Is it for sure that Mark&Michael will have to do their Speedbump in the salon? Usually the Speedbumped team goes somewhere else, right?

You know, if either teams Kisha&Jen and Luke&Margie are not last, shouldn't it be okay for them? I mean, there might be a conflict if they got to pitstop 1st/2nd, but L&M got a few prizes already, and if they're not 1st and last, they'd leave at almost the same time? It was there at the preview where Jen first called Luke a bit... You know what. lol  Um...Can Luke hear that? Maybe he could read her lips, or maybe Margie told him, I dunno. :duno: My last theory is that basically Luke knew what Jen called him, and then maybe at pitstop that topic somehow came in and started the argument.

Last season, Dandrew performed their speed bump at the exact park where they spent having the shetland pony and detour. And with the lead of all other teams with Mark and Michael, I even feel that were going to have our first unused/unaired speed bump!  :funny:

I do not think so... A speed bump is more special than the Fast forward (which are commonly unaired when unused). I think the show will "shorten" the gap for excitement, making M/M do the speedbump. But if M/M got stock in Thailand that made them SOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... FAR............ behind, then there is a possibility of that.

However, in AR13 the critical second Moscow episode Dan/Andrew did their ROADBLOCK right in Sokolniky Park very close to the Shetland pony lady giving out DETOUR clues. So there is precedence for a Speed bump being at the same place. The key is that the task itself will be designed to take longer when there is no transportaiton needed.

I think you mean Speed Bump, not Road Block.

Anyways, can't wait for the Guilin leg!!!

Heres what Phil has to say fwiw:

I've been teeing it up for weeks now, and we're finally here: Next week is the most memorable mat meltdown of all time. Margie and Luke vs. Kisha and Jen. These two teams battle throughout the entire leg and end up with mere seconds separating them at the check in. I've never seen two teams go at it like this before and have it carry all the way to the mat.

it sounds like the showdown between J/K adn and M/L has to do with the aggressiveness shown in the previews when the two teams arrive at the clueboxes.  We see it every season....teams battle it out to get the clue first from the cluebox.  We've seen pushing and cutting in line at the last second before.  There is always a team that is upset about it.  This is nothing new.  this appears to be the same thing however it seems to happen more than once in this leg which leads to more tension.  I can see why both teams would  blow up.  Jen seems like the kind of girl that won't back down and Luke has played aggressively.   As someone suggested earlier, I wouldn't doubt that what happened in Bangkok created a bit of animosity with J/K against M/L and that is aggravated more by the aggressiveness of Luke at the clueboxes.   

I have to say, I feel sorry for Margie for having to keep up with an angry signing Luke in the arguement with J/K!  How frustating that would be.  :lol:

and yet another echo of Season 6: "Someone I'm gonna break in half!"
