The blondes really lost it, in the emotional, and then the Philimination sense, so I'm not sorry to see them go. (I hope they can patch up their friendship, though.)
Ronald is one stubborn dude, isn't he? Christina seems to be managing him better.
I absolutely adore Nicolas and Donald (grandson and grampa). How smart and resourceful is it, when you realize that you've been counting in stuff that you shouldn't, to finish the count and go back and uncount from that total AND GET IT RIGHT?
ARGH I can't believe I forgot about TAR AGAIN! I was looking forward to seeing the Blondes losing it. And I was home moping. I could have totally watched it and I'm sure it would have brightened my mood.
I'm really bummed I missed last week's because it sounds like the U-Turn dealie was a pretty big deal. Anyone want to fill me in on exactly what went down?

I'm pretty impressed with both of those teams.
Actually, at this point, I like a lot of the teams (including the Goths and TK and Rachel)! Team Trainwreck, OTOH, can't crash and burn soon enough for me. I hate the couples that just yell at each other.

Oh, um, the blondes thought they were in second-to-last (they weren't), and one of them pushed to U-Turn what's their names, who the blondes thought they saw coming up behind them (it wasn't them). At the time, I don't think it seemed like such a steamroller, but I guess the other one didn't like the negative reactions of the other teams? I could be wrong about any or all of this.
And what does the U-Turn entail? How is it different from a Yield?

The team that is U-Turned has to complete both Detour tasks. And they don't find out until they have completed one and gone to get the next clue.
So it's actually much more interesting than the Yield where a team is just sitting around for half an hour.
Perzactly. Though I don't recall them showing them actually DOING the second task - just turning around to go do it. But I could be misremembering.

I think they were able to do it pretty fast (after the guy figured out that you have to stand in the water to get the gold effectively) and they were remarkably good natured about it.
