I do like the guest judge this week.

TAR: I was rooting for the cyclists, now that they're out I'm on Team Eaten By A Shark. The dentists are very good racers and if they win I won't be *too* upset, but I just don't like them as people.
Survivor: YAY BLINDSIDE. BYE BYE JOHN! I want Nadia to win this thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, they are all losing it on TAR.

Camels are a laugh a minute but nobody breaks teams like a (broken) ox.

That was indeed a finish mat surprise by Phil. The Scientists totally earned a second chance by gutting it through what had to be totally grueling exhaustion and near heat-stroke.
They all have a really long plane ride to recover at least. I'm really looking forward to the finale, because all teams do have a real shot, and will have earned it, even the Wrestlers who can be very obnoxious, but at least they're entertaining while doing it.

Yeah, I was wondering if the producers weren't that concerned about heat stroke, muscle fatigue, etc., since it will take so long to get to LA between flight schedules and the actual flight. Because everyone who did that task was hurting. "Borrowing" the dollies was a stroke of genius, though!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I am glad they gave her a chance to recover a bit before hitting her with "you're still racing". Does make me wonder if they will be bunched up on the flight to LA.

I suppose it all depends on how close the teams were to the mat, which you can't really tell from the editing. But the producers do love their bunch points....

I don't think they'll risk another Japan situation on a finale. I expect a bunch up.

Woah, that leg!! That half a leg, I should say. I get the feeling the producers are nostalgic for that season where they made the contestants wrestle alligators and then swim under an iceberg and maybe drive to North Korea. "You guys remember that year we almost killed a bunch of people? Now THAT was good TV!"
