Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am still happy to eat a fondue portion of my choice!

I just couldn't believe Justin and Zev eating all the damn bread.

I was so worried for the Globetrotters at the end there. Seemed like some fatigue taking hold. Sorry to see the cowboys go, but I am glad that the u-turn wasn't actually the deciding factor.

Really badly designed leg overall though. One challenge where a mistake meant riding an extra 40 some k? The cowboys may one of the only teams in any season who could make that up, and good on them for doing it. But then the u-turn at the very end, coupled with quite lengthy tasks, would have put basically any u-turned team entirely out of it. I guess that's why they made it a double, but come on.

I was actually afraid Gary and Mallory were about to have the Killer Fatigue when he said at the very beginning that they hadn't slept in 36 hours. Yikes! I don't know how anyone does anything that requires any thought like that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My Tivo cut TAR off halfway before the first commercial break! Must have been a problem with the broadcast because it taped Next Great Restaurant (in the same timeslot) just fine. Grrr.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, they did brain stuff after having fatigue, so good on them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am bummed about the cowboys, and I didn't know what to make of the mean guys edit they were getting; it seems like any antipathy they were feeling from the other teams was mostly just because of their strength. But he really did mess himself up by ditching Gary, because had he been standing there together, and gotten his answer wrong, he probably could have gotten the correct answer from Gary.

I really thought for a bit that the Globetrotters were going to get dinged for not going all the way back, because I thought that's how the instructions read. Like you had to do the next 40km before your next guess.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Cereal: I love cheese fondue! I would have rocked that challenge! Even though I would have had to eat all the cheese for Dave. But it is heavy, and boozy, and I could definitely see getting sick off it. I think speed is your friend there, because fondue always seems fine, right up until it isn't. At 45 minutes plus, there was definitely enough time for the stomach to be firing desperation signals up at them.

The Globetrotter hadn't seen Marco when he asked the other teams for their number, so he was okay. If he had run across the teams after giving the guy the wrong number, he would have had to do the whole 44 kms again.

ETA: As for the fondue challenge, the fact that they were using bread to scoop up the cheese added to the stuffed full feeling. They should have asked for a spoon and just treated it like soup.

Oh, I missed that. I thought he'd already checked.
