Just ing eliminate Terri and Henry already!!!
A rather bland episode, and we *still* haven't been shown why the
"yummy mummies" who are "good at blowing" deserve to be yielded...

Have to agree with you. Two NELs in a row? Dash it all, why are my
girls so useless at the moment.
It was another Aurelia leg, where the last placed team had no chance
of catching up. Glad to see marked for elimination back, much better
than the removal of cash.

When they weren't short-circuited before doing the 'bow' task, I had
that sinking feeling...
I don't know whether I'm more frustrated by T&H's continued
survival or by Collin and Adrian's continued near-misses.
'Bow' was probably the faster/safer choice, but I have a feeling
that completing 'Blow' was extremely satisfying.

Finished watching it on UTube. I see someone tried a very anemic
attempt to get on a flight by saying her aunt was sick. Yeah, I'm
sure they believed that one. Was it Diane? that told Ann to fast
forward her husband's message so they could get going again. Not
the usual sappy response yah might expect :0)
Overall, pretty boring epi. Where last week it was only a 30 minute
difference between first and last place starting times, this week's
was about 4:20 between first and last.

Just a few thoughts on the latest episode:
Vanessa and Paula made a great move at the airport to somehow get an earlier
flight out that the mini-alpha-males despite those guys getting a near 2
hour headstart to the airport. Unfortunately they blew that lead when the
got to the bridge and didn't know the difference between holy and holey.
This entire episode was spent with Marc/Rovilson out front and Henry/Terri
in the back. However, the other 4 teams shuffled about throughout the leg
and seem to be very evenly matched. Those 4 at the end would make for a
very even/competitive race.
The best part of racing in Asia is that I learned Europe is part of Asia.

Since I don't see what significance "base" would have to the viewers, that
appears to be an inside joke between them and that contradicts the
suggestion that their hamming is merely for the camera.

Yes, that was poorly designed. Clearly TARA's lower budget doesn't afford
them a top-notch production crew. I've even noticed spelling errors on
clues, which means not only do the writers suck but so do the editors for
putting those shots on the air.
