I'M IN THE MOTHERBOARD NOW: When all the teams but one take the same option in a Roadblock, that dissident team can make up a lot of time on The Detour Less Traveled. Or they can completely screw it up in several obvious ways and make clear why the other teams were all wise to take the other option, making clear that Independence in the race (Độc Lập, of course) is overrated.

The real thing to talk about here -- other than whatever we've learned about the teams in this low-strategery, high-execution episode -- is what felt like some pretty lax application of the rules during the roadblock challenge. As I understood the rules, Lance Smash! should not have worked in a challenge that called for surgery, not Gallagher. Once you're done watching this on your VCRs, we can talk.

Fienberg: "I'm at a loss. Were there exciting things in this episode that I missed? Or was it a real dud of a follow-up to an exciting two-part premiere?"
