S35.E09: In the Belly of the Earth LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

Teams continue racing in Slovenia, carefully traveling on foot carrying wooden pieces on their back, descending deep into a cave to assemble a giant dragon, and scraping off mussels and barnacles in the waters.

Saying "Zero Euros" is hard. 

[Ladybugnine]

Hello? Anyone in here?

It is!

[dizzyd]

Cute guys in Slovenia. Last week’s 1991 guy and today’s wooden easel guy. 

[Grizzly]

Greg & John left at almost 10 am. Do they not do the 12 hour pitstop anymore?

[dizzyd]

I can see Corey finishing this in a breeze. He’s good at stuff like this.

I think that was abandoned ages ago.

[Browncoat]

Gee, Todd, how about figuring out things for yourself?

I really appreciate the many shots of him so far.

[Lantern7]

“No, it’s in Germany.”

That was funny.

[Browncoat]

Oooh, I wanna go where the dragons live!

Oh, that was funny -- Corey walking past the Beard.  I do so love the camera people.

[Lantern7]

An ostrich? WTF?!?

I don't even think that was an ostrich, but WTF was that?

[Browncoat]

Steve and AL were not even one whole hour behind.  The first team left at 9:56, and they left at 10:42.

[Quilt Fairy]

Emu?  My education is from insurance commercials.

[Lantern7]

Has a team ever won four legs in a row?

I think it might have been a rhea, but I'm not certain.

I believe you're right. I asked Google.

[Quilt Fairy]

Easy judges on this task.

[Lantern7]

Joel thinks it’s an emu. Chelsea thinks it’s an ostrich.

I really don't think it's an emu or an ostrich.

Unless you forget your rolling pin.

Well only if you don't forget your rolling bin.

It's called a rhea - related to an ostrich.

The better look at the bird convinced me that it is a rhea.

[PaperTree]

Credit AL knocking that out.  She still bugs me.

Bummer Chelsea!

That was harder than it first looked.

That was funny.

Just the thought of "yeah, they're making you walk to Germany in slo-mo with that rickety frame on your back" made me laugh.

[Browncoat]

Oh my.  Do buskers get more money if they wear animal head masks?

[Lantern7]

“Dad Detours.” That’s clever.

And "Are you sure?" "I'm very sure."

[Browncoat]

That cave is so cool, but all those stairs!

I love this task!

[dizzyd]

Must have been some magic water at the last pit stop, all teams being friendly to their partners and over all disagreements from before, for now. 

[Lantern7]

Assemble a dragon? I’m thinking someone from Survivor has gone freelance.

Also funny: “SPEE-lunkin’.”

“This dragon will never fly.” Local guy earning his check for this task.

[susannot]

Greg and John are the best.  I love that they are always enthusiastic about the tasks and love the amazing scenery surrounding them.

[Browncoat]

Y'know, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if Phil took y'all out of our misery, too.

[Grizzly]

Wrong ferry. Wrong cave. I'm seeing a trend.

[Lantern7]

Joel with the title quote.

[nilyank]

"All we had to do is roar."

[dizzyd]

I like the dungeon master. 

[Lantern7]

“Your job down here is done.” Could’ve used a dramatic pause, but still cool.

[PaperTree]

Dragon dude is a hoot!

[MerBearHou]

“Something seems amiss” as the dragon falls a bit

[Browncoat]

Dragon dude reminds me a little of Thor from the US version of "Ghosts."

[susannot]

Once again, I sympathize with Chelsea and Robbin because I would have been even more hopelessly lost.  And with Ashlie and Todd because I would have taken Every Wrong Exit.

[Grizzly]

Jane Fonda?

[Lantern7]

“Hanger-oners,” Phil?

[MerBearHou]

Love the missed high fives and “we’ll get that someday” and the roars by the mustachios!  

[Browncoat]

Barnacle scraping looks like a brutal task. 

[Lantern7]

Is it me, or does Dragon Master seem contemplative of Todd & Ashlie?

Not much suspense as to who gets eliminated this week.

[nilyank]

Slovenia is beautiful.
