sc913 - Sorry it took me a while to respond. Showtime is 8:00 PM where I live, which means the earliest I can respond is 9:00. When I got to the computer, I got caught up editing a couple of my Samurai Shodown fanfics (don’t ask…) and lost track of time…that happens quite a bit with me.
BTW, I didn’t do the spoiler-warning-in-the-header thing because, well…geez, it’s the thread recapping a weekly show, isn’t that obvious? (C’mon, I thought these boards were for those who could think for themselves! 
) Anyway, point noted, will keep for future reference, etc.
Oh yeah, that “poisoned Fast Forward” thing…it nearly happened in the first race. In stage 9, Joe Baldasarre and Bill Bartek won the Fast Forward but were still the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop. However, the team ahead of them (Nancy & Emily Hoyt) completely failed to complete one of the tasks on the leg; they were penalized 24 hours, and Joe and Bill lived to race another day.
Atrael - I started the one big thread for the first two events because…um, well, no one else was. Really. I didn’t mind digging up my thread eveyr week (hint: search for “DKW” and “Amazing Race”…not that I had much of a choice. At any rate, AR seems to have finally caught on here, so consider this thread finished (well, close to finished, anyway). I’ll be taking my recaps to the new place.
