Hey, Arun and Natalia actually found their way to a destination!

I wonder how well Cayla and Raquel would have done on their own.

I suspect they'd still be looking for the fish.

[iMonrey]

I think the bunching really helped most of the teams this leg. Not much opportunity for a shake-up in placements.

[Browncoat]

Yeah, without the bunching, there wouldn't have been as much collaboration.

[PaperTree]

Those knots looked hard.  But only one hole?

I went canoeing once.  They pulled us off the river 2 hours late and over 5 miles short. We must have crashed and flipped over then dumped that thing out over 50 times.  Water was real low and there were lots of rocks😎

[rebeccalj]

Ugh - low water in a canoe is torture.  They gave you much mercy!

They were wise to wait for Penn and Kim after the cheese-fest.  That said, it really helped P/K that there were four people to memorize the fish.  that was truly a task that benefited from a group effort. 

 

[Browncoat]

Stop with the hugging!

The others wanted to leave and had paid the deposit.😎

Non-elimination? Arun & Natalia are hard to lose . . .

[iMonrey]

This has to be non-elim, right?

Almost seems like the task was designed to create either collaboration or chaos.

ASMR fans loving this.

Phil: “I’m trying to remember a team that’s had so many second chances!” Dude . . . BJ & Tyler! Andrew & Dan!

[MerBearHou]

What the heck??!!

I do think they’re a sweet team, but still…

[iMonrey]

They really need to stop departures in groups like this. This whole leg was just a wash.

[toomuchtv]

9 lives for sure

[meligator]

Is every other a non-elim at this point?

[Browncoat]

At some point, they'll run out of second chances.  Didn't the hippies get non-eliminated more than once?

I watch on the DVR so behind you guys. I do like the bitching about teams racing from Kim and Penn, only because it is the first hint that they are not perpetually nice. On the other hand, it is a Race so race. 

Is that bitching?  "I want to take them to the finals to beat them."  Pretty nice bitching.  But you can't really blame Cayla and Raquel.  I don't think anyone would have expected them to follow a team going the wrong way.

I wonder if it has something to do with not being able to bring all the teams back even with the replacements.  It does feel like a lot of non-elims.

[Maverick]

 Are you effing kidding me?!

[Lamb18]

I don't mind non-eliminations if it means more episodes.

Works for me. It’s accurate but not mean.

Quite likely.  If we want the same number of legs that we would have had in the Before Times, we have to put up with more non-eliminations.

[ProfCrash]

The net looks trickier then you think. Kim and Penn are doing great. I think they would have been fine solo on the fish task but collaboration helped. 

[Thalia]

They have really benefited from the fact that so many teams couldn't come back after the Covid break. 

 

[Browncoat]

Besides, it could be worse.  It could have been Akbar and Shari non-eliminated last week.
