Episode 8 of 12

Groucho

"The contests race to Tijuana, Mexico and face what may be the show's most controversial Roadblock ever."

Donkey show? Please be a donkey show!

Any idea if this is airing late today?

mwbmis

Unless the golf runs more than an hour late, we should be done with that for awhile.

From the previews, it looks like this should be a fun one tonight.

Bill Needle

How dare Team Brenchel try and win some money on such hallowed ground as The Amazing Race. The prize for the leg should have been 30 pieces of silver...each.

Ugh, getting so sick of Dave and his holier than thou attitude. You're in a competition, dude. Sure some teams choose to help each other out but don't expect all the teams to do that. Unfortunately for Brenchel, they don't have much favor going with the remaining teams, so they're pretty much on their own from this point on.

LiquidSky

Dave/Connor needed to stop whining.

Axeramm

why do teams not stop and read the clue once they get stuck?

JuryDuty

With the teams teaming up against Brenchel, who are actually doing good this season, I predict people are really going to be rooting for them. at Dave saying twice, "They U-turned a 60-year-old man!"...when they still outplayed half the teams in the race. Can't believe he's using age as an excuse.

mwbmis

I think Dave is going feel pretty embarrassed when he sees why they did it and how he acted (and based on the previews continues to act). They certainly don't look like the Heroes in this competition.

I like Herb and Nate, but all this episode proved was that teams don't need to come back three times. They were never the brightest team, but at least this time they didn't go out on Nate screwing up a thinking road block.

And I do think it will be a shame if Jet and Cord end up winning on their third chance too.

And I got tired of Brenchel's religious espousals.

Is a team allowed to u-turn another team if they've been u-turned and haven't done the second task yet?

Groucho

The answer can be found in this very episode!

I've been a fan of Dave and Connor, but their whining was ridiculous. I can't believe they actually were crying to Afghanimals about being U-turned immediately after U-turning the Afghanimals! "Sorry guys, but we had no choice! Can you believe Brenchel would stoop so low as to u-turn us?" I'm no fan of Leo and Jamal, but really? Yeah they helped them a little, but come on... you can't cry about it like it's the greatest injustice in the world but shrug it off (My bad, guys!) when you do the same thing to someone else.

I think the Afghanimals did this last season and I questioned it then. They must have changed the rules, but either way I don't agree with it. You shouldn't get to U-Turn unless you've fulfilled the requirements for moving on from that point

The country singers and Dave / Connor have to go.

dfmaverick2

I have the country singers as my team in the pool. With such a bad sense of direction, I do not see them lasting much longer. I think they went out at #4 the last time they raced.

davidh777

I've only been watching about six seasons but don't recall seeing this much team collaboration in the past. Is this common?

devilshalo

I liked the thinking of the Cowboys, to use the express pass on the build a horse detour knowing they would smoke the donkey riding if they had to do it. They were just as surprised to not be u-turned by Dave & Conner. And then Cord having fun with the monks was .

There have been some teams in the past that saw the value of helping other teams. It certainly did not deter last season's winners. At least Jet and Cord are trying to run unassisted. The thing is, if you know some teams are going to be shady and not help, why continue to engage them and then get pissed about it?

starseed1981

I've only seen the last eleven seasons but I've never seen this much collaboration or niceness going on. Brenchel and the Cowboys seem to be the only ones going it alone at this point.

chowderhead

The U-turn/double U-Turn was designed by the producers to create animosity.
Still, Dave and Connor shouldn't have taken it personally.
It's part of the race and so they should take it as a badge of pride that Rachel and Brendon thought they were more of a threat then the cowboys.

It did seem being helpful to the other teams did help Dave and Connor when the country singers gave them directions to the monk place after they got lost. Still, it's down to 6 teams and they really should be running their own races.

Red Dog

It never ceases to amaze how the U-Turn brings out the sheer stupidity in people (both the turners and turnees).

movieking

The country singers are now the weakest team left and need to go. After that, I'd say the Afghanimals, but it's pretty close.

sven

I'd much rather see Dave and Conner go. Team Crybaby can suck it.
