CBS 8/7c - I Want To Be In The Circus, That’s Where I Belong
Teams are clowning around when they learn a traditional Russian circus act, but it’s no joke when multiple teams make a critical error and misread a clue, jeopardizing their positions in the Race

What happened to the Speed Bump?

What happened to the Speed Bump?

I wanna know that too! I assume they did it but edited it out since it was something that took 30 seconds and didn't effect anything? Which should be good reason for them to think about making them harder or putting a different mechanism in place.

I thought it was funny that every male on the show was a jerk to their partner tonight, with two exceptions, Michael and Gary. I also thought it was quite poetic that it was Kevin's failure to read the clue despite being requested to do so by his dad, and not Michael's performance in the task which got them eliminated.

I read a rumor that there was a production error on the last leg. That Nick & Vicki did pick the right sheet music, but they judge said they had pick the wrong ones.

[kungfuhippie]

ah, that would explain why they seemed to leaave at virtually the same time as everyone else - when they checked in on the previous leg it appeared, by the gathering darkness, to be quite a bit later than when everyone else had arrived.

I know this might not pertain to the actual show but did anyone see that billboard with Hilary Rhoda on it? Yes I look at very small details that others might not even care about when watching shows which was when Kevin was calling Nick a liar.

I'm really getting tired of these guys not realizing that they have partners who are better racers than them... and appreciating it properly. Chad is ridiculous, period. Nick should watch his language and quit calling Vicki names like "moron." And even Thomas' compliments to Jill are SO understated.

My favs to win now are:
Nat and Kat or Gary and Mallory (does Gary kick a or what? :love that guy)

Nick and Vicki. (for her, mostly, though he has a Colin vibe I kind of enjoy)

The hyper twins. I didn't mind them at first but the chipper is getting to grating on my nerves. Just act normal, just once in a while, PLEASE.

Jill and Thomas and Chad and Steph.

I read this too from Wikipedia:

Nick and Vicki did not face a Speed Bump in Leg 7, despite coming in last place in a non-elimination leg. Following the broadcast of the Leg 7 episode, Nick announced on his personal Facebook profile that their Speed Bump in Leg 7 was waived in compensation for a production error at the Classical Music Detour option in Leg 6; the official had made an erroneous call that caused Nick and Vicki to spend more time at the task than they needed to.

It would have been good if Phil had briefly mentioned the production error.

I think I would have been freaked out if the scary clowns :eek were in my face while performing the plate spinning task.

I agree. If I remember during the first season this happened a lot and they always explained it.
