Top 10 list of "memorable" quotes from TAR 7 Episodes 5 and 6
You get a double shot of quotes this week! Lots of stuff happening, with Gretchen taking a hit on the haid, she and Meredith being stripped almost nekkid (thank God for some decorum, or else the PTC might have had some unlikely supporters, eh? 
), more sniping between Lynn and Rob, a neat bunch of kids, and the bros crashing their vehicle but rallying to send Ray and Deana from first to worst.
And yes, the word for the week is "spelunking".
P.S. I'm glad the bros weren't eliminated. They're much more quotable than Ray or Deana.
Episode 5 quotes:
10. "C'mon, we got some old people to beat here."
Ray, foreshadowing
9. "Spelunking. I just like saying it."
Brian, sounding like Hobbes (not Hobbs of MI, sorry)
8. "You look like Braveheart, dude."
Greg, to Brian, after having spelunked
7. "Hi, Amber! . . . I'm such a fan!"
Lady at the Soweto market who accompanied Rob and Amber to the Pit Stop
6. "Stay out of trouble, don't do drugs. . . ."
Brian, to the kids at the Orlando Children's Home
(Honorary quote: the "YAAAAAY!" the kids gave each of the teams when they entered)
5. "I'm so glad Johannesburg is a real city. I was so afraid it was going to be like chickens and camels and whatever."
Lynn, having enjoyed Kendra's Guide to Africa And Its Over-Breeding Inhabitants; also, a foreshadowing
4. "My pageant training . . . really comes in handy right now."
What?! A quote from Kelly (as she dressed for spelunking)?! I must have the wrong season.
3. "Don't worry; I've been wanting a facelift for a long time."
Gretchen, after she spelanked where she should have spelunked
2. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . . ."
The tribesman (not like yours, Wheezy 
), psyching out Lynn and Alex
...and the Number One quote of TAR 7, Episode 5 is:
1. "I'm asking you to make a decision. Can you do that? Just tell me yes or no."
Rob, to his teammate, showing how she earned the nickname "Lamber"
Episode 6 quotes:
10. "This guy's gonna teach me, because he's like Yoda."
Brian, at the bush Roadblock
9. "Needless to say, I don't think we're going to be getting any Christmas cards from these people."
Rob, going waaaaaaay out on a limb
8. "The bag people come through again."
Meredith
7. "Now I feel super scared . . . This is like Compton . . . Pick someone who looks the least likely to have a gun . . . Oh, yeah, it's Tupac."
Lynn, trying to get out of the "ghetto" (hi Kris) of Jo'burg
6. Two for one here:
"I love to see Rob pissed off. It makes me so happy."
"Lynn's got his head up his ass. He might be able to run Alex like a little farm boy, but he can't treat everybody like that."
And the Lynn-Rob feud continues . . .
5. "Baby, how are you so fast at it?"
Amber referring to things that are not PG-13the water Detour
4. "All I see is Meredith's dust."
"Is that her up there?"
"Meredith is a guy."
Joyce and Uchenna (see also: Hayden, for one)
3. "If {a lion} jumps on me, Kelly, I'm throwing him you."
Ron, showing how he got his heroic qualities
2. "Don't try to go in the deep sand . . . you make the littlest movement, you slide."
Brian, just before he, Greg, and their cameraman crashed
...and the Number One quote of TAR 7, Episode 6 is:
1. "Ow, Ray!"
"Deana."
"The least you could do is apologize."
"It's teamwork, and we don't work as a team. That's a problem."
"You can do it yourself."
A fitting end to Deana and Ray, who ultimately did themselves in
There are plenty of others that I noted but didn't mention; feel free to add your favorites! Corrections welcome also.
IIRC, Soweto wasn't even on most official maps under apartheid.
