Rachel reminds me of Lucille Ball ....the way Lucy would cry loudly when something went wrong. Only Lucy was funny. Rachel is just damn annoying.

Very generous of the border patrol guys to give the country boys $10,000. Wonder how they really felt about it when they found out it was non-elim? They were very gracious about it on the show!

The mute button got a workout with Rachel tonight, but so glad the Kentucky team was not eliminated. It will be interesting to see how/when they do a favor for the border patrol guys - I believe both of those teams when they say they want to help each other.

What was the "sweet gesture?" I don't see anything mentioned here on what it was. I'm just now starting watching. I'd like to be watching for it when it happens.

Bopper lives near a coal plant and his daughter has had respiratory illnesses since she was born. He wants to be able to afford to move.

Here is his FB page:

Whoami, it comes at the end of the show when Bopper and Mark get to the mat. Truly a remarkable moment for TAR.

So glad it was non-elim! I really like the country boys.

Now we have 2 bickering couples. Not sure who's worse. The one team is just so nasty to each other. And Rachel and B are just so immature and manipulative to each other. Both are nauseating to watch.

Brandon is going to spend his life apologizing to Rachael. If I were him in the car when they were parking I would have been yelling at her to shut up. She just goes on and on at him telling him every little step in the parking the car, then gets her little feelings hurt when he tries to get her to be quiet.

Have you noticed that when she "cries" there are no tears. It is so obviously fake, Brandon just needs to ignore her and let her keep whining for once just to see what happens.He actually buys the garbage she throws at him about him being mean to her.

She is the first person on this show that has made me yell at my TV. What a drama queen she is.

So glad to see Kentucky did not go home. And I have liked the border patrol agents from the very first. Now I know why.

At least the other Rachael does not whine. She pretty much holds her own. They should switch partners, then whiny Rachael could have something to really whine about.

Has Rachel ever watched TAR before? Her whining "Amazing Race is supposed to be fun and good." Really? Does she really not know that this race is one of the most stressful things a couple can do? What was she expecting, to go frolicking around the world on CBS's dime and just have a grand old time? Apparently so, since she also whined she wanted on Big Brother again.

Probably a lone voice in the crowd here, based on what I am reading, but I was sad the country boys didn't go! I can't stand listening to them and their accent makes them literally incomprehensible more than half the time! Gives me a headache!

Rachel didn't whine that she wanted to be on BB again...she was crying and saying that she's "not on BB again" and that's why this should be "fun".

1 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. 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.

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.

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.

-UGH.. my recording was fractures, so there would be chunks of The Good Wife, a bit of TAR, then part of a commercial.. took forever to finally figure out the actul order ..

Everything said about Rachel.. yes.. and Dave and Brendon, who is namecalling Vanessa and her partner worse than Vanessa is about Rachel.. and you can just imagine all the drama Rachel puts out at pit stops.

Loved what the Border Patrol Agents did for Bopper. I wouldn't be surprised, if Mark and Bopper do not win, that some of the others might do a fundraiser to help with his daughter.

Glad this was NEL, to save two good guys and we can only hope Brenchel will drop to last next week.

I did enjoy the reactions when the heads flew off the statues!!

Bad Rachel should not be yelling at Brendan, but, yes, she does need a smarter boyfriend.

I feel sorry for good Rachel. He is very controlling and condescending.

Border Patrol did not give Mark and Bopper $10,000. They "split" it with them, so presumably half, or $5,000. I was happy to see mark and bopper not eliminated. Whereas they first came across as hopeless hillbillies, they are now seeming to be heartland American genuine good guys.

Yep.. I quoted the "split".. and wasn't sure if it was a split with both Bopper and Mark or just Bopper. Details weren't really given, but it was nice..

I got the impression that They split the money only with Bopper. I am very impressed with Art and J.J. and I am now rooting for them to win. And if not them, then Mark and Bopper.

I could have sworn Rachel said she wanted back on Big Brother. At least, that's what the closed captioning said. Oh well.

Rachel and Brendon are so wacky with each other I've given up on even thinking about it. I just go along for the ride.

Pretty good season so far. The challenges are a bit more interesting again.

I got the impression that they were going to split the money with only Bopper since he needed it for his daughter.

I can't help but think we would see a completely different Rachel had she been able to run the race last season with her friend but wasn't able to because of BB. Brenden does tend to bring out the worst in her, but that's because he is so controlling, condescending and verbally abusive towards her. I really wish she would have taken that $500,000 and ran for the hills.
