Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

I think what's bothered me the most about the farmers is that they haven't gave a **** about the race, really. This is the first week that they have actually hustled a little bit and they were not nearly as bad.

If this show has taught me anything, it's that the strongest teams don't always continue on. There were a few stronger teams elminated earlier on.

How do you guys feel about the money situation ? I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, because I really don't know. I just think it feels more like you're doing wrong when you're actually taking money. For someone like me, who would never steal anything from anyone, I would be very conflicted about it.. even if it was a shot to get ahead of someone in the race. It was obvious it belonged to them.. you don't just find American money laying on the streets of Bangladesh.

If I had to guess, James and Abba were able to draw so much attention because of the camera crew following them around. Otherwise, are people really going to give money to random Americans ?

I was fully expecting Phil to give a time penalty to the twins for stealing the money. He has penalized teams in the past for tampering with road block items. (I can't remember exactly but someone moved something that another team would need to finish the task). I would think stealing money would result in the same penalty or worse. Can't believe he never mentioned it whatsoever.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

I'm sure something probably happened after the leg was done(like producers told the teams to give back the money,since the money is money from CBS, so they can have a say in what the teams do with money since it's sorta like a loan,except the racers don't have to pay it back)

Was stupid how they were allowed to do that. It's not like the money fell out of their pocket and was randomly on the ground. They left the money at the ticket counter cause they were gonna check something, and the teams stole it.

They committed a clear crime lol

Like many, I can't stand the twins. I don't really like anybody...so I'll pull for the rockers. Oh and that blonde girl selling the drinks made me cringe. SO ANNOYING

Has anyone ever been to a turkish bath before? It looked more painful than relaxing to me. Their skin looked red raw after they were slapping them around. LOL!

A taxi potentially costs yet another team!

I do think that they do get their passports back and are able to check in, before another team, cause it's a 10 hour difference from them, to the team behind them, so I really doubt it'd take over 10 hours to track back down the taxi.

Why did the taxi even drive away? Did they even pay the taxi?

Though it's like they said...never leave your bags in a taxi.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

I was discussing it with my parents, before the end of the show.

I kept thinking, "What happens if two teams arrive at the same time and are both in last place?"

Then I thought again, "Well, what if those two can't get their IDs and check in and the other two teams get to advance".

Then my thoughts were changed again when they pulled a "to be continued" on us and we will have to find out next week.

The show is getting more fun to watch, as we get further in.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

Sucks how James-Abba got eliminated. Probably the worst reason for a team to get eliminated ever. So I guess this means if anyone were to lose their passport in another country, they'd never be able to find it back....

Really hope they get another chance in a diff season, because this wasn't just one of those typical "___ missed the most obvious thing during a challenge" type of thing, it was completely out of their control, and the entire city(including police and even US embassy) couldn't help.

Speaking of US.....that timezone challenge is basically proving how stupid some americans are lol. And non american watching that, is probably laughing at just how stupid they are. They probably don't even know timezones outside of their own country. If it's +4 or whatever it was in Moscow, do they really think it'd be 5 hours ahead in a place not too far from there...)

And regardless of who did go home, this really did seem like the boringest episode of the season. If I didn't see this episode, and just found out who got eliminated, my interest in the episode wouldn't have been much different compared to seeing the episode.

That's pretty harsh, it was just trying to go too quick and overlooking a detail. It's not like we don't have time zones in the US.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

Yeah, It's not as if Americans don't know about time zones. They just rushed into it and made a mistake.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

My DVR cut off before the show ended, so I didn't get to see the conclusion. That's too bad for James and Abba.

The +4 on the map refers to the number of time zones apart from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, as was shown on the TAR Russian map), which is centred in Greenwich, England. Everything is related to the time in England. On a similar map of the United States, New York would be -5, LA would be -8, etc.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

What was up with Josh and Brent stressing over Abbie and Ryan getting u-turned? For a minute there I thought they were gonna forfeit their spot or something lol. I can understand wanting to run a nice and clean race, but damn, you are trying to win some money.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

We still don't know what happens if two teams step on the mat at the same time, on a non elimination leg... damn

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

Of the three remaining teams with a legitimate chance, why are the other two still helping the most obnoxious set of twins that I have ever seen? At what point do you see, "Forget these two morons"?
