5/2 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[Duckyface]

Jet just told the cab driver "muy rapido"

At least he laughed at himself for saying it and commented how it was the only thing he knew besides English, or something along those lines. The racers over the years have used Spanish in the oddest places.

It's too bad the detectives didn't catch on that they shouldn't have paired up with the brothers earlier. They only realized it when they were coming up on the speed bump. I don't know if the brothers would ever have found the garden bridge without following them and I'd have preferred the detectives over the brothers in the finale.

While I've never been a fan of Caite, I never thought she was as whiney and mean as some people thought she was. She changed that for me tonight with the whole "potty episode."

Caite really showed how nasty she is - gives weight to the Lesbians not liking them. Funny how they left that out of her edit til last night.

Oh no.. they've shown Caite to be whiny, rude, and immature every week, but normally it's just been to Brent. I suspect she feels a bit of freedom now that the Lesbians are gone, however. That, and she's getting asked questions over and over again from her cameraman to get on film.

Regardless, it doesn't mean that the Lesbians weren't bitchy, rude, and immature every week, too.

Funny you said this because I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago.

The hippies were respectful to the locals & got along with each other, just like the cowboys.

My two favorite race teams ever, with a slight edge going to the cowboys.

ACK... I hated the hippies... hated their personalities. The world was a joke to them and I always get rubbed the wrong way by people that think they're so funny and cool.

But Jet and Cord have run a great race, and didn't get too down when they came in last that week. They've just plugged along and did each task methodically and with good humor. I hope they win!

Well, in this particular incident I do give her some leeway. If Brent needed to go to the bathroom he should have gone and be done with it, why did Caite need to go with him? Unless of course it is in the rules. Hopefully this comes up in the final leg of the race and while looking for a tree or handy bush both other teams will race past them on to the final pitstop.

It is. During the Detour, both members of the team must be actively working on the task. One of them can't go traipsing about for bathroom breaks or to pick up lunch while the other does the work.

She had no choice but to go with him.

[norealityhere]

Darn!! I had a feeling my least favorite team was going to be in the F3.
Caite needs to get over herself already - the world will know she's not stupid - talk about a self absorbed, immature little brat.
I was very disappointed in the brothers. The comments regarding the taxi driver were just totally uncalled for.
I've loved the cowboys from Day 1. They're kind to 1 another and to others.

What did Caite say on the bus "screw the chinese"?

Thanks, waywryd. Nice to know. Are the rules posted anywhere? Or do mods simply know?

They actually mentioned the rules during that scene - they stated that neither team member can do the challenge on their own. They must do it all together.

[waywyrd]

What norealityhere said. I know those rules were explained on another season, too, but I can't remember which one.

What did Caite say on the bus "screw the chinese"?

She was all proud of herself for figuring out the way to the temple using only a map. I think she said "So people you can all go screw yourselves" to the camera in response to her detractors, the people who think she's dumb.

I never thought she was dumb, but I'm starting to wonder about her foul temperament.

So sorry that I rub you the wrong way b/c I liked the hippies.

I didn't get the impression of them that you did. I also didn't think they were oh-so-funny & cool. I just thought that they seemed to enjoy the race, were good to each other, & didn't disrespect the locals. They just seemed like nice guys.
