EP 8 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**
Jobby:
I don't know.. i think the producers could have put signs on the road to lead them there? I mean, self-driving is good.. but if you have different ways to get there and such a big mountain, for race purposes wouldn't it be better to not have teams getting lost for like.. 9 hours?
Gary and Mallory and Nat and Kat were actually not lost in terms of directions.. they're near the mountain and can see the mountain, they just got to the wrong side of it.. which is like a 50% chance of getting on the right route or wrong route, depending on which one you choose.. because the Roadblock location can be on any side?
I thought the both teams were lost because they went completely off course in the wrong direction. Turn out they fell behind because they picked the wrong route to drive to the mountain?? Kinda saddening.

After rewatching, I'm still curious about this:

I don't think so Zack. Unless they are so good in editing, but I think there isn't. I would have read it the same way too, "Hit the road" ... pause .... "Drive yourselves to Muttrah Souq."

There's definitely something going on. The clue shown doesn't show "Hit the road" which every team reads out, but starts immediately with "Drive yourselves to the Muttrah Souq..."
Here's how the splices worked out for each team:
Jill: "Drive yourselves to Muttrah Souq"
Chad: "Hit the road. Drive yourselves to" *cut* Stephanie: "Muttrah Souq"
Claire: "Hit the road. Drive yourselves to" *cut* "Muttrah Souq"
Vicki: "Hit the road. Drive yourselves to the" *cut* "Muttrah Souq"
Nat: "Hit the road. Drive yourselves to" *cut* "Muttrah Souq"
Gary/Mallory: "Hit the road."
Can anyone pull up the Episode Credits so we could make a check?
Cocoa:
Oh wait, I remember now! Grab a screenshot of their clue, and no "Hit the Road" is seen. Great job editors, and Zack and Neobie! :lol:
