I really enjoyed the cowboys and were hoping they could make it to the end. I love their relationship as brothers and also best friends. Funny when the one brother said there was nobody he'd rather race with than his brother . . except maybe his wife!

Well, the most interesting thing to me about the next few weeks of the Race are seeing them have to start "eating their own" - it really benefits those stronger competitors at this point because they have taken out the only really strong competitors (physically), and so I'm thinking the biggest threats now are Kisha/Jen (they are both very physical) and Zev/Justin (they are both pretty physical and they also seem to be pretty intelligent and don't stress each other out too badly). I love the GTs but I think they tend to get a little too distracted and flustered over what appear to be simple things (which is my way of saying they seem like really nice guys but not too sure how well the process information). I think that Kent/Vyxin are at risk and so are Gary and Mallory.

I'm hoping for a Justin/Zev win myself.

I loved the Cowboys exit interview at Realityworld! I did try to go to the cbs "exit speech," but could not get it to come up! Silly goose that I am, I didn't try some of the other short clips to see it they worked.

Has anyone else had trouble with that clip?

I think the Cowboys' disadvantage from the start was that they were the only team from their season, while there were 4 teams from another season. Zev/Justin and the Globetrotters were in another season together.

It sounds like the Cowboys have mingled with the others from clips I've seen. But the alliances seemed already previously formed.

TNT, is this the clip you're trying to see? It opened just fine for me using Google Chrome.

The Amazing Race 18 - Cowboys' Farewell
Clip 2:27 Jet & Cord share their last thoughts on running the race for a second time.

Yes, Bisc, that is the one. I will try again tomorrow at the library as my whimpy little home system doesn't always work well. Thank you for the link!

Zev/Justin are going to have a problem. Justin has done more roadblocks...When they get to the last one it's usually something that requires memory of the entire race. Are they keeping notes? I'm worried Zev will have to do it and he'll get too frustrated.

I think it kind of all depends...perhaps Zev is one of those people who have a meticulous memory for detail and that is where he will really shine...

Looking at the chart Gary and Mallory are in the same position.

The awesome chart Seamonkey publishes every week...it is on the first page of this thread. It shows pretty much the entire race, including how many roadblocks each team has done.

Zev was funny on this week's show with his fondue jokes.

Very sad that the cowboys are gone. It made no sense at all for the Globetrotters to U-Turn them.

Yes Zev had me laughing.

And why do you say it makes no sense, Cricket? They had no idea what was ahead...

The Cowboys were very close to the Globetrotters at that point, and with the way the cab situation is, a slight lead is not enough to ensure you'll get to the finish line first. The Globetrotters are playing to win, not to let the Cowboys win. If they hadn't U-turned them, they could easily have been the ones going home.

It made perfect sense for FT/BE to U-turn Jet/Cord. According to Jet/Cord's exit interview, they were only minutes apart from each other.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I didn't realize they were that close in time, as the Cowboys were still delivering suitcases. It can take time to get the Pit Stop if one has bad directions or a bad cabdriver, I guess. However, Phil did give the Globetrotters a very weird look when he asked about them U-turning the Cowboys.

I was glad no one else used the U-turns.
