S37.E07: Be One With the Hay LIVE EPISODE CHAT

[susannot]

Carson and Jack's story really shows that you must NEVER give up on the amazing race.

[Lantern7]

I don’t hate Nick & Mike. Pops & Jeff wouldn’t have thrown in the towel if they had to search through the hay. That sucks.

Pops and Jeff would have gotten all 200 kilos of wood in one go.

Nick & Mike are right near the thing and haven't thoroughly looked for it!

Carson & Jack are done in sixth place!

Welcome, Melinda & Erika!  You're team number five!

They would have carried over 100 kilos each on their backs and not needed the cart.

[susannot]

I was thinking the same thing.  Pops and Jeff would have killed that challenge.

[Lantern7]

Next week: More Bulgaria! Another library! Hot coals!

I don’t think the show has done that last part. Should be fun.

[Rodney]

Carson & Jack got very lucky with the Double U-Turn and with Nick & Mike giving up.

Welcome, Carson & Jack!  You're team number six!

OK, I'm trying to figure out the timing of this leg.  If I caught the departure times right, they started out around 12:30 - 1:30 in Dubai, flew to Sophia.  It was daylight when they got their clues, right?   According to Google, it's a 5-6 hour flight, and there's only a 1 hour time difference between the two. They've been in daylight the entire time.  6 hours in the hay field, and it's still daylight.  How does that work???

Phil comes out to greet Nick & Mike.  They're in last place and have been eliminated from the race.

[Good Queen Jane]

Heck, Pops and Jeff would have chopped up the wood themselves before carrying it!

[PaperTree]

Too bad for the bros.

Gamers got very, very lucky.

Weren't all the U-Turn slots taken?

And still would have beaten all the other teams at that task!

Wait, what? They had to go back to the Detour? Didn't they have to drive from there to the Roadblock?

A normal U-Turn is where you have to do both sides of the Detour.

And the yogurt eating is a requirement, not an option.

Actually it is a well deserved reward for completing the task.

Does each team get a fresh sheep?

Yep.  One sheep does not come with an infinite milk supply.

Maybe the Kristy and Lena episode is why they were assigned three stacks?  So they wouldn't be out there all night unrolling all the round bales in the field?

And that still didn't help the Clueless Brothers.

According to the winners of the Australian edition's second season, they had an unaired firewalking task for one side of a Detour with the other half requiring teams to lie on a bed of nails.

The location? Jaipur from TAR Classic, S14, and S35.

insert Indo-European joke here

How did Carson and Jack get so terribly lost?

Maps are apparently their Kryptonite. 

You'd think D&D gamers would be better at reading maps.  Or maybe it was harder to read without any minis on it.

I’m thinking Josiah made a joke about hay fever. It just didn’t make the final cut.

Praise be to the Amazing Editors for that choice.  I've been over his dad jokes for the last 3 episodes.

Okay. I did not know you could milk a sheep!

It would be Girl. Boys don't have milk.

Well...  let's just say that it wouldn't be appropriate to try to make yogurt from ram's "milk".
