Make sure you pad. It's Masters Sunday. Should be the last time you have to do it this spring.

Glad the country singers survived, but there was way too much relying on locals/passersby in this leg. That makes for randomness that's out of the players' hands.

I didn't have a problem with it b/c they had to know how to do roman numerals. I probably could have guessed at it and eventually gotten it, but if given the opportunity I would have asked the people of Rome for help with the roman numerals.

Yikes! a cluster of teams suffering in the hands of bad taxis this time around.
The remote control drag your toy action figure across pavement challenge and lugging around a typewriter to a marked column made for a rather dull ep. Beautiful locale and tourist spotlights though.
"Jamal, you da man!"
ouch.

Were any of the teams able to handle Roman numerals without help? I'm disappointed that Brendon wasn't enough of a science/math geek to be familiar with them; hell, I expect a science PhD to be able to convert letters to ASCII values mentally.
I also wonder how famous Roman Holiday is to the locals.

You could tell that Leo was really freaked out when Phil told them they were fifth. Fortunately for them, they had enough of a head start on the two teams they gave the answer to that it was never really possible for them to get passed. Still, if they had needed to take a cab or had trouble finding the spot, it could have really sucked for them...

Was he just not going as fast as he could? I couldn't understand how both she and the Globetrotters beat him.

The Globetrotters had a lead on them and she fucking caught up and passed them... and she had her backpack on! Big Easy had to drop his backpack just to keep their lead! Flight Time was like "damn, she came outta nowhere".

I had to rub one out when she did the gladiator challenge and was full on into it, snarling and yelling.
