OFFTOPIC:
Speaking of Kintaro and TAR in Japan, anyone seen this?

I do wonder if the producers had Tyler's nickname in mind when they chose the Minami-Ashigara area as their location...

Is this the sign you were looking for?

Slowhatch, YEP! That's the one.
It looks like J/C took a left turn at that intersection, heading towards Nakameguro and Gotanda.

This was an obvious case of impeding the progress of another team. If Ron and Christina were to make their way to the pitstop had Ron not see their fanny pack, then some other devastating changes might happen. You know on the race that all your travel documents are in the fanny pack and you don't want to lose them. What FT and BE did was extremely selfish as they realied their mistake that they took Ron and Chris's fanny packs by mistake and DIDN'T bother to go all the way back to return because they don't want to lose their lead. Just shows how cut-throat type of players they are. (This is Mika incident all over again) :res:
I kinda wished that the first flight didn't get delayed or what.. then FT and BE MIGHT... actually get eliminated. :res:

Have you ever thought it could have been a honest mistake?

Yes, I do think it was a honest mistake. However, if you sabotage a team, whether it was intentional or not, you should be penalized. :tup:
Prophet:
I'm not convinced Ron ever changed; I just think he got a redemption arc edit in TAR 12 because there wasn't much interesting to do on that season after Azaria and Hendekea were eliminated unfairly. As a side bar note, they had more unfinished business than anyone or TAR 18, as did Brad and Victoria from TAR 14. But no matter.
As for the Globetrotters' fanny pack moving incident, I can't tell whether or not it was intentional. I tend to think they were having one of their "duh" moments. I think TPTB slapped them with a minor penalty for show, because they themselves could not interpret their motives.
All in all, it was an interesting episode. The tasks are definitely much harder this season than usual.
