This Roadblock just seems like a puzzle test. I'm not even sure going around the track again and again helps. You just have to be good (and fast) at puzzles.

It's a wonder Angie's made it this far if she's this out of shape.

Some people - like me! - turn bright red and get drenched with sweat just stepping outside. I always looked dreadful, but it never had a thing to do with how fit I was.

Beef.  I'd do the beef.

Probably, but I would have love to have eating detour.

"Holy cow"

HAH!

Doing the puzzle for other teams should not be allowed. That's ridiculous.

I literally said the exact same thing when she was helping.  Not fair AT ALL. I call BS

[Grizzly]

I am dusting for fingerprints! I love murder mysteries and hate meat.

[Browncoat]

Bizzy loves scoring in all senses of the word.  Heh.

[Ladybugnine]

Is it just me, that I don't hate any team yet? Or is it too soon?

[nilyank]

Danny took them the wrong way. Serves them right. 

Looking at you Amber

[Browncoat]

Sunny and Bizzy, the way you grabbed that clue was just a little rude.

[Ladybugnine]

Woah, look at Sunny and Bizzy in second place!

[MerBearHou]

Please someone else win for once.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Angie doing the Roadblock again?

Don’tcha know — it’s strategic!!  Not cool, Danny.

How did they not realize this was going to be  a physical RB?

[Good Queen Jane]

Is Danny trying to kill his mother?

I know she can drive, but that seems to be all she can handle. Did she honestly think she had a shot to be competitive in the Race?

It wasn't just that she was drenched with sweat. This wasn't even a physical challenge and she had to sit down and wanted to take a penalty.

To be fair, she has to do some roadblocks, and she doesn't appear to have any strengths at all.

[Browncoat]

Oh, hey, more working together!

[Lantern7]

You think the soccer players get fined for trying to kill Angie?

Ricky & Cesar earn their high placements.

I dig the buzzer/mooing sound effects.

It’s bad enough when they follow each other. Danny looked like he was leading a field trip. “Okay, everyone follow me! Stay together! We’re changing detours, so come on everybody!”

But standing next to an opponent and just giving them the solution to the puzzle should get a four-hour penalty. 

[Quilt Fairy]

Is no one going to dust for clues? I'm so disappointed.

And another one for the beef.

Maybe Derek & Shelisa, before they get sent home?

Maybe the retired cops will.

Yeah but it doesn't. And I called it. Danny helping everyone paid off when Angie finally had to do a Roadblock because Amber wanted to help her.

[MerBearHou]

And more BS that Danny and his crew can just dominate the beef stations and not let anyone else work on theirs.  I’m getting very cranky about this “helping”

Man, I really HATE all these group roadblocks. What a pathetic season!

If it's not against the rules you've got to hand it to him for taking advantage of the loopholes. 

[Lantern7]

The cooperation has to stop. At least prevent teams from helping out with answers/solutions.

Hey, at least this is less aggravating than Survivor.

[Good Queen Jane]

They’re right. This is torture!

Maybe, but I don't have to like it, or be happy about it.

[Lantern7]

At least Danny knows this isn’t a good plan.

Vinny with the title quote.

[nilyank]

The ladies should go switch 

[Lantern7]

I’m surprised Angie didn’t grab Danny by the earlobe.

[Browncoat]

Mean Girls on Amazing Race.  

OF COURSE they're following you, Danny.  You said they could!

[Lantern7]

I wouldn’t go that far.

Looks like Derek & Shelisa got directed to the Pit Stop.

[nilyank]

Damn.

[MerBearHou]

I am so fond of Derek and Shalisa.  So sorry to see them go.

The way Danny and the alliance just flat out lied and shut the others out?  That's mean girl behavior to me.

Once again, this is better than watching Survivor, though I understand the frustration.

Oh, joy, more Amber/Vinny quarreling next week.

Edited April 18 by Lantern7

[Browncoat]

I hated this episode, despite some good activities.  Here's hoping next week is better.

[dancingdreamer]

That was some mega leg. I'm surprised  the alliances are allowed  to literally help do the puzzles and chat with their  alliance, at one time that wouldn't  have been allowed. Loved bubble football  Danny is one of those guys that just likes to help, he's a good kid, but thank goodness  for Angie ! .
Nice to see another  team come in first.

Derek & Shelisa did well, I loved what she said about the track puzzle.

 

[SHERMDOG]

Dang...I'm going to miss Dertick and Latisha...(sp)..love their banter..sparky but never mean. Sigh

[Artsda]

That was a lot of the alliance helping each other, the doing the puzzle basically was surprisingly there's not a rule . 

[anniebird]

I have always hated when teams work together and gang up on other teams but damn, this season is out of control! I would love to see anyone but Danny and his Gang of Six win. 

[mertensia]

Okay, Bizzy (?) getting checked out of nowhere on the soccer field made me laugh. 

I hate The Amazing Group. Run your own race!

[Lantern7]

Well, that sucked. After the Mine Five ruined TAR32 with their intra-alliance cooperation, I would have figured TAR would have closed all the loopholes, doling out penalties for giving away the answers. Apparently, nothing changed after all.

I mean, I get why teams would . . .  um . . . team up, especially with one team winning most of the legs, but it feels like it's against the spirit of the game. You want to help each other out? Fine, but once you figure out a solution, you'd best  leave the general area. And it's a shame that Danny is a big part of it because I can relate to the guy more than the other Racers. I'm guessing that he noticed that the rules still permitted cooperation, and he ran with it. I'm hoping Angie has enough in her to grab her son by the ear when he tries to help one team too many. I'm also hoping Angie survives, period. I'm not hating Danny for putting her into less than ideal Roadblock situations, but he needs to learn when to run his own race.

Mega Leg was exhausting. The ninety minute format worked tonight, even when it became obvious that Derek & Shelisa were toast. Bumper Soccer looked especially brutal . . .  like the players got paid for each debilitating hit they'd lay out on Racers.
