Oh, I still love it, too. I really love seeing all of the places and some of the challenges are fun.

But this group is kind of blah.

I really only look forward to seeing the KY guys and the Long Island guys are starting to grow on me.

I am a Brenchel fan but they are really a yawn for me so far.

I agree with Auntiemike. There are teams I don't even know their names yet, much less care.

I remember being crushed when they suddenly went off the air their first season.

Of course it was because of 9/11 and they returned, but for awhile nobody knew if they would get picked up.

Love this show.

I know them as the Border guys, The "Teachers", Team Kentucky, The mean team, Team troop, Rachels team, and I tend to forget Joey and Danny.

I even like the tasks this year.

I think it is a good season. The teams are okay and the tasks seem more interesting than in recent years. And I love that there isn't another show like it on TV.

It's still my favorite show.

Gidget, Team Jersey Shore has also been growing on me the last couple of weeks.

I think it's more interesting when different teams win each leg; so far, we've only had two teams on top. And the border patrol guys are just so full of themselves, it's hard for me to like them. I greatly preferred the snowboarders last year who won a lot, but had fun doing it.

I think that they have too many all male teams this season.

I didn't like Art and JJ very much but then they had to go and give the money for Mark's daughter. Darn them! They do seem full of themselves but they weren't so bad on this last episode. The couples are all just annoying. I enjoy Mark and Bopper's joy with the whole thing.

I put some info in the Bio section about JJ of Art and JJ. I thought it was interesting background info.

I like Art and JJ. And the season, but there have been more exciting teams for me in the past ..

Mark and Bopper were lucky that they seemed to catch up with a bunch of teams who were on the third train, but they still worked hard and enjoyed themselves and didn't give up and I was just as tired from "helping" them along with TNT to get to that pit stop.


And Rachel did cry a bit.

That was a good interview with Kerri and Stacy. It was interesting to see their perception of a few of their fellow racers.

Stacie Bowers: I was definitely surprised that Art and J.J. did that, because in my experiences with them, they weren't -- it didn't seem like they were the most pleasant people to be around.
<snip>

Reality TV World: Were you guys aware at all of the bad relations that existed between Rachel and Brendon and Vanessa Macias and Ralph Kelley? During a previous leg, it seemed like Rachel and Brendon really disliked Vanessa and it got to the point where they couldn't even work in the same space. Did you notice any of that happening while you were racing?

Stacy Bowers: We definitely noticed the tension, but I mean, I think a lot of people noticed tension with Vanessa because she was just a difficult person. But we saw it because we were there in the airport.

We saw them exchanging words and I wasn't surprised. Rachel is a really nice person and when you pair a nice person with somebody who's just kind of a mean girl -- personality I mean -- that's what happens.

best part of the entire show was Brendan wiping out on the cow poop.

there was something karma like about it.

Thanks for the help, Sea!

I have heard the expression "ugly as a mud fence" all my life, but a "mud RAIL fence" is new to me. Has anyone else heard that used before?

Notice that Reality TV's interviewer tried to put the ugliness off on Rachel and Brendon - "Rachel and Brendon really disliked Vanessa" - but that Stacy said that Vanessa was the difficult person and that Rachel was nice. Certainly not the way it is edited, is it? I'm glad to know that Rachel wasn't universally despised by her competitors.

I noticed that, Roxi. They asked the first few people how they felt about Rachel being in the race after she already won a million dollars on Big Brother. Except she didn't win a million dollars, it was half that amount.

I think Rachel would be nice to anyone, as long as they didn't want to come between her and her man.

I think Rachel can be a very nice person - as long as Brenden isn't around. I think he brings out the worst in her.

I think competition and stress brings out the worst in Rachel. And "yeah" for the cousins for offering their perception of the disharmony between team Brenchel and Team Vanessa/Ralph. Vanessa makes a very pretty face for the camera.It is not always just Rachel's fault alone.

DARN! I just realized that, since I am working "Mary Poppins" Sunday, I will miss the "live" version of the next episode. I will certainly swing by here to see what happened so that I can watch it at the library on Monday without worrying about what happened!
