A number of big ET and CT markets need to pad due to late games airing on those CBS affiliates. DC, NY, and Philly among them. Check your listings to see if you have a 4 pm NFL game in your area.

About 9 minutes late in effected markets (at least those that aired the JAX/SF game).

It's only 5 letters. There are only so many combinations possible!!!!!!

The Trotters are just too dumb for this game. How do you not get Franz when there is only one vowel and you know it starts with an F?

I will be sad if anyone other than Meghan/Cheyne win this game. Not only have they been the best team, but they are the only team left in which both are likable.

Yeah I'm sitting here watching the Trotter suck and I came to the realization that Meghan/Cheyne are the only team deserving of the win.

The Globetrotters just cost me a possible $100 win in my AR pool. Seriously, how stupid can you be? If AR contestants had to pass an intelligence test, I think that the Race would have been down one Globetrotter.

What a remarkably stupid penalty to take. There are only so many possibilities and you knew the first letter, so that made it far less.
I have no problem with the douche not giving them the word/name, but don't say you're sorry when you're not. I really hope the douches don't win the race. Biggest bunch of whiners ever, even more than the all-female teams.

I was hoping that the broken arm on the golem would send the brothers back to do it again allowing the Globetrotters to stay in. That was pretty shitty to say they would work together and then not tell him the answer.

Why on earth would you take a FOUR HOUR PENALTY on a guessing challenge? If he had just guessed every damn combination he would have gotten it before 4 hours!

Gay or straight, male or female, the brothers are the biggest bitches ever on TAR.

WTF is the point of a task that involves lugging a heavy, fragile clay statue through the streets and having it inspected at the end if there is no penalty or forced do-over if you BREAK IT.
Looks like Brian and Ericka got a penalty for something (Phil gave them the "You are the third team to arrive" instead of the "You are team number three" greeting) but I guess the Globetrotters were so far behind it didn't matter.

He only had to fill out the form a max of 24 more times with F being the first letter in the word to pass the challenge.

I figured the Globetrotters would have issues when they choose Big Easy to do that task. I was yelling at the screen to have Flight do it. Still, I didn't think it would be THAT bad. I like the guy, but I think there have been several points on the race to reaffirm that Big Easy is just not a really smart man.
If Big Easy believed Dan about the letter F than there is really no excuse. I don't see how you could believe Dan in that moment though.
If I were Sam I would have hit Dan on this leg...I really would have just hauled back and smacked him.
There are reasons to not like all three teams, but I'm rooting for Meghan and Cheyne. They've easily run the best race.

Yep -- and there's absolutely no way the word is going to end in a vowel if there's ONLY one vowel in the whole word. So that leaves only 18 combinations. I'm SURE 18 combinations would take MORE than 4 hours to try . They lost any right to be in the finals on that one...

I really liked the Globetrotters, but man did Big Easy screw this one up.
Oh well. Here's hoping any team except the brothers win this thing. Agreeing to work with someone and then screwing them over is a total dick move.

He had to have written the right answer in his notes and was just too stupid to know it.
