7th - Trey & Lexi

Gary & Will say how they let the fans down in their confessional. They haven't even reached the pit stop... this has to be a NEL.

Gary & Will are the last team to arrive... And they've been eliminated! Wow, I was wrong.

Trey & Lexi get #7. And Gary & Will take a taxi to Swarighat instead of a boat. And they are the last team to arrive and are eliminated.

Next week on The Amazing Race...

As the race gets more physical, teams wilt under the blazing sun. Josh & Brent and Jaymes & James seem to struggle. The entire preview is of teams carrying large bamboo stalks.

Looks more like a side of the Detour.  Look at the white bags, the tapestries, and the other positions behind them.  I don't discard your spec, but look for rats inside a closed bag - because, if its open, they will surely escape - ?  IDK...  :duno:

(Unless they were not searching for real rats - I remember the polo Detour in Bariloche on TAR16 with the horses of wood :lol: -.)

But doesn't this look like somebody looking for rats?



Well I agree Chateau........I dont know why anyone would have a stick in their hand on a cotton grading table unless they were expecting "something" to run out of the pile.  It is not as if the raw cotton is going to attack them. Plus it looks like the short dude is "herding" something toward the tall dude. The tall dude is ready to hit something coming out of the pile of cotton.

To put things clear about this, below are the caps from the whole sequence of the two guys and the cotton task.  The tall guy is not waiting to hit something coming out of the pile, actually he is hitting the cotton.  Maybe trying to spice things, in order to provoke a reaction, but he's not definitely expecting something.

(BTW, CBS press info says teams must collect "dead rats" not alive - see Prama reply #58 on this thread -)

(Ups, sounds like Daniel Bryan before he lost the title with Sheamus  :lol:)

Truly an India leg without being in India.

A leg with dead rats (not live ones as in TAR 1).

Teams still not completely reading their clues and instructions.

Except possibly for James and Abba, I have the impression the remaining surviving teams are fairly close in time of arrival, especially with the problems some teams had in getting from the detour to the pit stop.

It has come to my attention that the 4th-placed team became 1st-place team at the next leg.

If Josh & Brent came in first at the next leg, it's going to be interesting. ;)

Oh, and yes, Natalie & Nadiya's placement is exactly the same as Brook & Claire's. 4th, 1st, 6th and 3rd :luvya:

OMG, Nadiya can be so annoying.

My adoration for them has climbed from 25 to 75 to 50 and back to 25 percent within 4 legs. They are really annoying and rude.

Proves that Joab doesn't support all-female team all the time! :lol:

This was a slightly better leg, mainly because I got to know some of the teams a little better finally.  The loud girl team is obviously annoying to people on the race, though that is funny I suppose.  And the rockers had a problem stepping in something and that really preyed on the mind of one of them. :D

Otherwise the tasks still weren't that great.  I think they are in need of more mental puzzle tasks as well as more interesting and a greater variety of locations.  The FF was pretty easy I guess if you don't mind rats, and they didn't. 

And the whole leg, like the first one, was really just decided at the end and it was just because the boat people didn't go by the clue correctly.  Maybe if there are 2 locations on the clue it's up to the racers to make it clear where they have to go first.  Maybe they did though, it's hard to tell with the editing, and it was really just the locals fault yet again in the race.  I wish the tasks decided more, they still don't seem to take that long.

Also all teams got on the same flight, so no rush to get an earlier flight, a bit boring.

Trey is boring but Lexi is a bit cute and I have a feeling she might really lose it at some point, so I'm happy they stayed.  I was thinking it was going to be a non-elimination leg with all the negative stuff we heard from the eliminated team before they got to the mat.  However it wasn't that tough a leg and I expect NELs to be saved for those.

Maybe because this season don't have a Vanessa, or a Rachel Reilly or a Bopper & Mark.  :res:

Just check the Memorable Quotes thread and see how many of them we had from TAR20 at this point and how many of this season:  zero.
