I agree, I think that going to a country where the racers speak the language is just good luck. But to make a task based on language skills is really unfair when one team is fluent. Especially in China, Chinese is a very difficult language to learn, I now live in my city's chinatown, and have worked with cantonese speaking people for 20 years and I have learned only a few phrases and words.

I loved Kisha's comment "We're black not chinese!" Could you imagine the meltdown that Jamie would have had if they would have had to do this task.
Kudos to the sistuhs for getting that task done. They must have given them a bit of leeway in pronunciation.

And agree pinkdolphin, they should have an equalizing sign language task roadblock in the final leg. And to make it fair a cheerleading routine or a bad haircoloring challenge for a detour to give the redheads some advantage.

I don't agree dying clown (love your new avatar..hilarious). I think there is little language advantage with the traveling. They were tied at the mat last episode, you can still end up with a bad cab driver and someone else has english speaking driver who is more efficient.
Have you ever tried to speak chinese or listened to the pronuciations? T/V are very very correct that the smallest difference in intonation means something completely different. T/V were extremely lucky to have that task.

Will someone please explain how Bob came to named Bob.

My guess is that people are making fun of Luke's pronunciation of mom.
