One more thing, it’s possible the cabs were prearranged by TAR and the cabbies instructed to say “no” unless the clue was presented properly. The nurses admitted they didn’t read the clue but they didn’t explain the additional information , other than the Chinese language inclusion. It’s possible the clue stated they had to present the Chinese direction to the cabbie. Agree it made no sense whatsoever to assume racism, sexism, etc. Other teams had no issue whatsoever and presented the clue correctly. Also don’t think it’s a stretch to assume TAR had arranged for the cabs ahead of time, given what we’ve seen in the past with teams suffering through no fault of their own over bad cab rides..

Same thing happening to me. I've discarded numerous posts because I couldn't type without opening an ad. Same thing was happening to me…made it impossible to follow the forums. But I changed my browser ( for Primetimer ) to Opera and problem solved. No pop ups…no videos. Amazing. I use Chrome for everything else.

Yes, the Survivor gift shop is located next to the Build A Hut store with all the pre cut bamboo and palm fronds. Just a short walk takes you to the Spa and Stuff area where you may select your wardrobe for the day and get a massage. This IS “NEW ERA” Survivor, after all. Sheesh!

Maria definitely needed to go. She sliced bread ( wow )……and very slowly, at that. At first I assumed she’d be responsible for the entire dish…slice and grill the bread and make the toppings. But no….just slicing and grilling. I can’t believe she messed up garlic bread. How do you make garlic bread with almost no taste! Both of these jobs were elementary and she should have been helping out her teammates. Phouc had no problem doing that in the luncheon competition. I agree with others who don’t like Hannah, but her team definitely deserved the win. Got to give her team credit for restraint with their knives….not sure if I could be that disciplined if she tried to mess with my soup.

Danny and Angie SHOULD HAVE immediately radioed to their crew when they lost them. They were still close and in range…Angie even said they should radio them, but Danny….who’s never wrong, apparently, nixed the idea. Wrong move, Danny. So it doesn’t matter who was driving the crew car ( if you believe Danny, that is ), they would have resolved the issue within minutes had they radioed immediately like Angie wanted. The exit interview was only their version of what happened. TAR stated Angie made an illegal turn in the roundabout and all the honking and gnashing of teeth seems to indicate this was true. Nonetheless, they could have, and should have resolved the issue by using their radio. Not a popular opinion, I know, but I’m so glad to have Danny off my screen. They couldn’t have won anyway. Angie , in her interview, said their strong suit was puzzles, not the physical stuff. Cough, cough….then why did she need help putting together a large format puzzle that my grandson could have done in just a few minutes? Net foot, you’re so right about lost opportunities. So many beautiful places….

It’s possible that the teams were required to radio their turns to the crew. We saw, for the first time, that the racers are equipped with walkie talkies. There must be a reason for this . I think we were allowed to see this to partially explain the whole “ lost crew “ drama. Both Danny and his mother were talking to the following crew but when they went around the roundabout and continued without the crew following, Angie said they should wait up right then and there for the crew since they weren’t that far apart and the walkie talkies should still work. Danny said no, that the crew would catch up to them at the mat. If they violated a rule that all turns have to be communicated to the crew, then they deserved to be eliminated. only speculation, of course, but kind of makes sense. Why else have the radios? ( assuming the “help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” is yet another reason for the radios ). No way a crew could keep up with small little cars turning left and right in the middle of a city with out notice of the turns so they could follow.

No, I think it’s because of the sand color. Sand is pinkish brown. SC beaches look the same way…water is clean but look dark because of the sand

Just noticed with the long shot at the pit stop the kite surfers in the water. Looks like FUN! That could have been a roadblock 😁

The firefighters….OMG. They seem like lovely people but I hope neither drives the fire truck…they’d never find the fire.

Maybe her teammate wouldn’t be haranguing her if she learned how to drive a stick before the race, learned how to read a map, and learned how to give better directions than “ look to your left and see if you see anything” ….while he’s driving. Sorry, but to spend more than five minutes with her must be exhausting.

Question: Both Amber and Angie weren’t carrying packs, but so were one or two of the other women, and I think one was Leticia (?). And the men weren’t carrying two packs, just one. Did they decide to pack all their stuff in one bag? Have never seen this before. I’ve seen where a partner will pick up their partner’s pack to help if they were struggling, but don’t remember seeing only one pack per team. or….my memory is having brain cramps….

I finally figured out why Survivor has lost its appeal. It’s now completely without any flavor…like eating the world’s best pizza with no taste buds. old school : Rupert stealing the other tribe’s shoes actually meant something to the game. Him making a skirt to wear to alleviate chafing was hysterical. new school: God knows how many wardrobe changes they now have. And Soda’s confessional after the mud challenge had her with squeaky clean hair, nails, and make up and wearing a pink dress that was freshly ironed. It’s now just a cast of people spending time on an island with a complete support staff behind them…..yawn!

“Sorry, but I'm team Vinnie on this one. I know it's easy to judge from the comfort of home and we can never know what it's really like to be there -- but I really got the impression that it was less of an issue of Amber not being able to keep up, and more that she just didn't like feeling pressured into it; like the "racing" aspect was just a choice and not the obvious practical thing to do. They're both young and healthy-looking, running through crowded city streets, and only one of them was carrying any weight on his/her back.“ Totally agree. Amber actually said, during the art challenge, “ oh no, I guess I have to run again”. Seriously! Amber, dear, it’s, well, you know, a RACE! It must be exhausting to have to cater to her self doubt issues. I thought Vinnie handled it the best he could under the circumstances. Why the heck did she sign up for this if she doesn’t like the race aspect of it?

Sigh….another potentially good crime procedural turned into yet another soap opera. The show should be good enough without all the personal backstory garbage. Just think of the original Law and Order ( the mothership ). We had oblique references to wives and husbands but it never got in the way of the story. I think writers today are just lazy…throw in emotional baggage when you can’t write a decent story otherwise. These actors deserve better. This week’s episode was flat out embarassing.

How about ditch the assistants, have Kylie be the support team for JM, and, for heaven’s sake, get new writers.
