Yep, cbs.com has full episodes of Amazing Race up the following day, so not to worry if you missed the show tonight.

9pm was TAR, 10pm was Undercover Boss, CSI Miami is to be shown "at a later date."

I also think it wasn't Vyxsin, she put hers on the bottom shelf. Don't know who it was though, or whether the GT was just mistaken (can never remember their names).

Wow, Kent had a lot of nerve blaming Vyxsin for that 30 minute penalty. He clearly told her, "you read it first." So I rewinded and rewatched. No, he ripped open the clue and read it. While they were scampering around for the taxi, he had the clue in his hands most of the time. The only time I saw it in Vyxsin's hand was briefly, when they were riding in the taxi.

Then he tells her, "you should have read it more closely." Uh Kent, YOU are the one who read it. And I'm half wondering if he knew about what the clue said, and just hoped they wouldn't get caught. While Vyxsin looked shocked at the news, he just looked....caught.

And then to go on and on about her "usual negative energy," when if she hadn't been literally dragging his whiney little ass around the last few legs, they would have been Philiminated a heck of a lot sooner.

On a lighter note, I had to LOL at Kisha/Jen when they had the same thought I did in the rescue thing; to snag the clue from the guy in the crevasse and leave him down there.

Also had to LOL at Mallory vigorously shoveling snow directly into Gary's face. And at both G/M and Z/J for pulling the legs off their dummies. Good thing they didn't use live "victims" on that one!

In case some of you missed some interesting dialogue I well enter it here.

Kent: "Vyxsin, put yours in the oven like the other ones anre doing!"

Kent: "Vyxsin, put it in the oven like the other ones are doing!"

Vyxsin: "It's not an oven."

Kent: "Vyxsin, put it in the oven like the other ones are doing!"

Kent: "Vyxsin, put it in the oven like the other ones are doing!"

Vyxsin: "Shut up Kent!"

Not sorry to see Kent go. It was painful watching him.

It may not be a popular view but I like Mallory. As the expression goes "I want to have what she's having!". She has a lot of fun.

I don't know why it took them either of the two teams doing the search task to figure out that you had to figure out what direction the body is laying and then make two separate holes to "connect the dots." I'm assuming the adverse conditions probably affecting their thinking abilitise. Both Mallory and Zev were useless at that task.

When Phil told Kent & Vyxsin they were eliminated, didn't one of them say something like Mallory (and Gary) took a taxi too? They were trying to get M&G in trouble too. Earlier it did show M&G talking about getting a taxi, but then they noticed instructions were to go on foot.

I think they were hoping that Gary and Mallory took a taxi...it was inconceivable to them that nobody else would make the same mistake.

No loss to see them go...Kent was just not enjoyable to watch these last few episodes (and they started out with such good spirits in the earlier episodes) and they obviously annoyed the producers too, because they weren't given a flattering edit...LOL! He looked kind of scary when he was being lowered into the crevasse...those big blue eyes looked like dead fish eyes (were they perhaps contacts?). I did have to laugh though when he made the crack about being rescued by a goth and the guy telling him to go away...he'll wait for the next one.

IIRC, when G/M were walking up to the Pit Stop, Kent snarked at Vxysin something like, "maybe they took a taxi too." If he said anything at the Pit Stop itself to Phil, then I missed it. Probably cause by then I was way over him, and blocked him out.

They started out so likeable. Then Kent just turned into (as Vyxsin put it) a big girl. His voice was so annoying by the end of yesterday's episode, I was thrilled they were eliminated. Can't wait to read the post-race interview. I'm hoping they're not together any longer.

Didn't somebody here way upthread say they were on a plane with K&V not so long ago? Together some place anyways. That would seem to indicate they're still a couple.

Kent was hard to watch at times, but when he isn't under stress, he is ok. There were plenty of times that he was kind and complimentary to Vyxsin.

He does behave very immaturely quite a bit though.

I'm SO glad Zev and Justin are still in the race!

Jimmer, ITA about Mallory.

As soon as I saw that first interview scene with K&V, I thought "I bet they get eliminated this ep." They seemed extra made up and her hair seemed extra clean.

And sure enough, they are gone!

I'm worried about the GTs. Big Easy is not the greatest at Road blocks.

I noticed in last night's episode that Mallory wasn't wearing any (or hardly) makeup - I thought she looked so pretty. (It was in the candy-making scene...perhaps her makeup had worn off after getting snow blowing in her face for however long).

I also like Mallory. She's annoying, but only because she's so "out-there" about being enthusiastic. She is genuinely appreciative of the race and being with her dad. I'd much rather see that than people pouting, complaining and arguing with their partners.

I was most bothered by Kent's mocking of one of the GTs. His final "word" comment and gesture seemed very inappropriate if I was interpreting it correctly. Glad they are gone. I'd be happy with any of the final teams winning.

I like her dad, too, they seem to have a really great relationship!

Kent is a poseur. I don't think either of the GTs would be seriously threatened by him. Big Easy could have probably picked him up by the straps of his wifebeater and let him dangle in the air if he had gotten too gangsta on him...LOL!

It didn't appear that either avalance rescue team used those long white sticks as intended. You're suppose to poke them into the snow to find the body so that you can tell how it's positioned, where it's at, so you're digging at the right spot. Digging in that frozen snow is hard -- not the right task to pick.

There is really nothing to dislike about Mallory, she just has the annoying cheerleader 'up with people' type of enthusiasm. Her dad seems like a great guy.

I like both Mallory and her father. But she can be a tad overwhelming. However, I will take her overwhelming enthusiasm over Kent's whining any day of the week.

I actually like the final four teams (which is unusual since only once since the race started did I like the final three teams). As much as I would love for Justin/Zev to win it all, I have no problem with any of the other teams winning.

I wonder why in the candy gnome detour they didn't label their molds or assign shelves to each contestant. I didn't like the GT blaming Vyxsyn for taking their mold. The only time I saw Vyxsyn near the fridge was when she placed her first mold in there. She definitely took a lot longer to do that than other teams.
