1. At the beginning of the episode, we are told that Rob collapsed from “heat exhaustion”. Yeah, sure. What really happened to him?

He and Kimberly spent too much time "frolicking" in the sauna at the last pit stop.

2. In confessional, Sarah tells us that she is learning more about Peter and that there are wonderful things about him as well as disappointing things. What wonderful thing(s) could she possibly see in Peter? (Or, since it's easier, just some disappointing things.)

The only wonderful thing she could see in Peter is his ability to (eventually) fix her prosthetic leg, so that she can give him a big kick in the buttocks with it. Disappointing? Well, she needs a bigger diary just to write it all down.

3. How come they had to go over to that guy and get dong from him?

Two words: Government requirement.

4. At one point, teams are told to go to a park and listen for their next clue. Dustin and Kandice listen to some crickets. What else did they listen to before they heard the loudspeaker saying “Attention Racers”?

They listened to the echoes inside their heads and tried to decipher the clue from them.

5. In the first episode, we learned that Kimberly doesn’t know the names of any rental car agencies. This week at the Detour, Rob and Kimberly can’t figure out what a junk is. With what other modes of transportation are they unfamiliar?

The gravy train??

6. At the Roadblock, Peter prevented Sarah from hearing the instructions by yelling “encouragement” at her. Later, as Peter was having difficulty rowing the boat, Sarah attempted to give him actual words of encouragement. This annoyed Peter. How ought Sarah to have handled the situation?

Push Peter overboard and do the task herself. Wait, that wouldn't work, because she would declare, "I just can't."

7. Again at the Roadblock, Lyn encourages Karlyn by telling her that if she can deliver a baby without anesthetic, she can do this. How many more such references are we going to have to endure?

Given the lack of imagination shown by Team Welfare Mom, I expect to hear many more references each and every episode.

Bonus: Rate how annoyed I am by yet another childbirth comparison on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being ‘not very annoyed at all’ and 10 being ‘so cheesed off I could shriek’.

9 - Very annoyed.

8. What possessed Tom to get out of a boat being dashed on the rocks by wind and current and attempt to physically tow it to another boat?

You got me - I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

9. For the second week in a row, Kimberly has told Rob she doesn't need him to freak out "right now". When would be a good time for him to freak out?

In a romantic hotel room in Sequesterville (hopefully soon).

10. Earlier on, Erwin and Godwin told T-n-T that they owed them one for their help getting to the Hydrofoil. How are they going to pay them back now?

Give them some dong after the race?

Someone explained to him that he is the actual tourist.

2. In confessional, Sarah tells us that she is learning more about Peter and that there are wonderful things about him as well as disappointing things. What wonderful thing(s) could she possibly see in Peter? (Or, since it's easier, just some disappointing things.)

Cue the crickets. Actually, I see him as a good companion to Flo or Colin.

3. How come they had to go over to that guy and get dong from him?

To find out if he was really "happy" to see them.

4. At one point, teams are told to go to a park and listen for their next clue. Dustin and Kandice listen to some crickets. What else did they listen to before they heard the loudspeaker saying “Attention Racers”?

Anything peaceful and relaxing.

6. At the Roadblock, Peter prevented Sarah from hearing the instructions by yelling “encouragement” at her. Later, as Peter was having difficulty rowing the boat, Sarah attempted to give him actual words of encouragement. This annoyed Peter. How ought Sarah to have handled the situation?

She should have encouraged her good foot to give him a kick in the pants.

7. Again at the Roadblock, Lyn encourages Karlyn by telling her that if she can deliver a baby without anesthetic, she can do this. How many more such references are we going to have to endure?

Enough for a really good drinking game.

Bonus: Rate how annoyed I am by yet another childbirth comparison on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being ‘not very annoyed at all’ and 10 being ‘so cheesed off I could shriek’.

That would be about a 20.

9. For the second week in a row, Kimberly has told Rob she doesn't need him to freak out "right now". When would be a good time for him to freak out?

Never.

Wonderful - He cleans her leg.

Disappointing - He doesn't clean her leg well - her leg is leaking fluid... and you do what for a living?

3. How come they had to go over to that guy and get dong from him?

'Cause he's got the dongs, baby, he's got the dongs.

To the rocks rolling around in their heads.

7. Again at the Roadblock, Lyn encourages Karlyn by telling her that if she can deliver a baby without anesthetic, she can do this. How many more such references are we going to have to endure?

Until the day they die.

15 - "I'm going to reach through my TV and strangle the beotches, then smash my TV and then travel down to Alabama and personally kick their a$$es from one end of their trailer to the other and then make an anonymous tip about a couple of ladies engaging in welfare fraud."

Steal Dusty & Kandass's crowns and vaseline

Be warned: I answer before reading the stinging stuff written by other Hawkeyers. My answers are works of fiction and any similarity between them and real answers are entirely coincidental.

1. At the beginning of the episode, we are told that Rob collapsed from “heat exhaustion”. Yeah, sure. What really happened to him?
He collapsed from Kim exhaustion. Seriously, he just needed some quiet time in the makeshift infirmary.

2. In confessional, Sarah tells us that she is learning more about Peter and that there are wonderful things about him as well as disappointing things. What wonderful thing(s) could she possibly see in Peter? (Or, since it's easier, just some disappointing things.)
Well, he is tall, handsome and fit. But then, so were TAR4's Reichen and Chip and I didn't particularly like them either.

3. How come they had to go over to that guy and get dong from him?
He's the dong dude, dude.

4. At one point, teams are told to go to a park and listen for their next clue. Dustin and Kandice listen to some crickets. What else did they listen to before they heard the loudspeaker saying “Attention Racers”?
The entire Chicago soundtrack, the wind through their ears and 5 Vietnamese guys debating which of the two American hookers would charge them the most.

5. In the first episode, we learned that Kimberly doesn’t know the names of any rental car agencies. This week at the Detour, Rob and Kimberly can’t figure out what a junk is. With what other modes of transportation are they unfamiliar?
Gondolas, rickshaws, kayaks and Conestoga wagons

6. At the Roadblock, Peter prevented Sarah from hearing the instructions by yelling “encouragement” at her. Later, as Peter was having difficulty rowing the boat, Sarah attempted to give him actual words of encouragement. This annoyed Peter. How ought Sarah to have handled the situation?
I believe someone suggested spitting on another racer. Who was that, anyway?

7. Again at the Roadblock, Lyn encourages Karlyn by telling her that if she can deliver a baby without anesthetic, she can do this. How many more such references are we going to have to endure?
42.5

10. Maybe 11

8. What possessed Tom to get out of a boat being dashed on the rocks by wind and current and attempt to physically tow it to another boat?
Tom, like many others oppressed by Communist and/or hopelessly corrupt governments, thought he could swim to freedom despite incredible danger and nearly insurmountable odds.

9. For the second week in a row, Kimberly has told Rob she doesn't need him to freak out "right now". When would be a good time for him to freak out?
Must. Keep. It. PG-13.

10. Earlier on, Erwin and Godwin told T-n-T that they owed them one for their help getting to the Hydrofoil. How are they going to pay them back now?
They'll save them the best room at Sequesterville.
