Great episode. Probably my favorite Roadblock from any season.
Jen and Kristi still in the game!
Should have been an elimination leg based on the ability to catch up easily during the Roadblock. If you arrived last at the Roadblock, you still had a chance to get first.

That was a brutal roadblock.
I do miss the days when the teams could get spaced out. Yeah it was hard on Phil and the production crew but seeing that one team, I think was still in Alaska, told that the race was over was cool.

Really enjoying this season after checking out early on the last few. Helps when you have a rooting interest; I'm a big fan of Big Brother. Also none of these teams are annoying me, which is almost never the case.

This season has been great so far, the only negative for me this episode was the really unbalanced detour. Looking forward to 2 hours next week.

This has been a great season so far and the ratings have been good too! The find the gnome challenge was great! That may be my favorite challenge of the whole series. I liked that this was a brutal, physical episode. It's worthy of being part of a Challenge final. I'm a little bit worried that Cedric may die out there. He's had three heart attacks and doesn't look like he's in great shape....

What a close call for Cedric and Shawn.
I was disappointed that they went from first to finishing last until it turned out to be a non-elimination leg. Cedric was dumb for really over-exerting himself by carrying that really heavy backpack around while doing the tasks, climbing stairs etc. He should have used some common sense and left it with Shawn. Plus as mentioned in the broadcast, he's had some health issues.
So far I'm enjoying this season. Most of the teams so far are fairly likable and no one is really annoying. The tasks have been fun.

Yeah, this is a solid season. Nearly all the teams are likable. Even Yale is in a douchey way.

After doing that brutal "chase the gnome" challenge, I'm surprised anyone voluntarily chose the followup challenge of dragging boxes uphill through twisty streets. Maybe the editing was deceiving, but that belly dance challenge looked like it took hardly any time at all.
I might be the only one, but I can't stand the eaters. And I suspect many couldn't stand the Yogis. I read coming in that many can't stand the BB couple.

Did they make it clear that it only entailed finding the names, or did it seem like they may have had to do some dancing? Those performance challenges had ended up getting very physically strong teams bounced because they couldn't pull off the silly performance. When a team's strength is their physical strength, they should always take the straight forward physical option. I also tend to think the editing is what made the box dragging look worse that it was.

The worst part those performance challenges is the judging is always so arbitrary. Only thing worse than a team being eliminated because of a bad taxi is being the only team the judge didn't give a pass to until they were the only team left.
