hmm... I didn't know there was an "alternative" to mandatory flight. Kent and Vyxsin probably ran one of the worst legs ever on the race since that team that got lost in the desert in season 1!

I didn't see anything wrong Ron and Christine taking the original "bus"

sure, it wasn't a traditional bus. But there were probably enough buses for every team. Grab and go. I don't think they would have received a penalty for taking it.

I don't think it was fair that other teams got to see each other's zodiac mobile... and Zev couldn't.

Ron was on fire tonight, easily the most entertaining part of the season so far. I used to hate him but tonight got me to turn the corner. The constant stopping for food, throwing the rock at the bus, his freaking out yelling on the trolly.

There was a yellow and red flag, so they were fine.

Ron continues in Jackassery!

Kent and Vyxin - I'm amazed they are that close!

at Ron constantly wanting to stop for food and his snacking of the candy. He was definitely the highlight of this leg.

Unbelievable that Kent and Vyxsin are still in this race. I thought they were dead when they fell almost 6 hours behind the pack and had to stay overnight at the airport in China. I'm amazed that they are still so close to Zev and Justin. They made up alot of time taking that 1 hour flight instead of the train ride once they finally arrived from Japan.

Christina's kind of hot, but if I was doing her, I'd imagine her father yelling "Slow down and take longer strokes or she isn't going to come!"

Yes, I'm impressed to. I fear they'll get a major time penalty when they get to the next part. Still, what are you going to do? Stuff happens and they missed the flight. It's not like what they did gave them an advantage over the other teams. Hopefully, they'll cut them some slack.

I would think having to take a flight 6 hours later would be penalty enough, but we'll see.

Re: The Amazing Race 18 -- "This Is the Most Stupid Day Ever" -- 3/13/11

I caught most of this episode last night and its the first for me of the new season. Wow. Thats all i can say to the Goths. That girl Goth is the kind of person that i really hate. The kind that gets upset and starts fretting at the slightest problem. And if that excuse for a boyfriend does not end up coming out of the closet at some point i will be surprised.

On the brighter side the Chinese Father and daughter gave me a laugh. He seemed at times like her was more on a vacation wanting to critique the local food.

I agree. I think they should have been penalized if they took an earlier flight or an alternate flight around the same time. But a flight 6 hours later seems harsh enough.

I was hoping for a POV from the globetrotters side, where the bus window breaks and they freak out "What the hell was that?"

Loved Ron freaking out and throwing the rock at the bus.

Vyxin is the kind of chick you want to avoid. "Kent lost the passports", "Kent left the bag in the gandala." Kent better hopes he never commits a crime because Vyxin will roll over on him in a heartbeat.

Especially since, up until that point, she was the one that had been fucking up the whole leg.

I was thinking Kent must have the patience of a saint to put up with her.

I think that came across in some of the looks he was giving the camera.

Kent doesn't strike me as a "ladies man", he probably figures that this is as good as it's going to get.

I was kind of hoping at the mat that the Globetrotters would have said to Phil, "hey, Ron and Xtina didn't take the original bus." Ron's meltdown was awesome!

Kent and Vyxsin? I get more of a "friends with benefits" vibe from them. I think he may be a tranny.
