They take a 10 minute penalty to not be 2 hours behind. Quite a bargain if you ask me. And when the other two teams get into a cab whose driver assured them that it's official, both teams get a 20 minute penalty. Whaaaaat?
I couldn't even enjoy this episode. The train equalizer p***ed me off (what the hell is the point of this? Give them a car or let them take a cab, there was already an equalizer at the 6 a.m. temple). And that editing during the last 15 minutes or so was too exciting for me to bear. I died a million deaths while figuring out that I've never rooted for anyone as much as I did for Sam & Renae.

They would still have made the train if they went immediately to get 3rd class. What pisses me off is the accessing of Jeff and Luke's penalty. They should have been given a 30 minutes penalty at the pitstop instead. They sort of got equalized at the bus.. like WTH?

The way I understood it they were at the wrong booth and would have had to go to another (where they would have had to wait in line again).

Good point, I didn't even realize this at the time. That's just stupid ruling. I love TAR AU, but at least in the US version the rules are very clear: if you break one, you get a 30 minute penalty at the pit stop.

It was a pretty suspenseful race, at the end I think the teams were probably at least 5 to 10 minutes apart from each other. I'd say it was more suspenseful than the much hyped Unfinished Business season finale where there was still a pretty big gap between the teams.
It sucks to see Matt & Tom go since they were pretty good racers and their learning experience was awesome to watch. But hey, they placed first a few times so asides from the race experience they aren't going home empty handed! Also kind of funny that if Tyler & Nathan stuck with their "we won't be working together" mentality from last episode they could have easily eliminated their better competition by locking in the 30 minute penalty.
I think the train penalty was kind of useless since it didn't really put anyone at a disadvantage having someone on another part of the train (the cabins all looked the same anyway) but either way, it's better than a 2 hour wait.

You mean the mentality that helped Jeff solve the code?
