What made the signpost task so hard? All you had to do was follow the red line and arrow on the map and write down the places in order as they appeared. And how could you misspell a name when it was printed right there in front of your nose?
That was a pretty long gap between charters - three hours! Didn't give the bottom feeders much of a chance. Usually, in the past, the gap was only 30 minutes or less. The flight itself took 2:45. So the five teams on the second flight did not arrive at Playa Larga until after 1:45PM.
How much longer can Schmirna keep it up? They keep coming in next to last, but they are following the cardinal rule of TAR: Keep one team behind you!
Rob and Amber confirmed on TES this morning that Sequesterville was in Acapulco. They had three weeks there to sleep late, eat good food, and bask on the white sands of Acapulco Bay while the other racers were chasing rats, grabbing what sleep they can when the can, and grabbing food on the run. Not bad deal for the losers!
Were they giving something away when they said that we should watch the Beauty Queens since they really do run a good race?
And finally, Puddin's Boot List holds true for another week!

GMAN, I agree with you but on the FINISH LINE Rob claimed that the directions for the task were not as clear as Phil stated them on TV. He said that the directions given indicated that the direction of the signs were important (vs. Phil saying they weren't) and the spelling accuracy was not mentioned. It is instructive to note that with a basic knowledge of map reading a team could easily get the west or east pointing direction correct. Then the key was to gete the correct starting point, which Rob/Amber had but Uchenna/Joyce struggled with before eventually getting it right. Copying the place names one by one with correct spelling is a test of attention to detail, which is why Amber should have been doing that and not Rob. Dustin/Kandice appeared to be totally clueless on how the do the task correctly. My hat is off to Uchenna/Joyce, the only team to do this right, although it did cost them a place on the first charter flight versus the teams who had done the other DETOUR.
On the subject of Squesterville, just see this week's ELIMINATION STATION video.
