I loved the Charlottetown Conference task. To be honest, I dont remember learning our founding fathers in history.
The girls had the Big Ern death stare at the finish line, even Jon seemed afraid.

Great challenge. Agreed one of the best in the show's history. Awesome way to blend history into popular culture. Real credit to the producers this season.
And I LOVED the competitive stare down of the girls towards Suki and Jinder. Total competitor, all business, loved it.
That being said, anyone else surprised they got beat in a foot race by Suki and Jinder?

I think the Hockey Girls probably went the wrong way to the podium so Suki and Jinder beat them to it. But I'm surprised by it as their car was ahead of Suki and Jinder's car.
The potato mass calculation task looked impossible; people could be stuck there forever. All teams chose the right mussel task because you know you'll be able to finish it, it's just a matter of time.
Down to the finals now and Rob and Ryan are still in it.

I was hoping someone would do the potato weighing task because I wanted to see how it was done.

The potato side of the detour looked much easier, I'm surprised no one tried it. Length x Width x depth x density ( which obviously would have had to be given), all it is is multiplying large numbers together.

Density wouldn't be given I would think. The weight of an average potato, maybe. Our maybe they get a scale to weight a 1' X 1' section. There's your density

I liked the mis direction play Suki and Jinder tried, they are at a huge dis advantage vs the girls and I really don't mind them winning a leg. They did nothing wrong for the girls to be bitter about that is childish. I've alomst had enough of Meghan and they are no longer my favouite, Im hoping for Mickey and Pete now, they have the best outlook on things, nothing gets them down and they seem to have fun all the time, and really good (bad) jokes.

How did the girls come in second? They were in front when S&J tried to send them the wrong way?

Wah wah wah. This is a race for a huge prize.
I would try to redirect the girls too if I could. They are the team to beat and the winner of each leg gets a sweet prize.

THe hockey girls are babies for sure. Seriously, how many legs have you won? And you are going to complain that Jinder and Suki tried to mislead you? People do that on Amazing Race all the time. I want to know how Jinder and Suki were able to catch up to their car and then out-run them. The hockey girls must have screwed up somewhere in between. They screwed up somewhere there on their own.
Plus, the skinnier hockey girl has really come across as a poor-loser/nasty person lately. Hope they lose soon.

I take the opposite view. It's a contest where everyone is trying to win a boatload of money. The hockey girls were just sour grapes because they didn't finish first like usual. I thought they were babies with poor attitudes.

Oh yeah, was wondering if anyone else gets the feeling Ryan and Rob are actually a couple?
I think they are a great team...hoping for either them, Jinder and Suki, or the two long-haired guys to win, but does anyone else get that feeling?

From what I've read (not sure if it's true but reportedly from someone watching), Suhki and Jinder parked a little closer to the mat.

Yes, I think they'll come out on the mat when eliminated. (It looked they had something to say on both non-elim legs)

Hasn't it already been mentioned that they're both gay? They're not a couple but I'm pretty sure it's been referred to.
Rob is a former Mr. Gay Canada.

Last night probably showed more about Mick and Pete than before. Are these two stoners or what? It's one thing to be happy go lucky but an adult chuckling at everything is worrisome.
I am not sure if the questions to the flag challenge are different but if they are the same questions, couldn't the second team just copy what the first team did right by looking?

Don't think it's been mentioned at all yet, either that or I'm oblivious.
When they started dropping the hun-bombs last night that all but confirmed it though.

LOL, that's what I picked up on. They've been referring to each other as hun (honey?) for a while now.

Rob & Ryan don't deserve to be there after being spared TWICE while finishing last on non-elimination legs.
I hope the girls win it with Mickey and Pete finishing a close-ish 2nd.

Unfortunately dererving it has nothing to do with success in the race. Lots of teams that deserve to win have gone out within the first couple of weeks. I would argue that Suki and Jinder didn't deserve to make it nearly as far as they did, but there they were in the final 4.
