I just saw it as people all looking for far a way taxi/cab stands and not seeing anything in close and bumping into each other. Just an accident on both parts and the girls should have never made a comment.....Just one of those "Opps, excuse me!!!" moments.

It clearly was, and physical contact does happen between racers all the time, and I don't blame the racers for that. Its how they react to it that bothered me. Just as before Kisha (Jen last week) start teh blame insulting game.
Just like after that Luke could have risen above the insults and didn't (same with Margie).

Dealing with taxis is one thing.......dealing with the general public is going to be fun to watch with all that make up on....

What makes me really angry about that is that they were told to go to the Pit Stop in their damn clue! How were they supposed to know it was anything different! By telling them it was a Pit Stop, they got completely gobsmacked upon finding out it wasn't one!

Would it have made any difference if it just said "Find Phil on the mat" or something similar though? Probably not. So what's the big concern?

They'd have at least known it wasn't a Pit Stop.
TARAsia Fan:
You want the surprise although the clue will sometimes state "see Phil at the mat" instead of "go to the pit stop. The last team may/will be eliminated," and some racers will pick up on it.

Ashe, the whole point of them not knowing that it is an extended leg is to catch the racers off guard. That's part of the race.
Other comments on this episode......
Did you guys feel that Jen/Kisha got sort of a negative edit this episode with their comments about the local Chinese people not speaking English and everyone having blank faces or something of the sort?
We've heard similiar negative comments on locals from Cara/Jamie throughout the race so when I head Jen/Kisha start up, a red flag went up for me like we are being prepared for their demise, so to speak.
overall I enjoyed this episode. I liked the airport action we got to see just because Tammy/Victor were able to talk to the airport employees and get a little advantage. I also liked the tasks. The one thing that kept bothering me was Tammy/Victor at the Synchronized diving task.....what part of "Synchronized" did they not understand?! :lol: Didn't their clue mention the "Synchronized" part? It appeared like they were were diving without realizing they had to do it together and land in the water at the same time.

I agree on the airport scene. Victor is much more likeable in Chinese!
There is an interview with T/V, and she explains how uncoordinated she is. She said I could have kept diving all night and not gotten it right. She said she was having trouble with the "jump 2 times" before diving. I think it is under the thread for next weeks show.
