I think there was fault on both sides in the confrontations. I think that the initial confrontation between Luke and Jen was a bit of an accident, caused in part by the fact that Luke is a bit physically awkward and throws his body round a lot, a bit like a young child. I don't think there was necessarily any ill intent in it. But this instantly sparked animosity between the two teams that just burned and burned all the time.

Once things got to the mat both teams wanted to let stuff out. I don't think Kesha and Jen were necessarily laughing at Luke's mannerisms so much as at the situation, although I do think there was a bit of gamesmanship. I think Margie was overly sensitive by latching on to this as being laughing at Luke's deafness, but she then inflamed things by bringing race into it which I think was unwise.

Overall I think no-one was initially to blame but it didn't reflect that well on either team how they allowed things to develop.

On other matters - they must have changed the rules about a 12-hr pitstop, as these guys seemed to start about 24 hours after they finished. If they had started 12 hrs afterwards it would have been nighttime, and might have allowed the boys to catch up. I also noticed that in the next episode they seemed to start 24hrs rather than 12hrs after they arrived.

I did find Team Firecrotch's comments about the cormorants funny - that it was so clever to have trained the cormorants not to swallow the fish. Uh, didn't they notice the choking rings around the cormorant's necks? There was no way anything bigger than a fish finger was going down those throats.

As for Victor and Tammy - I don't know if you noticed but they speak chinese! Mind you they really needed to speak cormorant as their mandarin didn't seem to help their bird to behave.

Funniest editing moments would be juxtaposing Team Firecrotch going on about how their cheerleading background meant they were experts at picking up choreography - interspersed with them continually getting gonged. Do we add the cheerleaders who can't learn a routine to the likes of the river guide who can't row a boat and the archer who can't shoot an arrow in the Reality Hall of Shame?
