I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

So! Waiting for Godot interrupted my TAR broadcast. I was as far as chocolate gnomes and Top Chef style shenanigans. What happened?

Zev and Justin started in first, but got behind at the first task. At the roadblock, things got tense between the Globetrotters and the Goths (lots of bitching), and then the Goths did not read the clue carefully and took a cab to the pit stop when they supposed to walk, so Zev and Justin walked right pat them to the mat. Goths are gone.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whoa! That's crazy! But I think I'm good with that. I did not like the racial stuff Kent was pulling when he got pissed at the Globetrotters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that was some kind of bullshit.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
hmm. sounds like it is a good thing I've stopped watching this season (or rather, have a backlog of eps to watch).
maybe to preserve my blood pressure, I'll wait this one out.

Kent was clearly coming unstrung through the episode. He was actually blaming V for not reading the clue correctly... when he'd clearly read it/had it in his hands more than once.
How much trouble Zev and Justin had seems like they started at the wrong end. But that makes Gary's effort look all the more superhuman. (Tho' being a coach he may have had some elementary rescue training?)

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, I couldn't believe they didn't stop to reread the clue - even after seeing other teams leave on foot for the pit stop.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
How much trouble Zev and Justin had seems like they started at the wrong end.
That, and instead of digging in a wide area to determine the angle of the body, they just kept digging straight down even though they hadn't found anything yet, which meant that by the time they were in the right place, they'd packed a ton of snow on top of where they needed to dig. Gary was smarter about it.
I wanted to smack the shit out of Kent last night. I hope the rumors that they were only in a relationship for the purposes of the race are true - Vyx deserves better.

When you're tired, and caught up in the moment, I can believe frain barts are all too easy. Which is why you want to slow down, take a breath, and reread the clue at least twice.
Loved that the editors of the show used a video highlight to show the "on foot" portion of the clue.
