US TAR is back again, after AXN's Asia version. Our first stop: Ecuador.
1. So, we got tons of teams from previous seasons. To call them "the best of the best" would be an overstatement though. I mean, David and Mary?
2. John Vito and Jill say that Romber have had too much time on TV already. Darling, you have NO IDEA how many people share your sentiment.
3. Uchenna and Joyce: The only winning couple back on the race. Apparently, in vitro hasn't been working so well for them.
4. Whee, watch Romber getting called Rob and Kim :D And then the "You have your own cable channel" comment :D
5. Whee, watch Kevin and Drew (you guys were the best!)_calling Ecuador "Peru" :D
6. Overnight stop at a restaurant. What's up with that?
7. Cotopaxi National Park. Watch the detour go quickly... Choice: search in field for uniform pieces or clip a horse's toenails. Not surprisingly, everyone completed the latter. (The detour went by so fast, we didn't even get to see the frats try it out.)
8. JVJ: first on the first flight, last at the pit stop (mostly because they took the wrong entrace to the park). The only consolation I get is that the frats (right in front of them) weren't eliminated first. And that they complained that Romber have had enough.
9. It's scant consolation though, considering that Romber finished first. This is despite switching detours to boot.
10. Also, let's see if that bum knee will affect K&D in the long run. It probably will, it's just a matter of time.
Treasure Hunters. Finally, they show the conclusion of the leg from week before last. Man, it's been that long.
1. First, a trip to some safe house. After some searching through quilts and smashing drinking gourds later, teams finally found a piece of cloth saying "This bears reflection" and some theater in Charleston as their next destination.
2. All the teams ended up staying as a trio, except for the Browns, who did not have a choice because of their hobbled teammate. They ended up getting a 6 hour penalty, with their next clue being delivered through their cell phone.
3. Charleston theater had teams spending a lot of time trying to figure out how the mirrors related to the clue. Eventually it turned out to involve fogging the mirror. Meanwhile, Genworth had some photoshop fun with the number tag on one of the chairs: "Mist half covers the symbol."
4. Fogging the mirror revealed Fort Pulaski as the next destination, with their next clue hidden in plain sight, in the knobs at the top of some flagpoles.
5. Finally, teams dug like nuts to find a death mask. Geniuses dug all the way until morning, but still found their mask before the Browns even got to Pulaski. Browns felt they've let the Brown name down. Hey, blame your big-ass penalty.
