I was so sad that the GT's were eliminated. And DH and I couldnt figure out how he couldnt get that combination of letters. Then i read an interview today on People with them. And Big Easy said he had written down all the combinations and "Franz" was one of the ones he had written down. He thought he had already used that and it wasnt right, so he wasnt going to try it again. So he would have really been there a long time trying to figure it out! They are such good sports about everything though and I really think they are one of my all-time favorite teams now. They said they really enjoyed the race, and I think they really mean that.
I just dont want the brothers to win. The other two teams are fine with me.
I cheated and read the thread before I had the opportunity to watch.
BE did have a comment during the episode when he was not able to figure it out that he had so much written down and he couldn't tell what he had used or not. I don't recall the exact quote, but it did catch my attention. (on his clue I even saw FARNZ, but it was so quick and I never relooked to see if I could see FRANZ in his zillions of combinations he had written down.)
I like that the speed bumps have been easier. I think it makes it a little more fair for the team that is required to do the speed bump, giving them a real fighting chance rather than just spending another leg on the race and being sent home anyway.
I agree--much better than losing your belongings and begging. I really didn't like that, though some teams were able to get past that.
Ohh I was confused with the other thing cannot remember the name, but one team could slow another team down.
But yes, the speed bumps are easier now. My bad.
I forget what that was called. I like the "extra" challenge beng something easy on the speed bump.
They had 2 that could slow someone down--one was a timer where they couldn't start the task until they waited and I thought the other was that they'd have to go do the other detour. Anyone remember that?
I personally do not like other teams impacting a team in that manner. I just like regular racing and the penalties that Phil provides.
***************
Episode: They show Meghan and Cheyne getting off the bikes--and only them. I imagine that once they were in 140 below for 2 minutes that their core temps will drop so the bikes are just want anyone would do who goes to that facility to make sure they are properly warmed and not at riskf or hypothermia. Just guessing though.
The brothers are nasty--I can't stand them and I hope they don't win. They hypocrasy is astounding and they would have been livid and blaming the GT if BE had found it first and screaming so loud in ranting over it that their mommy and daddy would hear it all the way back home. Funny how they think they can beat Meghan and Cheyne but the GT who they have beaten more times made them too scared in their baywatch skivvies.
And I was laughing at Erica's comment after being called out on the American attitude. I really felt for her b/c folks were bugging her and she seems to be the kind that really gets irritated when folks are up in her face. I don't really blame her and if it is considered a bad American attitude to not want drunks all up in your face--I'm okay with that.
