Clap Most shows do not break isolation for any reason. Allowing a team to communicate with home in order to check on the health of a loved one is a virtually unprecedented action. All credit for letting it take place.

Clap Physically exhausting leg that took an appropriate toll from the racers. Now we know who's serious about this... Bonus clap for providing water on a draining day where at least one team openly declared they wouldn't be getting food.

Slap There are times when 'to the standards of the judges' becomes a little ridiculous. Where does that peg support go again? How many times did a scale have to be turned because it wasn't oriented on the same axis as the model?

Slap Okay, we have beheld the wonder that is Eastern eggplant. We don't care. Why are we wasting a clue stop on this?
