Iceland!  So much fun.  

[dizzyd]

TY TAR for such a gorgeous season! 

[PaperTree]

Wow Iceland!  I was thinking South America from the previews.

[Lamb18]

Cool! Iceland!

[chaifan]

Well, it's a good thing I didn't pick "Expedia" for the TAR drinking game.  I'd be hammered already!

[Lamb18]

Room for the entire camera crew in the Land Rovers. 

[Browncoat]

Height-wise, I think I'd be better on the ice climb than the tightrope walking last week.  Strength-wise, I'd probably still be trying to climb that ice wall.  I have spaghetti arms!

[Grizzly]

Claire is such a backseat driver. And hates heights but will tell Derrick how to scale the glacier.

[Lamb18]

My goodness, the others turned around and Derek and Claire kept on going and got to the Roadblock first.

[Browncoat]

All I can think about is how cold that water is.

[Lamb18]

They've had this challenge before, haven't they? Or one really similar.

[Browncoat]

Yes they have.  I don't remember where it was, though.  I feel like it was in a warmer place.

[meligator]

Surely you know some basic swimming to do this race - like driving a stick shift and knowing what diesel fuel is.

[Grizzly]

Wasn't it last year in Corsica?

It was definitely last season, I couldn't remember if it was Corsica. 

[PaperTree]

Learn to drive a stick if you're going on this show!

I had  dirtbike as a teenager 45 years ago so I understand the concept and have briefly driven a couple cars (poorly), but a I would definitely get some current training.

At least I can swim😎

I can drive stick.  But I'd have no idea what to do with 2 sticks and what was it, 4?, pedals.  I figure one stick had to be for off-roading.  I'm surprised everyone figured it out.

The challenges aren't giving any opportunity for anyone to get ahead/fall behind.  So, pretty scenery, but it's first in/first out for the challenges.  Self navigation is again the real challenge of the episode.

[Lamb18]

Water challenges are really the thing tonight, aren't they?

Ducks! I love to hear quacking.

[Browncoat]

I'm all for self-navigation, and I believe there has been too much bunching in some previous seasons, but at the same time, I kind of like some bunching.

To be fair, Icelandic water is amazing.   

[Quilt Fairy]

"Lock the car."  Seriously?

[Lamb18]

I wonder who was in the gray car behind the sisters as they turned into the parking lot.

[hendersonrocks]

Aw, the 66 brand jacket that Michelle is wearing is an Icelandic brand! I loved their store in Reykjavik. It's so fun to see Iceland on the Race.

[Pepper the Cat]

As a person who needs my glasses to find my glasses I would be so screwed in this challenge. 

[Browncoat]

This is so cool.  I would struggle with it because I can't wear contacts and I'm pretty blind without my glasses, but it's still cool.  

66North is a great brand.  VERY spendy, but really good quality.

[Lamb18]

This challenge has good potential to change the race order.

[hendersonrocks]

Gullfoss is so beautiful, what a pitstop.

That is a finale-level memory task, and Derek and Claire just destroyed it.

[Lamb18]

At least being in the water shouldn't aggravate Emily's knee.

[rebeccalj]

The cold water may be helpful with the knee?

[Quilt Fairy]

Wow!  I was going to mention the TV show Trapped/Entrapped and here the lead actor is the greeter at the pitstop!  I'd know who he was for sure. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Hurray for Emily and Molly

[Lamb18]

Derek and Claire kissed! On the lips! What a rash display of public affection.

[MerBearHou]

This is heartbreaking for Aubrey and David to go out that way.  But they could not go back in that water again.  They were way off from getting the answers right and the panic attacks were taking over in that frigid water.  They were incredibly gracious on the mat with Phil.

[hendersonrocks]

Oh my, this is hard to watch.

[Browncoat]

I feel so bad for David.  I mean, I'm glad for Emily and Molly, but I really feel for David.  Panic attacks are no joke, especially in the water.

[chaifan]

Yeah!  Molly & Emily are in the final 3! 

Aubrey and David were so far off the proper order, I don't think that David's lack of swimming ability really was the problem.  They would have had to do it 2-3 times anyways, and still would have come in last.

[Pepper the Cat]

Sad for Aubrey and David. That is a tough way to go out

[Lamb18]

That-s too bad for David and Aubrey to have to quit like that.

[Quilt Fairy]

Only a 2 hour penalty?
