That was the last non-elim. But with the three hour lead everyone has on them AND the extra task - I fear that unless there is massive bunching or extraordinary bad luck there is just NO WAY the Hippies can make up the time.
When they were at the travel agency I notice that TK AND Rachel both seemed extremely tired.
Yeah, once I saw that they weren't getting Guido/Who'ed, I knew it was non-elim, but more than 3 hours behind AND the Speed Bump is a tough row to hoe. I hope they can come back from all that. A Hippies/Nick & Don/Ron & Christina final three would be the best final three since . . . ever - not one team I'd be sad to see win. And a Don/Nick win? Would be the best win since Chip & Kim. "He's like my bitch." You salty old dog, you. Hee!
Is this the shortest amount of time they've spent in India? Only one task? And they didn't even have to take the train? Boo.
A three-hour bunching is pretty likely, between flights and getting places at night and all that mishegas.
One can only hope.
Christina rocks, Don and Nicholas rock together, I'm even found of Ronald in his irascible and cantankerous and professorial way -- he's so predictable! And TK and Rachel were graceful and sportsmanlike, which is all I would hope to be in their situation.
REALLY loved the shot of Ron offering Don a snack as they waited.
It's a mystery to me why, with all their bickering and thrashing and drama and generally spending all.that.energy. fruitlessly, Nate and Jen haven't been eliminated, let alone just miss out on first place repeatedly. But they've ended up working extra hard, and that should be catching up with them. Feh.

Yeah - there aren't going to be that many flights to Alaska (or wherever), so that three hour lead could disappear before the first commercial break.
Right now I'm rooting for Nick and Don, with a small part of me hoping for Christina to win the Zach Prize For Putting Up With The Most Shit From Her Partner.
Nick and Don have really grown on me - for some reason they didn't grab me at first - and I'd love to see them win. At the end of the day, though, anyone but Nate and Jen is good enough for me.
I went to the CBS website hoping to find a promo for next week's TAR (I because managed to miss it last night) instead I found Phil's Video diary.
Oh! I forgot to mention this, but someone gave us the Amazing Race DVD game for xmas, and we had a blast. Most of it is just a geography quiz, but it's totally Philtastic.
I love that when he says "been" it sounds the same as when he says, "being."

As Jess, said, whatever trans-Pacific route they take is sure to lead to bunching somewhere. Given the distance involved, I was surprised there wasn't bunching on this leg, until I realized that that had to mean non-elimination.

This is true for me as well. Although it bugs a bit that I don't think any of the people left are particularly good racers. I know they are all still there, but still, they don't impress.
Also, I thought the taxi thing was a brilliant task.
