The Amazing Race - 2011-12

This. Seriously, at least specialize and have one team member master the car and the other master a map. Also, bring a compass with you so you know which direction you're going. And yet, every season it seems, we have someone driving halfway across the country because they were reading the map upside down.

 

It's actually probably preferable to split those tasks. Although if neither member of the team is good at reading maps, you're screwed either way.

 

I don't know if they can bring the compass.

But definitely brush up on how to generally get around. Also, it wouldn't hurt to know airport hubs for major world airlines to know to get around as well.

 

Well, that episode made IJAG's job easy!

It's amazing that no one hurled while building the puzzles. I sure would have. And, Ernie and Cindy caught a huge, huge break when no one collected the train tickets. But, we don't know yet what Phil will say to them at the mat and if there's a penalty. They are so lucky to still be on the show.

 

Oh, good, was there no check-in? The race went long for rain and I had to not record this, so i was going to have to watch it online tonight. But if there were no points awarded, I can take my time!

 

It's to be continued, too. Yeah, the next leg of the race begins, NOW!

 

The only thing we know is that Amani and Marcus won the leg - then were told to keep on going.

 

I wondered if Ernie and Cindy will be penalized for not having their train tickets - but I didn't pay attention to the previews for next week. So I could be wrong.

The bodybuilding competition challenge cracked me up, from Marcus and Amani hamming it up on stage to the people in the audience cheering them on. Legoland? I got sick just watching that.

 

Not sure why Cindy and Ernie would be penalized by the show, since technically they "got away with" their error.

But since they U-turned my team the week before, I hope Phil opens up a can of karma on them.

 

What about what's her name for not stopping at the HCA statue on her return trip?

For the body building, I'd just take the four hour penalty.

 

I love these to be continued legs, if for nothing else, the look on the exhausted racers faces when they are told, "You are still racing." Some look close to tears!

Legoland was AWESOME. I'm officially going to go to Denmark on my next trip.

 

That had to be a long-ass leg, covering three counties, and now they have to keep racing.

This was one of the more fun episodes they've had in awhile, with the poem, Legoland and body building challenges.
