I ALWAYS forget the show is on... and once again, missed most of it. I caught the last 15 minutes, and was surprised to see the Brown family still in it.

Why were they reinstated?

i think the previous week's episode comes on an hour before the new episode starts.

why was the air force team arguing about people teaming up against them? they were the ones who got there first and left because they thought they got the right answer. the other teams got there together and had to team up for the two locations.

i wonder how long it takes for them to figure out the clues? i probably would not have figured out the lanterns clue as fast and would probably have sugested digging up graves to see if things were buried, lol.

The Grad students team (3 girls) had to drop out of the race, because one of them injured her knee and was trying to continue on crutches. They finally realized that they were doing more harm than good, so they quit. The Browns were the last to be eliminated, so they got to rejoin. I am not thrilled, because they are among my least favorite. But I am sure glad the Hanlons are gone. Talk about annoying!

Ohhhh! OK thanks. I did see one of the grad students get hurt. My heart went out to her because knee injuries are so painful. She's probably facing knee surgery. They definately did the right thing by pulling out.

Yes, agree with you on the Hanlons... annoying! Hope the prayer people go soon too!

did anyone watch yesterday?

why did they go out on the boat? did they have to go and get something? or was it just a symbolism?

They needed to go on the boat to get to another box that either had a key to the next box or the next artifact. I'm not that sure. I really hope that the geniuses don't leave your friend Sam behind.

That Kadie Fogel is the most freakin whiny annoying drama queen ever. I wish America could vote her off. She was crying like someone was stabbing her or something. I was praying...that she would shut up!

I bet the Geniuses will leave poor Sam. And I predict that it will come back and bite them when the next part of the competition requires 3 team members somehow. Like any team that left member behind would be at a disadvantage because they have fewer people. I just have a feeling there will be some sort of twist like that.

I wonder if the Browns will have to drop out like the Grad Students? I wonder if they will give us an update on how that grad student girl is.

hmmm........they only had like three boxes to open and each time i saw all three teammates there to open it together. i guess i will have to catch the re-run before the new episode starts next week. i really think its a symbolism of what the slaves had to do. to have someone go ahead, then come back to get the others. the host did say it would put the team 3 hours ahead or be behind 3 hours of the others.

i hope they dont leave Sam behind either. he is one of the coolest person i know. he wouldnt give me the results when i talked about the show with him

. however, i think i saw the team in future episodes in paris. who knows.........

was I the only one that enjoyed watching all of them stumble around the swamps of South Carolina?? I grew up not very far from G-town, having been in that sort of situation before I found it hilarious watching someone else have to do it.

I think you're right about the symbolism, plus it's an interesting twist.

Basically, they have to take the boat to get to the box with the next artifact, but the boat can only carry 2 people (other than the old man). So, when the first two get to the other side, they have to decide whether one of them will go back for the third team-mate (delaying forward movement by a few hours) or go on and abandon the third team-mate.

As for the We’re-tired-of-coming-in-last-but-won’t-do-anything-about-it Browns, they were let back in the game both because the Grad Students were out and because that leg of the game required an even number of teams since they had to pair-up. I was glad to see the Hanlons go -- except for the kid, they quickly wentfrom entertaining to jackasses. The Browns and the grad students can leave anytime now.

The show is definitely growing on me.
