John couldn't recognize the surfboard... He goes back to Jessica. Jessica knows they're last. John decides to keep going. He has a night light on.

Phil rejects him. Jessica is bummed that they had an EP that they didn't use. John doesn't think the EP will benefit him. It's been 1 hour 15 minutes... John picks the right surfboard. They've been eliminated. They're the first team ever to be eliminated with the EP. John doesn't think he should look back and think about it with regret... YOU HAD AN EP THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE USED TO NOT BE ELIMINATED. HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM ABOUT IT. Jessica thinks they should have used the EP, lol.

Phil looks at the camera... and says something while shrugging? Confused music going on. I'm confused. :lol3:

Pit stop:
1st - Dave & Connor
2nd - Pam & Winnie
3rd - Max & Katie
4th - Caroline & Jennifer
5th - Joey & Meghan
6th - Mona & Beth
7th - Bates & Anthony
8th - Chuck & Wynona
9th - Jessica & John (ELIMINATED)

And the Good Wife begins...

Overall, this episode felt lackluster in my opinion.

Back at the detour... Jessica says to switch. John tells her to slow down, or something like that. They switch detours. John says he's not thinking about the EP right now... He's thinking about slow and steady lol.

LOL think twice.

John clearly had some kind of mental breakdown on this leg.

Not upset they were eliminated though. Wonder what'll happen to their relationship though. Wish we still had elimination station!!

I loved this episode. One of the best.

Man that John looked real crazy at the end. It does look like he has a problem with admitting he was wrong.

Idk about this episode..

Maybe because the leg was completely spoiled so there wasn't much suspense to it :LOL:

John, are you sick? Why you not use your express pass?

Interesting episode, and I do think some teams were affected in Bali from the pair of long connections out of Bora Bora to Bali with the quick intermediate leg in New Zealand.

At least a few of the teams did recognize the priest from Bora Bora on the surfboards without help, so all hope isn't lost; but that is where the KF comes into play so early in this Race.

What an episode. Foreshadowing throughout with the XP comment in the cab in New Zealand, to the "We're both detail oriented" comments. This year the men in the two couples are way too analytical of everything, and the girls end up being right on everything with little to no thinking  :lol3: I just can't believe they didn't use the express pass. She said it twice at the fruit detour, once on the way to the coal detour, once at the coal detour, and once at the roadblock, and he still didn't listen. Stubborn as hell!

Luckily, this season there is no Double Your Money. You'll know why.

Wasn't it John at the Detour who wanted to use the Pass?

well i'm not shocked at all. i knew John was the last person at he roadblock, but what's wrong with you John??? Dumbest move ever, eliminated with an Express Pass. it's just like voted off on Survivor with an idol in your pocket. I feel bad for Jessica. Are they still together now?  :bounce

Probably. They never fought, although they argued about the XP but they weren't vicious about it or anything. i'd be surprised to find out if they broke up.

In their team intro, they said they were planning on getting married, but haven't been engaged yet.

I also find it ironic that in their intro picture they were standing next to surfboards. :lol3:

its really because they're surfers, but I guarantee that production wanted an emphasis on that  :lol3: :lol3:

Their elimination was more of because of the Detour I think. Even if John used his EP immediately at the Roadblock, I think they would have been eliminated anyway.

Connor <//////////3 cheaters never win, not the entire race. DISLIKE. :lol3:

For one instante, I thought they would do the same as Davechel in Asunción.   Fail attempting to perform one Detour and skip the other one with the EP.   :groan:
