where was the outrage at the beginning of the race when some of the teams were helping some others over that task where they had to spell out the message on the nautical flags? seems like sharing the km is the same thing. this has been done in previous races too. we just all like the cowboys better! LOL I will miss them too. i really think vyxin acts more maternal to kent than girlfriend.

Texannie, that's what my daughter has been saying all along. My daughter asked me to find out their ages because she seems much too mature for him. They've been pals for a long time and I think she's just used to taking care of him.

Spear, I suspect that was the idea. You know who's been flying under the radar? Kisha/Jen- they haven't had a really bad leg. They could be the ones who don't win any leg except the one that counts.....

The Cowboys were and are still my favorite team ever. I've watched every season, and they are my number one team..Sorry that the GTs are now at the bottom of my list.(taking a pee at the library was gross) I don't care who wins now.

I hated that the Cowboys were eliminated in this way...with the other teams just giving the answer to teams who should have had to start over the way that Jet did. I also didn't like the feeling that all the other teams seemed to be "ganging up" (for lack of a better word) against the Cowboys. I just didn't feel very good after watching that episode last night. Sure, I probably only feel this way because I love the Cowboys, but I hated that they all seemed so gleeful over putting the Cowboys "on ice" as one of the teams said. Not even sure I'll even finish watching the season at this point.

<99> Honestly, I am very happy that they are the team that was eliminated. Sure, I also want Mallory to go, and well as Kent, but I am sure that Kent won't make it to F3 no matter how hard Vyxsin tries. Finally, I sort of wonder why the cowboys isolated themselves so much. They are such good old boys, right? They weren't the biggest threat, as other teams had scored more first place finishes. Zev and Justin seem to me to be a stronger team. Even Gary/Mallory! Either way I'm still doing a happy dance!

I didn't really like when they helped each other on the nautical thing either. I want teams to accept the challenge and figure things out on their own. Margie and Luke always seemed to be in the mix of people helping each other too much, and expecting to be helped too much. I want the teams to be tested, stretched, have to figure things out on their own! And yes, it felt like ganging up on the Cowboys. No one helped them, everyone wanted them eliminated because they are so strong. If that kind of strategy had been against one of those awful, mean teams of the past it might not leave such a sour taste, but against these two that play fair, are courteous, nice, hard working?! TAR really needs an "after" show, so these kinds of things can be discussed.

Zev & Justin ...I'd love to see them win. I was pulling for the Cowboys, but since that's not to be, it's the other brothers for me.

I agree with you Costa...even though I'm a cowboy fan. Sharing info has been in this race, so knowing that perhaps he should have stuck with Gary who hadn't gotten lost...rather than leaving him in the dust.

was not a big cowboy fan .... glad they are gone. "Once Kent & Vyxen are gone, I good with whichever team wins." I agree with this .... never ever seen a "guy" whine as much as kent... geesh!

I am so sorry to see the cowboys leave. However, with that said, I see a lot of comments about sharing information. But, wasn't it Jet that rode off and left Gary, after agreeing to work together? Had he not done that it might have been a whole different ending for the cowboys.

   I didn't see the cowboys isolating themselves, I saw the other teams viewing them as THE team to beat, so not willing to pair up with them. I'd also guess that the cowboys don't spend much time in LA or NY at any of the TAR meetups, schmoozing with other TAR teams, making those off-game connections. I'd imagine they are back at the ranch. I'd rank the Cowboys as one of my favorite TAR teams. They will be sorely missed. Good gravy! Never expected them to be out last night.

Yes, I agree about Jet leaving Gary in the dust. I'm not sure why he did that, especially after he said he'd gotten lost and Gary hadn't. He should have stayed with Gary. I wonder if that question will be asked in the interviews. I'd like to know.

Yeah Brenda and Biloxi....that could have made a different ending completely...that's what I was thinking when he did it..Gary would have given him the correct answer.

Cowboys are brothers; Zev and Justin are friends.

It does seem ironic that Jet just took off and left Gary, when in the long run it probably would have served him better to stay close to him. I don't enjoy the sharing of information. I like to see the teams sink or swim on their own, whether it means a team I like goes out or not. But I think it lessens the "poor Cowboys" feeling in light of Jet's ditching Gary like he did. Not saying he owed Gary anything, but that also meant that nobody owed Jet anything either.

It's a race for $1 million. I would have worked with other teams against the Cowboys too. They have shown that they can make a real comeback. I viewed them as the strongest and most dangerous team. As a viewer, I'm sad they are gone. I liked to watch them race. I just love Mallory's enthusiasm. I like Gary a whole lot. I'm glad they didn't get eliminated. Kent is really whining a lot, but he has shown compassion and support for Vyxsin as well. I don't enjoy all his whining but I'd rather see that than what other guys on this race have done when stressed...verbally bullying their partner.

I don't think Gary would have given him the correct answer, no matter what, but Cord shouldn't have ridden off and left him.

Oh I do Roxi. If he would have stuck with him, he would have...as he has in the past helped others.

I'm not sad to see the cowboys go. And, watching that bonus footage helped clarify why: they absolutely butcher the English language. Some deviations from standard English are normal, but they are out of control. OTOH, they seem like nice people, so I wish them well. I just don't want to see them on my TV anymore.

I think Gary would have given that cowboy the answer if he had stuck with him. Gary and Mallory have both shown a great willingness to help others throughout the race, even when it seemed like it might be a detriment to themselves.
