Banzai :jumpy: Thank you !!
so thats what Kar/Lyn say :
Teammates Lyn and Karlyn are fascinated by the thought of being in China, with one of them remarking that "people in China love us folks from Alabama because of that movie 'Forrest Gump.
so its TRUE !!! 2 elims !!
The episode flies by, and longtime viewers should be warned that there are some surprises this season. One of which pops up very unexpectedly at about the halfway point of the first leg, when host Phil Keoghan makes an unexpected appearance.
The producers take full advantage of the Chinese landscape, ending the first leg of the race with a brutal rope climb up the side of the Great Wall of China. It's a segment that is both harrowing to watch and also fascinating to see strictly on its visual terms. It's an almost perfect "Amazing Race" challenge, and it sets a high bar for the rest of the season.

I think Bilal did a good job at the fish Roadblock.
The adjacent two tables are clean. It means they're ahead of 2 teams
Bilal looks happy in the taxi confession. He's not sick like other racers in the caviar Roadblock.
They probably got lost on the way to the rest stop but I think they did OK at the Roadblock.
puddin:
My take is they are just starting to eat . The bowl is full and the one dude is having a hard time with the chopsticks . Just my opinion fwiw
--- Quote from: puddin on September 16, 2006, 11:49:25 AM ---The writer even hints towards Bilal & Sa'eed being the first team eliminated :
How do the Cleveland guys fare? Well, it's an impeachable offense for a TV critic to even suggest which teams are sent packing. You'll just need to make the trip to Beijing and the Great Wall to discover the identity of the eliminated duos.
"I'm from Cleveland, Ohio," Abdul-Mani says with a laugh. "What do I know about chopsticks?"
