Erck is a freaking douche. Use the EXPRESS PASS at the first detour when you couldn't complete it. HELLO.

The second redneck dude found a board, he should've used the express pass and out run them to the pit stop. Of course he should've used it after failing the first detour, then again when he noticed that the roller moms had already left the other detour and a third time when they arrived at the road block. Stupid.

When they started the show with them announcing that they would have to be careful with how they use the express pass, I thought, "Don't tell me they fail to use it."
After the fruity top debacle and their decision to actually go complete the other task, I still thought, "Don't tell me they fail to use it."
They arrive at the final challenge with a couple people still doing the task and decide to do the task. I couldn't believe that they wouldn't just use it to jump over any competitors that were left.
Once they were the last ones, John seemed like a chicken with his head cut off.
I had a feeling David & Connor would be a good team but am surprised they continue at the top with the injury. It'll be interesting to see how long they can last.
Almost thought we'd have our first team bitten by the foreign cabby with Bates & Anthony have trouble.
I don't have much faith in my "country" girls if they aren't paying enough attention for either to recognize the priest on the board even after it is pointed out to them.

Talk about myopic. Jessica clearly had no control over John b/c there were several times to put her foot down, and she let him do something else stupid.

My favorite moment, possibly in the history of the entire Amazing Race, was John saying he has no regrets and Phil just looks at him and says "Really?"

I forgot about their bumble in trying to recreate some street person's work with flower petals and a mint? It really was a winner of a leg for them. Nice.

That team should have gotten a free pass since they'd already done that extra challenge putting together that random guy's art. No other team went out of their way to do that one.

Clearly, she should, but I have a feeling she's going to hold onto him, thinking that's better than finding another boyfriend while she still can. Then one day she'll stand before God and He'll say, "So you didn't want to find anyone else?" She'll say, "No regrets." And He'll respond, "Really?"

Jaw dropping. And then to mumble he doesn't need a million dollars.
"Really?"
What I don't get is why they made him get the right board when he was already dead in the water. Show some mercy.

So much arrogance and denial on display there. I think this is actually worse than a Survivor contestant getting eliminated holding a hidden immunity idol, because at least in that case you can argue you were oblivious to the fact you were in danger. J&J knew they were behind the bottom feeders, and any assumption that there may still be a team behind them was relying on one of the frontrunners making much worse mistakes than their own, which was damn near impossible on this leg.

I got confused, Mullet guy seemed to be running around with the surf board without ever going back to get his wife. Then he finally finds the check in and his Wife runs up there behind him. Were the partners already up there at the check in spot?
Sort of tired of the crippled team talking about them not making it far. They keep theatening the audience with quiting I just wish they would already.

Yeah, there was simply jaw dropping stupidity going on there. I seriously was in shock when they didn't use the express pass knowing Wynona was waiting for the task to be completed. I wish there was a live webcam of those two watching the episode. I imagine they've broken up by now.

Just watched yesterday's episode and allow me to add a at the team failing to using their express pass. Loved it and the reactions to it.

That last 10 minutes was excruciating. So painful to watch. He's lucky Jeff Probst doesn't host Race...he would have CRUSHED him for being so stupid.
