Sniff … I’m sorta gonna miss Kayte Fogal …  
[/QUOTE]

I love how she whines when her shoe gets stuck in the mud.  
Lets look at some other teams:  
Grad Students - Completes the stage even though one of then has a BROKEN LEG! Would have gone on but a doctor told them not to.  
Brown Family - Tears up a knee. Pissed off that they can’t finish the hunt as a family.

Also, how stupid does TH think Americans are. Do we REALLY need to hear ever Motorola clue two or three time? :smack:

And am I right that the medallion showed a sailing ship?  
[/QUOTE]

Yes, the medallion had a sailing ship on one side and the Dover Castle clue on the other.

To be fair, they generally don’t show the entire clue more than once. Just enough to establish that each team or group of teams has reached the point of getting it.

[QUOTE=rockle]  
If reality show history is any indicator, probably not. They’re probably going to either give lengthy interviews to reality TV fansites bitching about how it was all editing (like Colin & Christine did over at [TARFlies](http://www.tarflies.com/article.php?_f=detail&id=356) [Part II [here](http://www.tarflies.com/article.php?_f=detail&id=370)]) or else they’re going to go on any other TV show that will have them and bitch about how it was all editing (like Jerri Manthey has done every. single. day. since she’s been on Survivor).

Either way, we’re going to end up wanting to punch them in the neck. So, you know … _not so much_ with the embarrassment, I don’t think.  
[/QUOTE]

But the snob guy on “Top Chef” was embarrassed. And Santino! Even Santino was embarrassed!

That is because Santino’s mother raised him right, obviously. And since Kayte Fogal was on this show _with her mother_ … well, we already know how that turned out, don’t we?

Now, me? I’m _already_ on videotape doing the Time Warp in a _non-matching bra-and-panty combo_, so how much more embarrassment can there possibly be? I’ve already brought all the shame I can upon my family.

See, this is why YouTube was invented. I think you owe it to your fellow dopers to make this public. And if you don’t, I’m sure somebody in your family will.

Hopefully, _nobody_ has that on video.

[/QUOTE]  
To be further fair, they also only repeat the clue after a commercial break. But I think this is one of those things that could use a little more editing/ production design. And I hope they figure it out by the end of the show. From what I read on the players’ forums, there’s a lot of ‘fun’ being left out. I think that would really humanize these teams for me. And they can easily pull the time from these horrible clue repeats.

I’ll have to see if I can find the tape. I know my sister has a copy – but she has promised to keep it in storage until such time as I completely lose my mind and threaten to run for public office. Nothing like blackmail to keep you grounded, you know?

Does anyone know how many episodes are left? How many teams will be in the final leg?

I think there are three episodes left, total. They’re not really clear about this in any of the promos, but I think there will be three teams in the final part of the Hunt.

Thanks! Yeah, I keep hearing them say in the promos something about “Don’t miss the finale!” But then they talk about the next week’s regular episode and I never hear them say when the finale is going to be.

I’m pretty sure that the “Next Week” promo said there were two more episodes before the live finale.

I think the fact that they’ve said there are 7 artifacts and they started with 10 teams indicates they will have 3 teams in the final ep.

I hope you didn’t buy the BeDazzlers special, because my husband put the kibbosh on **Operation Mullet** , but _big-time_. Apparently I am allowed to _be_ a hockey fan (which I _am_) but I’m not allowed to _look_ like one (which is _bullshit_). I had _ **no idea** _ I married a fascist who wanted to oppress me and stifle my creativity, but there you go.
