I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode. It looks like it's getting harder, and that people are getting tired. I hope that the Fogel's have a VERY hard time at it.
I think that they show the daughter, from the Fogel team, just totally done... she's whining, and ready to toss in the towel. Though, show's always try to show something, and it isn't what happens. So, they will get her back in the game if she is ready to quit.
I just hope that the Air Force team comes out on top.

I really hope that there's no pairing up teams again. Team Air Force got the shaft last week, having to stick with the Fogals. I hope that Air Force comes out in the lead on this one
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
Well, the Fogels were probably the only ones who WOULD work with them!
I think that everyone else was stupid. Want to know why? I'm gonna tell ya anyway.
Look at the brain power from the Air Force team! They really think about things... and they move quickly. Wouldn't it be to another teams ADVANTAGE to actually pair up with them? You would think so!!!
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
Yeah, you'd think it would click. Another thing the other teams ought to realize is if they really want the Fogal gone they shouldn't pair them with Air Force! Air Force is strong and smart enough that the Fogals aren't going to drag them down too much and they're sure to stay in this thing.

OMG....shut up Fogel girl! Geez...I would have left her just to have some peace and quiet...for the rest of the game (the WHOLE game)! How annoying can one person be??? The Southie boys were dumbfounded by this gal....well, who wouldnt be!
Well......the CIA won the 30,000 but the actual task isnt over, so it still goes into next week. No teams eliminated this evening.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)
"You might be the toughest little whacker. . .but in my world, you're about as worrisome as a cloudy day." (Dutch Dooley)
In the dark of early dawn, the remaining seven teams received their next communication: To find the fourth clue, they would have to unlock the code that protected America's most secret journey. The search began outside their hotel doors with an old newspaper article written by author Walt Whitman describing the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel in Brooklyn.
Team Miss USA figured out how to enter the tunnel and decided to tip off Ex-CIA since they had been so helpful in the past. While driving to the tunnels, the Brown Family became the first team to guess that this challenge was about the Underground Railroad.
Other teams weren't quite as united. While the Southie Boys bickered, the Geniuses were coming unhinged over Sam's asthma and other medical issues that prevented him from running or moving as fast as the others.
Miss USA made their descent into the murky tunnel where they found a cache of Civil War memorabilia and some words scrawled along the uneven wall. With the words memorized, they left the tunnel, leaving behind a book that they decided wasn't germane to the quest.
The Southie Boys and the Geniuses were next to the cache. When they opened the book, they discovered a clue leading to their next destination: a plantation in Georgetown. When they emerged back into the light of day, Miss USA realized that they'd left something behind and decided to return to the dark depths of the crumbling tunnel.
The Southie Boys headed out to the next location with the inspiring news that the first team to reach the next clue would receive a $30,000 prize. Meanwhile, Miss USA got the clues out of the tunnel, but their mistake put them into fourth place. Because of this, they decided to break their alliance with Ex-CIA.
Ex-CIA and the Fogal Family were fifth and sixth to enter and leave the tunnel. They were both on their way by the time the Brown Family made their initial descent. Knowing they were behind, tge Browns put some pepper in their step as they searched for the clue.
The Southie Boys were first to arrive at Georgetown's Beneventum Plantation where they learned that plantations like that one were departure points for slaves fleeing through the Underground Railroad to freedom. Sometimes, they embroidered maps onto quilts to hide their routes. The teams had to find such a quilt that would lead them though a swamp to a box containing little keys. The Southie Boys were off and running in no time to "follow the drinking gourd" to a hidden key that would unlock a box containing the $30,000.
The other teams were quick to head into the swamp in search of the elusive treasure box. The Brown Family, arriving last, knew they had to make up some time and threw themselves into the hunt with gusto.
The Southie Boys ran into the Fogals and they decided to throw in their lot together. Elsewhere, Miss USA and Air Force also decided to partner up. Forging ahead on their own, Ex-CIA struggled through the harsh terrain until Mark collapsed on the ground, spent and out of breath.
Kayte Fogal was having a meltdown of her own and "couldn't go any farther." The others watched as she cried, whined, and complained. "I don't want to do this anymore!" she shouted hysterically.
Ex-CIA arrived at the "old man" box where a message from Laird informed them that they had reached a critical point: For the next leg of their journey, they would have to board a two-person boat and make the tough decision whether or not to return to pick up the third team member, which would cost them three hours of time.
Crying and on her knees, Kayte begged her parents to cut her loose from the hunt, which caused her mom to burst into tears as dad looked on in distress. Finally, Margie and Brad got on the boat and headed out, leaving their daughter behind.
The Browns struggled through the swamp until Keith tore a leg muscle. A team of medics arrived to put him on a stretcher and carry him out of the swamp. Meanwhile, the two Ex-CIA members who set off by boat returned to collect Todd from the shore. The Geniuses, however, were falling apart at the seams as Sam's asthma threatened to kick in and he struggled to keep up.
Kayte's tears dried up when she saw her parents returning for her. With newfound resolve, Kayte was ready to go on. Air Force also returned to collect their third member, as did Miss USA.
With all the clues assembled, the Southie Boys, Ex-CIA, and Air Force raced toward the box containing the gold with Ex-CIA beating them to the punch. With key in hand, they opened the box, and the treasure was theirs.
Francis and Charles of team Geniuses left Sam behind as they headed out on their boat. With the water gently lapping, they decided that it made more sense for them not to return for their struggling teammate. To be continued...

Kayte Fogel is very annoying. She was on everyones nerves with her constant whining. But, it was a stresser, and some people just can't do those things. (Maybe she should have been praying rather than whining.)
I was SO glad that the ex-CIA team got the $30k, because I did NOT want the Southie Boys getting it. I can't stand 'em. They all three, with those attitudes, remind me of Boston Rob from Survivor. Cocky! Can't stand people who act like that... and I would rather have them leave then the Fogels I know, I can't believe that I've said that either. Also, by them getting the $, and the Air Force team not in the lead, I'm hoping that will get people to see that they aren't the biggest threat, and won't all gang up on 'em.
I liked the little "confrontation" between team Air Force and the southie boys. But, they denied everything. "We aren't all teaming up against you."
I wonder if the geniuses will decide to go back for Sam, or not. They have no idea what's happened with the Browns, so they don't know that they aren't anywhere near them. Will their greed win out in the end, and they dump him? It will be interesting.
I was bummed that we got a "To be continued...." at the end. But, I'm excited about that as well, because it's just one 'extra' week of the show. Can't wait until next week, to find out who's the next team to leave.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
I knew the Browns would get tooled and one would get taken out in an ambulance. If the other two can make it of course they'll ditch the one dude.
I bet the smarties ditch that other kid. It's sad, but they pick on him a lot. True, he's dead weight, but still.
The little Fogal is a drama queen. Man o man, what a whiny little brat. Her parents are just kissing her butt the whole way while she's throwing a tantrum. Hilarious. I hope they are gone soon.
I like the twist on leaving someone behind. Interesting.
It was cool though, how each team came back for their one person left behind.
The Browns, well... the one guy is hurt, and gone... so, they would have to continue on without him. But, the geniuses... they will be the one team who might actually ditch a team mate.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
Initially I thought they could leave someone back just for this leg of the hunt, not the whole thing. Once I realized it I tripped out. Interesting strategy. I thought for sure the Fogals would Fogal the young Fogal, for Foaglin' sure.
Yeah... they should have. Sheesh, the mom is all crying, hysterically, about leaving her daughter behind. It's not like you're leaving her in a war zone, to die.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
And what was the daughter wigging out about, she was losing her mind. I hate these people. I'm not just saying that either, I literally hate these Fogals.
I think that she was just physically feeling worn out... like they all were... but then, she couldn't mentally handle it. It was just too much, and she needed to wig out. She's a nut... but, I would have probably been much the same (simply because of my spinal disease, and all those damn snakes).

The Southie boys were dumbfounded by this gal....well, who wouldnt be!
