Kind of like getting voted off the island with a hidden immunity idol in your pocket.

Surfer boy sure was serene about the whole thing. Surfer girl, not so much.

And yay for Connor's dad, who didn't cry (much) last night.

Surfer dude had a crazed look in his eye like he was indestructible or something. What an idiot! And why didn't Phil approach him (after an hour and a half or whatever) and tell him it was over? They've done that in the past. I was surprised they let him continue, but maybe the crazy look in his eye added to the drama.

He totally cried at the end! We were laughing so hard. At some point Dad is going to have to do a road block - they have a rule where they have to split them - so something is going to have to give!

He really did. Someone else commented that they had been racing for something like 4 days straight, with no break (except while on airplanes or downtime at airports). I wondered if he was exhausted to the point of being a little out of it.

I'm sure that was it - and it made for good TV, so the producers kept rolling...

Yeah, and it's not like he was unrolling huge bales of hay for hours!

No kidding! I loved as he was walking away saying... "no regrets..." Yeah, whatever.

I think it's different than getting voted off with an idol in your pocket, unless someone told you straight out that your name is on the short list for TC. Usually when that happens, they think they are with the group but they're not. These two knew they were down to two.

He did seem crazed and I'll chalk it up to exhaustion.

There will be some road blocks that the Dad can do .. the eating challenges, the "find something" challenges, maybe even swimming challenges. That leg was four days so he's had the aircast/brace thing on for four days. It will probably improve a lot over the next few days, unless he injures it again or something.

Drat. I really was hoping to see Max and Katie gone.

My thoughts exactly.
