I couldn't believe how many of the times didn't think of using a computer to find the location of the clue. It seemed like there was an awful lot of random wandering going on.

(And I'm a little surprised at this--if they struggled physically the first time they played, why the heck did they think they'd do any better the second time around?!)

Yeh, especially Mel and Mike... geez, I thought we were going to see our first Amazing Race heart attack victim. Ya gotta wonder if they have enough to make it the whole way.

I do like that this season there have been a couple times already they've had places to find that were not just gimmes. But you're right, a lot of wandering... especially the cowboys, they just kept walking around in a fog not even asking people. I like them a lot, but I have to agree with Ryan that they don't seem like the sharpest crayons in the box (umm, how could they not get that flag thing?) Heck if I was racing for a million bucks and needed to know where something in town was, I'd be finding a computer or asking every single person I ran into until I found somebody who knew!

I think some of the teams had a preconceived notion of what the clue meant. You know this happens in letterboxing too. They thought it might be a boat rental place or sailing school or something so they were wandering around the marina area. Luckily they ran into the folks at the maritime museum who pointed them in the right direction
