EP10: East Coast live show updates and commentary *please read the rules*
Hooky:
That was a pretty uneventful episode. About the only thing that surprised me was the TBC part. Overall, I disliked the episode. The TBC only made it worse.
I foreshadowed my own demise when I "discussed" TBC's with apskip. I really HATE HATE HATE 11 Legs! Will we never again get a race of reasonable length? :'( :'( :'(
Okay, rant over.

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).

I agree 100%. Kisha/Jen said in the taxi on the way to the airport in Guilin it was over. But Margie was already there telling J/C and T/V the whole story again. In that one video, Victor really looks like he is sick and tried of hearing about it. He just sits there and eats his apple......lol. Neither team has responded very well to the incident and continue to be miffed at the other team for the smallest "slight." It does not make for fun viewing, to me at least. It's almost like we have Flo and Kendra in the same race and they are trying to see who can whine the most.
In the last decade I have spent an inordinate amount of time in Latin America. I keep my head on a swivel all the time when I am out and about. People will make 180 turns at the drop of a hat and walk right into you. I just am so conditioned to say "desculpe mi" or "disculpe mi" at the collision and smile and walk on. For me, it is pretty funny.

When Phil said however I knew it at once! :groan:
But at least it isn't 11 single-length legs!

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?
--- End quote ---
If it said "Find Phil on the mat," it might have alerted Cara & Jamie to the fact that the leg might not be over. In my Fantasy Amazing Race story, twice I had a TBC leg -- and both times the clues alerted the teams that the leg wasn't over. Of course, that's assuming that either Cara & Jamie had seen enough of The Amazing Race to know that little fact.

I think I remember that Jaime has been a huge fan of TAR and has watched every season. Cara is a newcomer, but I believe did her homework!
