decided they needed some fuel and figured that they were still in the race. The grad students really impressed me. The Fogels once again let me down. I don't know why they always select a Christian team which acts anything but Christian. I can not believe that they allowed another team to carry their boat 9 miles and then took off like they did to the other teams. Iknow it is a race...However, one should not suspend basic fairness and morality. I would have thought that they would have formed an alliance with the Southies...but that was not to happen. I hope they fail soon and miserably.

yeah....I have to agree that the grad students are going to have to pull out because of the injury and they'll let the Browns back in (but wouldn't it have been fun for them to do a merge? Let the two healthy grads continue if they're willing to team with one of the Browns...but it's producer's choice)

I hope everyone is right and the Browns are back in! I really like them and the love they have for each other. They way the support and encourage each other is great. I would say they were more of the Christian family than the Falons. I think all the teams should pull together and go against the Falons just to get them out. They're cheaters, and that prayer was very false. (IMHO) I love love love the Hanlons. They just crack me up to no end. All in all I am rooting for Air Force or Southie Boys, perhaps CIA too!

The Browns are shown competing next week in the promo. It appeared at the end of the show. It is fact.

One of the Southie boys posts at FORT. I asked him about how the Wild Waltons mangaged to recover from what appeared to be a huge time deficiency. If he does not have a gag order on that maybe I will get an answer.
