Like Teach, I'm enjoying most of the teams and I like the challenges they've had. I wasn't sure about Brook and Claire in the beginning but they're really cracking me up now. Love how Kevin's dad was pumping his hand up in the air as Kevin talked about moving out of his parent's house. Nick and Vicki are no longer annoying me but rather entertaining me. Now if Jill and Thomas just hadn't found that bridge . . .

Elimination Station I've got to say, after watching the Elimination Station video, I'm happy that Katie & Rachel are no longer in the race.

The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via Norway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMYFis0iDh4 For our Canadian friends: Rutt Rohhh! A couple of wasps have just invaded the happy bee hive. First, Elim Sta crew is going bathing at Priscina King's Bath. It's a beautiful cove type pool where the Mayan King used to bathe his bambinos/children. Laughter when they discover there are schools of fish swimming around them. Describe their Wah Wah Wah Wahs each team has their own version. The Wah Wah is the signature of ES, takes the sting out of losing so they can kind of laugh about it. In the pool, Connor/Jonathan show theirs 'a harmonized version' like they did when they first arrived. Ron/Tony show their dance type, waving their arms as they go "Wah Wah Hell". Andie/Jenna show their weird 'operatic soprano' version (funny as heck). They're having a great time, C/J said it's all "good, happy fun energy". Then back home, in come Katie/Rachel to sit around the couch. Ron makes the mistake of asking how they feel? Like, Deeply Disappointed, Relieved, what? Yep, they are DEEPLY Disappointed and the smack begins. They just KNEW they were supposed to win, because they are better than any of the teams that are left. Confessional w/Tony who says "To say you're one of the stronger teams! Clearly not -- cause you're here". Back to the couch scene where all the other teams are saying, hey we cried for 2 days but this place is fun too. They show K/R on their bed talking about how they don't want to hear all the positive comments, (Bisc: just same sort of comments they've lobbed all along on the race). Back to Tony/Ron confessional telling that as more teams arrived, they knew that people would be more disappointed because they had gone longer and didn't want to be losers. 'But we're all disappointed with the energy they K/R brought to the house, will just have to deal with it' (Ron totally agreeing). Bedroom: K/R brought up that they had "negative sadness" but felt like they were comparing them to other teams and that annoys her being compared to other teams that aren't as strong. Generally, that's the gist. I find it so funny that Ron/Tony seem to be like the House Den Mothers, which is probably why everyone has been having such a great time so far.

Well, so far I have 3 favorites. The docs, the QVC gals and the father and daughter, even if Mallory would drive me nuts being so "happy" all the time. I don't like the two couples who are fighting, although I did chuckle and enjoy Nick having a hard time on the bike after he bragged about himself being so good at it. LOL I think the docs are my fav. Major props to eating that head... I couldn't have done it and I'm not vegetarian! She was awesome!

I'm really developing a fondness for Vicki! After Nick saying that he's been a competitive bike racer, then whimpering as they rode along. While Vicki was riding along, saying it didn't bother her -- mind you, this is just after she had given the legs a good work out rappelling up that bridge. I like how Kevin is getting more gentle and caring of his Dad Michael, less demanding. I think that past task where Dad almost collapsed really increased the learning curve. If Dad can't make it, you're BOTH out of the race. I'm really glad that Katie/Rachel are gone. I never found them cute or kind. Still not sure who I'm rooting for, I just like so many of the teams!

Since most women don't have a lot of upper body strength, pull up the rope would give the men the advantage.

It was obvious to me that Katie and Rachel weren't long for the race, it was just a matter of time. I don't think they have the brain matter to have gotten very far.

I really enjoy the teams this year. I love Mallory and her dad. I hate when they make them eat yelcky food. I was surprised she didnt puke right after to keep most of the meat from getting too far in her system. I wonder how her body felt the next day. 22 yrs is a long time with no meat and then to shock your system with the gross yelcky meat must be horrible

Better to make them eat lutefisk (dried codfish soaked in lye & eaten at Christmas with cream sauce). Most people are afraid to try it, but it is taste like white potatoes.

I still am not a fan of Mallory's -- she's just way too happy! And shrill. But I admire her attitude. Glad the volleyball girls were gone. As athletic as they are they should have been better at some of the tasks...they must have a map reading problem. I like the Docs and the QVC girls best too. Love Viki on the bike and her attitude on the rappel. That would have been hard!

She totally rocked the rappel! (I'm not so sure it's upper body strength as it is getting the rhythm down -- knees up, stand up and pull up, knees up, stand up and pull up.) I want the docs and the QVC hosts to be in the finale. I like their attitudes, and I'd love to see an F3 with two all-women teams. And I have to give it to Kat... I'm not sure I could've eaten that sheep's head. Aside from the fact that it was meat, it was DISGUSTING meat! I don't care if it IS a delicacy in Norway, it's certainly not gonna be a delicacy in my tummy! I did love how she said she'd wait to deal with her stomach once they got to the pit stop. LOL!

I would love to see doctors and QVC in the Final Three. Hopefully, this will be the season where a female team will win it all. I also love Kevin and Michael. Dad was cracking me up the way he was fistpumping the air when his son was talking about moving out - he had me rolling!!!

I snickered about that too. I really think they thought that anybody could do the Fast Forward, instead of the first team to accomplish it. Makes you wonder if they applied or were recruited.

Oh, yeah, I totally cracked up about that? Let's stand around and see if it means someone is trying to "take it" and see if we can try... Duh! And oh yeah, let's go try for the fast forward even though we think everyone ahead of us is probably trying for it. Talk about a waste of time! Apparently they HAVEN'T watched TAR before! (Bet they were recruited!!!!)

Which kind of disappoints me, because for the most part I haven't gotten that "recruited" feel from The Amazing Race contestants in the last few years. They made an amazing recovery.

When I saw they had to do the repelling task I cringed because I remember in Season Five with the bowling moms, they were so far ahead of a young male/female team and one of the moms had to get up that thing and she just did not have the upper body strength. I think they were in their 40's. It was so sad because that is what ultimately lost if for them and they had done such a great job up until the. I was amazed when I saw Vicki doing it instead of Nick and she totally rocked it. Loving this season. All good teams.
