Phil forgot to say "home of Netfoot" when he made his introductory comments.

Is Fairfield where the market is?

That looks like fun -- but Ricky's opponent seems to be taking it pretty easy on him.

They should play against other teams.

I’m guessing it’s okay for Racers to move forward on the court.

Trying to think of more Rihanna songs. “S&M” kind of applies to Amber & Vinny, yes?

Are they supposed to be standing on the blue part? I noticed the local stayed behind the line.

My thought as well. I’m thinking they get to cheat a little on this one.

Oh, wait, the locals seem to be doing that as well.

Maybe it's like the really really good table tennis players who stand something like three feet from the table vs us poor slobs who stand right up at the table?  The poor slobs get to stand on the blue part?

I guess they would have to for a short shot.

Leticia didn't grow up with a ping pong table in her basement. This is one task I'd feel confident doing.

At least now we know that the show is providing the maps. Too bad they aren’t waterproof.

Or have team members unable to read a map,

Leticia is playing like the Girlfriends sing. She’s gonna be there for a while.

Danny can’t think of Rihanna songs. Of course.

Danny, it was the perfect opportunity to sing something about an UMBRELLA.

Yvonne, he was not serving any wicked serve.

I imagine the locals aren't suppose to go onto the blue Court but it's ok for the Racers.  I guess they would be there all day if the Racers didn't have help.

I think it would be fun if teams were allowed to compete in this tennis game against each other.  The winner gets to move on and the loser has to wait 10 minutes or so.

I think Mama was pulling his leg about not knowing her, then he couldn't name any songs when she drilled him. Danny annoys me, so I love it when Angie gently cuts him down a little.

That was called a Face-to-Face. It didn’t work out.

I found the table tennis place on Google Maps. 

Funny how one of the two military guys called the other one "baby."

Really?  When was that?  And why didn't it work?

This cannot be the first time a team lost its crew.

Millie jumped that train in India and left not only the crew but her partner in Season 4 (I think?).

It’s the 1st time it’s been shown to be relevant. Pre COVID, they used to be in the same vehicle in the passenger seat.

The second that they realized it, they should have stopped and used the walkie talkie immediately.

Talking about song titles . . . anyone else thinking of “Roundabout” by Yes?

They are being a lot less annoying this week than last week.

Saw that and it made me smile for a sec for them — they sure needed a chuckle moment at some point!

If you don't know where you are, stop and ask for directions. That takes less time than wandering around uncertain If you are going the right way.

Short story: they did Face-to-Face at the end of a leg for two seasons years ago. It basically killed momentum, and Phil had to do play-by-play like Jeff Probst. That was before he did that on Tough as Nails, and it wasn’t his strong suit.

Why do they seem to wait so long to ask directions?

As annoying as Vinne & Amber are, they asked the first person they saw.

"Island Time"  LOL
