Any ideas what the other teams could try, while staying within the rules and still being (relatively) good sports?

They need to be hoisted on their own petard, so to speak, by being tripped up on their own arrogance.

I loved when Kevin/Drew misdirected them on the roofs at the Star Wars Mos Eisley spaceport! More of the same would be excellent.

Maybe one of the others can suggest someone in the casbah (or wherever that Arabic marketplace is) misdirect them?

Being even more underhanded, maybe reset their watches to make them late somewhere (though that would take some real sleight-of-hand.)

Anything the other teams do to cause Guidos to lose is all right by me at this point. What goes around comes around!

Pay off their taxi driver to get lost....the question is how? Or hopefully next time when they have to get to an airport, someone else will get there first and bribe the agents to hold them up..unless some groups can get ahead of them, it will be tough.

If everyone is in a hotel, call the hotel operator from the hotel lobby (not from your own room) late at night to cancel the wakeup call to the Guidos' room. Say you are already up and you do not need the wakeup call.

If all the groups are together at the train station, have everyone get on a train just before it is leaving the station. Do it seeing that the Guidos' are going to follow you, (just like at the airport last night). Then once the Guido's are on, everyone walk off the train in the other direction just before as it leaves the station. We have seen that the Guidos can be so uncertain of themselves that they just might fall for it and be stuck on the train.

Everything else I can think of:
a) requires too much bribe money for a non-playing accomplish, or
b) might be too close to a disqualifying incident to risk.

I say just freak them out and stay close to them. I know it will be really difficult for them (the group), but the Guido's won't know what to do with everyone hanging out with them. I mean every chance they get inbetween running.

You could accidently wrinkle or spill something their matching outfits and force them to wait until after 4pm for turnaround from a local drycleaner. LoL.

Realtvfan I wish you were in the race, because it sounds like you would do somthing to stop the

twins. They are so bad that I find my self thinking just like you. You know if me and you are thinking it, the other racers have to be thinking it too! So....maybe......just maybe we'll get to see some good paybacks coming. Bert and Ernie will deserve all they get. (dreams are very creative outlets aren't they)hehehe

The best thing to do would be to ignore them and carefully cover their tracks the way the Frat Boys did at Tatooine or when player spun the binoculars at the Eiffel Tower so it wasn't pointing to the flag for the next team.

Team Guido feels they are the best players and that everyone else is looking to them for direction and as they said last week the others are focusing on them and not the game. If all the other teams ignored them and continued to help each other it would drive them nuts. At first they would think that the other teams were being stupid not to pay attention them but after a while they would start to worry that the others knew something they didn't. The Guidos would start focusing on the other teams to see why they are ignoring them and not focus on the race.

Good plan Corrie... I want the Guidos to make it to the end.. the more paranoid the better.. and then lose ... that will make the show much more fun...
And they showed they were nutty at the airport when they thought everyone was watching them...they should be easy to manipulate...the Frat boys and the lawyers are pretty smart.. they should be able to do some more stuff like they did in the Colosseum!

I like Tillie's idea. If they REALLY love their dog, they would go home to it!!

Good plan. Though I believe the Guidos are the ones focusing on the other teams, not the other way around. During the last episode (which I watched again with my son) they kept staring at the other teams, watching them, seeing how far ahead they were, talking about them, basically OBSESSING about them--all the while protesting that everyone was talking about THEM.

Of course, they're too blind to see it!

Great ideas, everyone. I hope something like that happens! Lose, Guidos, LOSE.

I bet Team Guido is very alert to possible sabotage. They won't pay attention to another teams take on things. No way.

I wonder if at some point the game requires you to team with another team for anything. That would be interesting to watch. NY guys and Guido.

REALFAN: Tell the drycleaners that I am Joe's maid and he failed to instruct the cleaners to add some really strong bleach to Joe's colours because he likes them to be really clean-No more twins, Tye-Dyed Joe. It would be hilarious....or to add a ton of startch so that they have cardboard clothing. They'd lose the race for sure because they wouldn't be able to move!
