I dont understand why people think the Guidos couldnt build up a 1/2 hour lead over another team...if they reached the intersection 4th, teamed up with Dustin and Candice, found the Sausage place quicker, those 4 would have left the restaraunt WAY before the other teams...Dustin, Candice, Joe and Bill all finished the food in record times, they were all waiting for eric, danielle and Charla to finish eating.

Damn! I don't know why my Tivo didn't record the second hour. I missed all the good stuff...an eating contest, Charla getting knocked over in a suit of armor. I didn't even see who came in last in the first hour. It was the Guidos and D&E racing to the finish. Did the Guidos come in last and get marked for elimination? Eliminated on the next leg?
But I love the tuning task and how they broke several strings. Charla and Mirna were silly with the polish sausage question to the driver.

guidos did come in last the first hour, after some teams had already started the next leg. it was a non-elim, so they were marked for elimination.

nice of Oswald & Danny to give up the trip to Uch & Joyce, I hope one of those 2 teams wins the race.
Eric & Danielle are the new Rob & Amber in my opinion, actually they are more annoying then them, danielle is a moron & Eric treats her like shit.
Phil looks even more grumper this week then last, i can just think as he is standing there asking himself-'were's my check? so i can leave'.
pretty good episode, i was happy it as 2 hours but i would have liked to have seen it start an hr earlier so they could have both cold case & without a trace instead of just cold case, but both shows were good last night!

Team Cha Cha Cha gave up a trip they won to Joyce & Uchenna? How come?

After watching the last episode, has anyone thought that maybe they should've make the eating challenge fairer by having the portion of food be proportional to their weight? It's not fun watching someone like Charla who probably weight 1/3 of the weight of one of the big guys but still have to eat the same amount of food. Watching a girl throw up after eating so much is just not entertaining to watch.

Also got burned by the Tivo non record. I was padding by 1/2 hour, but now I pad each show by 1 hour.
And for some reason CBS.com does not repeat TAR eps online.
Rooting for U&J, but really would have no problem with anyone winning at this point, I think the season has been fairly entertaining.

Did it seem like maybe there was a task that was cut (or edited out) from the first leg? Just seemed odd to me that it was flight, find Chopin, one detour, and go to the pit stop. Yeah, the flight situation was a task of sorts, but still..
And I agree the second leg was really poorly designed. If anything they should have had a less linear task after the Intersection broke apart. The only way Guidos would have had any chance is if they somehow made up the half hour in travel time. I can only assume that the producers were desperate to get everyone at least somewhat bunched up after two legs of wildly distant finish times.
It's kind of screwed up that only one prize was available. I could see if it became a situation where the teams were purposely finishing together to maximize prizes, but in this circumstance (Intersection + Fast Forward) I think it would have been okay to give them both the prize. Cheap ass Travelocity!
