I can't remember out of the two who was driving, but Morgan/Lena grinded their clutch and Joel and Garrett mentioned stalling at an intersection/red light, so they are definitely driving stick shift. So far no "how does this go into reverse" drama like in season's past.

I don't know why Ashlie thought they might be in last. First, count the cars when you arrive at the pit stop - they were clearly the fifth car there. Second, they said earlier that they hadn't seen Chelsea and Robbin all day and there was no way they leapfrogged ahead of everyone. Using the beard to navigate - a new one for racers!

I believe it was S15 where Mika was too scared to go down the waterslide, with Flight Time and Big Easy catching up. FT and BE said they were allowed to talk to her and ask if they could pass, but they were not allowed to just barge ahead as technically she was still "ahead" of them and next in line. Eventually she did let them go by.

Is this going to be like the Friends episode where Monica convinces her boyfriend "Fun Bobby" to stop drinking and it turns out Bobby is actually quite boring?

I totally get it @badhaggis! I've noticed a growing trend of people pushing celebrities to speak out about this particular topic on posts that have absolutely nothing to do with it. (I encourage you to visit Ryan's IG post on his award though. It is in typical Ryan humour about promising things to the guy at Safeway and then realizing it's not a political appointment.)

Tagentically related, Ryan Reynolds was awarded the Order of British Columbia yesterday and naturally people took to his Instagram post to ask why he isn't speaking out about the Israel/Palestine war.

Agreed. As we are all well aware, Anna Leigh knew they were in last. I laughed harder than I should have when she flew right past the "taken" sign. (I may have also clapped in glee...) Rob and Corey are just simply delightful. Even after they figured Greg and John were a bit snippy due to the Express Pass, they took it in stride and just moved on with the task. (Paging Anna Leigh...) If that's an improvement to Morgan and Lena's relationship, I cringe to think of what it was before.

You're right. That honour goes to Die Hard 2. (Which is oft forgotten as a Christmas movie - his wife is flying home on Christmas... typical shenanigans ensue.)

While I generally dislike Alex, I got a good laugh at her line about Cory's endless monologues. The last few minutes really paid off, and Billy Crudup's way of playing Cory as over the top with his reactions worked really well. I am enjoying the hell out of Jon Hamm in this role. And hello Cybil! Did anyone else think it was Frank buying up all the stock to screw Cory?

I think many here will appreciate that they stressed they will say more if and when they want and are able. Otherwise, let them grieve in privacy.

I agree - but they can be a very vocal minority that I think sometime badger people into doing things (like making public statements). It's mob mentality. Jennifer Aniston as mentioned recently joined Instagram, and Courtenay Cox has been active on there for some time, often making Friends references. I don't actively follow any of the former cast, so I'm not sure about the others.

To most civilized people, it's obvious they would be mouring a loss of a close friend (pun not intended). But, there's a contigent of people who think if they don't post, they don't care. (edit to add) I see a lot of "what was that noise" or "why all the sirens" on local sub-Reddits. We have become a very nosy society because of social media. I heard a news story this morning about how Perry's cause of death has now been "deferred" and my immediate response was "we are never entitled to know."

I thought this myself, and saw a comment that also said, "This reads like a 90s Mad Lib of pop culture."

And to make a long story short... TOO LATE. (Is it too late to add "the entirety of Clue" as my favourite scene?)

I believe they mean they got around 2 hours of sleep in the previous part - probably on the bus ride with the recliner seats. Multiple teams mentioned not having a lot of rest. They did not stop between being given the next clue at the mat and the continuation we saw in the last episode.

Assane is reading a letter from Pellegrini, with the implication that he's been playing the long game and has been behind this all along - and perhaps you shouldn't trust those that you do (cut to Mariama and Ben). I don't believe Pellegrini was reading a letter?

And Just Like That just did this. The husband thought the wife was "just hormonal" post partum and didn't really mean it when she asked, so he never went through with it.

That explains why the last few times I've got to each site, they are exactly the same.

Didn't Seinfeld do the same with Julia Louis Dreyfus?

I do love the gnome (especially when he's dressed appropriately for the task or region), but the old school scramble for transportation is doing exactly what it should - mix up the order of the teams and keep it far more interesting.

Count me in with those who thought the big secret Stella was keeping about Paul was leaning in a different direction. Also, is she so blind that she doesn't see that offering her Cory's job is a pay off? That being said, I'm enjoying the hell out of John Hamm, who admittedly I never paid much attention to before. (I never watched Mad Men.) He is acting circles around most - especially Greta Lee (Stella) - who I find to be a weak actor. (I have never seen her in anything else either.) Chip, Chip, Chip. What is with you?

I remember watching one episode where Lucy was basically berating Kevin into proposing, and my friend and I (both early 20s at the time) made a promise that we would knock some sense into the other if we acted in such a manner.

Late to the party, but I am thrilled Ty and Kat won. They were great racers from day 1, with a good attitude, even when the going got tough. You could tell at which point Ben and Anwar knew they were out. There was a scene in a cab where they looked visibly emotional and down. That was a great final memory challenge - kudos to the producers for coming up with choices that matched the amount of letter spaces. That definitely made it harder. I would have immediately thought of tourtiere first, unless I knew the coinciding answers were correct and letters didn't match.

I remember the outrage over Dodger not being included in any of Evans' Sexiest Man photos. If a photo of Dodger in some kind of doggy tux gets out there - it will break the internet. (See: previous photos of Dodger in matching sweater to Chris' Knives Out character.)

I'm guessing the opening bell was faked, or played later? Because otherwise, total spoiler on who the final 4 teams are. There's something lately about Kayleen that's bugging me, and I can't place it, but I'm no longer actively rooting for her and Tyler. If Ty and Kat get eliminated, my choice would be Ben and Anwar for winners. (Very smart and strategic of them to notice Amanda's weakness in tennis and hit directly to her.) This is quite a heavy duty leg (and still more to go!) with a lot of physical work involved. That pole climb must have been agony.
