I still love Fran and Barry, and I admire Fran's ability to read maps, which is very important key in this game. I like it that they won the trip to Rome, but didn't they just depart from Rome a couple days before?
Ray/Yolanda and frat boys seem to find the navigation challanging. Err as much as I love Ray to be a Greek, he should know better than fly the bird to Yolanda, especially after the tattoo crest showing last episode. Talking about respecting ladies, geez ....
I play neutral on the hippies, yes they're ugly and too frantic sometimes, but definetely add flavor to TAR. They always try to respect the locals by learning the local language, which very rare for Americans. LOL I can't imagine how grungier they will be after have to turn in their possession, i.e. no changing clothes, deodorant, etc? As if they were using them before the non-philimination.
MoJo is very bland, nothing happen (yet) except Monica's break down carrying a fish. Whoop de doo, fish juice all over you.
I can't believe they would go to Aussie first than Asia. And not so much in Africa, eh? (yet). Places I would love to see them going: Perth (Australia), Djibouti, Ghana, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Japan.
(hint: how about the shot of Mt. Fuji in the beginning of the episode?)
