Border agents went the wrong way in a jeep and think they might be in last place. Vanessa and Ralph are in last place. She's whining, too. Teams move on to another challenge to build a camp for the night. Art and JJ are in 4th place. I like the army guy and his wife, but they're arguing tonight too. Vanessa and her husband get to the campsite finally and see everyone is there and they're all arguing. The army wife is really annoying right now, calling her husband "the most annoying person I know in this freaking universe."

Early in the show, when they were going to the airport, the controversy was that Rachel bumped into Vanessa and her partner gave the finger to at least Vanessa and her partner, but the border agents thought they gave it to them, too (I think....or they were pretending to so they could stir th epot). The border agents also said that the FBI people weren't really school teachers and said they were going to use that to stir the pot, so they told other teams, who were generally dismissive of it. At any rate, in line at the airport, a huge contretemps ensued in which Rachel said to Vanessa, "aren't you like 38 or something?" "Yeah, and I still look younger than you." Blah blah blah... Vanessa said "how could I bump into you when I was ahead of you?" and said that Rachel was bigger than her, anyhow. Rachel took this to mean she was fat, so she got indignant. And then the remarks about how Rachel needs to get a nose job before she gets a boob job.

Building camps: Rachel's partner echoes America by telling her to stop whining. Army people are done, have to go to Phil. KY team is done too. Rachel and Dave are team #1 and have won a trip to COSTA RICA and I'm jealous. It's their 4th win. Bopper and Mark are #2. Border agents ready to leave the campsite now. Ralph and Vanessa and the agents remain at the campsite. Rachel and her partner have finished and are team #4. Vanessa and Ralph are done and will go to Phil. FBI women are still there. Vanessa and Ralph #5. Agents finally done and head to Phil. Will it be non-elimination? They stop to look at elephants. FBI women arrive last. No regrets. It's non-elimination. GOOD! They're still in it

At the mat, Phil said something to Rachel & Brendon and Vanessa & Ralph to the effect -- be nice, should not talk like that to others.

Wow, I think it is time for Art and JJ to go home, they are just acting like tools, not giving a very good impression. They say they are trying to stir the pot but it makes them look like they can't stand the competition to me. And I am getting pretty tired of Vanessa and Ralph too, can't wait to see what Phil says, LOL, he has never told anyone to behave and there have been a lot worse on the show, LOL.

Oh and did it seem to anyone else that the "macho" men wanted to do the marksmanship task, I think that was all ego wanting to prove the could do it better than the other men, hahahahaha, when the other task was much easier.

OMG, Art and JJ just lied to PHIL!!!! They said they were keeping out of the drama, they started some of it. Looks like Phil is mentioning the "rift" and trash talk. And I love that Nary and Jamie stopped to look at the elephants, I have always hated that they don't get a little more time to enjoy where they actually are.

What I don't get is all the Brendon and Rachel hate, Art and JJ followed them in this task at one point in the jeeps. Brendon flipping off ralph was uncalled for, but they have been so horrible to rachel, I don't really blame him, and did anyone catch Brendon yell out to bopper to do the hopping task because it was easier. By point is I don't see Brendon and Rachel going out of their way to be nasty to anyone.

ACK! Double U Turn next week!! Seemed like Rachel and Brendon started the drama this week. And they also lied to Phil.. ignoring it? Uh, no.. Even before the "bump and bird" incident, Rachel tried to mislead Vanessa and Ralph about the time of the flight, which was just silly since it was pretty clear they were all going on the same flight and getting their info from the same source. Glad Nary and Jamie were saved for another leg. That last task definitely was harder for them since they are both woman AND not tall. The two all male teams had an advantage. I suspect they had to only show highlights there since I suspect at least someone didn't have everything right in detail inside the tent but they just showed one team not having water in their camp shower. Loved all the animals and scenery.

Rachel and Dave won the EP at the end of Leg 1. In Leg 3, after trying the first option of the Detour, Rachel and Dave chose to skip the Detour and proceed to the Road Block task. 2 Leg 3 Road Block Penalty: The Road Block task for leg 3 consisted of one team member mastering some dance moves with a bottle balanced on his or her head. There was a finite # of bottles and if all broke, the team went to the Pit Stop and had to endure a two hour penalty. Rachel and Dave, after using their Express Pass to abandon and skip the Detour (they didn't even try the second option), incurred the penalty. They arrived in second place. At about 30 minutes, Brendon and Rachel arrived and moved into second place, and Joey and Danny moved into third place. Bopper and Mark, Nary and Jamie arrived with just seconds to go on the penalty, taking fourth and fifth. Rachel and Dave and Rachel then got sixth place. Phil told them that they are the first team in Race history to not finish any challenge on a leg and stayed in the race. 3 Non Elimination Leg. Leg 4 was an NEL, thus saving Mark and Bopper, who came in last. The will have to perform a Speed Bump task in Leg 5. Leg 7 was an NEL, thus saving Nary and Jamie, who came in last. They will have to preform a Speed Bump task in Leg 8. 4 SPEED BUMP - A task that must be performed only by the last place team on the next leg after they come in last during a NEL. Mark and Bopper were last in NEL in the fourth leg, so will have to perform a Speed Bump in Leg 5. In Leg 5 in Bavaria, before starting the detour task, Art and Bopper had to complete a yodelling task for their Speed Bump penalty. Nary and Jamie were last in Leg 7, which was NEL, and thus they will have to complete a Speed Bump in Leg 8. 5 At the end of Leg 4, Art and JJ came over and told Bopper that they would split the $10k they won with him (no details on amounts) for his daughter. They also said they would be friends for life. THEN they found out it was NEL and the four hugged again. Phil joked tht Art and JJ would have to be careful. Bopper said he would return the favor.

With all due respect, since Brenchel bumpped into the other team from behind, after Rachel told Brendon to run (so they could get ahead in the line to get on the plane), his flipping the bird was just adding to the crappiness of their team, not others.. IMO. Phil mentioned the trash talking to the three teams but most certainly didn't tell them to get along. And I find it hard to believe that Brendon was being totally altruistic in giving Mark and Bopper the info on the detour.. I think he sees them as less competition than Art and JJ or Dave and Rachel (I think he might be wrong, even though Mark and Bopper look worse on paper). While Brendon may have wanted to help Mark and Boppper I think he more wanted others (as in Vanessa and Ralph, Art and JJ) to lose time.

I thought that Mark and Bopper have been nice to Rachel and Brendon so Brendon was just returning the favor. The border agents were really annoying tonight...whining about R&B following them even when it was obvious that they were all going the same direction no matter what, and it is obvious that they thought they were superior to the Kentucky guys...do they think because the KY guys have southern accents and perhaps less education they aren't as smart? It's just too bad they didn't get lost more than they did!

Yes, I think people help Mark and Bopper because they are viewed as a weak team. I don't doubt that they are well liked, but they are viewed as weak. Rachel can dish it out but can't take it. She was the same on BB. I agree SeaMonkey -- I didn't see Phil tell any of them to get along or be nice. He was just asking about it, commenting that things had gotten heated, prompting them to respond. I still like Art and J&J and am glad the ladies didn't go home.

I agree that Rachel can dish it but can't take it. She's dissed Vanessa too and yet doesn't get the negative response that Vanessa has been getting. I, personally, am proud of Vanessa for not backing down, nor letting Rachel/Brendan intimidate her. She is pretty honest about her feelings and sees Rachel with all her insecurities. I think she is pretty accurate in her assessment of Rachel and if she chooses not to have anything to do with that team, then so what. I don't think I'd be friends with Rachel/Brendan either. It did seem as if I heard Brendan say, several times. to follow the Border Patrol guys. That would get old. My son and I were saying the Border guys need to be able to shake Rachel/Brendan or lead them astray. Maybe the U-turns next week will give them a reprieve.

Have we all forgotten how badly Vanessa taunted Rachel in one of the first legs, where Vanessa went on and on about what Rachel's ^#@^ (and that is not a euphemism for ass) looked like when she was bending over getting watermelons??? That was WAY out of line and sort of set the tone for what is still going on. I think people are helping Mark and Bopper because they are two genuinely likeable guys who are nice to everybody else. I don't think they are seen as a weak team at all. There was some comment tonight about the last task being made for "Kentucky", as though everybody knew "Kentucky" would whiz through it, which they did.

There were some interesting deleted clips for this episode: http://youtu.be/031U-lkJysA - extended clip of the airport fight http://youtu.be/0RZlK4A_nvY - Brendon apologizes to Ralph. Vanessa says he should have done it off-camera. http://youtu.be/gS_8rTelKlQ - JJ threatens Mark/Bopper to pick sides: "either with us or against us". http://youtu.be/KKSbqcXvClI - Nary/Jamie say that they came clean to Brendon/Rachel and Mark/Bopper about their real jobs.

Spear, thanks for bringing those clips over! That shows a whole different side of the story. I wish they had shown Brendon apologizing to Ralph. I thought Vanessa's reaction was uncalled for. Rachel and Brendon helped Mark and Bopper because they're in an alliance with them and with Jamie and Nary. I'm glad that Mark and Bopper stood up to JJ and his threats.

At least twice, just tonight, Rachel and Brendon told their driver to follow the vehicle with Art and JJ. And yes there were times they just started out in the same direction. Mark and Bopper's average performance is in the lower half of teams left, so, yes they probably are perceived as less competitive than Art, JJ, Dave/Rachel (with Brendon and Rachel averaging between those top two and the bottom three. However Mark and Bopper not only have overcome a speed bump but are currently trending up, so they shouldn't be counted out. I think they may be helped for THREE reasons.. seen as less competitive, the daughter needing help and definitely because they are so likeable. Yes, Vanessa was out of line, but we really don't know how that all started.. tonight Rachel tried to low blow because Vanessa is older than she is and Vanessa just turned it back by saying (honestly) that yes I am that age but I look younger than you do. The comment about boob jobs, again low blow. And this is spatting between the two who seem the most out of shape when having to run (yes, Rachel has asthma, I guess, but still they are the two least fit.. I guess Bopper can have some issues but he's older, too. I know tonight, since Brendon and Rachel were clearly one of the leading teams, my wishes were.. if Ralph and Vanessa had been last, then let it be elimination round.. for Nary and Jamie, I was happy it was NEL. As for the double U Turn.. I don't see Mark and Bopper using it. Anyone else, maybe. Art/JJ would use it, Rachel and Brendon would use it, Ralph and Vanessa.. but then it would depend who was behind them. OK.. after that clip, maybe Mark and Bopper would use the U Turn on Art and JJ if they can. And after the last clip.. realized Brendon's hair looks better than when he kept it shaved! Interesting that Rachel kept lying about the bumping but Brendon finally admitted to the bump and flipping the bird.
