Happy with the winners, happy with the runners up, happy for Ana for getting through that water challenge. True, the finale was a bit anticlimactic but many finale episodes are, so nothing new. I'm glad this didn't come down to who had the best taxi driver with access to the toll lanes, etc...

The finale is tonight so I guess we won't have to wait long, but damn did they really need that cliffhanger? The editing can be tricky at times. The broken tile could easily not be a problem or even if it was, they could very well be ahead enough to make up time. I hope it's Alyssa and Josiah in...

And then there were 4. It seems like the detours were far enough from one another that teams really had no clue what their placements were this leg. Josiah and Alyssa seemed shocked to be second. Surely knew they weren't last since the boys were following them before they got lost, but I think...

I did not expect an NEL. It's been a while. I had to go back and re-listen to Phil announcing the pit stop to see if he said "the last team will be eliminated" or "may be eliminated" but turns out he said neither. Smart. I think if he'd said "the last team may be eliminated" I would've...

That I remember, penalties for breaking rules have varied a lot. The only set penalties are for skipping a roadblock (4 hours) and skipping a detour (I think it's 6 hours now, used to be 24 hours way way back). For taking a taxi instead of walking or taking another mode of transportation, the...

I can't even begin to describe how much I despised Jonathan in this episode. Babe, you chose the wrong task! Why did you choose this? This was a big mistake, YOUR mistake. You're making us lose so much time. Not nearly as much time as they probably lost being stuck in that ditch, where Jonathan...

"That's my girl!....and by that I mean my sister" :rofl: I'm finally up to date. Took me a while to catch up. I've had Han and Holden on my "not great but not bad" list. They're both good at tasks that are purely physical but they've had moments where things went really wrong. I can see them...

I'm not lying when I say I might require some of my "use when needed" propranolol after I read this and completely forgot about tomorrow's (aka today in half of the world) date. You got me real good.

I knew Ana and Jonathan had the potential to become annoying. They got the "we swear we don't fight anymore, we totally get along and we're a great team together until things don't go our way then we blow up and take everything way too personally" edit on the first episode. I can't believe some...

I also got 174. ETA: Tried each eye separately. I got: Right eye aka my good eye = 173 Left eye = 172 Tried again with both eyes and got 174 again.

I saw those ads because they are everywhere on Instagram. It says part of the proceeds will go towards the debt, not all. At 10 thousand rubles a piece, if they sell all the tickets Eteri will have a lot of pocket money in one evening.

You don't know what I would say.

So much I want to say to the ISU but if I post it here I'll be permabanned and I don't want that to happen. Of course this decision was announced on Aug 2nd. August 2nd is forever a cursed date for me. I'm disgusted with the ISU. I'm so done with this corrupt organization. I still 100% believe...

They should, but then they're too late. The exception to the rule was never there to begin with, why should it be applied retroactively? Let's be real, if instead of Russia this had been Italy or Ukraine or even Canada, then Rule 353 para 4 most likely WOULD HAVE applied.

All I could find is the statement published on February 9th where they say "For the sake of clarity Rule 353 para 4 in the ISU Special Regulations is not applicable in this case." P.S. The missing comma is not my fault, that's how they wrote it. So, they say that the rule does not apply, but...
