Ronald.. :lol: but that's the asian thing LOL.
Whose worst? I really like Gary (Mallory), Jim (Marsha), Gus (Hera), Duke (Lauren)... I don't know who else worst? LOL.

yeah but for all we know Laurence's behavior wa a cultural thing.
Check out family edition.
We have o e grief moment where Laurence plays the blame came in one leg, but besides that he never crosses a line. The closest is when he says he would have been better at a task, he has also admitted when he made mistakes. Several parent child teams have had at least one bad moment and several have said they should have done a task over the other.
And as far as blame game, Ron is vastly worse then Laurence. We had the southern Dad who caused there teams elimination and constantly blamed his son Brock over it in the Family Edition.Gus has told off Hera, and the reverse is also true and dismissed his daughter as father knows best (and I liked them).
If anything I thought Laurence just reminded my of the Dad who thinks he's cool, but isn't, something many people have experience with.

And I don't even really like Jeremy & Sandy.

mswood,
I agree with you totally. Marcus and Amani are decent people but their behavior at Amsterdam airport was totally negligent. They deserved to be eliminated as a result despite all the hustle they displayed once they got to the Copenhagen metro area.

I don't find it very ironic, but I have an alternate nomination for most ironic situation in all of AR19. What is the #1 skill required of a mariner? How about NAVIGATION. What did Laurence/Zac, incredibly, lack in Thailand on the water and what did they lack (more understandably) in the foreign metro area of Copenhagen? In both cases the answer is navigation skills. They were done in by the skill that they ought to have dominated.

Are you recommending driving through Turkey and taking the bridge across the Bosporus at Istanbul? Otherwise, that car would have to swim the Mediterranean Sea.
