Another bummer Survivor episode to try and mentally erase!

From watching The Amazing Race I've guessed that "Wat" means "temple."

The father and son's relationship reminds me of Matt and Gary from season 15. Very different people but their relationship dynamic seems similar.

[Lantern7]

Complicated Roadblock!

[Browncoat]

Seems easy enough, just a little tricksy.  Beautiful flowers, though!

[Pepper the Cat]

OMG.

I See a lot of minor mistakes with a few melt downs

I hope the farmers were given big bucks for this

[Lantern7]

Rob signs the title.

[Lamb18]

I don't get what the three-four-three formation means with the lotus leaves.

I see now, it's how the bulbs are arranged. Three rows - three bulbs on top, four in the middle, three on the bottom.

I think they have to have the lotuses arranged in 3 4 3, then wrapped with lotus leaves. So 3 bulbs at the top, 4 in the middles, 3 at the bottom

Bad taxi karma strikes again. Hope Jocelyn gets unstuck.

Can picture several people not doing it right and not being able to figure what's wrong.

[Lantern7]

Two commercial breaks in and not all of the teams have departed.

[Browncoat]

So, did the guys not read the clue properly, or did they not communicate well with their taxi driver?

And are these extended episodes because of extra commercials, or is there extra actual content?

[Lantern7]

I didn’t know catfish could be found outside the US.

[Pepper the Cat]

I can’t imagine getting soaking wet at the start of a leg and having to be wet for the rest of the day. Unless they are given time to,shower and change?

 

[Lamb18]

They should have gotten different shirts for the Roadblock, too, since they may not have time to wash them. Just to pack that stinky, mucky shirt . . .

Catfish are found all over the world.

Does Lena really think the Race is going to send her into crocodile infested waters?

Heh. If this was The Challenge, there would be so many crocs.

[Browncoat]

Last to depart:  11:08 -- anyone catch when the first team left?

8:27?

[Quilt Fairy]

8:26

8:26 a.m. Thank you, DVR rewind!

[chicagofan]

Did Jocelyn just say "I'm going to barf right now - give me a second"? That should have been the episode title.

She did, and that would have been an excellent episode title.

[Grizzly]

Feel for Jocelyn thinking she's disappointing her in-laws.

If this was Survivor, you’d probably be correct.

Jocelyn breaks through! Rob’s not getting his mistake, though.

Whoops, he nailed it in five attempts!

[dizzyd]

So happy for Rob.

[Lamb18]

Glady Jocelyn finally got her lotus bulb bouquet approved.

[chicagofan]

I'm surprised they're telling them what's wrong with their bouquets 

[Browncoat]

No fist-bumping the judge!

[Lamb18]

That guy's fist bump rejected by the Thai lady. Ha!

[Browncoat]

Steve, they have examples there.  Look at those.

[Lamb18]

Steve's not doing the 3-4-3 arrangement.

[chicagofan]

More taxi drama.

[Lantern7]

The canned elephant roar is amusing to me.

[Lamb18]

The Cook detour should be easy for Victor and Jocelyn.

Oh, yeah, they're going to rock this one.

Oh, Scoop seems a little like live Pac-man with pomelos instead of dots.  

[Lamb18]

This is like a punting challenge! (pomelo challenge) I'd like to try one of those.

[Browncoat]

No kissing the judge, either.

[Quilt Fairy]

Wow, Steve, way to be an ugly American.

 

[chicagofan]

"Something just touched my butt, and not in a good way". And the quotes keep coming.

Because a period and an m are not the same thing

“Do not taunt Happy Fun Judge.”

[Lamb18]

I'm beginning to see Todd and Ashlie's dynamic. When she gets down on herself he can get her out of her funk.

[urusai]

Do you think they put the Pomelos back in the water or replace the ones that were scooped?  Otherwise the later teams would have to travel farther?

[Lantern7]

I tried jackfruit once. Didn’t really like it. 🤷‍♂️

[Browncoat]

I kind of love Victor and Jocelyn.  They're so cute!

I wondered that, too.

[Lamb18]

I think Luuk might mean "fruit".

That looks like a lovely place for a pitstop!

[MerBearHou]

Easy Breezy challenge in the market for Victor and Jocelyn.

[Lamb18]

There's still forty minutes left. One or more teams must mess up spectacularly!
