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.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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

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.

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.

I'm Team Raja all the way. She has been rocking it from day one. I'll be upset if anyone but her walks away with the crown, and I like Manila and Alexis a lot.
I was sad to see the Cowboys go, too, but I really don't have a huge problem with any of the teams left (which must be a first) so I still have lots of folks left to root for.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I think this edit was because the show is suffering from lack of conflict at this point. Which I realize they don't understand, but I LOVE. PLEASE give me lack of drama, just companionable racers trying to win the race. So I'm pretty much okay with everybody left.
