Is it true the next amazing race starts in September? If so, does anyone know what the date is?

Thanks.

Sweet

Aside from the two bats getting eliminated, my favorite part of this episode is the dance of joy that one of the twins did when they got to the mystery charter and realized that they had arrived before the Moms and M&C. It just confirmed that white people cannot dance.

Just saw this one, and if I may borrow a term from Team Jesus, PRAISE THE LORD!!! Great to finally have those two dingbats gone, especially after they were laughing at the other teams and said their stupid "Do not help these Americans" line. As another poster said, I can finally enjoy the rest of the season, knowing I'm okay with any of the remaining teams winning.

That shit with the bus was incredibly shady, and I know what assholes those bus drivers can be in third-world countries from experience. It wasn't cool for him to do that, but then you figured it would happen to someone at some stage of the race.

Spoiler:
Next week looks like Colin will get screwed, but then they always have a way of twisting the previews around a bit.

I don't blame the bus driver at all. These 4 goofs jump on the bus and demand that they leave NOW. NOW!!!!!! And then they start throwing money around. What did they expect was going to happen when they start saying crap like 'I'll pay you a hundred dollars to leave right NOW!!!!' Maybe they thought the lowly backward african people would bow to them and their almighty dollar. But they soon realized that they weren't the ones in charge and their money only meant that they got to get off the bus without any lasting scars. Look how the other teams handled it. 5 bucks, 3 bucks. over and done.

When the Jesus chick threw the money on the ground I was bracing for her to get dropped like a sack of rocks and I'm sure her boyfriend saw the same thing coming. He picked up the money quick and got them out of there, which was the only smart thng he did all day.

I think you're reading a lot into their attitudes with the "lowly backward African people" comment.

I forgot about Bus 1, but Bus 3's teams did the same "Let's go now!" thing. Bus 2's driver charged them four to eight times as much as the other team at first ($40... not sure if that was for both teams or for each team), and then tried to charge them $200 (!) after they were on the bus. When Bus 2's teams called him on his BS and were going to get off the bus, he stood in their way. He then proceeded to run out of gas partway through the trip, and then charged them for his screw-up on top of the $100 he was charging them, ten to twenty times as much as any other.

The bus driver was full of crap, and he took advantage of those teams. They should've shopped around a little more.

He can try to screw them over if he wants, but not letting them leave the bus was way over the line.
