Please keep all discussion of tonight's episode on this thread until the show finishes on time on the West Coast.

Sooner or later they will find something to delay it coast to coast.

Winners of the 1st leg gets an Express Pass which will let them skip over any task that they don't want to do. Also there are only 3 places on the 1st flight out of Logan Airport.

They're driving SmartforTwo cars.

If you check in first get the Express Pass.

Any time before or during a challenge you don't want to complete and get the next clue.

2 flights waiting, first flight only has room for 3 teams, lands 30 minutes earlier

Wow, the middle of the pack way too happy to leave some of the rest of the middle of the pack behind.

Ron and Tony-Wiz Friends

Chad and Stephanie, waiting in line,

Jill and Thomas get the second ticket

Who gets the third one (other team is vollyball??) will be after the break,

Yep, isn't this the relationship going to fast couple.

Why does it seem the quick ones always have some sort of issue. Never seems to happen to the calm and reasoned people to buy a house together when you've only dated a few months.

I was hoping to like this team and expected their athletic background would make them a threat to be the first all female winners. But their snide put downs of other teams has me rooting against them already.

The doctors arrive at Stonehenge first and have to find Eastnore Castle where the next clue is.

Wouldn't the opposite of Noreaster be Southwester? Reversing the syllables doesn't make it the opposite.

I guess it's a good thing Vicki didn't have to figure out "candle-a-bra" from a few seasons back. I imagine she'd have burnt herself.

Vicki (the tattoed chick) had never heard of Stonehenge. Huh? Why do people not know that you have to drive a stick shift on this show?
At Eastnore Castle they have to storm the castle.

Boom, right in the kisser!

The girl who has been doing the watermelons for f.o.r.e.v.e.r, just had one come firing right back at her from the catapult - that was maybe a 50 mph shot right in the face from a watermelon. Ouch. To her credit, she got up after a few minutes and nailed it on the second try.

"RE: TAR 17 Ep. 1 ECST"
Posted by Snidget on 09-26-10 at 09:55 PM
Definitely gets props for being tough, it isn't easy to go back to something where you got walloped like that.

Maybe a few watermelons can knock some sense into a few of the other teams.

I laughed out loud when it happened before the commercial, and then I laughed some more when they showed it again. I laughed so loudly that my husband came to see what I was laughing about.

Is that wrong???

No.

But using a siggie in an ECST is wrong!

I didn't laugh so much at the watermelon "six-pack" (the knights should have been high-fiving!) but the repeated "I can't feel my face" had me in stitches. Sounded like something the south Pacific Survivors would say after too much kava.

Yeah - teams with disproportionate weight were at a disadvantage. I do wonder how they got that lost. You'd think Stonehenge is well known enough that getting directions would be pretty easy.

Well, perhaps they got off the wrong exit and couldn't get back in the right direction right away. After that, things probably went downhill for them.

I don't know, the two skinny nerds had enormous trouble with the challenge, while there were other teams with big guys (such as father-daughter team) who had no trouble at all. If you know how to proportion your weight in something like that, you'll do fine.

As a former canoe/kayak instructor, I was appalled at how some teams just kept trying to stand up in the turtle shell, even after they had tipped over for the 94th time.

Something about the name "Victoria" that inspires dumbness, it seems. First, we had Victoria who somehow saw something half-decent in Jonathan a number of seasons ago, and now Vicki in this installment of TAR.
