Slap India again? There are other countries in that region, y'know. Some of those are safe for Americans. A number haven't been visited yet. And still we keep winding up back here...

No hand movement But for best results, the driving test should have been conducted under actual combat conditions: a thousand cars around you piloted by people who flunked their driving test, all changing lanes with no warning, moving over the speed limit, and getting ten dollars off their insurance if they kill you. Oh, and the gas pedal should have been hooked up directly to the horn. Just for giggles.

Slap Go ahead, convince me this was a designated NEL when the course was initially plotted out. Yes, this is the part of the race where they tend to show up a lot -- but this still felt suspiciously like a producer's saving throw. (Yes, I know what a saving throw is. And so do you.)

Clap Even in a half-hearted amateur form, it was good to get cricket on an American stage. Next up: the dreaded googly-bowler, also known as The Knuckleball That's Allowed To Bounce And Come In From Behind You. You ain't seen nothing yet...

No hand movement More than one way to get to India and plenty of buses, but it all worked out to 'still can't get through customs' time at most. Still, it technically wasn't a pair of bunch points, so call it a neutral.

Slap Wearing that outfit at the Roadblock for that long in that heat, huh? Must have sounded like a really good plan at the time, at least until the first signs of heatstroke began to set in...
