All they did was tire themselves out more. I can't help but wonder if they'd still be in it if they'd stuck with the golf the first time.

Meawhile, best line of the night: "If we don't know anyone else's name, we know Bryan, Bryan, Bryan." I was so ready for Bryan and Erika to go -- aside from her constant whining, I have little patience with people who don't read the clues.

seriously! i onl started watching this season 3 episodes ago, but Erika was SO annoying. and i think they did have hard times following directions. Why did Erika have such a hard time counting the bells when it seemed like everyone else was spot on? Bryan shouldve went up on the account of her whining.

As for the poker players - i didnt know you could forfeit your race! and im really surprised it was them, and at that point in the race. and the Globetrotters - hilarious!

Thanks for mentioning that, because I meant to.

They did seem to quit, didn't they? Rather than have Phil (like he has at least once or twice before) come to them to tell them they've been eliminated and to save them from continuing on fruitlessly, it seemed like he came to them because they said "we're done." He never did the I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race spiel.

But what if it was a non-elimination leg? You know you're in last place anyway, so sit down and rest for 15 minutes, then try again, hoping that it's non-elimination and that you can deal with the penalty next leg after the "mandatory pit stop." Sheesh.

The fact that you have this attitude really makes me want to turn TAR on someday and see you and nittanyalum showing the other teams how it's done.

im seriously waiting for a GC team to go on TAR. we could have GC meetups and watch together, and all sorts of stuff. and the GCers would always have to wear letters. but then we'd expect to find them, and couldnt post about it in said thread.

Why, you have to be American? Does TAR work out some sort of deal with the various countries for visas?

You do have to be American -- I've heard that it's to ensure that no team has an advantage in clearing customs. Apparently some of the crew members are Swiss and can get through the line quicker than the Americans. I'm sure there are other reasons too.

My husband and I have applied for the show before and made it through the first round, but they then told us that they liked us, but we'd have a better shot at getting cast if one of us went on with another, more interesting partner (since there are so many young white couples). I am too afraid of heights to do the show anyway (was really just doing it for him), so he and his dad are going to reapply and see if they get cast.
