--- Quote ---...especially in this second episode which ended lasting almost two days!
In my three seasons, this is the first episode that got bumped up to a ninety-minute special because there was just too much that happened to these teams. And if you were able to catch it, you'll know what I am talking about. Right from the start, teams had a difficult time getting from one place to another. I think some people might have been surprised to see Mai and Oliver go from first place in the first episode to pulling up the rear in certain portions of the second leg, especially since they are from Thailand too! I think that just goes to show you that "home court (or country) advantage" really doesn't mean that much because anything can happen...at anytime.

I have finally seen the entirety of ARA3 episode 2. It is crammed full of tasks with lots of action. Here are the things that particularly impressed me:
1. Vince and Sam seeing 6am on the Hours of Operation sign at the flower market and then telling themselves it is really 7am. The loss of an hour in a tight, short episode could have resulted in their elimination from this mistake.
2. Geoff trying to get away with stealing a basket of chickens from AD and Fuzzie.
3. Geoff saying "this is starting to annoy me. Let's get out of here" in a very frustrated voice.
4. I hear the clue instruction "travel by bus to" and the video shows everyone taking vans(could they be classified as "buses"?).
5. Natalie was a total pain throughout her time in the Bangkok airport when stranded overnight and Pailin elects to have them sleep there. Natalie was also a pain when making references to minimal cleanliness and wanting to quit as a result. Has she never seen an Amazing Race? Did she think it would be a picnic designed to coddle her? Where are Dustin and Kandace when you need them in ARA3?
6. I thought that the rules of the gift to a charity were broken at least twice. One team gave the balance of their unspent funds to their charity. Although I'm sure that would be the best outcome for the charity, I doubt that that is what the ARA creators had in mind. Why didn't that team get a penalty? Of course the worst offendors were Pailin and Natalie who gave their entire $500. That makes it easy on them but defeats the purpose of the task.
7. Bernie and Henry are tough as I expected they would be. AD and Fuzzie have surprised me by being much quicker to do things than I expected. Natalie has wiped out, but Pailin has the right attitudes and may be able to keep that team on course.
