I just realized it cause you had the same name for both teams. I cheated and looked at the pics at the top. LOL

Good show, would have been great if I didn't have to hear Rachel's negativity over and over. Of course, it was almost worth it to see Brendon fall down at the finish lolol. I think Brendon really wants to be cool, but just can't seem to pull it off.

So glad to see the KY guys catch up! It about wore me out trying to shove them along. I loved what a good time they had at the speed bump!

I loved the beard challenge - such a novel idea!

I really enjoyed tonite's show. That is such a beautiful area and brought back great memories when Jim and I were there.
Funny but I don't see Rachel being any more negative than the other contestants. I think that Valerie is the worse of all!!

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.

In Leg 5 in Bavaria, before starting the detour task, Art and Bopper had to complete a yodelling task for their Speed Bump penalty.

LIke others, it was nostalgic to see Neuschwannstein, I went there on a high school trip when I was only 16. we took the carriage ride to the top. :-)

Glad the Kentucky guys are still in it, I always love the teams that are loving the adventure.

I was kind of hoping taking the carriage ride would be a penalty for Art and J.J. I guess it's kind of perverse of me, but I really don't care to see one team dominate so completely and not entertain me at the same time.

I thought that Art and J.J. had forgotten to take their gnome in the task bullseye. The camera panned in on a gnome just as they were running out of the building..but they didn't.

I have a feeling the border guys wont make top 4. We are seeing so much of them now and Phil driving home the point of their 3 1st places. I really like them but I wont be surprised if they lose in next few wks.

Pamy, I agree about the border guys. They keep saying how they're so strong and they'll win that I think they'll be eliminated in some bone headed move.

I thought that about the gnome too but alas, no such luck (or bad luck). I realize that my dislike of them is unfounded - they are probably great guys - but their self-affirmation every time they turn around (isn't that a nice way of putting it?) gets old real fast.

Usually I have a couple or two that I like immediately and cheer for each week. I don't even know the names of everyone yet.

Is it just me or is this season not quite as compelling as past seasons?

Not just you Auntiemike! The team that went home this week I thought they had already left.

I am completely disinterested this season, and I just refuse to listen to Rachel and Brendon fighting and whining, so I find myself switching over to the Apprentice show--a first for me. I can't believe I prefer that over AR, which was once my favorite show on TV. I am just so very tired of retreads and same old, same old bs on all these "reality" shows.
