90 minutes of mostly watching teams drive around lost is not as entertaining as it has been in the past.

That made no sense to me. She appeared to have bruises on her face and a bit of a black eye, I kept expecting her husband to show up. I don't understand the Matthew situation, either. I know he wasn't a businessman like his father, and the tenement buildings were an issue, but the family obviously had personal wealth. And he managed to lose everything, just like that? To the extent that they need to live on Trixie's salary?

I'm surprised they didn't give a food reward to the winning team.

Maybe I'm going crazy, but I distinctly remember an extremely brief clip from "This season on Top Chef" that looked like a fish boil. When they throw the accelerant on the fire, it's a sight that you don't forget.

They shouldn't need a rule like that, because teams generally realize it's a RACE. It's in the name of the show and everything.....

I was looking forward to this season because it was primarily in South America, which they haven't visited a lot lately. But unfortunately, there is a sameness to these countries, even though they're spread out across a continent and have different cultures. If you know one language - Spanish - you're set, and that advantage carries over leg after leg after leg. It also seems that you're less likely to find people who understand English.

They can absolutely pull things back after the cashier has scanned them. We've seen this numerous times when a team has gone over budget, they start removing things until they're under. The cashier just scans it again with a reversal, it's not hard. I'm really disappointed that Manny and Kevin did such simple presentations of beef and then messed them up as well.

"At least they didn't have to come and get us."

Is no one going to dust for clues? I'm so disappointed.

How did they not realize this was going to be a physical RB?

It would be more fun if it were a slide puzzle.

Don't they still have the Amazing Fanny Pack for that?

Best ending to a reality show ever! I 100% knew that Sam would vote to steal, but I waffled about Blake. Camille is my new hero.

With one exception, it sounds like their "alliances" were where other teams were helping them.

Well, it felt like the fact that she was a helicopter maintenance technician was going to be important later on in the episode, and so it proved.
