There could be roadblocks in furture episodes, but I did read that there will be less "non-elimination" weeks.
Jumping in late as I just got around to watching it today on DVR (and I'm now reading this thread because I didn't want to read any spoilers earlier)
Phil said at the beginning there are 7 elimination pitstops, that means 6 non-elimination pitstops if they go the normal 13 pitstops.
So far I'm rooting for team Pink, the guy and 3 daughters, and the guy and his 3 son in laws. (we need team names stat!) Sorry to see the Black family leave so soon as I really wanted the Paolos to get whacked. Their kids have no respect for their mother and I think they learned it fromdad...what a crappy family.
Can't wait till next week.
BTW: Does this seem like a USA Race to anybody? Usually the team are out of the country by now. Next week Gettysburgh.
