I was sorry to see Mel and Mike leave, but I agree with all of you that Mike was wise to get Mel out of the cold. I can't remember exactly when, but Mel had heart surgery several years ago.

And Mike is correct. Mel wasn't about to quit; Mike had to quite for him. And Mike looked awfully cold in that van himself.

How soon can we get Ron and Christina out of there? Whiners much? I used to think it was just him but the apple didn't fall far from the tree did it?

I think R/C camera crew had already sent Phil the heads-up that something was amiss re: the fanny pack, after FT/BE had checked in. Don't think I've ever seen Phil say pph 'Christina, why do you look so sad?'

Phil already had to know there was kink in the works, even if FT/BE camera crew hadn't taken notice. R/C crew had spent quite a bit of film covering the scramble around the rocks/bushes/hut over the pack.

ESPECIALLY with Zev/Justin missing passport being a topic of this race, TAR sure didn't want a repeat!

I feel bad about Mel/Mike, I liked them the last time around. I would have liked to see those short stunt brothers in their place!

Loved Kent's makeup staying on after the mud..lol

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm kind of glad Mike/Mel were eliminated last night. I like them a lot. They're an awesome father/son team. However, Mel had the same issues last time. I think it was a poor decision for them to be on a second time thus possibly taking the spot from another fun team that had the energy & charisma to make it through the race. Unfortunately, Mel is not cut out for this type of high energy activity on a daily basis. They really shouldn't have been on this time.

I agree with you Gurliegirl, to a certain extent, but would have liked to have lost Jaime/Cara in the race. Could they not find another all girl team that would have been more likeable? Makes me miss the QVC hosts from last season!

Wish Christina would have run with Azaria instead of Ron. Probably been a lot more fun for her.

I was so sad to see Mike and Mel out of the game...I think if Mike held on a little longer he would of found one of the frogs. He was right though if he is out Dad should stop as well just for health sake. Glad to see Zev & Justin doing well. So far I dislike who I didn't care for last time not much has changed there. Boo for Jamie & Cara + Luke & Margie! Everyone else Go Go Go!!!

I am so over Ron and Christina. I hope they leave next week. Neither one of them seemed to learn anything from their last stint on TAR.

Mike and Mel had no business going on this race a second time. Especially after knowing how physical the race could be. They took a slot from another team who may have been more than willing, and more than able, to run the race.

I think Flight Time and Big Easy made an honest mistake, and didn't realize it until they were in the changing room. They DID leave the fanny pack for Ron, so what was Christina whining about? She claimed they searched for a long time? Um, really? The pack wasn't where you left it, so why would you search for a long time?

I'm thinking Margie and Luke are gonna end up with more racers not wanting to run with them. They seem really eager to take information from another team, but not so eager to give information. But that's OK, cuz karma's gonna bite Margie in the you-know.

Kent cracked me up with his makeup comment!!

Mallory is now officially on the drive me crazy train. Good freaking gawd, girl... you've already traveled all over so why the shriek when you found out you were going to Japan?

Can someone explain to me why Jen and LaKisha didn't pull up their tops during the frog hunt? They had to know they were exposed. I'd think the JP would find it offensive, too, as they are (for the most part) a modest society.

Jaime and Cara don't bother me much. Didn't really appreciate the misdirection about the sideswipe, though. She barely even hit anything, just the mirror? Really CBS.

I think Zev and Justin are my fave team by default now. Interesting that they've won the first two legs.

Best moment of the night for me: Zev watching the car ferris wheel and saying "no whammy, no whammy, no whammy" - just cracked me up!

I think I need to watch the ep again. I have missed so many details because I'm intensely concentrating on what place everyone is in, who will get to the marker/pit stop next etc. So thanks to all of you who posted in here!

Darn! I really thought Mike and Mel would last through the ep because they were further up in the pack when this leg began! Now I'm out of the game!

Mel is not cut out for this type of high energy activity on a daily basis. Gurlie, I don't think Mike is either. As much as I really like them, I don't really like them as TAR racers. I wish they hadn't been on either.

I think Jen and Lakisha might not have had their tops folded properly, so that there was only one layer of fabric in the important places, and a certain amount of nippage showed through the material - not that their tops were actually slipped down. Some of the other girls wore bras underneath, or had more to keep the tops in place, but I think it was extra difficult for J&N.

I thought it was funny that the men had that flap of fabric over the front, so they didn't have to be blurred for err, bulges, like men have had to be in other similar events.... they were so busy thinking about solving the male problem they forgot about the female one!

Were those frogs real? The Cowboys said they knew to stay low to listen for croaking or jumping, but then they looked like fake frogs to me.

Kitt, they were fake. The Cowboys were either very dense or having fun for the audience.

Thanks Lycan! They got their frog so quickly I thought they must know what they were talking about and have real frogs!

I liked that not everybody did the same task on this show! I like to see how the different options pan out time- and difficulty-wise!

mel & mike- hearts were in the right place but with mels age they probably shouldnt have done the show again.

mallory- she is on my last nerve. every reaction is that damn overhappy face and shreik.

globetrotters- imo just an honest mistake with the fanny pack and for all we know with editing phil could have gave them a time penalty when they checked in but didnt show, then showed him saying it to ron/cristina for a more dramatic effect. i doubt he on the spot assessed that penalty.

jaime/cara- my fav team, glad they didnt come in last and glad it was only a mirror she hit.

zev/justin- so far running a great race

margie/luke- there showing a lot of "loyalty" to the teams their getting info from. hope karma gets them on this.

ron/christina- so during their original season and this season their 'plot" has been the over demanding father to daughter relationship. So then she says that she is engaged to Azaria, now correct me if im wrong but wasnt he over controlling of his sister??? so she basically picked someone like daddy.
