[QUOTE=Otto] When is the advice from the “Geniuses” ever any good? They seem more than any other team to go the “put that down, that’s not important” route. My favorite is when they know they’re overthinking a problem but still overthink it anyway, and then say how they’re too smart for the puzzle. Yeah, being too smart for the puzzle is why you’ve been in the basement so many legs. They’re really the only team that it would actively piss me off to have win. I was rooting for Miss USA because they were so hardcore, but with them gone I’ve gone back to my first love, Team [del]Hot Twin Firemen[/del] Southie Boys. [/QUOTE] Hmmm…I can’t actually remember any advice being useful…at least for \*\*other \*\* teams… (Of course, that could be their super secret ‘Genius’ strategy!) I’ll join you on appreciation of the Southie Boys. I like their attitude: always helping others, nice guys, funny, trying very hard. It was adorable when they mentioned they were excited to have thought to wash the map, as now they had shown their worth to the two ‘smarter’ teams (who in my opinion are holding them back.) ---

[QUOTE=Robot Arm] And one of the Junior Birdmen is married to the Birdwoman. Was that common knowledge before last night? [/QUOTE] There was an earlier episode where they called each other honey or some other term of endearment. Then I read about it on the TH website. I do hope they have a second season and tweak the things that are wrong, because it’s potentially such a great show! And I agree with others about the editing, and probably reshooting of scenes here and there. Obviously they have to cut stuff out to air, and you know they just try to up the drama level. Hopefully most of it is really what we see, but who knows. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] The motorolamessages for Air Force and the three-team bunch directed them to cars “next to” the SoL. The BQs were right at the SoL and one of the three-team bunch said they saved time by not going to the SoL. We don’t see how far away exactly the cars are from the SoL but I can see how the three-team bunch would miss the BQs. [/QUOTE] Yeah, but the statue is on a really skinny island in the Seine (I love google maps) and you could easily see both banks from there. No way to tell where the cars were parked, but it seemed to me like the teams should have crossed paths or at least seen each other. > [@](#): > > It’s on their [website](http://www.teamairforce.com/). I hadn’t bothered to visit their website before. Still not sure why the competitors even need websites, or who put them together. Now, does anyone remember which of the Birdmen got in the boat in the swamp in South Carolina? If I was on a three-person team with a married couple, and watched them floating away in a boat knowing they’d just gotten permission to ditch me, I’d be worried. ---
