since i was new in this forum...  :hello2:

somehow i think that the human chess thing is a FF since it's kinda hard and imbalanced with the other option
( i mean playing chess is already hard, but plus real people, and in vietnam? i don't think it would be easy  :ascared)
what do you guys think?

and i'm sorry for my english, i'm still trying to be good at it  ;)

Selamat datang Raynald... :wel2  Welcome to RFF...!!!
I think your English is better than mine   :)

Do you think Dave & Connor will do a Summer & Eachen, or will they be eliminated the normal style?

I don't think Human Chess is FF because both of Derby Moms and Country Singers was seen to do it, right?

So weird with the list of ingredient because in Hanoi, Pho doesn't have something like bean sprouts :))

I think they were getting bean sprouts because that is how it is usually served in the United States. I've almost always gotten a plate with bean sprouts, basil and sliced jalapeno peppers along with the bowl of Pho. I expect that's the style in the southern part of Vietnam since that's where most of the Vietnamese immigrants to this country came from. That's just a guess though. It certainly wouldn't be the first dish to be changed when it was introduced to the United States.

raynaldsantika,
My thoughts are that it would be very easy to develop a version of human chess that could be completed in perhaps 15 minutes. Moving people around on a large chess board could take little more time than moving the pieces on a real chessboard. It's all in the rules for this game. Speed chess can be completed very fast if you have a maximum amount of time on a timer.

OMG They WERE u-turned... they did the pho chick and this
but by whom? Hopefully it's not Maxie I don't want'em to use their U-TURN power so early

if this is a Double Elimination Leg
There's going to be 6 teams left with 7 legs to go
So,
Leg 6 = NEL/KOR
Leg 7 = EL (5 remain)
Leg 8 = NEL/KOR
Leg 9 = EL (4 remain)
Leg 10 = NEL/KOR
Leg 11 = EL (final three)
unless they put 2 NE/.KORs in a row. Is that allowed nowadays? I think last time it happened was in AllStars and it was just because the leg that Uchenna&Joyce were eliminated was a NEL but they've fallen too far behind the production made it an EL just  to eliminate them, meaning one of an EL in next Legs had to be a NEL
Please Bring'em back:
=======================================
MM: Jaymes&James; Mark&Bopper
FF: Caroline&Jennifer; Pam&Winnie; Natalie&Nadiya;
MF: Joey&Meghan;
Couple : Max&Katie; Abby&Ryan; Brendon&Rachel; Amani&Marcus;
Elder Couple : Chuck&Wynona; Bill&Cathi;

I don't think it will be a double elimination, because there is 12 Legs??

There are 12 legs, not 11. so the next leg is not double elimination.
WOW... I bet Max & Katie U-turned them, damn...  (:;)

I can't see the leg being DEL unless it was advertised to death - if it was, then the two U-Turned teams would just be eliminated, and as the U-Turn is blind, Maxie won't lose the CoP to use later on for a second Double U-Turn (if they need to use it)

Dave & Connor somehow get U-Turned and they quit?

The other U-Turned team (Joey & Meghan) probably arrive 7th at the Pit Stop (which is last because D/C maybe quit) and are eliminated.

They've never done a NEL on a U-Turn leg, soo

Based on caps, my guess is M/J and Roller Derby Mom's get U-Turned.... :duno:

Meghan (from Joey/Meghan) posted a new video with another exclusive clip and it looks like teams have to go to several stalls to collect the Pho Ga ingredients, and they collect the basket from the lake in the intro (by the looks of it)

I think Wynona missed a golden opportunity to step up in the Hanoi ROADBLOCK. The word memorization was a major challenge, but why should Chuck be forced to do it when he should be reserved for major physical challenges. I think we were seeing why Wynona deserves her self-imposed label of the worst individual performer left in AR22. Wait until Chuck maxes out of ROADBLOCKs and Wynona has to do all of them to stay in the race. That are toast at that point.

I think there was something in the RB instructions about RUN TO...that threw her off. She assumed that running meant Chuck should do this one. Chuck did well, but she could have done it too, she seems very observent.

Didn't Wynona explicitly say "I'm afraid to run" when she and Chuck read the clue? :lol3: I really do hope they stay in the race for at least two more legs, just to have Wynona actually do something, lest they decide on taking a penalty xD

I don't believe it would directly involve taking a penalty. It would involve Wynona having to do a ROADBLOCK that she is unqualified for. That will either result in a lengthy task performance or a 4 hour penalty, which would almost certainly mean elimination.

Exactly, this bodes for an exciting second half of the race, regardless of Wynona stepping up to the plate or not^^

Oh and thank you for welcoming me :D
