1. Find someone who speaks Mandarin Chinese.

2. Find someone with dark hair.

3. Find a Chinese woman under 5'6" in height.

Anybody besides kidflash and me think this Speed Bump was a complete joke?

Yeah, it made me wonder why they even bothered to make them do anything at all. It looked like they didn't even have to travel to another location. Blech.

The producers could've at least made Mike and Louie provide their own coins. That way they'd have to find someone to give them change, then hope they succeeded on their tosses before running out of coins.

Definitely the easiest one I have ever seen.

Oh my gravy! What, they had to walk maybe 10 feet to find the bright red rugs with two heaping bowls of coins? So disappointing.

Maybe they should have had to call "heads" or "tails" when the coin landed...


DARN! I intended to add "Pimple" after the Bump in the title...

Awesome list!!!! That was the most lame speed bump in the history of the universe, let alone AR!

1)finding a bowl of white rice
2)finding an abacus
3)looking for the sun


Not that I have an opinion one way or another ;)

At least it wasn't "sit in a sauna for five minutes with an attractive woman."

At least they had to do something this time. Even if it was fairly easy.

Maybe -- but as we found out after the fact on the sauna SB, there were time factors involved: travel to the bus (several minutes), get changed, sit in the sauna, change again, and travel back from the bus -- around twenty minutes when it was all added together. From what the camera was showing, Louie & Michael had to walk about fifty feet.

True, it kind of was right there, but still - they had to do something. Might have taken, say, four or five minutes, sure, and maybe they should have had to spin their heads around on a baseball bad forty times or so before attempting the Speed Bump...OK, starting to hope Bruck actually uses an idea like that one...

That and it beats the hell out of last season's F4 Speed Bump...

Just read the interview with Mike & Louie - even they thought it was ridiculously easy. Seems the producers have two things to work on - lame Speed Bumps and U-Turns that automatically eliminate the U-Turned team.

Were you able to finish the entire interview in one sitting, or did you need to take a nausea break?

I was able not to lose my lunch watching Caite celebrate winning the last leg so I think I can handle anything.


Except them actually winning the whole thing - I'll need therapy.

Last night's final task. Seriously. I could have done that in under a minute, and I'm sure the others could have, too. Brent might have taken a whole two minutes, but other than that...
"Oh, yeah?"

Was Jordan looking at his notes during the memory task? Has that ever been allowed before?
