One of the BEST episodes I have seen. TAR9 is slowly climbing up to my fave seasons list!

The Roadblock was very good and one of the most creative challenge. It was a bit easy, but the "offering to the monkeys" theme makes it unique to Thailand. And those monkeys are fun but scary. I don't think I'll get close to them. It was funny too how they can't wait for the food to be brought to them. It made the RB harder for the teams. Cheesy

The Detours were great as well. Both incorporated the local culture of the place. I don't think I can do the Pottery Detour. It looks tough, and I'm not so sure about my balancing skills. The Buddha Detour looks easy but takes a while to finish.

The Fast Forward was fun. But the amount was too much! 1 bowl per person? I really though the Hippies were going to quit and get eliminated!

BJ/Tyler - ~~first to last~~ last to first!!! AWESOME! I kind of knew that they can catch up to the other teams in Thailand because the flights landed at night, and of course the Lopburi temple won't be open at night! I was nervous though about them missing the midnight bus, but good thing they caught up! I hope they win!

Eric/Jeremy - once again they played smart. First to finish the RB, learned from their mistake in the last leg and did the not-physical Detour. They deserve their finish.

Ray/Yolanda - I like them! Smart move on leaving the FF early. It helped them catch up with the others, and in the end edging out MoJo! I was jumping up and down and clapping my hands when they were shown arriving 3rd at the Pit Stop. That was one exciting finish!

MoJo - It was smart of them to do the other Detour. When you're last, do the other Detour! What did them in was sleeping in a hotel rather at the bus station to Lopburi. They didn't catch the Hippies' bus that could have saved them. But they're gone, so bye bye!!!

MOJO's Mistakes -

1. Listenening to the foreign guy that put them 5 hours behind.
2. changing detours before they even started.

Great episode, bad outcome. I would have loved to see MoJo in the Final 3 with Frats and Hipsters as my other favorite teams left. RaYo is not competitive, and boring, but they are okay I guess.

What was funny was when BJ was begging for money and that lady was "take it off, take it off", then saw what was under, and said "put it on, put it on". Haha.

The star of the show was the monkeys climbing all over Eric and the cluebox and stealing all the food. That was funny stuff. Actually the detours and roadblocks were pretty well thought out for this leg. They were different and fun to watch. That food plate thing definitely looked hard to make. The gold leafing thing I hadn't seen done before, and that pottery thing was good to watch too. I think Joseph/Monica shouldn't have worn their backpacks on the second go around because that obviously hindered Monica I think. Joseph was pretty strong to carry that many pots though.

And darn, that was a whole bowlful of crickets, aint it? I definitely couldn't have done that. Right on for the Hipsters! Hipsters and Frats at the top of the pack again. Yes Yes!

Last night was one of the best episodes ever. My favorite team came in first and my least favorite team came in last. Wink

And.. BJ/Tyler broke the curse!!! (Lisa/Joni don't count, they were eliminated too early) No more 6th-4th place for me.

That FF (not rb, thanks Jupiter lol) was sickening... my computer teacher was talking about it today. There's a girl from Thailand in my class. He asked if she had ever ate any of those crickets and grasshoppers and she said she doesn't like them. lol.

LOL I loved this episode!TAR9 is also one of my fave seasons JP!So many likable teams and exciting legs!
I was so happy Ray/Yolanda made Final 3 my fave team!Woah, that made me scared when they stopped her to put on that shirt lol.Then she was like "I like this, I hope I can keep it!"LOL
I also agree there was WAY TOO much food in the bowl for the Fast Forward.Well, this season must be the season with the least different teams winning a 1st place finish lol.It is now 4, right?

I loved the challenges in this leg, but I dislike the outcome. MoJo gone.................. Cry

I really thought they would be in the Final Three and win the whole thing, but sigh... Oh, I think Joseph was really encouraging during the Detour. I expected him to rail at Monica but he was there comforting her. Which makes me all the more sad that they're gone.

i'm so glad that the FRATS, HIPPES 'n RAYO enter the FINAL 3. they are all deserving. and i think, it will be a close fight between them and it will be much exciting if it will be a foot race to the finish.

one the best seasons of the AMAZING RACE.
