Maybe Steve and Allie are eliminated this episode and Carol and Brandy, 5th
georgiapeach:
I think that the shots of the coconut smash may tell us quite a lot...
Who has the most? Who does not?? :tup:

I was curious as to just how hot and humid it was in Penang while the racers were doing the incense carry at the temple since a couple of them mentioned how hot it was. I looked up the weather for Penang on December 12th - 14th and it was pretty much the same each day.
Dec. 12th: High 90 Low 77 1 PM: Temp 90 Dew Point 73 Humidity 59% Wind SE 3.5 mph
Dec. 13th: High 91 Low 77 1 PM: Temp 90 Dew Point 72 Humidity 55% Wind E 8.1 mph
Dec. 14th: High 91 Low 78 1 PM: Temp 91 Dew Point 73 Humidity 55% Wind NE 9.2 mph
I don't know if we ever nailed down the date exactly, but the Singapore episode thread mentions Dec. 16th as the date there, so Dec. 14th sounds likeliest for Penang. The wind matches up with what Jet and Cord had for the flag balancing task. In any case, the weather would have been hot and humid but not unbearably so. I'd say the comments were due to the fact that most of the racers weren't used to the combination of heat and humidity. Brent and Caite are from South Carolina, so they probably were (and I don't remember them complaining). Jet and Cord probably see a days like that in Oklahoma, but they didn't do the lifting and stair climbing. They don't seem like the types to complain much about it anyway.
