Likely overrun in markets like DC and NYC. Pad pad pad. Just went to halftime at OAK/SD.

I've been to that market. Have pictures. 
OMG! I love that place!!!! Saw the stadium but never went inside. Been to Camp Casey millions of times because where I was stationed didnt have a commissary. Course this was 10 years ago... I loved my year there.

Pointless episode.
I hate the 30-minute penalty bullshit. They should make them go back and do the task correctly. If you can't read a simple clue, you should pay a steeper price.

Exactly how many times are Brooke and Claire going to screw up the "You can't take a cab" rule?

Nick's giving up last episode and making them take the penalty is the only reason they missed that flight. They could have made it into the final three if it weren't for his attitude.

Brook kicking the board (US military camp) and also mentioning that she likes it on the butt (during the speed skating) was hilarious.

Six relatively decent people in the finale. I really don't care who wins although I'm kinda rooting for the doctors.
I can't even find one person to root for on Survivor this year.

I still watch this show, but bailed on Survivor a few weeks ago. But every time I think that show has run its course someone like Russell shows up to pull me back in.

Certainly there is no way they were only two hours behind the doctors to the pit stop. If you add six hours to that then you are already pushing midnight.
Nick's "growth" would have been more believable if he hadn't said the same things before (after Ghana) and hadn't acted like an asshat in the previous episode.
Ok with any of the three teams winning. Jill and Thomas were my sight unseen pre-race favorites to win, but I'll be rooting for Kat...err..I mean Nat and Kat. I hope they find a way to get that melon to the face in one more time next week.

Why are half of those teams all from 1 season and why are there no fighting couples ?
Do they not remember the disaster that was TAR Family Edition.

That's okay. I know people in this forum tend to ignore post #1 when initially posting.

The flight times and appeared arrival time didn't jive in this episode.
The teams on flight #1 from Hong Kong to Seoul left at 12:25am. I've taken that flight before and it takes no more than 3 hours to get to Seoul from HK. They should have arrived no later than 3:30am. It looked to me that it was 6-7am in the morning when they arrived. I have to assume the producers had the contestants sleep/sit around at Seoul's airport when they arrived since nothing is open.
Other than that, I thought it was a pretty entertaining episode. Brook kicking the wood at the army base brought a few chuckles from me. I know a few of you find her really annoying, but I love her energy and perkiness. I'm fine with them or Nat and Kat winning it all.
Nick and Vicky were non-factors once they missed that 12:25am flight.

I love Brook. Yeah, she's a little annoying, but she's hot and goofy, which is a great combination. She looked great in her shorts and tube socks. Not to mention that tight skating outfit.

Well, I think that for once the best three teams are in the final.
Nat and Kat have to get their driving/navigation act together if they have any hope of winning this thing. It seems every time they have to drive somewhere they drop to the end of the pack.

Brooke/Claire and Nat/Kat both make up the classic cute girl/hot girl combo(although I wonder if Kat knows that Nat is secretly in love with her?).
You know that punk rock girl was thinking that if they had just finished the last task and not had the penalty, even if it took 2 more hours, there's a real good possibility they'd still be in it. That guy needs to get dumped before the plane back to the US lands.
Does Phil stick an 'R' in the word 'walk'?
