As much as I want the staggered starts to return, I dig everyone together listening to Phil telling them about their next destination.

On to Jordan we go!

[Grizzly]

Camels!

[PaperTree]

Steam trains are so cool!

[Lamb18]

Jordan! So cool - it looks like they are going to Petra (I hope). The camels are so cute!

[dizzyd]

This whole episode just seems so surreal to me and it’s just started. Railway lines built in sand, didn’t know that was possible. And the camel “mercenaries”. Yup like a movie.

The riders on horses and camels - that is so cool!  I suppose Sharik said "I want to go home."

I would ask if I could pet his horse.

Hopefully the comedic kind!

A rabbi, priest, and camel jockey walk into an oasis.

Noticing the twins wearing caps with the South Korean flag on them. 🇰🇷

[Lamb18]

Man, my laptop is buffering so much. I hope I don't miss too much of the show.

Speaking of camels,

What day is it today?

[Lantern7]

Wait, the nod to films based in that area . . . is metal detecting? Lame.

[dizzyd]

The sand is really going to work those thighs. Hope Jordan isn’t going to take out the twins, I like them.

Great catch!

[Lamb18]

I'm waiting for a talking head from Sharik about her quitting attitude from last episode.

[dizzyd]

Lol @ lumumba! No matter how long this takes, it can’t be as bad as the leave no stone unturned RB in Greece last year, that was so difficult.

[Lantern7]

“I found an orange can.”

”Aliens like their beverages.”

At least Lumumba is bringing in choice quotes.

[Lamb18]

Are those cans planted decoys?

[Lantern7]

Oh, man, the trailing teams are not looking smart. 🤦‍♂️

[Grizzly]

Sharik, if you know how to do it, maybe you should of done this roadblock.

Disappointed that Derek was rewarded for his incorrect usage of a metal detector. I watch a lot of Josh Gates, I would've killed this challenge.

[Lantern7]

So tempting to feed the camels!

[Lamb18]

One of the twins' leg is hurting her pretty bad but she can manage to suck it up and continue.

They would not be grateful and spit at you, lol, but they are cool to ride. 
 

eta.   Must be on a delay here…didn’t realize it was a challenge option … just showed it now.  Agree, that’s the option I would take.  I suck at slide puzzles.

Guy with the clipboard writing “DUMMIES!” in Arabic . . .

[toodywoody]

Am I the only one that saw Dom's sweaty face last time and immediately thought of the movie Airplane and other movies where they are pouring down buckets of sweat? I forgot to mention it last week. Because when they went to show their confessional at the end I busted out laughing because that's what it looked like.

I love this show and love Phil and he is so much better than Probst.

[Lamb18]

A Survivor challenge! slide puzzle!

I would do the camel challenge, especially if it was on a Wednesday.

Maybe Sharik's dad is doing it wrong on purpose.

Edited October 20, 2022 by Lamb18

[DEL901]

Derek and Claire are in 1st?

[Lamb18]

Did she say "petrol" instead of Petra?

Good, Lumumba and his wife made it out ahead of Sharik and dad.

[Lantern7]

“Go to Petra. PLEASE.”

[PaperTree]

Wow!  Really flipping the order

[Lantern7]

This Detour is unbalanced. At least have Jeff Probst to yell at the people doing the slide puzzle.

Edited October 20, 2022 by Lantern7

[Thalia]

The camels are really cute.  And I'm so glad they aren't smoking cigarettes on a family show.  

[Lamb18]

Even though the camel detours seems longer at least you can complete it. If you're not good at puzzles you could be stuck for hours.

Especially if you are unobservant.  The building is right in front of them.  That’s the reference.  

[Grizzly]

Lol at Audrey sticking the clues down the front of her pants. Glad Glenda and Labumba are safe. I really like Quinton and Mattie. They have a great relationship. "The Jordanians don't play." Love it.

[Lantern7]

Desert Puppies!!

Prophetic😎  Well Sharik is happy.

Edited October 20, 2022 by PaperTree

Poor little puppies! I hope someone is taking care of them.

[Lantern7]

Looks like another exhausted team is out. Who will make us roll our eyes now?

Phil giving Aubrey & David the runaround . . .

Agreed - that was my first thought.  They’re so cute.  Need food and water!

[EllenB]

Huh, Sharik pulled her weight on that last task and stayed fairly positive - and even squealed over the puppies. I'm glad for her father that she was a decent teammate right at the end.

[Lantern7]

Another decent episode.

Positive COVID test?!? Dang!
