According to the screenshots, pictures of M/M appear on the promos for Bonnie Hunt for Monday's episode. I don't think they would show pictures of Mark & Michael with words "The Amazing Race Castoffs" unless they are toast.

Just like here, China has a bunch of accents that are difficult to understand. If the woman speaks Chinese and has a heavy accent, Victor may not understand it. Not everyone who speaks Chinese can speak clearly. :lol:

This is for those that don't understand the rules ..
When the show is on here 8:00pm ET we don't want to read the outcome before 9:00 ET :okay:
We will be discussing the ongoing show here (link below)and commentary should go here but please delay your comments if you are watching on Channel 5 or whatever channel it is that you all don't get commercials ..
If I see anything posted before 9:00 ET that person will be banned for a week. Please don't ruin it for us like last week...we want to enjoy the show not babysit.

Herc’s Seen Things Get Nasty
On Tonight’s AMAZING RACE!!
I am – Hercules!!
CBS is billing tonight’s edition of “The Amazing Race” as boasting “the most memorable pit stop ever.”
Two twentysomething contestants – deaf college grad Luke Adams and Amazonian marketing assistant Jennifer Hoffman – get into physical confrontations, and Jen’s language turns mean.
“I called him a bitch because it was a bitch move,” says Jen. That’s just the start of the unsportsmanlike behavior that continues well after Phil Keogan informs the contestants of their weekly rankings.
Tame stuff compared to the blows we’ve seen traded recently on cable’s “The Bad Girls Club” and “The Road Rules/Real World Challenge,” to be sure, but unusually uncivilized for “Race.”
The pit stop becomes memorable when Jen, Luke and their teammates arrive at the episode’s finish line almost simultaneously, and host Keogan adds fuel to the fire with uncharacteristically Probstian episode-ending inquiries.
The big destination this week is Guilin, China, where absurdly fabulous Chinese-American Tammy Jih and bossy big bro Victor come to regret not paying closer attention in Chinese school when they discover which tasks will soon be assigned them. The good news is Tammy & Victor both speak Mandarin, and Tammy visited Guilin earlier for spring break.
It’s an especially tricky week for dwarf stuntmen brothers Mark & Michael, penalized with an extra cosmotological task and forced to start in last place for rule-breaking.
There’s also a vicious bird attack, the teams have to choose between choreography and calligraphy, and the redheaded cheerleaders run into trouble when they, rather predictably, choose choreography.
I remind everyone that the people who complain most about reality shows are always the ones most often caught by their moms masturbating to “American Gladiators.”
8 p.m. Sunday. CBS.
