What TAR Hell?

From last night's ad for The Amazing Race:
And! For the first time ever! Will a team actually quit!?
Dude. People. Watch the shows you make ads for.

Well, that's true, but Marshall and Lance quit solely on the injury (or so it seemed). Maybe they mean the team's going to go all-out Survivor Osten on us. Phil waits at the mat. Crickets chirp.

My guess--Adam and Rebecca, and my guess is no, they don't.

(Why is this parallel with the ads for next week's Apprentice, where someone supposedly quits?)

I believe the Pizza Bros quit when Phil came out to their dig site and told them that all the other teams had already made it to the pit stop. Kinda like this season when the two sisters were able to stop their Roadblock because the outcome was moot.

Actually, Lena and Kristy didn't stop their Roadblock. I think Kristy would have kept going all night if she'd been allowed. Phil came out there and eliminated them after seeing that she'd already unsuccessfully unrolled over 100 bales and wasn't planning on stopping, on the off-chance that it was a non-elimination round.

Marshall and Lance, however, were a couple of whiny quitters, and good riddance to 'em.
