I think is the first time that C/S don't annoyed me... and didn't notice how competitive were J/T (BTW always read this as Justin and Tyler, and don't know who the heck are they  :lol:)

It was a fun leg to watch, but now I wonder how N/K will be able to catch up now!

And N/V are getting better at this... i'm impressed

PS: Gotta love the clue eater goat :D

Two words as to how Nat & Kat will be able to catch up:  airport flights.

Jobby:
Anyway, i didn't like how Nat and Kat and Gary and Mallory arrived at the market with only 2 stores open... the one they have to find to direct them to the Ali Baba in a Suiq and the one where they will receive their next clue.

How did they fell so far behind? :'(

theschnauzers:
Gary and Mallory themselves said in the episode they spent 9 hours drving around and getting lost before they found the location for the roadblock.  If you think about it a moment, they reached that task at dusk, just about the same time Chad and Stephanie reached the pit stop. (There was more ambient light when Jill and Thomas arrived and received the penalty.)

I'm surprised Gary and Mallory escaped receiving the pity clue directing them to the pit stop before the leg was completed.

Ruth:
LOL at Chad and Stephanie for oversleeping! Like... On the Amazing Race? It was really funny though. Even funnier how they eventually caught up to the other teams and went on to win the leg! Wow! And that proposal moment... That was really sweet. I was really touched. And the fact that Stephanie accepted Chad so readily... Makes me think he ain't that bad of a guy eh. I mean, we always see Chad yelling at Stephanie, but seeing that she didn't question the relationship at all, it could be just editing that's intensifying Chad, making him a nasty guy. Cos I really grew to like them as the race progressed. I was hoping they'd win the leg! But when Jill and Thomas caught up towards the end, I was bummed. Who knew that Jill and Thomas had a penalty! I didn't see that coming, I didn't know it was wrong to hire a cab. But I was like... YAY! Such an awesome leg for Chad and Stephanie. Their joy when they were given first place was great as well. Love them now!

This was another exciting leg in my opinion. The first two teams kept switching positions. The third and fourth place teams kept switching as well. I was hoping that Brook and Claire would beat Nick and Vicki to the pit-stop but oh well, it's okay I guess. I'm getting really annoyed by Nick. He needs to stop being so harsh to Vicki! Ugh.

I remember Nat and Kat saying in their pre-race interview that they aren't great at navigation. We got to see that this leg I guess... Second-to-last? I thought that they'd completely picked themselves up since the Ghana legs. I guess they got lost like Gary and Mallory, but were lucky that the latter got hopelessly lost. If it hadn't been for them making a graver mistake, Nat and Kat would have been out.

Tearful goodbyes from Gary and Mallory... I'll bet Phil was sad to see them go too. I thought I saw tears in his eyes! I was really sad to see them go as well. They've generally been performing quite well, until they got hopelessly lost this leg and never could catch up. But as I always say, when the number of teams is reduced to such a small group, no one can afford to make even the slightest mistake. Well... I hope they make it to All-Stars! Hee.

I can't wait for next week's episode. Double U-Turn, wow!

theschnauzers:
Joab, I've been saying for several legs now that this edition has had the feel of the early editions of TAR, which in my view is a complement. I haven't tried to cheer for any team this time around, other than wanting teams to race well and not make stupid mistakes; and tthere have been a ton of those this time around.  But it also means that if a team realizes what they are doing wrong and fixes them, then they recover and race well.....which is the story this leg of Chad and Stephanie.
I'm not bothered by the fact that they haven't been dating long.  After all, we all have heard of couples that came together and quickly realized they were made for each other. Chad has grown in these few legs of the Race, and I suspect his decision to propose in the hills of Oman was a nearly spontaneous one; if you look at the reaction of the other Racers who were sitting there and watching they thought it was a good thing, so it much have been obvious to those who had been around Chad and Stephanie that they were a good relationship fit.
I'm also impressed that the producers have made much more of an effort to keep Phil informed this season...he already knew about Jill and Thomas violation of the rule about hiring taxis to lead teams (which was on the way to the pit stop) before they reached the mat. Another indication perhaps, that they had more budget this time around, and more PA's around to help keep TPTB informed along the way.
