So are the people in every Middle Eastern country and much of Europe and the United States. So what's new?
What ever happened to driver training? and using stick shift cars like I learned on (I drove stick shifts until 8 years ago when my wife forced a change to an automatic SUV).

I don't like the precedent either, but consider that team were all going to bunch minutes after pit stop release at the trian station. If you want to be mad about something, then why did AR14 producers make them wait nearly 10 hours for a train to Novosibirsk when there were about 6 trains in that time period? I think this is worth getting upset about.

It is most certainly strange timing, apskip. I just figured that TPTB would have rather had the teams wandering around sightseeing in the evening in Krasnoyarsk than sitting at an HoH deal in Novosibirsk in the very early morning hours. I would think that security of the teams would be easier the way they did it.

Hooky:
This episode wasn't as good as the early ones for me (most likely because two of my biggest favorites are gone forever!), but it is still above seasons 12 and 13 by a long shot! Now for the teams:
Margie & Luke: The top 3 teams were all very strong this time, and made few mistakes (although I do think it was mostly luck). The mother/son did very well and will definitely go all the way. I like them still, but it will take time to rediscover my liking for them after the ridiculous U-turn choice.
Tammy & Victor: I liked them a lot more on this episode, but I was puzzled by the way they randomly left Jaime & Cara and Margie & Luke behind at that gas station (or whatever it was). If you're gonna leech information off people, you have to expect that they'll want some help from you in return. What goes around comes around. But at least they weren't bickering.
Jaime & Cara: They did well too and Jaime is really showing her intensity now. She is not a person to get frustrated on this race, but I think her intensity is what will get her team to the Final 3. I'm glad there's a female team that has intensity; it makes things more interesting.
Mel & Mike: They are starting to show their exhaustion, but somehow they still beat the three teams below them (how they did it I'm still not sure). I think that at this point only promotion by CBS people is what's keeping them alive now.
Mark & Michael: I really want to see them do better, because I know they have it in them, but they're not showing it. They are still likeable, but they have moved from my "love" list to my "like" one, and I wish they would move up (because I'm doomed in Joab's game without them surging ahead).
Kisha & Jen: I was disappointed to see these last two teams instantly fall to last and stay there the whole episode, because it was pretty uninteresting to see them back here. I don't really like this team, but I want them to stay for sheer unpredictability.
Christie & Jodi: I'm glad we didn't say goodbye to them this time, because I don't think this leg was very fair to them. I hope they do better in India, but I don't think I'll be holding my breath (because the Speed Bump sounds hard).
I liked the episode, but it wasn't as great as the first four. I'm just glad that it was a non-elim, because it feels like a normal length season again! :jam: And I'm hoping for some unpredictability and mixups next time!
Snooky:
This was a very good leg, it was better than the last one, because it had self-driving, but I just wish they had more destinations in it. I am just glad that we get to keep all of these GREAT teams another leg!
